The latest version of SpellBot now honors the preferred locale for the Discord server when creating Convoke games. So if you play on a server that uses one of the languages that Convoke supports, those games will now use that language instead of just defaulting to English.

I play very often on Convoke on other creators' streams. This platform rocks. I'm not an ambassador and likely would not accept it just to create room for others to be showcased. But I will sing the praises of this site to the ends of the Earth. If you aren't using it, yet, you REALLY should.

We are very excited to announce our first wave of MTG Convoke Ambassadors! They are incredible positive forces for the MTG community and we are very proud to have them use Convoke. You can see the full list at convoke.games/creators and give them a follow, you won't regret it

The TCC Discord's looking for games section runs completely off of @spellbot.io Spelltable's decision to disable access has greatly hurt the community and games we foster. This is a very disappointing and unfortunate situation, as SpellBot drives over 900 people to Spelltable every day.

Here's a full write up about the situation with SpellTable. Long story short: I will soon be turning off support for SpellTable. It's been great 7 years y'all! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this story <3 SpellBot itself is not going away! We still work with other sites.

So it's real clear, if it wasn't before... Fuck ICE. Fuck racism, transphobia, homophobia, and and hatred based bigotry. Fuck government inaction. My format, my discord, my DMs, and my presence have and will forever be a haven for those in need. Fuck with the flock I tend and you will find out.

I’m really disappointed in everyone with a platform that isn’t speaking out against injustice. I see the behavior and taking notes. Notes for who I won’t be working with or collaborating with in the future. Too many worried about their follower count and not their own morals.

Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY! Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day. Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

Suggestion for webcam Magic players, especially steamers: Play your games on convoke.games instead of Spelltable. Development is active instead of stagnant. A lot of cool tools and features are already available. There are plans for more quality of life improvements. Easy to log in and use!

Hopefully everyone is enjoying a faster more responsive bot! Here's a graph of how long it takes the bot to spin up a new SpellTable game. Things get a lot less spiky and drop to around ~2ish seconds since the recent maintenance was completed. πŸŽ‰

There's a new rules: option for /lfg where you can stipulate additional rules for your game lobby. This will affect matchmaking! So users that just run /lfg with any rules will NOT be put into your lobby. People can of course still join your game if they click the Join button though.

Big props to @lexicalunit.com for updating @spellbot.io to support Commander Bracket Beta in the LFG command. Has helped streamline the ability for people to adopt it on @tolariancommunitycollege.com's Discord.

Since the announcement, I've encouraged members of Prof's Discord server to try it out in the LFG channels and a fair number are. Whether it's working or not, I dunno! I've asked them to send their feedback to the official Magic Discord. But people seem to want to try. And that's the important part.
