What is Princess Bot?

How does Princess Bot Work?

Princess bot uses plug in functions called 'Cogs' to provide different functions and tools. It has fun and utility functions all in the same place.

We interact with the bot primarily via ! commands, which tell the bot we're talking to it specifically. However some functions also use / commands, which also give you a little guide when writing them, so that you know you're giving it the info it needs.

How do I check if the bot is working OK? (Mods)

The bot is reliant on a steady internet connection at Under's location right now, this may change in the future but to keep costs down we're running it on existing hardware. If the bot is offline there may be a connection problem. Firstly if you can visit this site, the server is running OK, this runs on the same box. If the bot is offline and this site is reachable ping @Underestimated37 to let him know, and he'll check. You can also issue the command !uptime to get a message telling you how long the bot's been awake. Note that while you can run some commands in a DM with the bot, some server specific stuff needs you to run the command from on the server. Mods can use the #bot-spam channel for admin commands, and regular members have the #poke-the-bot channel for public safe commands.
