        // If the message text starts with !clip

            // Save the time right now
            SquisoDate now = SquisoDate.nowLocal();

            // Get the number of seconds between lastUsed and now
            SquisoInteger seconds = lastUsed.getSecondsSince(now);

            // If it is still within the 2 minute cooldown period
            if (seconds.isLessThan(120)) {
                api.log("Clip command still on cooldown: " + seconds);
                return;

            // Do this 30 seconds later (we wait 30 seconds to give Twitch time to generate an MP4 video out of the clip)
