Commas DON'T make it easier specifically because commas are an available character in usernames. Splitting by spaces is definitely 10 times easier specifically because a username cannot start or end on a space, and I could go with the method of checking by concatenation, except that this fails in some situations.

If a name is unable to be matched, is the goal to simply drop each piece until a Player is found? For instance, I misspell The Phantom Librarian as The Phantom Library, which fails my matching function, but then the concatenation continues. The potential fix for this is to start dropping the first item in the array and try again, which could create a large wait as the bot attempts to find each instance. That means the first player voted wouldn't be matched up, and in the case of long strings with multiple spaces, it could be potentially computation heavy. I'd probably fail it at a certain point.

In your case, Fallacy, if the player had one vote, it'd end up only voting for The Phantom Librarian, which I think works fine.

heydude6, voting for anything other than a player's name or nickname automatically counts as an unvote. Right now, this works out fairly well, since most people start a post with Unvote. And then type a bit and then vote for a New Player. This works with Mamobo because Mamobo specifically looks at only the last instance of red text in a post (which is why having multiple instances would require a change). If we allow ONLY votes in a row and splitting by spaces, I can make it work, but I'd need to write a decent checking function, and hopefully we never come across someone with a name like webadict two...

I don't believe line breaks can be included in usernames, so how about that as the separator? If you do that, you can also solve points 2 and 3 by requiring players to post their votes on their own lines separate from the rest of the post as well.

e.g.

You're scum because of X and Y,
Alice
Alice
and Bob and Charlie are your buddies.

I'm thinking, you could ask Toady to give Mamobo moderator permissions. Then it would be able to lock any approved thread once we reached enough votes for a hammer or shorten.

You should only try this once it's closer to completion though.

That would equate giving webadict moderator permissions. Probably better to just have Mamobo create the thread so it can lock it.

Congratulations on notquitethere for their work in finding a bug by CAPITALIZING THE COLOR TAG. Simply astounding.

Won't read that, and I'm okay with it.

So how exactly did you make Mamobo handle the double votes during the BYOR 15? You were talking about having trouble making double votes work, but they were working in our BYOR. You even allowed Mamobo to handle stolen votes during Excalibur shenanigans.

Feature Suggestions
Are you planning on implementing functionality for secret votes? Possibly sent through PM, or at least the moderator's PM?

What have you thought about adding vote weights, like when Leafsnail's vote counted for double in Vector's princess mafia? That may not be necessary if the weights are a secret, but it probably would be important for hammer detection.

In order to give Mamobo a bit more flexibility, is it possible to make it perform a vanilla vote count and have it send it to the moderator as a PM? That way, the moderator can add in whatever voting shenanigans they dream of that the code doesn't account for, and then post the modified votecount themselves. Seems better than coding a special case every possible idea a crackhead can think of. Some special cases like double votes and stolen votes should be part of the default package, but you shouldn't account for everything.

Interesting that Mamobo itself is shown as not voting.

Easy: It didn't. I just hand-did them using Mamobo.

Not impossible, but definitely a low priority feature. I would likely add it some time further from now, but if you just want it to send to the moderator, that's very possible.

[heydude6]

I think it's a good stop-gap while we wait for the rest of the features to get developed. It means every game can get some benefit from Mamobo at least, while in it's current state, some games can't use it.

Well, that broke it, didn't it?
