Discord Bot/Games/Rewards for Increased Activity

nice idea. i like it

 

Support

The way people use the internet has changed, and this has a noticeable effect on engagement.

It may be a good time to focus on discord rather than the main site, as engagement here is almost non existent, other than being a sales funnel or archive of information.

CDT could even be involved and sponsors could sponsor the games/events, as discord would likely attract more participants. Many of the CDT events onsite don't even get noticed by the majority of the community as it requires actively visiting the website and navigating the sections as opposed to receiving a notification on discord.

 

One game y'all could add is Black Tea. I used to play it in Adin Ross's Discord whenever the mods would start a round, and it was always one of the most active games.

Basically, the bot posts a message and anyone who wants to play just reacts to join. After a minute or so, signups close and everyone who reacted gets put into a random queue. The bot then starts with the first player by tagging them and giving them a random set of three letters (for example: "ATL" or "RIN" correct examples would be Atlanta or for RIN, Ring would work). That player has to quickly type a valid English word that contains those three letters in the correct order. If they answer correctly before the timer runs out, they survive and the bot moves on to the next person. If they can't think of a word in time, or they submit an invalid one, they're eliminated.

The game keeps cycling through the remaining players, usually with the timer getting shorter as the rounds go on, until there's only one person left standing. That person wins.

It's a really simple game, but it's surprisingly addictive and gets a lot of people involved
