Fixing a round
Naming a winner
Section titled “Naming a winner”Nani Pix’s matching is strict, so sometimes a right answer doesn’t count. There are two fixes:
- While the round is running, its creator can use
/correct @usernamein the game topic, or just/correctto pick from a menu of the round’s guessers. This doesn’t work on HARD MODE rounds, which nobody hosts. - After the round ended unsolved, or while a HARD MODE vote is open, an admin
can send
/setwinner <game id> @usernameto Nani Pix, or/setwinner <game id>alone to pick from a menu of that game’s guessers. The game id is the 🎲 number on every post about the round, and in/history. You can type it with or without the#, so/setwinner #142 @kenjiworks too, and the@before the name is optional.
/setwinner turns the round into a normal win: the winner gets the usual reward
for the stage the round ended at, plus a bonus for the wait (disputed_win_bonus,
30 💠 by default, see Game settings),
and Nani Pix announces it in the game topic.
🛠 An admin reviewed game #142: @kenji was right after all — it was Whisper of the Heart.
💠 +15 for @kenji
🤝 @kenji gets +30 💠 for the wait.
🌟 @kenji: +1 point
• this week — 5 🌟, 3rd place (⬆1)
• this month — 12 🌟, 4th place
• this year — 40 🌟, 6th place
🌟 Host @hana: +1 point
What happens next depends on the round:
- An unsolved round stays where the turn already is:
/setwinnerdoesn’t hand the winner the turn. There’s no bounty to pay either, because the bounty went back to its contributors when the round ended. HARD MODE cashback that clue buyers already got stays theirs. - An open HARD MODE vote closes right away with that winner, just as if the group had voted for them. The winner gets the HARD MODE reward, the bonus, the whole bounty and the next turn, and Nani Pix posts “🛠 An admin closed the vote: @kenji was right! It was Whisper of the Heart — that’s a HARD MODE win (+2 to the score). Your turn to start the next game!”
Nani Pix refuses when she can’t do it:
| Situation | Nani Pix’s reply |
|---|---|
| No round with that number | There’s no game #142. |
| The round didn’t end unsolved and has no open vote (it was won, or is still running) | Game #142 isn’t unsolved (or open for a vote), so it can’t be re-finished. |
| You named Nani Pix | I can’t be the winner. |
| You named the player who started the round | The game’s own starter can’t be its winner. |
| Nani Pix hasn’t seen that player yet | I don’t know @kenji yet. |
Refunding a clue
Section titled “Refunding a clue”/refund @username lists that player’s clue purchases (/refund alone first shows a menu of the players who have refundable ones), newest first, five to a
page, with ◀ and ▶ to page through. Each button shows the game number, the clue,
the amount the refund would pay back and the date. Tap one, check the amount, and confirm.
Clue purchases of @yuki — tap one to refund (page 1/1):
Refund 120 💠 to @yuki for their title shape clue in game #142?
The list, the question and the result are all the same message, which changes as you tap. Cancel leaves the purchase alone (“Refund canceled.”). The player gets a private message from Nani Pix:
A purchase can only be refunded once. If it was refunded in the meantime (by another admin, or by tapping an old list), Nani Pix answers “That purchase was already refunded.” For a HARD MODE round where the player already got part of their spend back as cashback, she only refunds the rest, and the question names the amount kept back before you confirm.
Stopping a round
Section titled “Stopping a round”Any admin can stop the current round with /stop in a private message. You can
stop it quietly or, while the round is being played, reveal the answer. Clues and
the bounty are refunded, and the turn opens to everyone. See
How a round ends.
- A round Nani Pix started has no host, so only an admin can stop it.
- During a HARD MODE vote,
/stopcancels the vote too. Nobody wins, and the clues and the bounty go back to whoever paid for them.
