Hello! I'm Lens, a bot to help with the game of Contact.
I will try to keep track of the game state and keep the game moving. If you're on my whitelist, you can use the following commands to communicate with me (some are mod-only):

 !clues                      - list all active clues
 !contacts [<clueNum>]       - list contacts for a specific clue or all clues
 !unpass                     - undo a "pass" if you made a mistake
 !kill                       - remove a clue from the list of active clues. This will kill anyone's clue, not just your own.
 !gameover                   - ends a game, resetting my data
 !uncontact <clueNum>        - remove all contacts for clue <clueNum>
 !shutup [<minutes>]         - silence me completely for the specified amount of time (defaults to 10 min)
