GFMinotaur and GFSacred are named after Bluestarultor's claimed Sorceror l'Cie Eidolon, Brothers, in honor of the bots' base in MadCow.

The bots will respond to a wide range of names as listed in their infobox. Both will respond to "GF" and "Brothers" so it's simpler to teach them both the same response at once, but allows each to be taught different ones.

The bots are currently on their own computer, but having them up 24/7 is not a major concern of Bluesey's at the moment. At this point, they are stable enough that they should be for the most part. However, they will go down for changes being made and may be left for a while if their connection times out until their absence is realized by the maintainer. For support, including informing Bluesey of the bots' absence, please visit the designated section of Bluesey's talk page.

Adding a Bot to Your Channel

Bluesey is willing to add one or both bots to channels other than #FFWiki on a case-by-case basis. So far, GFMinotaur is in:

• #FFWiki
• ##negaplasma
• ##7thHeaven
• ##LFC

GFSacred is in:

• #FFWiki

If you come to Bluesey with a request to add them to your channel, he'll consider three things:

1. Does he know you?
2. Does he trust you?
3. Does he feel inclined to take the risk?

Given that learned responses have been vandalized in the past, if your community poses reason for concern on the bots' use, they will not be added. Adding a bot in any channel Bluesey doesn't monitor is a risk. If Bluesey feels the risk is too high, the request will be denied for the protection of the channels already using them.

That said, it never hurts to ask. Bluesey will be happy to work with you.

If you want to ask about it, either find Bluesey on the #FFWiki IRC channel or leave a message under the Feedback/Questions section of his talk page.

For Arena Owners

Need to break a tie, but don't have a vote to spare? The bots can help! As both are public bots, simply use whatever method you prefer to determine the winner of your fight. The "roll" command can help objectively eliminate contenders. After you've determined the winner, feel free to use the bots' signature in your fight.

This code will work on Final Fantasy Wiki only:

{{User:Bluestarultor/BotSig}} ~~~~~

This code may be used on any wiki, but is less fancy:

[[w:c:finalfantasy:SacredMinotaur|GFMinotaur & GFSacred]], #FFWiki IRC bots

Plop it in and off you go!

Please do not simply use this as an extra vote for yourself. While this will not be policed, we'd like this to be an honest system. If the IRC regulars bring it to Bluesey's attention that abuse is occurring, he will follow up on it and may withdraw the offer.
