Getting started with Realms as a user

Overview

If Realms is installed on a Discord guild you are in, then it may have a realm running in various channels, then this tutorial will help you get the most out of it.

Using the Dashboard

/realms

Realms now has a dashboard you can access all features you need as a user by starting with /realms

This shows information about your status in the realm, and gives you access to other features.

Example Dashboard

Understanding the Dashboard

The dashboard shows you what realm you are in and the current mission in the first two lines.

• CHAMP is the realms currency name.

• 0 CHAMP is how many coins are in the wallet.

• 0 Likes to Give is how many likes you have earned through inflation to mint new coins.

• 0 Likes Earned is how many likes people have given to you.

• 0 Likes Given is how many likes you have given away.

• Notifications are disabled You have the option to enable notifications which will let you know when people like you or your coin balance changes. This is done through direct message from the Realms bot. Enable notifications with the Enable Notifications button.

• Currency inflation is disabled Administrators can enable or disable inflation, which is what allows you to earn and give likes to others through the emoji system. You can see more about inflation with the Earn Coins button.

• Faucet is disabled The faucet allows you to claim free coins or likes to give. You can claim this with the Claim Coins button.

• Leaderboard Lets you see the top coin holders in the realm.

• Show all realms in Guild - Gives you a list of all the realms and channels you can find them in.

Find a Realm

Click the "Show all realms in Guild" button to list all realms in the current guild, as well as any channels they are connected to.

Example Realms

If you can see these commands, you are good to go, if not, talk to an admin to fix the permissions for access to Realms commands.

Voting

Admins can create new votes. To participate in votes you must hold some coins. Keep an eye out in the channel for new votes that look like this:

A Realms vote

From here just click on the option you want to vote for and enter an amount of coins to weight your selection. An admin will determine when the vote will end and rewards given to voters.

Currency Inflation

Inflation is a way to distribute new coins in a peer to peer way. Once enabled by an admin, you have an opportunity to earn more coins and mint more coins. Learn more about the mechanics here: Currency Inflation. Understand that during the round, you may be given "likes". Check your balance with /realms this will show you how many likes you have earned, and how many you can give away.

Liking Others

During inflation you earn the ability to give likes to users by reacting to their messages with a 👍. When you like others, both you and the person you liked earn half a coin. This increases the supply of coins, so be strategic around who you like.

Earning Likes

You do not need to hold any coins to be liked. Generally you earn likes by participating in discussions in the realm channel according to the realms mission. This gives others the opportunity to like you. Look at the most influential users in the round with "/currency inflation about", and see who has the most likes to give out. You can also talk to your admin to figure out the best way to earn likes.

Conclusion

Your job as a realm citizen is to try to earn as many coins as you can by participating in the realm activities. Use these coins to influence decisions through voting, and the power structure through distribution rounds. Look to your admins for guidance on what the realm is trying to accomplish.
