how smart of me, i left the dumbest bug possible.
i cleaned up the variable names and forgot to update all instances of them, thus breaking the entire code.
fixed, finally.
i have released the source code for @9999bot
it’s really clunky and not very good, but i have a feeling that some people might use it to make better bots.
