+New process:
+* Open the state.yaml file and read it the yaml to a list of dictionaries
+* Go and get a list of all the events
+* Loop through the new events list
+* If the event is in the exclude file list, then dont process this event anymore, else continue
+* If the event is NOT in the previous state dictionary list 
+  * then send a notification to slack
+  * add it into the new state list dictionary
+* If the event is in the previous state dictionary list
+  * add it into the new state list dictionary
+* Output the new state list dictionary to the state.yaml file

+What this should do based on how events shows up and leaves:
+* 7:00pm battle bot comes up
+* alert goes to slack
+* 7:05pm battle bots does not alert again
+* 7:10pm battle bots is removed 
+* 7:15pm battle bots shows up again
+* alert goes to slack
+
+This means that it will only alert on new events that freshly comes up.
