Vote Improvements

Vote levels
- Every vote gains you a vote level
- Vote levels reset at the start of the month every month
- You can check vote level rewards with /advancements vote (blob is a joke, do the math)
- New badge for getting 115 vote levels across 3 separate months. Does not need to be in a row.
- Added a vote levels /leaderboard and profile module for profile customization
We are carefully re-testing our vote reminders feature, it was previously disabled for performance issues. It may be re-disabled shortly if we didn't find and fix the root cause like we think we did.

Gateway

Robbers wishlist and server specific leaderboards should now be working
It's a less than ideal implementation, a user isn't cached to show up on these until they've sent a message (started yesterday). This is similar to how it worked on production before the rewrite if you're familiar. We will improve this in the future given more time.

Partner Improvements

Some drops will be marked as "partner only" that can only be purchased while running the command within a partner server.
Partner server names will show up in /beg
Partner servers now have automatic premium perks at a $75 value (max perks)
Partners have access to set a channel similar to DMC's market log channel in their own servers
Partner apps are now open: https://forms.gle/vTp7K3EpDBNdpd498 (old partners must re-apply)

New Items

Designer Hoodie (Website competition winner, found from searching)
Stonk Coin (Website competition winner, will be a drop item exclusive)
Coin Voucher, turn one in to the bot for 10m coins in exchange.
For more details on the above items, use the /item command.

Coin Shortage

Because you can no longer infinitely print money with blackjack, people are feeling the results of a coin shortage. We've made some direct changes to help with that.
Max multi is now 750% up from 500%
Sellable type items have BOOMED in value, and sometimes (with max multi) can be sold for more than their current (as of posting this) trade value to the bot.
Weekly now gives 500k
Monthly now gives 8m coins
Coin bomb now gives 10k-50k coins, up from 5k to 15k
Every lootbox either gives more coins or more items (some slightly, some majorly)
Patreon box now gives a chance at coin vouchers, and we removed banknotes
Added coin voucher to patreon packs
Made out west closer in difficulty to space, and slightly increased payouts
Highlow jackpot payout is over doubled from before
Postmemes trending is nearly doubled from before
Slots now has a 500x multi combo
Stream ads pay out more now
Trending game ads now are 3x up from 2x
Green screen now improves ad payouts from 1.5x to 2x
Stream donations pay out more now
Candy payout is over doubled
Stack of cash turn in values are higher now
Tipjar table was tweaked
Santas bags actually give a little value in coins now
Treasure map now gives significantly more coins
Capybara is now a sellable item type

Other Noteworthy changes

Item command got completely redesigned. It now includes more info and EVERY item had a description update to be more flavorful and interesting. There is now also a market button under this embed that opens a market filter embed for the item.
Edited a lot of command and argument descriptions to have slightly better explanations or grammar. Did mostly currency commands, will do another pass on non currency commands at a later date.
Added 4 search locations, two from reddit weekly threads and 2 from website competition winners
Lottery entry is now 5k, tax is now 18%
Giveaway minimum value is now 2.5m
Removed meme boxes from new player packs
Badosz spent hours improving the visual and practical aspects of tons of embeds across the bot. There is now a lot more readable text and command mentions to use.
New setting for DM fight logs. If enabled, fight logs will be DM'd to you when the fight is over.
Slots got a redesign and a play again button
Adventure now has a button to see an "in progress" menu with some information about the current adventure
Kable's item has a meme use now, it does consume the item.
/meme now defaults to memes and the scope is optional
"fairness" of trades should be now updated when the item value gets updated. This has not been tested at scale yet, so hold tight.
When getting a manual payout from a server pool, you now get a notification
We now track how many times an alert message is ignored so we can feel angry about being ignored for important updates

What do you think?

Rate this update and tell us what worked, or what could be better.
