Frequently Asked Questions

Or questions we though were going to be asked so we just answered them in advance.

Q: What do you use to code Ralsei?
I use Node.js, a scripting language based on JavaScript which has proven itself time and time again to be an extremely fast and effective language.
Q: Why do you care so much for latency or restart times?
I want to keep the bot as fast as possible so that users won't be waiting on the bot to respond. 20 ms still means it takes 0.02s to reach the user. I want that to be as low as possible.
Q: Why do you refer to yourself as "we" on posts?
I don't want to grab all the credit for the bot because I didn't make it myself. I had lots of people on forum sites that provided code and tutorials, and I had all of you who made great suggestions.
Q: WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDATE YOU SAID NEXT WEEK ITS BEEN THREE WEEKS CHLOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, CALM DOWN! Update notices are posted on the Ralsei Bot Official Twitter Account. Same with announcements. You can also tag it in case you have bot issues.
Q: Did you just sell out the Twitter account for the bot?
No, I just happen to be most active on Twitter, so it's the best place to contact me.
Q: Will you eventually kill off Ralsei (the bot)?
When DELTARUNE isn't a big thing anymore, and I have no place to put the bot in, I can hand over the bot to a developer or if I don't have other developers with me, then I'll have to shut the bot down. But that won't happen in the near future.
Q: Are you affiliated with <other bot name>?
No, the Ralsei bot is not affiliated with any other bot.
Q: Do you rip off of other bots or not?
No, I do not. I try to keep ideas as original as possible which is why I ask for user feedback whenever I'm developing Ralsei's features. Whatever might look like a rip-off may just be a coincidence.
Q: FAKE! YOU COPIED <BOT NAME>!
I didn't. It's either a coincidence, or I just happened to come first.
Q: How can I support the bot?
You can share the bot around to your friends, and put him on different servers. He's completely free, so you won't have to worry about paying anything. You can also give us an upvote on our Discord Bot List entry.
Q: How can I support the developer?
I didn't make Ralsei to get money. That said, you can help pay for server and operating costs by supporting me on Patreon. It's okay if you don't give anything — the bot is free to use and always will be.
Q: How can I see how the bot is doing?
You can view the main page to see the bot's current status.
Q: THE BOT IS OFFLINE OH MY GOSH WHAT DO I DO?
OH MY GOSH OH NO THIS IS BAD QUICK PING ME ON DISCORD @chlod#9493 OR SCREAM IT IN THE SUPPORT SERVER
Q: Internet hug?
