Describe the bug
Running wars fail to re-load after restarting the bot.

Add a mode for running random wars over a certain time period in a channel.

Describe the bug
The message for Timmy spotting a raptor is only one character long. Weird.

Users who don't understand the meaning of the brackets in documentation often end up leaving them in the command. Let's fix that up, so that they don't get errors.

Move the 4 tune-able parameters for bot chatter into the DB.

Change some commands, especially spammy ones, to direct-message the user instead of spamming the channel, more like how the !help responses work.

Allow Users to interact with Timmy in private/direct messages for things that general channels don't care about or things that normally result in PMs(!interactionflag, !Chaininfo, Etc.)

Create a new feature for doing novel plot suggestions using a markov database.

Timer process data needs to be stored so that it can be reset later from within the bot, instead of requiring a restart.

Describe the bug
Reporting wordcount after a sprint crashes Timmy.

Alter the list concept in Timmy to support arbitrary lists without requiring new tables.

In many places in Timmy, there are 'preset' messages that he uses when certain things happen. I've been working on adding more variations to those, so that his output is a little bit more interesting and varied. If you want to help with Timmy, but don't know coding, those would be great places to start.

Right now, the main place I'd like to see this done is in the new raptor messages for bragging, stealing plot bunnies, and recruiting raptors from another channel.

Wrimos seem to be confused with the wording: !startwar - Starts a word war

Suggest changing it to: !startwar - Starts a word war

(Counterpart to !summon)

<MobileAngel> Did someone already point that out? "Options, chain wars: chains:<chain count>" - the option he responds to seems to be "chain:<count>", without the 's'

Swap out the bot's name in markov text with random names from the channel. (Need to do something for twitter and novel output too.)

It would be helpful to be able to Schedule Word wars to an exact time (I.e. 8:45 Am, 4:00 pm, 23:45 etc.) . I would suggest that you limit the start times to something reasonable. (say within a few hours) so as to not put undue pressure on the hosting resources.

If people start a line with something like: $5 (as if it was money), instead of the standard error about not being allowed to do that, have Timmy instead act as if he had accepted a donation of money.

The 'bragging' behavior post-report needs to be implemented.

Still investigating origin of issue, but occasionally, the timers just stop running for no apparent reason. Seems to happen most when they are under heavy use.

Add a soft ignore setting that will still allow command usage, but won't react to normal messages.

Describe the bug
Submitting a war report in a PM tries to access channel war data, which doesn't exist for PMs. These needs a safety check.
