 * 1) A script you run yourself that automatically sends a greet/lament when the other user joins/parts.
 * 2) A script that is run by everyone that displays a message, but doesn't send a message to the server.
 * 3) A script that is only run by the other user, that displays a message to them, but doesn't send a message to the server. (So other users would not see it.)

Your solutions of user-run scripts are not very efficient: solution 1 is impossible, as that one user can't be always present whenever Hunter Perry enters the chat. Solution 2 may increase the chance that any other user who runs the script is present whenever Hunter Perry enters the chat, but may not guarantee it. Solution 3 takes away the "joke" effect that Balmz wants, because it's only seen by one user.

The best way to achieve what Balmz wants is to run the script in a MediaWiki page of the wiki, making it independent of any user's presence. But Balmz has to ask an admin of the wiki to place the script there, as non-admins don't have the permission to do that.
