IRC Randomness
Posted by docsmooth on 2010/12/22
For background: DocSmooTH is a bot, 8ball relies on Perl’s “random()†function, and everyone in the channel thinks that Remfin is really a bot, so they often call him Skynet.
<Newpa_Hasai> !8ball In 10-20 years, will a large number of USN ships run on fusion, and be armed with railguns?
<DocSmooTH> My sources say no.
<Remfin> !8ball In 10-20 years, will a large number of USN ships be controlled by Skynet and turned on humans?
<DocSmooTH> Ask again later.
<Remfin> clearly skynet's time travel capabilities are making 8ball unreliable
<vdou|> !8ball is Remfin really Skynet?
<DocSmooTH> I have my doubts.
<vdou|> !8ball have you been hax0rd?
<DocSmooTH> Yes - definitely.
<vdou|>Â 
<Remfin> !8ball were you messing with vdou?
<DocSmooTH> My reply is no.
<Remfin> !8ball but are you messing with me now?
<DocSmooTH> Better not tell you now.
I swear I didn’t mess with that output, or the actual exchange.
