A downloadable Bot

N Of These People Are Lying - NOTPAL bot

What is NOTPAL?
Originally a series of videos 'Two of these people are lying' made by TechDif (Tom Scott, Matt Gray, Garry Brannan and Chris Joel ), NOTPAL is a game of lying, telling the truth and guessing.If you know, you know, if not read one of the rule variations here or, better, watch it being played here.

What is this?
Now, this here is a bot I quickly whipped up for discord - I wanted to play this with my friends online, every single website for notpal sucked if worked at all, and I got annoyed. So here it is, for now just a source file (which means to launch it, you need to have python3 installed as well as random and discord.py modules) but soon enough I'll release a compiled version. Also the code is kinda meh, but it works well enough.

Why is this?
Main issue with playing notpal online is that every message you send isn't anonymous and just by looking into the chat will immediately reveal who is lying and who isn't. There's no pot to throw papers into and then draw at random, if you will.

So, the bot can collect submissions for articles, remove specific ones or remove all of them, list all of them and most importantly show you a random one. Plus it automatically deletes submission messages, so you can't know who sent it.

Usage
Bot prefix is !notpal
Use !notpal help to see help and every other command you may need
I will probably maybe at some point host the bot somewhere, but it will require a bit of a rewrite. Plus, hosting costs money, so yeh. Maybe sometime in the future.

Install instructions

Currently, you will have to make your own bot on discord devpage, grab the bot token and insert it in the bottom of the source file. After which (given you have python3 and discord.py package installed) run the script.

Writing a full tutorial on how to get a bot token or how to install python3 will be too long, but it is all easy enough and google (or, better, duckduckgo if not searx) is/are your friends as far as finding out how to do that goes.
