Tabard contest on Discord

What it does

The bot announces the entries in the channel picked, posts a message per entry with the Vote button, keeps a message with how many have voted and, at the end, says the podium and the winner. /tabard status, my-vote and code are for everyone; extend, remove and close, for whoever manages the server.

Who sees it

Whoever reads the channel sees the contest. Voting belongs to whoever has a character confirmed on the guild's roster and, if the contest has one, the minimum rank. Whoever organises on Discord is whoever has Manage Server.

Where to find it

In the channel picked in the contest, on the site. The commands, typed in any channel of the server.

How it should behave

• The vote is only through the Vote button. The reply is seen only by you: the vote recorded, how many you still have and Undo.
• Already voted for this entry: the reply offers Take my vote back. With one vote per member and already used, it offers Move my vote.
• Nobody votes for their own entry, and each person counts once, with all their characters.
• Who can vote is read at the moment of the click, against the roster of that moment.
• Each entry shows the image, the number and the idea. The author only shows during the vote if authorship is not anonymous.
• The status message says how many have voted. The score only shows with Live score on Discord on.
• A reminder goes out 24 hours before the end of the entries and of the vote, if the phase lasts more than 25 hours.
• At the end, the buttons leave, the authors show and the bot says the podium and the winner. Cancelled during the vote, nobody is revealed and there is no podium.
• An entry removed during the vote has its message deleted. Restored, it is posted again.
• /tabard speaks of this server's contest: the one running, otherwise the most recent that started and was not cancelled. With two running, from different games, the game option says which.
• /tabard extend pushes the end of the phase and the dates after it, by 1 to 168 hours, so the vote does not shrink.
• /tabard close only moves when everyone who can vote has voted. The result goes out in the channel in the next minute.
• /tabard code shows the image of a valid code, to talk about ideas, and refuses an invalid one.
• The channel's messages go out in the server's language and ping nobody. The replies only you see come in your Discord's language.

This is not a bug

• The contest went into review and the channel said nothing: it only speaks again when the vote opens.
• Nobody finds out who you voted for, not even the organisers: only the totals, and your vote for you, in /tabard my-vote.
• A one-day phase has no reminder: it would go out together with the opening.
