[Feature Request] Spooky Nickname Changer

See original GitHub issue

Create a new feature for the bot called halloweenify. This is a version of our hiphopify feature, except it works a bit differently.

  • Instead of being a moderation tool, the command can only be invoked upon yourself.
  • When invoked, it randomly changes your own name to a scary spooky halloween name, and delivers a hiphopify-esque embed with a picture.
  • The nickname change is not enforced in any way, and there is no halloweenify-prison.

If you’re not sure what hiphopify is, here is an example of how the embed looks: image

  • Scrape some spooky names from the web, along with accompanying pictures.
  • Store these in a JSON file (or a similar data format)
  • Implement a !halloweenify command that changes the invokers name to one of these names.
  • Build and deliver an embed like the one shown above with a picture of the character whose name you’ve adopted.

That linked list looks like a good start, but maybe filter out those pictures that look like normal, boring people. Depending on their role and whether one actually knows them, the user might be a bit disappointed. Alternative idea, take the whole list, any maybe expand the task by allowing people to rate the halloweenify they get by clicking a pre-made reaction from e.g. 1-5. You can store that and make highly rated monsters more likely to appear.

Regarding the place to store data (JSON, pictures, …), I’d use the same structure we use in our main Python bot and create a new folder /bot/resources/halloweenify or so, like in https://gitlab.com/python-discord/projects/bot/tree/master/bot/resources
