Announcing FACE: A Multi-Purpose QuizBowl Discord Bot

Post by B3nj1 »

Over the summer, Shoorsen Gandhi and I (Benji Chang) created FACE. The original purpose of FACE (fully automated card extractor) was to act as a "card printer" that created Anki cards from old QuizDB tossups. We continued adding more features and FACE now has an ever-increasing number of commands that will help you study, practice, and have fun with quizbowl!

Below are some of the things that you can do with FACE:

Carding:
  • By simply using one command, you can make thousands of flashcards that you can review using Anki!
  • You can card by term (e.g. card Albert Einstein) or by category (e.g. card all hs regs level myth tossups).
  • You can filter your cards so that you don't review the same stock clue over and over again.

Practice:
  • In addition to PKs and carding, FACE can also be used as a quizbowl practice helper.
  • FACE makes practice a lot easier by keeping track of teams and practice stats (including powers and negs).
  • FACE will send in-depth stat lines and reports at the end of the practice session.
  • Practice with or without bonuses and pick between ffa and teams!

PKs:
  • FACE will keep track of your stats as you attempt to answer as many correct as possible.
  • PK by subcategory (e.g. biology) or with multiple categories (science and myth)!
  • Get PK cards at the end of your PK so that you can review missed answerlines!
  • PK with others to test yourselves as a team!
  • Compete against others in timed PKs!
  • Ranking (like chess) coming soon!

Lookup:
  • Lookup the frequency of an answerline as a graph over difficulty!
  • Answerline frequency lists for categories coming soon!

FACE is constantly being developed and we have many exciting features planned. We decided to adopt a "freemium" model for FACE so that we can cover server costs, but any extra money that we make will be donated to a charity (we haven't decided which one yet). You can view more deatils about premium features at https://www.patreon.com/facebot. Premium costs 3 dollars a month (you can cancel anytime) for premium in 3 Discord servers. This is equivalent to only 12 dollars a year per server.

Add the bot to your server here!

Even if you don't purchase premium, you can still access "lookup" commands, the practice helper, PKs (without team or competitive pks and without PK review cards),and some carding features! Many future features will also likely be free!

We hope that you will consider using FACE!

The bot has seemed to stop working. It's too bad, it was a wonderful tool. Anyone know what's going on/are in contact with the creators?

The new Discord bot update stopped it from working, since FACE isn't verified and only verified bots can use text commands. I believe the creators said that they are currently busy and aren't able to shift it over to "/" commands right now. This is the support server. https://discord.gg/7DxSTzFTfw
