Ideas :

1. Poll my BGG plays and post update after a new play logged.
2. Aggregate and store leaderboard
3. Query support for leaderboard. Stats, etc.
4. Fetch game details from BGG. Rank, summary, etc.

Taskboard Done :

1. Structure the app
2. Implement hi
3. Bug: post to correct channel
4. Implement game lookup
5. Geeksearch
6. Implement fetch command
7. Implement die roll

TODO:
