BotGG 1.5.0: 20 new features for games, governance and growth

Twenty new features in one release. As before, every new feature is off until you enable it in the console, its slash commands only appear on servers that use it, and all of them work in Flows as triggers and actions.

Games and economy

• Card Drops. Design your own collectible cards in sets with five rarities. Cards drop in active chats with a Claim button (first click wins), and members collect, gift, trade and burn them for coins. A completed set pays coins and a role once. /cards · Free 30 / Pro 300 cards. Learn more
• World Boss. A server-wide raid boss with an HP bar. Members wear it down by chatting, talking in voice, finishing quests and /boss attack; phases are announced at 75, 50 and 25%. When it falls, a coin pool is shared by contribution tier, with a bonus for the final blow. /boss Learn more
• Bingo. Build sets of your own squares, start a game and every member takes a random 5×5 card. Squares are called from the console, with /bingo call, by an auto-caller or by a Flow; the bot marks every card, spots the winners and pays the reward. /bingo Learn more
• Clan Wars Map. A map of territories and a weekly war for Clans: clans earn war points from member activity, leaders declare attacks, and contested land goes to the strongest clan when the war ends. The map and results are posted every week. /clan war · Free 24 / Pro 120 territories. Learn more
• Idle Garden. Every member grows a garden: buy seeds with coins, wait for them to ripen, harvest and sell the crops. Friends can water each other's gardens for faster growth. /garden Learn more
• Scavenger Hunt. Ordered clue hunts that members solve step by step: type an answer, react in the right place or find a hidden button. Start a hunt now or schedule it. /clue Learn more
• Whodunit. A party game: everyone writes one anonymous line to a prompt, then guesses who wrote what. Correct guesses and lines nobody figured out score points, with a season leaderboard. /whodunit Learn more
• Seasonal Packs. One-click holiday events: Halloween trick-or-treat, an Advent calendar from 1 to 24 December, Secret Santa with a fair random draw and wishlists by DM, and New Year and Hanukkah items for your Shop. Each pack has its own switch and dates. /trickortreat · /advent · /santa Learn more

Community and governance

• Elections. Members elect members to a role: nominations with statements, a secret ballot (single choice or ranked choice), rules for who can vote and run, and a quorum. Winners get the role permanently or for a term. /election · Free 1 / Pro 10 running elections. Learn more
• Server Constitution. Members propose changes to your rules: a discussion thread, then a Yes / No / Abstain vote with a quorum and a threshold. Staff can review first and veto, and passed proposals are published as the next version of the rules. /constitution Learn more
• Confessions. Anonymous posts with a number and a reply thread, optional anonymous replies, a mod queue, word and link filters and cooldowns. The author's ID is never stored in clear text; your server chooses whether authorised staff can ever reveal an author, and every reveal is logged with a reason. /confess Learn more
• Family. Members marry and adopt each other, and /family tree draws the family as an image. /family Learn more
• Lore & Glossary. Your server's dictionary: terms with definitions and aliases, member suggestions that staff approve, and optional automatic answers when someone asks what a term means. /lore Learn more
• Open Mic. A fair speaker queue for stage and voice events, with timed slots. On a stage, BotGG can make the performer a speaker and move the previous one back to the audience. /openmic Learn more
• Who's Awake. Members set their time zone; anyone can see a member's local time, who is probably awake right now and the best start time for an event. /time Learn more

Staff tools

• Mod Training. Trainee moderators practise on realistic situations, with points and an explanation for every possible reaction. Passing certifies them with a role; staff see every result in the console. Eight starter scenarios come in English, Russian and Hebrew. /training Learn more
• Newcomer Journey. A first-days checklist for new members: pick roles, introduce yourself, chat, join voice, accept the rules. Finishing it gives a graduation role and coins; newcomers who get stuck are flagged for staff and in Churn Radar. /journey Learn more

Analytics

• Emoji Analytics. See which of your server's custom emojis are used, in messages and as reactions, which are never used, and which to remove when your emoji slots are full. Only daily totals per emoji are stored. /emojistats Learn more

Growth

• Server League. An opt-in weekly league between BotGG servers. Each server is scored on its own activity, consistency and growth, adjusted for its size, and the top and bottom servers of each division move up or down every week. No member data is used. /league Learn more
• Server Museum. An opt-in public page for your server on TopGuilds with member milestones, anniversaries, a timeline you write and starboard highlights you choose. Members can opt out of being shown at any time. /museum Learn more
