Important Update for Everyone

Hey there all!

First, I want to apologize for the delay in deploying the new bot as well as the missing @Seasoned Hunter stats, but do not worry; none of them is forgotten.

Seasoned Hunter Rotation Status

• The @Seasoned Hunter rotation will start going its usual way with the end of this month's hunting cycle (next Friday).
• I will also present and calculate the stats for the other two months accordingly.

New Bot Development

As far as the new bot goes:

• Most groundwork is done.
• There are still lots of things I need to implement correctly.
