FAQ — Écho Leaderboards — Gamified leaderboards for the French-learning Discord
How are coins calculated?
Coins come from a server economy with integrated mini-games (blackjack, roulette, Russian roulette, cockfight) and economy commands like /work, /crime, /rob and /collect.
Do you earn coins by participating in text discussions?
Yes — members earn coins for useful messages and active participation in chat rooms, encouraging meaningful exchanges within the gamified economy.
Do you earn coins by being active in voice?
Yes — voice activity (minutes spent speaking) rewards coins and promotes daily speaking practice.
Do you earn coins by participating in server events?
Yes — server events (study sessions, quizzes, etc.) grant coin bonuses to participants and boost community engagement.
What is blackjack?
Blackjack is a card mini-game where you bet coins against the bot. Aim for 21 (or the closest total without going over) to beat the dealer.
What is roulette?
Roulette is a chance mini-game where you bet on numbers, colours or sections. The bot spins the wheel; winning bets return coin multipliers.
What is Russian roulette?
Russian roulette is an extreme mini-game where you risk your virtual life and coins. The bot simulates a revolver with a random chamber — survive to win, or lose everything.
What is cockfight?
Cockfight is a virtual cockfighting mini-game where you bet coins on a rooster. The bot simulates the fight; the winner takes the stakes.
What is the /work command?
The /work command simulates a job to earn coins. Use it regularly for a randomized salary and steady activity.
What is the /crime command?
The /crime command is risky: attempt a virtual crime to win coins. Success = loot; failure = loss or penalty.
What is the /rob command?
The /rob command lets you try to steal coins from another member. Pick a target; if successful, coins are transferred — beware of community retaliation.
What is the /collect command?
The /collect command lets you claim accumulated income such as passive salaries or role income configured on the server.
Are the leaderboards anti-spam?
Yes — automod and a transparent scoring model curb abuse and prioritise quality participation over raw message count.
When do seasons reset?
Regular seasons reset progression and rewards, affecting the economy and coins earned through games and activities.
How can I earn more coins in 2025?
Play mini-games (blackjack, roulette, etc.), use economy commands (/work, /crime, /rob, /collect), stay active in chat/voice and join events to boost your score.
Are leaderboards accessible outside Discord?
Yes — via the Écho website with real-time updates from UnbelievaBoat, including economy and game data.
