Die-Bot Idea
Do you think we should officiate the die-bot system, yes or no?
What is the die-bot?
Die-bot is a Discord bot that is- in a nutshell- a virtual die. You can roll different sided dice, add or remove from rolls, and name the rolls. It is a simple, yet fascinating bot to use. It has been used by several members for a few years now but has never been an official thing in this group.
Why does this poll exist?
Staff are interested to see if members of the group would be interested in making some parts of the diet-bot mandatory. Again, only some parts of the bot would be made mandatory as staff do not want to take away too much freedom from members. Die-bot adds a strict policy of fairness that is not influenced by people's judgement as it is a bot. It also incorporates a sense of unexpectedness that can shake things up to keep it interesting.
Roll Boosts
A member can have a maximum of +6 to their rolls.
Roll boosts are boosts given to certain characters based on their rank, tier, or completion of their rank’s Master Rank Challenge.
Boosts are added onto rolls to help sway the decision of the roll either for or against the roleplayer. The rank roll boosts in particular support active members who participate in activities such as roleplay sessions related to rank duties and gives them a well deserved advantage when rolling. Using the die bot with this system also allows for challenges to be sorted out fairly. You cannot argue against numbers. It only makes sense that someone who is higher rank has better skills- thus better roll boosts- but still leaves the chance for someone to win a challenge (especially if that challenger has reached Tier I or Chief and Master Rank Challenges).
These boosts will only apply to a certain rank area for Division III and Division II. Tier V-I Medic/Hunter/Warrior/Scout gets a +1 added to any outcome of their specified rank area. Chiefs get a +2 added to any outcome of their specified rank area. Division I characters (e.g. Alpha, Beta, and Delta get +3 to any roll regardless of rank area.
An additional optional bonus to rolls can be achieved by participating in the Master Rank Challenge. Every 10 completed tasks, there is a +1 to any roll made related to that specific rank. There would be a maximum of +3 for each rank category. It would require members to post with evidence (e.g. screenshots).
Example: Spar
Vanessa a Tier IV Hunter is is currently sparring Kodn a Chief Warrior. Vanessa is a Hunter and does not have a Master Rank Challenge boost because she has not completed it for the Warrior rank area, so her total boost is 0. Kodn is a Chief Warrior with no Master Rank Challenge boost, therefore his roll boost is a +2.
What parts do staff want to make mandatory? *subject to change*
Staff would like to make it mandatory to use this bot during challenges. In addition, make it mandatory for special roleplay events (i.e. tournaments) and make it mandatory for Master Rank Challenge. There are other potential areas of mandatory use, but for now these would be what would change if majority said yes to this idea.
