CDC Bot’s word game is a channel-wide mini-game where the entire chat must type a specific word in sequence. Any server member can start a game manually using a slash command, and it ends once enough consecutive unique participants have said the target word.

How a word game works

1

Game starts

CDC Bot announces the target word and how many times it must be said: a wild balls has appeared! the next N messages must be balls.
2

Players respond

Each player types the target word exactly. The bot counts valid responses. Rules:
  • Messages that don’t match the target word are deleted
  • The same person cannot contribute two consecutive valid messages — their duplicate is deleted
  • Bot messages are ignored
3

Game ends

Once enough unique consecutive responses are collected, the bot announces: good job! you're all very balls, the balls left.
Matching is case-insensitive. BALLS, Balls, and balls all count.

Starting a word game

Anyone can start a word game manually using:
/manual_wordgame_trigger [word]
The word parameter is optional. If omitted, the bot picks a default word.
Word games must be enabled for the server. If they are disabled, the command returns an ephemeral error message. Server admins can enable them via /server_configEnable Wordgames.
