Serrans, meet P.H.I.L.
Our new Discord bot provides easy access to Data Card information at every Serran’s fingertips.
Note from the editor: the following press release has just reached us for release. Grachech, Editor-in-chief, The Serra Chronicle.
FROM: Council of the Six
TO: (The Serra Chronicle), (Other media), (Department Heads).
RE: Press Release | Embargo: IMMEDIATE RELEASEPersonal Holographic Information Library — P.H.I.L.
In keeping with their aim of empowering every Serran in every Hextrict, the Council of the Six has issued every household on Serra with its own Personal Holographic Information Library, or P.H.I.L. for short.
P.H.I.L. is about the size of a large biscuit tin and connects its user to a vast library of information at the press of a button or via vocalized commands.
While P.H.I.L. is designed to stay at home, each P.H.I.L. will link to any wearable technology Serrans may have. So no matter your location on Serra, P.H.I.L. will be able to help you access the most up-to-date information on the Grand Tournament.
By inputting a command and calling for a specific card, P.H.I.L. will respond with a holographic projection. The projection will display card information such as Faction, Type, Rarity, Scarcity, and how many are currently in existence.
P.H.I.L. will also play a special role in alerting Serrans to the creation of any extra scarce cards that are created. This includes the discovery of any Artifacts.
All this will be useful for Serrans in keeping up with a dynamic card supply. The number of Holographic Data Cards will likely go up and down throughout the Grand Tournament, and the scarcity of the cards will change to reflect that. Therefore, being able to easily refer to the Scarcity Score will help Serrans immensely.
…RELEASE ENDS…
How to use P.H.I.L.
Sebb, our amazing Full Stack Ennsveloper, has been hard at work on the play-testing game client but also more recently he’s been building the first official Synergy of Serra Discord bot 🤩
Serrans will be able to call on P.H.I.L. in the Synergy of Serra Discord server. The #😎alpha-fame channel will remain the same for checking Alpha Fame rankings but using the new slash commands to call P.H.I.L. for the information. For access to card data, there will be a dedicated channel called #🤖p-h-i-l but also access to P.H.I.L. in #🧠general, again using slash commands.
For example, to see information on Bagni we type /showme, press return, and choose Bagni, the Triggered from the list, then we select the Quality we would like to see the information about and P.H.I.L. will respond. In addition, there will be full instructions pinned in the relevant Discord channels if anyone needs a reminder.
Not only that, but whenever a scarce card is minted P.H.I.L. will notify us in the #🤖p-h-i-l channel.
Information Library
As the name suggests, there will be a lot more information available through P.H.I.L. than simply card data. From launch, Serrans can access tables on the Alpha Fame rankings in addition to the card data.
The Council of the Six will look to add to P.H.I.L.’s information retrieval capability. If you have any ideas, please get in touch.
A Reminder of the Scarcity Score
The card supply on Serra is dynamic and will change every time a crate is opened. In addition, the variety of different Quality and Rarity combinations for each card makes it difficult to judge and keep track of how scarce a card is.
Scarcity Score = 1/Rarity% * 1/Quality% / ExistingCardsCount x 100
However, the Scarcity Score puts knowledge and transparency about each card’s supply at your fingertips, so you will always be able to compare cards quickly and easily.
We look forward to using P.H.I.L. in the very near future!
