Your linkshell, in your server

The Lootryx bot reads from the same database as the web app, so what you see in Discord and what you see on the site never disagree. It is a console: almost every command just shows you something. Only /event is interactive, posting an event with buttons people can click.

Times are rendered with Discord’s own time tags, so a countdown like “closes in 12 minutes” stays correct in each person’s own timezone without the bot re-posting anything.

/event posts an event with five buttons: Attending, Bench, Late, Tentative, and Absent. Tapping one records that a member plans to show up (or not) and updates the counters and the attending list right there in the post.

Clicking a button never awards DKP. An RSVP is a heads-up, nothing more. DKP for showing up is only ever awarded from a verified in-game presence check, not from a button press. So the buttons tell your officers who intends to come, and the game itself confirms who actually did.

To use the RSVP buttons, a member first links their Discord account to the shell. That happens automatically when they sign into lootryx.com with Discord, there is nothing extra to set up. If someone who has not linked yet taps a button, the bot quietly replies (only they can see it) and points them to the website to link first.

The bot ships these commands today. If a command is not on this list, the bot does not have it yet. Reads commands show information; Posts commands add something new to the channel (an event, a poll, an announcement, a public roll). Options in <angle brackets> are required; options in [square brackets] are optional.

Most Reads commands post their answer where you run them, so the whole channel sees it. A handful reply privately instead, because the answer is personal or officer-only: /mydkp, /whoami, /link, /signup, /apply, /applications, plus the note when /dkp cannot find a character and the nudge when someone who has not linked taps an RSVP button.

The bot is built to be safe to run in an FFXI community and easy for a GM to audit.

• It reads no message content. It uses only Discord’s basic connection, the same one slash commands and buttons need. It cannot read your channels’ chat.
• It takes no in-game actions. It only shows information and records button clicks. It never touches the game.
• Bids stay sealed. /auctions tells you an auction is open, its tier, and how many bids are in, but never what anyone bid. Bidding itself happens on the web app.
