The idea popped into my head just now for a game of tag utilizing the Discord bot. Basic syntax would be !tag @PeterPan. I haven't worked out a great way to gamify it, but I have a few rough ideas:
- Simple Tag. No rules, no structure, no substance. Just a silly command you use to tag someone
!tag @PeterPan => Aarlo tagged PeterPan! Basically a reskin of the !trout command.
- Structured Simple Tag. Still no goal, but you can only tag someone if you are it. Bot admins can start multiple tag games so more than one person is it at a time. Perhaps add an "It" role that gets passed around. And a
!whoisit command to see the list of people. Idea: Anyone with the "It" role has an undesireable side effect.
- Hot potato tag. Anyone can start the game:
!hotpotato A timer starts counting down from 5 minutes. If you are it then you can tag someone else. When the timer expires, the loser is the one who is it.
One big problem is that it could become obnoxious since tagging notifies people, even if it's their nighttime. Maybe we have to have a 1min signup period before the game starts, and only those can be tagged.
