Only look hopeful when someone asks about themselves. #6
Description
Right now, archivebot will look up hopefully when it sees its infobot end a line with an ellipsis. This is often a false positive. The right behavior is to only do it after someone says "infobot: me" where "me" is their own nick, and the infobot replies with a line ending in an ellipsis -- and only do it once until that situation arises again.
Off the top of my head, I think the implementation looks like:
- detect an "infobot: me" line, and set a "potentially hopeful" flag to "me" (the username)
- when infobot speaks, if the flag is set, check whether the line starts with "me is" and ends with an ellipsis. if both, look hopeful.
- regardless of the result of the previous comparison, after it's tested, unset the flag
