Unofficial MWO Events skill @ Amazon

I threw together an Alexa skill for MWO. It isn't much, but somebody may find it useful to toy around with.

Right now it is tracking event data at a big-picture level. The skill can tell you:

* what events are active
* for a specific event (by number), tell you start/end times
* ... and the event description

It is not (yet?) capable of telling you the objectives & rewards for an event, although I may add that.

Enjoy!

I don't know what it does, but if this makes you go, "Alexa, what MWO events are on right now?" and it replies "Bonus Faction Play Event, ending 10th January 2018 00:00 UTC" then omgwtf bravo well done!

Sorry tangent, but in Mr Robot, the lonely FBI lady only has Alexa to talk to. It's sad. I hope you're not like that.

Probably worse. A virtual family is when real problems start.
