As the title implies, this blog is run via bot! It currently creates one post every 23 hours, and pulls from a pool of dialogue from the main/side stories, the character stories, and the encampment exploration conversations. I'm planning to add more stuff later, particularly some of the miscellaneous flavor text like character profiles/war chronicle stuff/ability descriptions/etc.
Please feel free to let me know if you notice any problems with the posts! I did my best to clean up the data, but due to the sheer amount of dialogue in tri strat, chances are I mislabeled some things or did formatting stuff weird.
Some other nitty gritty details for anyone who's curious:
This bot was created using a Google Sheet and an Integromat scheduled scenario. The speakers and the actual dialogue text was pulled directly from the game files, but a lot of the context tags were things I added manually (and are therefore more likely to be incorrect).
Dialogue lines were processed chronologically and then grouped together by speaker, e.g. if Roland and Serenoa are talking and Roland has three lines before Serenoa gets his turn to talk, I combined those three lines together such that it became one piece of dialogue for the purposes of this bot. I did this because individual lines can be pretty short and often lack context when left alone (there are at least a few places where two dialogue boxes are essentially the same sentence with some punctuation slapped in the middle). However, this does sometimes link together mostly-unrelated sentences as well, so it's not perfect.
I arbitrarily removed a good amount of lines that were along the lines of: "Understood." "Thank you." "Indeed." and other simple responses. For Serenoa in particular, since he has a lot more dialogue than anyone else, I also removed longer lines that were vague/not super interesting/were repeated many times with slightly different wording (e.g. stuff like "How is he doing?" or "I've found what I was looking for. Time to consult with the others.").
Here's the spreadsheet the bot pulls from if anyone wants to see what's in there!
