also, I have said this before. BUT. Even more true now.
You need a bot in the chat. Something that sits there and spews random crap that it learns from other people.
There's a bot in #suomiscene named Rotor. (not our Rotor. He's not a bot.) Rotor has been around for 5 years and says the most incredibly hilarious things. (Apparently. I don't know yet (: ) But they have had 'rotor compos' at two Finnish parties - one where you had to read the Rotor quote without laughing (most failed) and one where you had to guess the correct answer. People were laughing so hard they were crying.
Anyway, point is - the people on the chat that I see in there are just ripe for having their minds played with. They're coming in, whining about things, saying things suck, and their brains aren't engaged.
as you can see it doesn't even have authentication yet :) , but the basic null terminated text packeting system will remain as it is since its the best way of talking to flash, so you could knock up a simple client.

Also, see 'eliza' bots and aim and things.

Right now I'm learning Python. Does it REQUIRE Lua? Or can it be any external language?
Cuz, I could prolly do it in Python at work and it would be a good test.

Unfortunately, for rapid development cross-team (which we really need right now at work) Python is better suited.
Also, because of things like unicode, there will be easier things going on with python. But mostly because I have to do this Python bit for work.
