v2.3.0 Released October 8, 2026 Vortigern Factions v1.2.0

Faction progression

Factions can now reward activity with points, keep a record of promotions, demotions and infractions, link ranks to Discord roles, and see how the faction is doing on a new analytics page.

At a glance

  • Points for attending and hosting deployments and trainings, and for approved self-deployments
  • Log promotions, demotions and infractions, with the member told and their roles updated
  • Link ranks to Discord roles, and import a roster from the roles you already have
  • Faction Pulse shows recruiting, attendance and roster growth over time
  • See who else is on a dashboard page and what they are editing

New10

  • Points. Members earn points for attending deployments and trainings (fewer if they turn up late), for hosting them, and for self-deployment time a leader approves. Leaders can add or remove points by hand with a reason, and the roster can be sorted by points.
  • Ranks & points. Set how many points each rank needs, and the roster shows who is ready to promote.
  • Promotions, demotions and infractions. A new Records page logs each one with a reason — infractions from a verbal warning up to removal from the faction. Each kind can post to its own channel, DM the member and update their Discord roles, and a mistaken record can be voided.
  • Link ranks to Discord roles. Pick a role for each rank and Vortigern Factions keeps members' roles in step, with an optional rank tag in their nickname. Sync everyone at once, or import a roster from the Discord roles your members already hold.
  • A profile for every member. Open someone on the roster to see their points, records, activity and a leadership note.
  • Faction Pulse. An analytics page showing how the faction is recruiting, showing up and holding together over 7, 30, 90 or 365 days, with roster growth and a CSV export.
  • Self deployments. Members clock their own time with /deploy start and /deploy end, finishing with a screenshot. Leaders approve or reject it from Discord or the Deployments page, and approved time earns points.
  • An image library and banner maker. Upload an image once, name it, and use {name} in any image field. Nine banner templates — Welcome, Deployment, Training, Raid, Tryouts, Rules, Announcement, Event and Promotion — put your faction's name on a banner and save it to the library.
  • Card embeds and a formatting toolbar. Embeds can use a card layout with the banner on top and a thumbnail beside the text, and the editor has buttons for headings, bold, italics, spoilers, quotes, lists, code and links.
  • See who else is on a page. Dashboard pages show who else has them open and what they are editing, and tell you when someone saves a change, so two people do not overwrite each other.

Improved3

  • A faction overview that tells you what needs doing — waiting applications, a switched-off bot, closed recruitment, open appeals and members on leave.
  • Bigger rosters. Up to 3,000 members and 100 ranks, and renaming a rank carries its members across.
  • Faction changes are in the Audit Logs, with who made each one and when, and faction-only servers get Server Pulse from the faction bot.

Changed2

  • Each server type needs its own bot: Faction needs Vortigern Factions, and Site or Community needs Vortigern OS. The faction bot's invite now asks for Manage Roles and Manage Nicknames, for role sync.
  • /faction, /deployment, /deploy and /welcome only run in servers set up as a faction.

Privacy1

  • A server's data is erased only once neither Vortigern bot is in it — removing Vortigern OS no longer wipes a faction the faction bot still runs. Faction points and records are part of data export and erasure.
SCREEN TOO NARROW

This device is below Vortigern's supported size.

Vortigern is built for phones, tablets and computers. Your screen reports under 300px of width, so panels and controls will overflow and some pages will be hard to use.

Rotate the device or open Vortigern on a larger screen for the full interface.
