The Milkman

The Milkman is a bot owned by Yintel#4363 since February 4, 2021. It gave people embeds with information about a specific event or entity though a simple command in a channel.

## Bubbub Bot

*Main article: The End of Pelons*

When the bot was first created on December 25, 2020 it was called "Bubbub Bot" and was used to quote Bubbub#7528's messages in the early Pie Kingdom in random uppercase and lowercase letters, LikE tHiS. The bot was invited to The End of Pelons the same day it was made.

## Development

The Milkman was initially developed on Javascript, then migrated to BDScript on February 2, 2021. Since then all future commands have been built using that script.

It took approximately 2 days to get the bot up and running, and good enough to release to the Alushimi Public.

## "My Milk is Delicious"

The Milkman got its name and theme from the milkman character in Psychonauts, which was brought into the Alushimi spotlight by Cheese BOI#7623 on January 10, 2021 in the Pie Kingdom's server.

## In Operation

### February 2021

During this time The Milkman had a lot of mistakes that needed correcting. Granted, there was a lot of time to fix them, however Pizzabellum was underway and interest for the bot spiked, causing a rather rushed version of the bot (1.0.1) to be released just a few days after 1.0.0.

#### Pizzabellum

During the 6-day war, bot usage spiked, and the Alushimi public started to see the mistakes. As a result, another update was issued mid-war to fix those mistakes (1.0.2).

On February 8, 2021 a blacklist was coded into the bot to prevent Melon members from using it.

### March - July 2021

After a messy first month of operation, The Milkman was all set and ready for its intended purpose. Additional feature updates were issued from time to time, like 1.1.0, which added emojis wherever possible to The Milkman, in order to improve UI.

The Milkman also changed profile pictures three times during this time.

### October 2021

In October 2021 version 1.8.0 was released and the bot became operational for 7 days. It was once again shut down after lack of people using it.

### February 2022

In February 2022 version 2.0.0 was released and the bot became operational for 12 days, until it was once again shut down after a lack of people using it. The update included several information updates and another profile picture/theme change.

## How It Worked

Like all bots at the time, to run the bot you must enter a simple prefix (=) followed by the command you want to run, plus any other things you need to put. An example Milkman command would be:

```
=kingdominfo pizza

```

By typing the command above, The Milkman would give you information about the Pizza Kingdom in a Discord embed not exceeding 1000 characters.

## Updates

Milkman 1.0.0 was released February 5, 2021 and included basic commands like the `kingdominfo` and `history` commands.

Subsequent (1.0.1 - 2.0.0) updates were issued throughout the following months in order to improve performance and user experience, as well as to add new features to the bot.

Milkman 2.0.0 was released February 21, 2022 and is the final version of the Milkman.

## Transition to Fandom Wiki

On April 23, 2022 it was decided by the developer of the bot, Yintel, that it would be better if all the information on the milkman be on a Fandom Wiki instead.

Work began to transfer all data from the bot into the Wiki on April 24, 2022.
