This is another idea I'm stealling for twitch Purpose: gives a fun use to tokens If this takes more than a single day of dev, then it is not worth it, imo, however it is a simple, fun way to improve community building within EMC. I would use these during events, or high activity times, such as fridays. they might prompt discussion in chat, etc... The actual idea Purchase with tokens, a server wide message /shoutout: these would be some ideas from twitch might be !hydrate (Reminds everyone to Hydrate) !posture (reminds everyone to sit with correct posture I could see this being a fun message to send, but the fun part/EMC adapted version would be the interactions possible Tuqueque: /shoutout hydrate (confirm 3k token purchase?, yes!) -> Fred Bot: Tuqueque has reminded everyone to hydrate! Don't forget to drink some water. Click [I Hydrated!] to confirm you've done so! Players could click on the I hydrated button, return/confirmation message would say simply, Fred Bot: Thanks for hydrating! Stay refreshed! After 3-5mins the results could show: Fred Bot: 11 players hydrated thanks to Tuqueque's reminder! Now that you get the gist of the idea, here is a list of possible commands posture: 3k tokens 30 minute global cooldown hydrate: 3k tokens 30 minute global cooldown [I Hydrated] poll (Yes/No) 8k tokens 20 minute global cooldown, 1 hour cooldown per player [YES] [NO] this would be the only one where the player can customize the question, so... it is more expensive vote: 500 tokens 2 hours, reminds everyone to vote for EMC [I Voted Today!] hug: 3k tokens 30 mins, player sent you a hug [I Hugged Back!] cookie: 3k token 30 mins, player sent you a cookie [Nom Nom Nomm!] Further thoughts this goes into making it a bit more complicated, but adding a leaderboard of all time hydration, etc... would be cool. see, all time score like /hscore for halloween event, but instead of candy trade, it would be these interactions. In the results message, it could also highlight, the most active empire, such as [Frog] Frogger Empire had the most Hydrates at 6 players! Complex ideas: These could award 10-20 tokens to participants (helpful for them to appear in token log, You Hydrated at 3pm blah blah blah) Hunt Frenzy command. 5k tokens. drastically increases the spawn rate for randomly selected enraged mob for the next hour. After the hour ends, it says X amount of Enraged creepers were defeated.
