Discord and the site
How the server mirrors the site, and what each channel is for
The Discord server is a window on the Empire, not a control panel. Roles come from Roblox through the site, events are made on the site and mirrored, and the log channels show what staff and command did here. If you want something changed, the site is where it changes.
Getting your roles
- 01Join the server from the link in Channels on the home screen, or from #instructions.You see the welcome channels and nothing else until you are verified.
- 02Type /verify in the server, press Verify, or link Discord from your account here.All three do the same thing: your Discord is tied to your Roblox account, and your roles are set from your groups. /verify is the shortest: one link, one sign-in, done.
- 03Roles follow Roblox.Verified; your role in the Cyrannus Empire group by its name (Eternal Civilians, Enlisted, Command and so on, up to the Cyrrarchs); your rank in the Cyrannus Army by its name, if you hold one; moderation. The list is in sections, one per group, and each has a heading role, such as Cyrannus Army, which you hold with anything in that section. The other divisions' ranks are roles on their own servers, not here. They are set again every time you sign in or press Refresh from Roblox, and once a day for everyone.
- 04A change on Roblox reaches Discord by the next morning at the latest.The site reads everyone's groups once a day and sets the roles again. Sign in or press Refresh from Roblox to have it done now.
The bot's commands
Cyrannus Automation answers a few slash commands, typed anywhere in the server. Every answer is for your eyes only. None of them decides anything: the two that change something, /verify and /sync, only make Discord follow Roblox, and the rest read from the site and point at it.
- 01/verifyA link that ties this Discord account to the Roblox account you sign in with, good for ten minutes and for you alone. Already verified, it says who you are and sets your roles again.
- 02/syncReads your Roblox groups again and sets your roles here to match, now.
- 03/meYour clearance, your postings, this week's quota, your leave.
- 04/whois and /robloxWho a member is on Roblox and what they hold, by their Discord account or their Roblox username. What their profile shows, no more.
- 05/events and /leaveThe next events with a link to each; your leave, and where to ask for one.
- 06For the moderation team: /update, /lockdown, /unlock, /quarantine, /security./update reads everyone's Roblox groups again and sets their roles here to match, or one member's, the pass the morning sweep makes. Discord takes ten changes to members every ten seconds, so a big roster takes minutes; the answer names who changed and who Discord refused, and a pass that runs out of time says how many are left for the next. The rest: pause invites and raise the verification level while something is going on, and end it; take every role off a member and silence them for a day while you look; and the server's guard as it stands. The security ones are written to #security-logs with a name on it; /update is in the audit log.
The server's guard
The bot also watches the server on its own: joins, and the audit log as it is written. A burst of channel or role deletions, of bans or kicks, of channels or webhooks created, a bot added, or Administrator handed out by anyone but the server's owner is stopped where the bot can stop it, the actor loses every role and is silenced for an hour, and the owner is told in #security-logs. A moderator clearing a raid is left to it. Too many joins in a minute, or several days-old accounts in a couple of minutes, pauses invites for half an hour. It receives no messages and reads nothing but joins and the audit log.
Where things are
- 01Information.The rules, the links, the divisions, the rank ladder and the documents, posted from the same text the site serves.
- 02Important.Word from the throne and from staff, #events for everything scheduled, #divisional-recruitment, #development for what shipped, and #inspection for inspection results.
- 03General.Talk. #questions and #feedback are forums; ask there and someone who knows will answer. #media is for screenshots and clips.
- 04Divisions.One channel per division, open to its members and to command.
- 05Nexus logs.Staff only. Every log channel is fed by the site: tickets, punishments, ranks, accounts, applications, leave, and the audit log in order.
Reaching staff
Open a ticket on the site. Staff can see your Discord id on it and may reach you there, but the ticket is the record and the reply is on the site. Discord-side moderation, such as AutoMod, is done by Discord itself and logged in #discord-logs.
