The report is the main function of the game. It can be used to get the last informations about your player, since the last interaction. You can ask for a report by executing the /report command.

Interface :

The report command has 4 differents states :

• The player is travelling.

• The player has a state alteration.

• The player is doing an event.

• The player is doing a mini event.

Mini events :

The player takes circa 9 minutes and 45 seconds to travel between 2 mini events.

A mini event is mostly a short sentence. However, some can give you items, health or even money.

You can see the number of points earned with the mini events and the waiting time before the next one.

Events :

The events are the core of the game, the player just needs to react to a multiple-choice situation with the Discord reactions. Acoording to his choice, different endings can occur.

In this example above, the player has 3 different choices : the 2 reaction choices and also the possibility to add no reaction to it.

Once the player has set their mind on what to choose, he can press a reaction (or wait 2 minutes), which triggers the issue.

Destination :

After an event, the player is led to choose a destination. It is not possible for a player to go back on their steps (unless it is the only possible choice).

The time indicated in parenthesis is the travel time to reach the location, a question mark means that the time is unknown. In one-third of cases, the bot automatically chooses the player's destination.

What is the gameplay about ?

It's a real-time role-playing game, which means you won't have to loop commands but you'll have to monitor your character's progress regularly.

Advices for a quick start

Report regularly

When a player requests a report, he collects the points won by the character he controls to which is added a small bonus. After a while, the character stops collecting points, so make sure to make the deferral command regularly. However, you have to wait at least 10 min between reports to give the character some time to wait for new unexpected events. There are many other information about the technicalities of /report in the dedicated wiki page

Lexicon

During your game and if you choose to take part in the community and talk about the bot, you will bump into some vocabulary used to describe specific elements of the game. Here's a list of the main ones:

There are four types of equipment:

The state alteration defines the current user's status. Some alterations might affect some of the games' actions.

List of the different alterations

Alteration state care

Except the "Dead" state, every alteration can be cured by themselves over time.

It is still possible to get rid of an alteration without waiting, though.

Get an "Heal state alterations"

It is possible to buy it in the shop using the /shop command with 500 money, and will cancel/remove your state alteration. When this will be done, your players status will be the same as a player that just done a report.

Potions and items to make time go faster

Some objects and some potions can make the time go faster for some moment. When those are used, it is like if the time was going forward faster, but only for you.

What is DraftBot ?

DraftBot is a Discord bot developed by @BastLast that allows you to live a textual adventure.

The story takes place in a medieval world where the player controls an adventurer who must win a competition organized by the king to win the hand of the princess. To achieve his goal, he must travel, collect points and face many dangers. The game takes place in real-time, and the player is regularly prompted to request "reports" from the character they are controlling. During these reports, the character may seek advice from the player through a choice system using Discord reactions. Each choice leads the character to beneficial or detrimental consequences. Throughout his journey, the character may be injured, collect different equipment, etc.

Main features.

• Lead your little character and help him get the princess!

• No permission needed, your server is safe!

• Simple configuration: just a channel.

• Join thousands of players, fight and create your guild with your friends!

• Help us improve the bot! Completely open-source project!

Once you reach at level 8 you will unlock the ability to fight other players using the /fight command This guide will show you the basics of it.

Before starting

In a fight, the following information are to take into account at all costs :

• 🌬 The breath in stock

Fight types

Normal fight

Friendly fights

The friendly fights work the same way as the normal fights but no one is losing energy nor earning glory points at the end. To start one you can run the/fight command, with the friendly option set to true.

Progress of a fight

The fight is a turn by turn system. At every turn you will have to choose between 5 options, depending on the classes :

Infantryman: Simple attack, Piercing attack, Powerful attack, Charging attack, Protection

Tank: Simple attack, Intense attack, Shield atatck, Defense boost, Counter attack

Gunner: Quick attack, Sabotage attack, Boomerang attack, Cannon attack, Intense attack

Knight: Simple attack, Quick attack, Heavy attack, Blessing, Rest

Paladin: Simple attack, Ram attack, Ultimate attack, Shield attack, Divine attack

Veteran: Quick attack, Energetic attack, Charging attack, Piercing attack, Concentration

Mage: Poisonous attack, Fire attack, Breath-taking attack, Cursed attack, Dark attack

Attack details

The details of the various attacks can be read below:

Breath management

Almost every attack needs a certain number of breath in order to be used, as they consume this amount when it's launched successfully (even when it fails to hit the opponent). At the beginning of their turn, a fighter will see its breath stock increase by the regeneration ratio that depends on their class. The info about breath stock, regeneration and consumption can be checked using the /classesinfo command.

Victory conditions

The fight ends when a fighter's life drops to 0.

A fight can also end when both fighters both lose all their energy on the same turn or when the 24th turn has ended. These conditions will trigger a draw.

When the fight ends, you'll probably lose energy, except if the fight was friendly, but it'll be recovered over time.

Leagues establish a precise ranking of the kingdom's fighters: you'll shift between leagues as you gain or lose a certain number of glory points.

To further explain this point, here's a table with all the available leagues:

Season

A season goes on from Sunday to Saturday. During that span, players gain glory points the further they fight. Once the season's over, players who ranked on the previous season's glory top may use the command /leaguebonus on Sunday to get their season-end rewards.

Rewards

There are 4 reward types:

• XP and money, with their amount detailed on the table above,

• a random item with a rarity between the extremae given per league (see above as well),

• points to which the amount depends on the ranking: the first player gets 4000 of them, and this amount is reduced the further the position on the rankings.

How to get a pet?

You have 1% of chance of obtaining a pet in a /guilddailybonus reward. But this isn't the only way to get pets, as they can be met by getting some specific small events.

The probability of having rare pets increases with your guild's level.

You can release a pet with the !petfree command

But what if this pet was meant to be sold?

If you want to get rid of a pet, but you don't have a free heart (or if you love money), you can trade a pet in exchange of some experience for your guild. In order to sell a pet you can use the /petsell price:N command, with N between 100 and 50,000 gold.

Here, the "Elle" pet is being sold.

Here is the list of the main creators of the Redactor Gang :
