Counting Game

Jarvis Feature

Counting Game

The Counting Game is the original version of the Alpha Counting system — a simple, fast‑paced, number‑based challenge where your community competes to count as high as possible without making a mistake. It’s easy to learn, surprisingly addictive, and perfect for keeping your server active and engaged.

How the Game Works

The rules are straightforward: start at 1 and keep counting upward, one message at a time. Each user can only send the next number, and any mistake resets the entire count back to 1.

  • Begin at 1
  • Each message must be the next correct number
  • Only one message per user at a time
  • Incorrect numbers reset the count
  • Compete with other servers to reach the highest streak

The simplicity of the game makes it fun and competitive — especially when your server tries to beat global high scores or challenge other communities.

Setting Up the Counting Game

The Counting Game is configured through the Jarvis config system. Once you choose a channel for the game, Jarvis handles all validation, tracking, and resets automatically.

Channel Setup

Assign a channel where counting will take place. Jarvis will monitor only that channel and ignore messages elsewhere.

  • Select the counting channel using the config command
  • Jarvis begins tracking the current number
  • Messages outside the channel are not counted
Optional Fail Role

You can assign a role that Jarvis gives to users who break the count. This adds a fun, competitive twist and highlights who caused the reset.

  • Assign a fail role for incorrect messages
  • Jarvis applies the role automatically
  • Great for friendly rivalry
Resetting the Game

Moderators can reset the count at any time using the config command. This clears the current progress and starts the game back at 1.

Keep the Count Going

The Counting Game encourages teamwork, timing, and coordination. As the numbers climb, the pressure builds — one mistake sends everyone back to the start. Can your server keep the streak alive and climb the global leaderboard?

Summary

The Counting Game is a simple yet engaging activity where users work together to count as high as possible without breaking the chain. With easy configuration, automatic validation, optional fail roles, and global competition, it’s a fun and interactive challenge for any community.
