The Forked Discord already runs a real engagement economy. Good conversation earns points, bringing in friends who stick around earns points, and wearing the server tag earns points. Until now all of that lived inside Discord. We connected it to FORKcast so the effort carries across.
How the bridge works
Run the /link-forkcast command in Discord and it hands you a one-time code.
Enter that code in FORKcast and the two accounts are tied together. From then on your
earned Discord points convert into FORKcast points at a rate of two to one. Two hundred
points of community activity becomes a hundred points to put behind your calls.
The link is idempotent, which is a plain way of saying you cannot double dip. Each grant is keyed so it can only ever land once, and the code does not get consumed in a way that lets it be replayed. Show up, earn, link, and the points follow you.
Imported points give you more to play with, but they do not buy you a rank. The FORKcast leaderboard is scored on profit, meaning how much your calls grew your stack, not how big the stack started. Bringing points over gives you more room to work, and the board still measures how well you actually read the game.
Why we did it
The community and the game should pull in the same direction. Someone who spends their evenings helping in Discord and someone who lives on the leaderboard are the same kind of person, and they should feel like they are playing one thing, not two. The bridge rewards the people carrying the room and gives them a head start at the thing they came for.
Get your points across
If you are already active in the Forked Discord, run /link-forkcast, take
the code to FORKcast, and claim what you have earned. If you are not in yet, that is the
place to start.
