====== #luigi ======

**#luigi** (October 20, 2020) (formerly #spawn (formerly #luigi (formerly #spawn (formerly #halloween)))) is a channel for interacting with bots, primarily focused on receiving messages from bots which are not necessarily direct replies to users. Such spawning messages include those from:
  * Trick'cord Treat, where the first person to respond to a bot message with a particular string earns a treat,
  * Pokecord, for catching pokemon that spawn randomly based on the number of messages sent in the server,
  * &ref #general server messages, where announced messages from [[Channel:general]] appear.

Notable exceptions include:
  * Snowball Bot, which was set to use [[Channel:yamcha-fan-board-and-snowball]].

===== Etymology =====

The name "luigi" comes from the Hack Club emoji [[:List of Custom Emotes#luigi|:luigi:]], which is a picture of Pikachu. The motivation comes from Pokecord, which spawns pokemons including Pikachu. However, Pokecord no longer spawns pokemons in #luigi, and instead uses [[commands]].
