You say "var %whom" which doesn't mean anything. Is %whom supposed to be set when you type something in a channel? like example:

RyuFive: Did Nillen talk to Budo today?

Should this match Nillen (1 time(s)) and Budo (1 time(s))?
Assuming that both Nillen and Budo are written in the list.txt


Nillens @ irc.twitch.tv
Nillen @ irc.rizon.net
