New Mehdown Slash Command: /coinflip

@Barney @lichme

Hopefully either cherry or yew.

@narfcake

Ideally, it should be this -

Heads - Blame the goat.
Tails - Don’t not blame the goat.

(The coin is related to the ‘heads I win, tails you lose’ coin.)

@PlacidPenguin Ideally, sure. This is the /8ball we’re talking about, however.

/8ball Is the 8ball confused?
It is certain
/8ball Should we take advantage of the confusion by shaking (refreshing) the living (computing) shit out of it for a different outcome?
Yes

@PlacidPenguin but is that really your thumb?

@RiotDemon

As opposed to a different body part?

@PlacidPenguin as opposed to someone else’s thumb.

@RiotDemon

Ah.

And yep, it’s really my thumb.

Well… One of two really.

@PlacidPenguin good thing you clarified. Thought maybe you had three.

@RiotDemon

Nah. The one in the jar on my desk belongs to someone else.

Well, technically I guess it belongs to me now.

@PlacidPenguin
/image thumbs in a jar

Damnit.

@RiotDemon

Woohoo!

JarJar!!!

@PlacidPenguin
If i knew you were ok answering, I would ask: are you left-handed?

@f00l

@lichme

Why do I feel like you’re going to wanna have a game of D&D here?

Honestly not sure why else there would be a need for a diceroll command.

@PlacidPenguin No idea what you’re talking about

@PlacidPenguin I thought the plan was to bring a piece of cardboard and shoot craps in the janky alley with @studerc on twofer Tuesday.

@lichme

Plenty of game use dice.

However, Dungeons & Dragons would honestly be more exciting.

@djslack @studerc

Pass. That would involve going “outside”.

@PlacidPenguin Haha, I know, I’m messing with you.

@Cerridwyn I think you wanted to use the /cowflip side command. But you are confusing (conflating?) the /cowsay and the /coinflip commands. As yet there are no /cowflip nor /coinsay commands.

@sligett lol, no, was trying to make the coin land on it’s side, you know, like magic. I knew it wouldn’t work

I blame @mikibell for the coin, so I’m wearing one on top of the other.

This is what happens when you fail spelling class

@somf69

/8ball Will meh now pay me $1M in legal tender?
It is decidedly so

@Kidsandliz

Just pay $95K in processing fees, and I’ll help you get started on retrieving your winnings.

@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin

@PlacidPenguin These are not “winnings”, this is a “payment” - although it is plausible that the greater Dallas area may have re-located to Nigeria. I vaguely remember that Nigerian princess thread from a while back : )

EDIT - here it is:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/perplexed-by-people-making-assumptions

@narfcake Ahhh but could he use that bill to pay his bail?

@Kidsandliz

I believe you’re referring to this thread.

@narfcake

At least that wasn’t anything like the stories where someone tried using a $2 bill for something and ended up having the police called on them.

@DrunkCat

/roll 2d20
You rolled [14] [2] for a total of 16

@lichme
/roll 6d10

@lichme
/giphy you lied

@DrunkCat It appears as though I did

@nigglez THIS. Don’t know how you chain slash commands but /buy /coinflip heads|tails would be great.

Also, enforce a ban on the purchase if you lose the coinflip.

@nigglez @djslack

@lichme had a thing for heads|tails (despite no wood being involved), but @shawn decided against it, probably due to the lack of wood.

See:
https://github.com/mediocre/mehdown/pull/56#issuecomment-287170576
as well as the ensuing discussion.

@djslack totally want to be able to pipe slash commands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)

@PlacidPenguin That was actually just a message that was auto displayed after using /coinflip without specifying heads or tails to let the user know it was an option. That part of it got removed. The heads|tails still exists, but it’s now more appropriately labeled heads or tails in the docs.

@lichme

Ah ok.

@ELUNO We can help you relive that next month.

@narfcake Never!
