A basic discord bot for Dota 2 pickup games

This is a very lightweight bot for organising pickup games on Discord. It has no tracking and no matchmaking. It simply maintains a queue of players who wish to play and prints out two randomised 5 person teams when 10 people are signed in.

If you just want to add this bot to your Discord

You can add the public version of this bot to your server using this link:

• https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=353106318812381185&scope=bot&permissions=3072

To run your own, on your own server or for development

• Get your bot a discord token by adding a new app at https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me and creating your app a bot user
• Add your bot to your guild by constructing a link from this https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#adding-bots-to-guilds - The permissions you will need are 3072, so your link will take the form https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[your bot id from the link above]&scope=bot&permissions=3072
• Install python 3.5
• pip install . - if you intend to edit the code, use pip install -e .
• Put your bot's token into config.json (see config.json.example)
• Run discord-gather
• Type !help in any Discord channel that the bot resides in for more information.

Or if you're a Docker kind of person

https://hub.docker.com/r/veryhappythings/discord-gather/ - Stick DG_TOKEN on your environment and off it goes. Very much a WIP, contributions welcome!
