Do you have a "database" or something for "nicknames" like "rayn", "hf", "eywa" (without the - ) etc?

No, that's why I said spelling is important :D

Some day I'll add some kind of database.

How does your bot work? Like do you have some kind of UI (like in Xatalos' thingy)?

[...]automatically posts the vote count nicely formatted into the vote thread.

Why does everyone want to use a vote thread?
Originally voting thread is because host = lazy
And now you wanna make your bot lazy? lol

I prefer vote threads as a player anyway because it lets you see who voted people and when in a really plainly laid out thread location.

The reason the vote thread is a lot quicker for a bot is that it will take about 3 seconds to parse through the 5 or so pages in a vote thread looking for commands rather than the 200+ pages on the main thread.

I dont understand this though, are you using some 1980 computer?

the limitation is more so teamliquid probably won't like you pinging its site with requests that are bot-like every second, although you could still scrape like every 30 minutes if you get your pick up where you left off functionality going, cause then you can just ignore everything that doesn't have a ##vote and store that in an object to parse through later

it'd be trivial to do it in both the thread and the vote count thread with a bot though, player will just choose their preference at that point

Mm you might be able to set value to days (careful not do overlap ID used for players/ cycle time, I think there is work around for this now I saw but I don't remember well to tell you how) setup to run on return value to find where it is. I barely have experience programming at all, so grain of salt here. I use to use a similar method to check if a certain character had completed a certain quest/ open certain chest / return if else for progressing values so even if you log out and come back it just checked value to place where you were. This was a C++ source using mostly Lua/XML/SQL depending on the variant was running at the time. It was really bloated way of doing things but it worked for what I want to do :p!

I also thinking it's fine to use vote thread. I actually like that better! I have hard time keeping track of games sometime and being able to quickly see where/how vote progress makes it much easier for me. I misquoted vote in one of my recent games because vote thread was in-accurate T.T
