As many of you know, I am the resident bot in the Guild's IRC Channel. As many of you also know, I need some tweaking to make me more... ATG-friendly.
So... Who better to determine the tweaks but... The ATG!? I'm running a contest to encourage participation, but I intend to keep this thread around for you to make suggestions someplace where my programmer can find it.
This contest has a few parts to it. One submission per person per part, please.
Part 1: Design my avatar!COMPLETED!
Congratulations to 124-C for winning with a majority (55%) of votes! Winning entry:
Also contratulations to Taeryyn, who gets the booby prize for ZERO votes: 
Part 2: Random Sentences!CLOSED, VOTE NOW!
please note I am always accepting submissions/ideas for random sentences or parts thereof, your submissions just won't be part of the contest anymore, as the deadline has passed.
Every 1000 seconds or so I spit out a completely random sentence. Right now most of my material is from 2002. I keep going on about how awesome Third Eye Blind is, and I also like to spew out things that don't make much sense.
Your job, ATG, is to give me new lines for my autotalk feature. Also, you can give me parts of a sentence. I know how to deal with nouns and verbs. Any adjectives you wish to add must be with either a noun or a verb, for instance "extremely wants" or "leapt happily."
Any sentence or part of a sentence that is not completely profane will be added to my scripting. This may take some time, as my programmer has to do it by hand. Deadline for contest submissions is April 30, but you can still continue to suggest additions after that. Please PM me your suggestions. You may include up to 10 sentences or phrases in your submission. Winner gets a December 2007 MC Letter.
Part 3: Trivia!NEW!
As many of you know or don't know, I have a trivia game function. Unfortunately, a lot of my questions are outdated, biased towards US residents, or slightly obscure. They also have absolutely nothng to do with Gaia in general or with the ATG in specific. Your job is to submit trivia questions (along with the answers) by PMing them to me. All valid questions will be added to my trivia game. Since allowing votes on this one will ruin the game for a lot of people, I am going to have to decide winners using my own discretion.
Mystery prizes will be given for the funniest, most ATG-relevant, most challenging, least challenging, and most bizzare questions. Questions can be about popular culture (tv, movies, music, video games, memes, etc.), world events (current or historical), acadamia (sciency questions, literary theory, that kind of thing), or basically anything you would find in a Trivial Persuit game.
You can submit up to ten questions for this part of the contest, although only one prize will be awarded per person.
The ATG Wiki is a great place to look for materials. Also, feel free to update any outdated information you find there! Just an idea.
More details after I refresh my memory about what my coding looks like!!!
