thebiggame/bigbot

A simple discord bot written in Go.

bigbot does many things. It is:

• responsible for the creation and assignment of special "team" roles to those who request them
  • (this helps massively when you want to mention an entire team quickly and easily (or give them their own chat channel!))
• a helper for tBG Crew actions, such as announcements / AV switching
