Voting, the VC Plugin, and the VC Bot

I. How to Vote

Voting

Voting can be done by using [vote][/vote] or [v][/v] tags and naming a target between them. Shortened names usually work (ex. ā€œBananaā€ will place a vote on the user Banana123), but acronyms and misspellings do not.

To easily add tags to your post you can press the voting button in the formatting toolbar:
Voting


Unvoting

Unvote by typing [unvote][/unvote] or [uv][/uv]. Do not put anything between the tags. Leave it empty.

You can also press the unvote button in the formatting toolbar:
Unvoting

II. The VC Plugin

The VC Plugin keeps track of votes automatically, and votes as of a particular post can be viewed by clicking the gavel icon at the bottom of a post.

III. The VC Bot

The VC Bot just had its first birthday! Itā€™ll automatically post VCs periodically, but itā€™s on a timer. We may additionally post manual VCs.

The VC Bot is experimental. It or certain features may break over the course of the game. It may get things wrong. Weā€™ll manually make adjustments as necessary, and disable certain features or the bot entirely as a last resort.

Vote Links

In theory, the bot will attempt to generate a link for each vote that wasnā€™t manually entered (even if that post was made in a previous topic (hopefully)). We cannot guarantee that this feature will work all the time, or at all, and weā€™ll disable it if it ever becomes too confusing.

Differences Between the Plugin and the Bot

While the bot uses data from the plugin, the VC you see in the plugin modal may not always match what the bot posts for the VC. Specifically, the VC plugin is extremely generous regarding the names itā€™ll accept as a valid vote. When a vote is ambiguous, the VC plugin just guesses who itā€™s for in a way thatā€™s seemingly random to players. The bot is more picky.

As of the start of the game, the bot will not count votes that have less than 3 characters (ignoring spaces) unless it matches a name exactly. If the vote doesnā€™t match a playerā€™s name exactly and thereā€™s more than 1 player it can be, it does not count the vote for anyone and instead will post it as an ā€œUnrecognizedā€ vote in the VC, or delete it entirely. We recommend that the voter make the correction and disambiguate your vote, or weā€™ll try to correct it manually later on. The VC plugin is just going to guess who you were voting for in either of these scenarios, and the VC the plugin shows is going to be different than what the bot posts. The botā€™s VC should be treated as more accurate. This means that the VCbot will not handle nicknames correctly. We apologize for this.

Known Issues

  • There is a 0.4-0.5 second window between the bot checking the vote count, and posting. If you vote in this sub-second window, your vote will not count. If you vote again it will be fixed, and we will check for this occurring at the end of day.
