Notice board
A notice board for guild resource quests and bounties: post what the guild needs brought in or done, members send in what they bring with proof, and officers approve it.
How it works
A notice is a resource quest. An officer posts a notice (say "Fort upgrade drive") listing what the guild needs, each line with a target and a reward. Members send in how much they contributed, with a screenshot to show it, an officer reviews it and approves, and that pays the member out in DKP and moves the notice's progress along.
Resource donations are the headline use, but a notice is really just "ask for something, take proof, pay out", so the board doubles as a general bounty board: reward members for helping others clear a dungeon, covering a task, or anything else you want to encourage. Each line is simply whatever you are rewarding, and members send proof of doing it.
The line between the two pages: Loot is what the guild hands out to members; the notice board is what it asks them to bring in. What a line asks for is one of two kinds:
- Goes to the Bank: an item from Loot's catalogue, or the game's gold. What an officer approves lands in the Bank on Loot as the member's donation, the gold included, ready to be handed out again. A drive such as "20 potions for raid night" or "50m for the guild hall". These need Loot on for the game (and its gold system, for gold).
- Counted, not kept: anything you type. Resources given to a cause (a building in your town) or things done for the guild (dungeon carries, covering a task) count toward the notice and pay its reward, and are stored nowhere.
Notices belong to a game and are for everyone on it or for one roster. A member sees the whole game's notices and their own roster's; a member on two rosters picks between them with the roster switch in the top bar, as officers do for every roster. Officers are the game's admins and roles with the game's Notices permission: they make and run notices and work through Review.
Boards & items
New notice opens the editor. A notice has a title, an optional description, and the roster it is for (or everyone on the game). It runs until it is closed or until a date, and can close itself when every target is met.
It asks for one or more things, each a line that has either:
- A target: a progress bar toward it.
- Any amount: collects open-endedly, with no target.
With Repeat it on, a notice runs from one reset to the next: weekly, every two weeks or monthly, on the day and at the time you set, on your server's clock. At the reset it closes and the next one opens with the same lines and its progress back at zero. When one closes early (every target met, or closed by hand), the next one waits for the reset: officers see it on the board marked with when it opens, members see it once it opens, and that is when it is posted on Discord. Save any notice as a template (from its ⋯ or the editor's footer) and start the next one from it.
Per-line settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| What it asks for | Type a name (counted, not kept, with an optional emoji), or pick the gold or an item from the Bank's list under the field (it goes to the Bank, with the item's own icon). |
| Target or Any amount | Whether it has a target or collects open-endedly. |
| Target | How much the guild is after. |
| Reward | Every so many units pays so much DKP (see Rewards below). Shown while the game pays DKP. |
Notice-wide, you also set an optional per-member DKP cap, the announce channel (without one, nothing is posted), a role to ping, and what happens to the Discord post when the notice closes: keep it, move it to an archive channel, or delete it.
An officer's ⋯ on a notice edits it, closes it, reopens an ended one, saves it as a template or deletes it.
Rewards
Each line pays by the block. You set how many units make a block and how much DKP a block is worth. When a member sends in a quantity, Qutie counts the full blocks and works out the reward.
Say wood pays 1 DKP for every 100. A member who sends 250 wood has two full blocks (the last 50 do not count), so Qutie suggests 2 DKP. The officer sees that suggested amount pre-filled when reviewing and can change it before approving, for the odd case. With bonuses on in Loot's Settings, a member's bonus is added on top, shown beside the reward.
Anything below a full block is not rewarded, and an optional DKP cap limits how much any one member can earn from a single notice.
The notice board is free; the DKP it pays is part of Loot and DKP, a Premium feature, and needs DKP auctions on for the game. Without them a notice still counts what members bring in, and pays no DKP; the top contributors are then ranked by how many of their contributions were approved.
Submitting & review
Members send theirs from the website (a notice's Contribute button) or the Discord card's Submit: how many of each line, a screenshot to show it (optional on the website, asked for in Discord) and a note for the officer. It waits for an officer with the reward worked out, and the member sees it on the notice, pending, until then (and can cancel it).
Officers work through the Review tab: a card for every contribution waiting on the notices in view, with everything the member sent in one go (each line with its count, and the rate it pays under it), the screenshot, their note and the suggested reward. Correct a count from the screenshot (the reward follows the rate) or the reward itself, then Approve to pay it, move the notice along and, for a line that goes to the Bank, put it there; or Decline it with an optional reason. Qutie sends the reason to the member by DM, and the declined contribution stays on their notice, with the reason, for 7 days. Loot's Review works the same way.
The board opens on what came in, all time, for the notices on it: how many contributions, from how many members, and the top contributors (by the DKP notices paid them, or by how many contributions were approved where nothing paid DKP). Pick a resource there to see just that one across every notice (a template's weekly "Wood" counts as one): its contributions, how much was brought in, and who brought the most. The ended notices sit on the board after the running ones, dimmed and stamped Completed or Ended; the box icon at the end hides them for the visit. Every notice keeps its own leaderboard, and an ended one's Contributions (in its ⋯ menu) show everything sent to it.
