So, this is really alpha, and I still need to add a lot more features to it, but I made a baal/chaos channel announcing bot. It's not a normal BCP script tracking runs via flist this will reliably find new and announce new public Baal and Chaos games on USEast NL (no other realms/modes just yet) via game list and heuristic prediction confirmed by querying game status with the server to confirm its guesses. I won't keep it up forever just yet as I'm still adding a lot on to it but I'll try to have it up for a few hours so if you want to come by and see it you can check it out. It's in Op Kaylin on USEast.

Note: this is in full debug mode, it's probably going to fail an assert somewhere and crash, but for now it seems stable enough that I'd like to let people check it out of they want. Debug mode intentionally has auto-reconnect disabled so it's going to crash and dump core if it disconnects. As such if there's no character named KayBot in the channel, it's not up. [I'll be gone for an hour so I can't fix and restart it while that happens].

NOTE: I am not running these games, I am just tracking them.

-Kaylin

this is back up for the next hour or so while I level a char for ladder

and on again while I leave for a bit, feel free to use it to find games.

ref noticed this channel yesterday, ref found this channel very useful
ref been following a run that doesnt have a channel, now Kay's channel kinda fills in the missing part for this run. By joining Op Kaylin, ref doesn't need to spam join the run again

did a few hours of work on it. no new publicly facing features. LMK if it drops.

I'll help you get your channel up if you need, pm me!

bots now use median of 5 to compute game popularity estimates from the previous up to 5 games in the sequence, and computes the average run length from the times between game creations for the current and previous 5 games in the sequence.
