Monkeybot

Monkeybot is a campfire bot to handle status tracking and misc tasks for the Fort Wayne Screaming Monkey's Guild.

The system is currently an organic hodgepodge and probably shouldn't be used anywhere without some TLC.

• Email log of day's messages

• Could email some outputs instead of dump to chat

• Use away messages (Cucumber feature below...or at least my "hack" at it)

  Feature: Away message repeating
  In order to not get Hulk angry when someone doesn't respond right away
  As a chat user I want monkeybot to repeat someone's away message when I DM them

  Scenario: Messaging a user who is away  
    Given a user "Tim Harvey:" who is "/away At a meeting"  
    When I send a message "Tim Harvey: Want to do lunch?"  
    Then monkeybot will respond "Tim Harvey is away: At a meeting"  
  
  Scenario: Messaging a user who is back  
    Given a user "Tim Harvey:" who is "/back Chatting with Screaming Monkeys"  
    When I send a message "Tim Harvey: Do you like Chuck Norris?"  
    Then monkeybot will not respond
