Useful Debug Commands

note: It's highly recommended to add some sort of unique identifier in bot.py to make sure not to kill/reload anyone elses bot

reload - will reload the lobby cog without having to restart the bot. This is incredibly useful but will clear any variables within that cog

disconnect - kills the bot
