While I find the idea amazing, the last time I did any bot making was coding npcs for the DiscworldMUD back in the end of '90s & early 2000th.
And I don't really consider any shell scripting I did after that "bot making", so I am quite rusty and out of date on those part. But same as steem is a place that makes me want to improve my writing chops, this sounds as something, that I should also look into.
I also really like I am not the only person feels it is like the ultimate RPG, still, I beleive you are the first person who I saw actually saying that.
