gollark: Anyway, the most promising approach for sort of bodging a future-reminder system is either just guessing likely messages (probably won't work, people aren't that predictable if they're saying more than just "no" or "yes", though I guess any message in <#481655540976451584> is fairly likely to be said again), or trying to force people to conform to the predictions.
