Helpbot
“Helpbot is the computer opponent you face in older games that is so stupid you have to help them become a challenge, right?.”
“I love you!”
“Ah, gee, i love you too.”
Sorry Oscar, you're not all wrong, that can be the case, but dumb computer opponents hasn't been covered by any articles yet. Thus i cannot inform you, since i myself have not yet been informed.
This is not what this article is about though. This article is about Helpbot!. Helpbot is a bot in anarchy online, in other words the bot that is always surfing the net and seriously annoying the supercomputers, who again are the ones continiously disemboweling your internet speed.
Helpbot doesn't have a life. Since he's a bot who's designed to help people, he spends all his day getting messages containing anything from "I'm in bed with y0 right now!! z0mg!! am i 1337 l0v3r or w4t?" to "What is life anyway? is there any reason to the question? is there any reason to ask at all?". Sometimes serious people who actually wants help show up, they ask if he loves them, if snow is real or if god is real. The most normal question is "what sex am i?"
If you play Anarchy online, you will already know that helpbot actually takes the time to answer all of these questions in deep detail. For an example, yesturday i asked helpbot how i could ask him for help, and he answered me by saing "Huh? Try /tell helpbot help" which really helped me out.
How do i interact with helpbot?[edit]
That's easy, you don't! You talk with him! That can hardly be called interacting can it? To talk to him, first you must be in the anarchy on the line. Second you must have a keyboard. Third you must have the "enter" key on your keyboard. Fouth you write "/tell helpbot i need to know how to obtain your divine aid" in any chat except the french one, and press the divine "enter" button.
Now you have learned how to talk to him. It is now time to learn how to ask him inapropriate questions that no one but helpbot will answer. Of course it varies if helpbot will answer. If the question is very confusing or nonsensical, he will tell you how to ask him about how you can ask him about how you can ask him about how you can ask him about how you can ask him about how you can ask him about... Inapropriate and r0x0r n00b'ish or proposal questions or expressions are never answered, instead they are responded to in a way that is very often nonsentical, arabic, a suggestion on rephrase of what you wrote or a *slight* perversion of what you wrote. Pretty much anything else will be responded with even more telling you how to ask him about how to ask him about how to ask him about how to ask him about how to... Pretty much anything else can be asked, although even that will mostly be answered with even more telling you how to ask him about how to... Of course, some will not generate any response at all, except a slight sound of fire coming from your computer.
The Response[edit]
Randomly generated responses![edit]
If you type especially strangely buildt sentences, or sentences with a LOT of letters/words that are highly convertable to leetspeak, you will find yourself in rolling on the floor in deep manic laughter without any apparent cause or cure.
If you type especially long sentences, you'll fall asleed before you manage to hit the enter key. If you drink coffee to avoid falling asleed, you'll die of boredom. If you have excellent medics at hand, they'll die of boredom!
