SacredMinotaur MadCow IRC Bot

SacredMinotaur is named after Bluestarultor's claimed Sorceror l'Cie Eidolon, Brothers, in honor of the bot's base in MadCow.

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

SacredMinotaur will respond to a wide range of names, including its own, "Sacred," "Minotaur," "Mino," "Cow," "Bull," "Brothers," and "GF," and "Bessy."

The config is set up to include the following modules:

  • help, get a list of included items and syntax
    • Example: GF: help
  • calculator, Google calculator
    • Example: GF: calc 2 + 2
  • dictionary, define words (private response)

  • factoids, lets users define responses (changed to require users to address the bot)

Other items of interest:

  • Due to divisions on desire for a bot, there is a voluntary ignore list to help limit SacredMinotaur's presence in the channel. If you would like to opt out of the bot recognizing you, you can sign up here. Again, this is completely voluntary, and can be undone if you change your mind.


Further modules will be added based on amount of demand and Bluesey's time and ability to create them. To suggest a function, please fill out a section of the table here.
