Multi-Game Hangout

Server structure

Overview

A general gaming community whose members rotate between games and want a channel for each of the popular ones without a sidebar of fifty. Eight games get a category each - Fortnite, Minecraft, Valorant, League, Apex, Roblox, Call of Duty and GTA are the starting set; swap any of them for what your members actually play - and every category has the same three things: a chat channel, an LFG channel and a party voice sized to that game's squad, five seats for Valorant, ten for Minecraft, three for Apex. Game roles are self-assigned and mentionable, so #valorant-lfg can ping the Valorant players and nobody else. The Hangout category is the shared living room: #general, #introductions, #memes, #clips, #setups-and-battlestations, a read-only #game-news feed, #suggestions and #bot-playground so commands stay out of chat. The Voice Hub is a Join to Create channel for Temp Voice, two Hangout rooms, a Watch Party and an Event Stage, which keeps the permanent voice list short while game parties come and go. Events has a read-only #upcoming-events board Event Hosts post to, #tournament-signups, #event-lounge and #giveaways. Staff have a hidden chat, a report review channel, an audit feed and a lounge voice. The ladder runs Owner, Admin, Moderator, Helper, Event Host, Booster, Regular and Member, with Regular earned through Leveling.

When to use it

Your community server has a channel for every game anyone ever asked for, most of them empty, and LFG posts for six different games share one channel where nobody finds a party. This layout gives the eight games people actually play a category each with chat, LFG and a right-sized party voice, moves everything else into one hangout, and lets Temp Voice handle the rooms that a permanent list cannot.

What makes it different

• Eight game categories, each with a chat channel, an LFG channel and a party voice sized to that game's squad.
• Game roles are self-assigned and mentionable, so an LFG post pings only the players of that game.
• The Voice Hub has a Join to Create channel for Temp Voice, so party rooms appear and vanish on demand.
• #upcoming-events and #giveaways are read-only for members, so an event is never buried in #general.
• The Regular role is earned through Leveling, giving long-time members visible standing without staff work.

Recommended Vetox setup

• Self-Roles

  Post a Self-Roles panel in #pick-your-games for the eight game roles so each LFG channel can ping the right players.

• Temp Voice

  Point Temp Voice at Join to Create so a party gets its own room and the permanent list stays at two Hangout rooms.

• Leveling

  Give Regular as a Leveling role reward at a level an active member reaches in about a month, so the role means presence.

• Giveaways

  Run Giveaways from #giveaways with entry limited to the Regular role, so brand-new joins cannot sweep every draw.

• Welcomer

  Send a Welcomer message in #welcome that points new members to #rules and #pick-your-games before anything else.
