This bot message will feature a slowly increasi ng counter\, as well as a button. Whenever someone presses the button\, th e current value of the counter is added to that person’s score total\, a nd the counter is reset to a starting value of -5. Your goal is simple: Th rough careful pressing of buttons as well as scheming with and/or manipula tion of your fellow DB members\, you should ensure your score at the end o f the competition is higher than anyone else’s.\n\n### TO PARTICIPATE\n- Gain access to the #button channel by granting yourself the Dee Dee role through the button in #settings.\n- Press the button when the counter has a positive value\n- Confirm that somebody else didn’t beat you and ensur e that the positive value was added to your point total\n\n### TO WIN\n- C ontinue pressing the button at the right moments and end up with the highe st point total\n\n### THE FINE PRINT\n- Only a positive value button press counts for participation. Hitting the button while its value is zero or b elow doesn’t count as participating\, you need to press the button at le ast once while its value is positive. For participation\, it does not matt er if your final score is negative\, as long as you have at least one posi tive "click".\n- Users whose point total is negative are no longer able to press the button while its value is also negative until their point total becomes 0 or higher again.\n- Button presses are received and processed b y the bot in sequential order\, so when two people press the buttons near- simultaneously\, a millisecond could make the difference. Note that in thi s case the counter would reset to -5 in-between processing the two button presses\, meaning the second person would receive negative 5 points. This is intended behavior.\n- To prevent streaks of one person accumulating lon g stretches of +1\, pressing the button more than two times in a row witho ut somebody else pressing the button in between will subtract 5 points for each button press after the second\, rather than awarding the button's va lue\n- Code is in place to ignore accidental 'double clicks' due to Discor d lag\, but the possibility of one still slipping through still exists and will not be retroactively corrected.\n- Placement is determined by score at the end of the competition\, in descending order. Ties are broken by le ast amount of button presses\n- Shady tactics are expected and encouraged\ , but please be a good sport when someone is just trying to get their part icipation in.
