new command: !poll

[cubiquitous]

this issue is to discuss a possible new command !poll, the structure in the db and how it should be called.

the structure on the db should be this one:

{
 pollName: String,
 options: String[],
 votes: [{userID: String, vote: String}]
}

is quite simple. pollName is quite self-explanatory. options will have the possible vote options for that poll. In votes it'll have the userID and in votes which vote that user took. it will be necessary create a new collection. the name for that collection is very open, but polls or codding_buddies_polls are the most obvious to me.

the calling of the function is a bit more complex because it has the requirement to pass 2 info:

• poll name. ex: "cats or dogs"
• options: 1 - cats; 2 - dogs; there are many ways of doing such a thing. right now i'm thinking in something like !poll "poll name" [options], where the poll name should be sent in quotes and the options in an array separated by a , (comma). so the example above would become !poll "cats or dogs" [cats, dogs], but i'm open to suggestions

just thought now, and I think that there should be a limit of options
