CHANGELOG.md

2.0.1

• CRITICAL bugfix to allow the same minigame to be played in multiple channels simultaneously without breaking things.
• All previous multi-channel releases can be considered broken if the multi-channel functionality is used.
• Added mod-use !reconnect command as a workaround for "This is not a game channel" until that can be fixed
• Also nerfed Double Zero.

2.0.0

• First release of Season 2! As such this will be the largest changelog yet...
• Streak Bonus rebalanced so you can't get more than 6.0 gain from even the largest of games
• Streak Bonus is now decimal too (it works in a 1.0 + 0.9 + 0.8 + etc format, down to 0.1 for the 10th and additional opponents)
• Excess Boost past the cap (in either direction) now (silently) converts into cash
• Life System now takes an entry fee ($100k or 1% of your score, whichever is greater) rather than crushing all your gains by 80%
• The turn marker now always starts from the top of the list
• Board distribution adjusted - more minigames, fewer events, and no jokers in small games, while more cash and fewer minigames in large games

• !next command added to ping you after the game
• !bet, !balance, and !richlist added to support betting system

• Bombs now detonate automatically at the end of the game (both showing you where they were, and adding them to the win bonus)
• Event Weights adjusted (unsurprisingly)
• Grab Bag added, awarding you with a minigame, a booster, cash, and an event (in that order)
• Blammos can potentially be upgraded to Mega Blammos in certain circumstances (don't spoil yourself on this one)
• New Events: Double Deal, Boost Charger, Boost Magnet Midas Touch, Ejector Seat, Skip Turn, Reverse, Draw Two, Draw Four
• Removed Events: Scramble, Repeat, Minigame Lock
• +Streak events adjusted for the decimal system (instead of +1/+2/+3, is now anywhere from +0.5 to +3.0)
• Lockdown now acts as Triple Deal as well
• Split & Share now hands out 2% per living player at the time you explode, rather than a flat 10% shared between everyone
• Mystery Money is rarer, has a 10% chance to give you negative cash, and shows up in Lockdown now
• Jackpot scales to the playercount, awarding $1m for each space originally on the board
• End Round renamed to Final Countdown and put on a delay
• New Minigames: Deal or No Deal, Bumper Grab
• Strike it Rich lets you DOUBLE YOUR MILLION (or any other prize won) if you achieve a full count
