Description (last modified by kzar)

Background

Sometimes it's necessary to make a decision randomly. When either option is equally valid but it's still important to make a decision.

What to change

Add a decision making "coin flip" feature to the IRC bot abpbot. When a user calls the bot's name in a public channel, giving the choice between multiple options it should respond with a random choice.

For example:

   botname: x or y?
   => asker: x

   botname: a or b or c?
   => asker: b

Although this is a kind of funny idea I think it's actually pretty useful. It gives us a fair way to quickly make random decisions within the team, which are sometimes required.

(For example as I type this both issues #3670 and #3671 are blocked by such a decision.)

Yeah, why not? Though, I'm/we're generally reluctant when it comes to adding arguably useful features, I don't mind much here, unless fhd has any objections?
