Engagement
Chat games that start when a busy channel goes quiet, daily posts, reputation and social actions.
Engagement keeps chat moving. It posts a quick game when an active channel starts to slow down, and never interrupts a busy channel or posts into a dead one. It also adds reputation and social action commands.
When It Posts
A channel qualifies when it had at least Minimum Recent Messages within the Activity Window, then nobody has posted for Quiet Minutes. After an activity, the channel waits for the Engagement Cooldown, and each server posts at most Maximum Engagements Per Day.
Activities
| Activity | How it plays |
|---|---|
| Spell Racer | First member to type the word wins. |
| Scrambled Words | First member to unscramble the word wins. |
| Riddle Race | First correct answer to the riddle wins. |
| Emoji Guess | First member to guess what the emojis mean wins. |
| Quiz | A multiple choice question with lettered buttons. |
| Would You Rather | A two-option poll with a live tally. |
| This Or That | A two-option poll with a live tally. |
| Question Of The Day | A daily discussion question. |
| Quote Of The Day | A daily quote. |
Races and the quiz end after the Answer Window. Winners get the Winner Coin Reward with the Economy module and the Winner XP Reward with the Leveling module. With Open Discussion Threads on, the daily question and quote get a thread.
The daily question and quote post at Daily Post Time in the Daily Post Channel.
Reputation
Members give each other reputation for being helpful. A member can give or take one point every 12 hours, and cannot rate themselves. Scores show on /rep leaderboard and /leaderboard.
Social Actions
/interact has 24 actions aimed at another member, such as hug, pat, highfive, wave, poke, bonk and yeet. /emote has 25 solo reactions, such as dance, laugh, shrug, facepalm and tableflip. Both take an optional note and show a GIF.
The target of an /interact gets a button to return the action, and Medusa counts how many times each pair has interacted.
