Pazaak Bot Test

Thanks to a proposal submitted by our resident hat Tuq we are now moving into a testing phase for a Discord-based Pazaak bot.

The bot has been enabled in #gaming-matchmaking and in gaming party threads. To hold down on clutter in #gaming-matchmaking please create parties for playing Pazaak (remember parties need at least 3 slots). You can create a pazaak fun party with like 20 slots if you want. Also try to keep the match chatter to the parties or regular gaming chat. Have fun but keep matchmaking open for people to find groups for other games.

To use the bot type /pazaak

And then the member you want to challenge. Bear in mind that the bot will tag the person you challenge in the room where you type the command so make sure the person you challenge is actually in the party thread before you type the command.

The challenge will look something like this and you will both need to click yes

Once a match starts you will play your hand in a PM from the bot. So pay attention to your PMs. For the purposes of this test you can submit screenshots of the match results to the Casual Queue for clusters. A valid screenshot must show "person defeated person" in order to get clusters. Forfeits are not valid for casual queue.

If the test is successful then we will submit Pazaak for full support (and CFs). Because this is a new bot there may be technical issues. Please notify myself or a member of the Fist staff so we can triage and troubleshoot. Don't poke James right off the bat, he has enough to work on. The Fist staff will escalate to James if it's needed. We know the bot is a little wonky inside the party threads but it should work. That's why we test.

Closing

Have fun and remember that Gorefest is this weekend so submit your test matches for double clusters!
