# Zak Bagans Reddit Bot



![Zak Bagans](zak.jpg)



*There are things in this world we will never fully understand... understand*



## Welcome



This is a Reddit bot for [r/GhostAdventures](https://www.reddit.com/r/GhostAdventures/) which replies to posts and

comments that mention various Zak-related keywords with random quotes.



Credits go to [u/shiverstar](https://www.reddit.com/user/shiverstar/) for the amazing idea! It was discussed in

[this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GhostAdventures/comments/mguuyi/we_need_a_zakbot/).



## How It Works



Every 15 minutes, the bot checks for new posts and comments on

[r/GhostAdventures](https://www.reddit.com/r/GhostAdventures/). The content of each post/comment is checked for various

keywords, and a reply may be sent if the keywords match. **Keywords are checked in this order**:



1. `zozo` - 25% chance to send a random

   [Z̶̞̼̔̍o̶̮͇̕z̷̜͓̅̽ỡ̵̗ ̶̹͚̔̔p̵̂͜ḣ̷͓̜̏r̷͙͘̕ȃ̴̰̞s̵̹̗̈́̔e̴͚̻̒͊](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#zozo).

2. `mercury` - 25% chance to send a random [mercury phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#mercury).

3. `situation` - 20% chance to send a random [situation phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#situation).

4. `I feel` or `I'm feeling` - 25% chance to send a random

   [feeling phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#feeling).

5. `3` or `three` - 10% chance to send a random [trinity phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#trinity).

6. `Aaron` - 10% chance to send a random [Aaron phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#aaron).

7. `understand` - 20% chance to send a random [understand phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#understand).

8. `we want answers` - 25% chance to send a random [answers phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#answers).

9. `Zak` or `Bagans` - 20% chance send a random [generic phrase](https://zak-bagans-bot.herokuapp.com#generic).



Each post/comment will only receive, at most, one reply from the bot. If the bot sends a reply for one of the keywords,

it will not check for any of the others.



All keywords have a chance to send a reply. If the chance prevents a reply from being sent, the next keyword in the list

will be checked instead. For example, if a comment mentions "situation", there's a 50% chance to reply with a "situation

phrase", and a 50% chance to skip to the next keyword in the list.



## Opting Out



If you find the bot annoying, you can reply to one of its comments with `bad bot`. This will make the bot ignore all of

your future posts and comments.
