Bot

A bot is short for "robot" and is used to describe an automated, coded program.

In most cases on this website, "bot" will refer to a nickname on IRC that isn't a person, but just a bot, coded to respond to requests in channels and execute specific tasks and duties.

Pritchard was a bot that served as the bartender in Broken Dagger. He had the ability to serve drinks to players that used predetermined codes. If a person typed one of these codes in-channel, it would trigger a response from the bot.
