GETTING STARTED
When a new member joins the server they are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 Agora Research Projects: Destroying Angel, Cryptic Bonnet, or Distinguished Inkcap.
After being placed in a project, players will receive an initial set of DM messages from Agora detailing the lore behind their respective Research Project. At this point, players can begin gaining Research Points using the commands described in the next section.
how to play: COMMANDS
Run the following commands in any channel in our Discord, or in your Agora bot DM, to start researching!
$research - gain a constant amount of Research Points per second, for a period of time (your Research Cycle).
Check how many points you’re getting, and how much time is left in your Research Cycle, by running $status.
$subscribe - get a DM from Agora to notify you when your Research Cycle ends. These notifications are off by default.
$sprint - kick off an Innovation Sprint.
Innovation Sprints allow you to gamble a percentage of your research for a variable return.
See the max amount of research you can gamble by running $sprint
To start an Innovation Sprint, specify the percentage you want to gamble by adding the percent number after the command.
For example: $sprint 1 will start an Innovation Sprint with 1% of your Research Point Total as the wager.
$status - see your current Research Point total, current level, whether you’re subscribed for notifications, and more.
If you’re in the middle of a Research Cycle you’ll see info like your Research Point Total, Research Cycle Time Remaining, Research Until Next Level, and Research Rate Per Second.
If you’re in the middle of an Innovation Sprint you’ll see info like your Innovation Sprint Wager and Innovation Sprint Time Remaining.
$cancel - if you would like to cancel your ongoing Research Cycle or Innovation Sprint, you can run $cancel.
If you were in a Research Cycle, you’ll still maintain all of the research you gained so far in the cycle.
If you were in an Innovation Sprint, you’ll be refunded the amount of research equivalent to the amount of time you’ve been waiting on your Innovation Sprint to complete, multiplied by your Research Rate Per Second.
PROJECT MILESTONES
As players level up, they also increase the Research Point totals for their respective Agora research projects (Cryptic Bonnet, Destroying Angel, or Distinguished Inkcap).
Just like players, research projects can also level up when they reach certain research point thresholds called Milestones.
Once a research project reaches a new Milestone level, all players from that project will receive various perks, including (but not limited to) increased Research Rate Per Second, Lore Rewards, and better Innovation Sprint percentages.
Players can track the progress toward the next Milestone level for their project in the #milestones channel.
LEADERBOARDS
Players with the top 45 Research Point totals will appear in the Reach Point leaderboards in the #leaderboards channel.
