Vaqun
🎉 Giveaways
Run giveaways in your server: members enter with one button, Vaqun ends each giveaway on time and draws the winners fairly. Use /giveaway (or .gw) or the dashboard's Giveaways section.
Start one
/giveaway start duration:1d winners:2 prize:Nitro posts the giveaway in the current channel (or the one you pick) with an Enter button, the end time, the number of entries and any requirements. With the prefix: .gw start 1d 2 prize: Nitro channel: #giveaways.
Members press Enter to join; pressing it again offers to leave. Nobody can enter twice. The entry count on the message updates every few seconds.
When the time is up, Vaqun draws the winners, announces them in the channel, updates the message and DMs the winners (unless you turn that off). This happens even if Vaqun was restarting at that moment: it catches up as soon as it's back.
Fair draws
Winners are picked with the system's secure random source. Nobody can win twice in the same draw. People who left the server or no longer meet the requirements when the giveaway ends are skipped. If there aren't enough valid entries, Vaqun says so and picks as many as it can.
Manage it
/giveaway end <id>: end it now and draw./giveaway cancel <id>: cancel it, with no winners./giveaway reroll <id> [winner]: draw again after it ended, for everyone or just one winner. Previous winners can't win again./giveaway edit <id>: change the prize, the number of winners or when it ends./giveaway pause <id>/resume <id>: stop and restart the countdown./giveaway listand/giveaway entrants <id>: what's running, and who entered.
The ID is in the giveaway's footer. Everything is recorded in the server's Activity log.
Requirements
On every plan: a required role, a minimum account age and a minimum time in the server. With Premium: several required roles, blocked roles, a minimum level or message count (from Vaqun's leveling), bonus entries for a role, a claim window (winners must press Claim prize within N hours, or a new winner is drawn), and starting a giveaway later.
Prizes
The prize is whatever you write, and your staff hand it out. You can also give each winner an amount of the server's own Economy currency: it's credited automatically when the win is final (on claiming, if there's a claim window). Vaqun Tokens can't be a prize: they belong to each person across Vaqun, not to a server.
Settings
In the dashboard's Giveaways: start and manage giveaways, see entries and winners, and set the defaults (embed color, DMs to winners, pinging winners in the announcement, the default claim window). To let a role run giveaways without Manage Server, add a rule for /giveaway under Command access.
If something goes wrong
- The giveaway's message was deleted: Vaqun posts it again; the entries are kept.
- Its channel was deleted: the giveaway is cancelled. With
/nuke, the giveaway moves to the new channel and is posted again there. - Vaqun can't post in the channel: it needs to see it, send messages and embed links. The dashboard shows why a giveaway didn't start.
- A winner has DMs closed: they're still announced in the channel.
