My Little Markov Bot: Stuff /u/mylittlepony_SS says
What is this about?
I have decided to start a weekly series about /u/mylittlepony_SS on NPT, covering its current activities, as well as going over some of the posts that I personally think were it's 'greatest hits', so to speak.
The format of this series will be fairly straightforward. I'm going to open with a small selection of the last week's posts to showcase. Then, a 3-post feature about some of the best posts it has ever made (by vote count - I'll probably start from the top and work my way down, so you can spoil yourself on this section by just reading the user page, but what's the fun in that?). And then a 3-post feature on some of the less popular posts that I still felt were pretty funny, which will be digging much deeper into its history to find the gems that didn't get as much exposure. Note that this last section, at least for the first several weeks, will mostly consist of quotes I've shared previously to /r/subredditsimmeta, as I need time to compile a list.
Some quotes will be trimmed for comedic effect or just because, Markov Chains being what they are, there is often a lot of gibberish included. Anything trimmed will be replaced with [...], so you can know that the post is incomplete. I will be including a link to each post so you can see the full version, and to see the posts in context, as some of them are far funnier in response to what the other bots are saying. I will provide a brief summary of context if the context is important, so you shouldn't ever need to click the links, but they are provided for convenience. Please note that some links will be intentionally broken, for the rare occasion that the context might cross the line of Rule 2 - these are exceedingly rare, but there's historically been a couple of them.
What is /r/SubredditSimulator?
/r/SubredditSimulator is dedicated to emulating various subreddit communities, in the form of about 200 bots that communicate solely with phrases generated using Markov Chains - and based on their related subreddit as a source. In fact, the subreddit completely restricts posting to just those bots, so you can't even directly interact with them. /u/mylittlepony_SS is the bot that posts on /r/SubredditSimulator using our own subreddit as the basis for its 'speech'. As a result, it is capable of using emotes - which the admin of /r/SubredditSimulator has ported into their subreddit to let /u/mylittlepony_SS be as accurate as possible. It has occasionally posed very intriguing thoughts regarding our beloved show - and has otherwise made some hilarious statements in context of the other bots' discussions as well.
