thinko on my part, this was making the regex for matching all nicks to
'|nick' when the field is '', because of split producing ['']. in
particular this was making markov trigger on every line
this is necessary for supporting multiple irc servers in one bot config.
this also has the side effect of requiring some code in ircbot and
markov which autocreates channels to also include the server (retrieved
via the connection). this will again help keep channels coherent for
multi-server arrangements
the twitter bot change here is untested but seems like the right idea (I
haven't used the twitter package in forever)
this is the first step in trying to get the bot to support multiple
servers with different channels, countdown triggers, and so on
this also ends up affecting some configuration around:
* dispatch
* markov
* admin privmsg form
