Games & Scores
/potion, /foodfight, /doom and /rescue are games. Every play has an outcome, every outcome moves points, and everyone can see who's winning with /scoreboard and /leaderboard.
Each game that hurts has one that helps:
| Game | Hurts | Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Potions | /potion give a harmful potion | /potion give a helpful potion |
| Food Fight | /foodfight throw | /foodfight feed |
| Doom | /doom fate | /rescue attempt, which also shields them from the next doom |
How each command plays is described in Social Commands.
Points
Each play posts its line with the points underneath:
🥧 @Sam winds up like a Three Stooges short and plants a cream pie square on @Alex. Nyuk nyuk nyuk. -# 🎯 Hit! Sam +3 (42 pts · 🔥 3 in a row) · Alex −1
| Game | Outcome | You | Them |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food fight: throw | 🎯 Hit | +3 | −1 |
| 💨 Miss | −1 | +1 | |
| 🔄 Backfire | −2 | +2 | |
| Food fight: feed | 😋 Tasty | +1 | +2 |
| 🤢 Gross | −1 | −1 | |

| Doom | 💀 Doomed | +3 | −1 |
| 🏃 Escaped | −1 | +2 | |
| 🔄 Backfired | −2 | +1 | |
| 🛡️ Blocked | 0 | 0 | |
| Rescue | 🛟 Rescued | +1 | +2, and a shield |
| 🪤 Caught | −1 | −1 | |
| 🕯️ Sacrificed | −2 | +3, and a shield | |
| Potion | 💚 Helpful, worked | +1 | +2 |
| ☠️ Harmful, worked | +2 | −2 | |
| 🔄 Backfired | −2 | +1 |
- "Them" is only scored when it's a member. Aim at a role, @everyone or yourself and only your own points move.
- Streaks: good outcomes in a row (a hit, a doom, a tasty meal, a rescue, a potion that worked) build a 🔥 streak; a bad one ends it. Your best streak is on your scoreboard.
- Points are kept for this month, this year and all time (UTC), so a new month gives everyone a fresh start without losing the all-time record.
Shields
A rescue that works (rescued or sacrificed) shields the member you saved for an hour. The next /doom aimed at them is blocked: nobody scores, and the shield is used up. You can't rescue yourself, and rescuing a role or @everyone shields nobody. You can still doom yourself through your own shield, if you really want to.
Scoreboard
/scoreboard user:[member] game:[game] period:[period] private:[true/false]Your points, or anyone's: their name and avatar, total and rank on the server, and for each game their points, rank, plays, what they did (🎯 hits, 💀 dooms…), what they received, and their best streak. An active shield shows too.
user: whose scoreboard (default: yours)game: one game, or all of them (default)period: this month, this year, or all time (default)private:true: only you see it. Otherwise it's posted in the channel.
Games turned off on the server are left out.
Leaderboard
/leaderboard game:[game] period:[period] private:[true/false]The top 10 players, each with a small avatar, their points and plays. Underneath the heading: who received the most of everything (🎯 most splatted, 💀 most doomed, 🛟 most rescued, ☠️ most poisoned, 💚 most healed, 🍽️ best fed) and the best streak.
/leaderboard period:month
/leaderboard game:doom period:yearLimits
So the games stay fun and can't be farmed:
- Cooldown: each game once every 20 seconds per person. Switching games is fine: throw some food, then give a potion straight away.
- Per minute: 6 plays a minute per person, across all the games.
- Daily scoring cap: the first 20 plays of each game each day (UTC) score points. After that you can keep playing, just for fun.
A play that's refused for a limit is answered privately and doesn't count. The bot's general rate limit doesn't apply to the games, since they have their own; a per-command rate limit set for one of them still does.

Where games can be played

/eggshen-config-games channels mode:except add:#announcements
/eggshen-config-games channels remove:#games
/eggshen-config-games channels mode:all- Every channel (default)
- Only listed channels: the games work just in the channels you list
- All except listed channels: keep them out of, say, #announcements
A thread counts as its channel. Someone playing in the wrong place is told privately where the games are played. /scoreboard and /leaderboard work anywhere.
Turning a game off
/eggshen-config commands toggle setting:rescue enabled:falseEach game has its own switch (potion, foodfight, doom, rescue) beside every other command's. A game turned off disappears from /eggshen-help, /scoreboard and /leaderboard.
Resetting scores
/eggshen-config-games reset-scores confirm:yes
/eggshen-config-games reset-scores confirm:yes game:doom
/eggshen-config-games reset-scores confirm:yes user:@SamErases scores for good: everyone's, one game's, one person's, or one person's game. Resetting everything also clears shields.
