    Lightwell Addon: Need help finding lines!

    Ok so my friend just introduced me to a great addon called Lightwell Buddy. For those who don't know, it makes you say lines every time any of the following events happen:

    Lightwell is summoned
    Lightwell is used
    Lightwell is wasted (You can consider what wasting is via a slider bar)
    Lightwell is empty
    Lightwell expires
    Lightwell disappears early

    Basically, I'm looking for lines that are humorous to add to this whenever someone uses the Lightwell, but I'm having trouble coming up with some. Anyone mind pitching me a few lines? =) (Keep in mind any used may also be in the PoV as if the Lightwell was speaking the lines to people)

    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    Lightwell is summoned
    No, it's not like the one in ToC. But here's your lolwell.

    Lightwell is used
    I bet whoever just used my lightwell is a clicker. Literally.

    Lightwell is wasted (You can consider what wasting is via a slider bar)
    You mother fucker.

    Lightwell is empty
    I can't believe my eyes. The lightwell is actually...gone.

    Lightwell expires
    (don't see how this is diff than above)

    Lightwell disappears early
    Anddddd right about now I'm wishing I had a Disc Barrier.

    It's hard to say no to Yoo-Hoo chocolate drinks...the name literally beckons.

    Haha all awesome xD (PS: Each category can hold up to like 50 lines )

    Also, Empty = all 10 (15 glyphed) charges were used, while Expires = 3m (the same time as the cooldown) has passed and not all charges were used.

    While funny, in a practical setting the spam would get old fast.

    Well having only one line per category definitely would! That's why you add a bunch to mix it up =)

    Also, you can lower the amount of spam it does via slider bars. (Like you can make it so there's a 72% chance it'll say a line when someone uses it, or a 16% chance when you summon it). You can set a different value for each category too.

    An addon that actually works and is relatively sensible? amazing.

    Hi there! I'm actually one of the developers of the addon. I have a thread on the official forums where im getting people to collect their ideas for lines. Most are for "use" events.

    [edit: Since I can't post links yet, Mikayo has kindly provided the link to this thread on the next post]

    My favorite idea so far was a lightwell fortune telling machine. It's cute, and there's all sorts of fun ideas for fortunes you could come up with. There's also no practical limit on messages, so you can go well above 50 if you want.

    And yes, spam can easily become a problem. I tried to add features to help with that, like the reduced chance to send a message, and the option to send to channels like "whisper" and "emote". It also helps to use shorter messages, a variety if messages, and messages that use practical information like the user's name an charges used. You will have to cater the addon to the needs and temporment of your group, but in general it does a good job softly reminding and rewarding people for clicking without sounding naggy ( unless you make it sound naggy)
