Did you know that [the maximum number of sides](https://www.wired.com/2016/05/mathematical-challenge-of-designing-the-worlds-most-complex-120-sided-dice) for a mathematically fair dice is 120?
- For safety reasons, we temporarily limit what new users can do. You’ll gain [new abilities](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/) (and [badges](%{base_uri}/badges)) as we get to know you.
Cool! This will work for most <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-link.png" width="16" height="16"> links. Remember, it must be on a line _all by itself_, with nothing else in front, or behind.
Can you try again? Use the <kbd><b>B</b></kbd> bold or <kbd><i>I</i></kbd> italic buttons in the editor if you get stuck.
quoting:
instructions:|-
Can you try quoting me when you reply, so I know exactly which part you’re replying to?
> If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
>
> One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody’s listening.
>
> Some people have a way with words, and other people… oh, uh, not have way.
Select the text of whichever ↑ quote you prefer, and then press the **Quote** button that pops up over your selection – or the **Reply** button at the bottom of this post.
Hmm it looks like you didn’t quote me in your reply?
Selecting any text in my post will bring up the <kbd>**Quote**</kbd> button. And pressing **Reply** with any text selected will work, too! Can you try again?
If you’d like to learn more, select <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> below and <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-bookmark.png" width="16" height="16"> **bookmark this personal message**. If you do, there may be a :gift: in your future!
Excellent! Now you can easily find your way back to our private conversation any time, right from [the bookmarks tab on your profile](%{bookmark_url}). Just select your profile picture at the upper right ↗
Uh oh, I don’t see any bookmarks in this topic. Did you find the bookmark under each post? Use the show more <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> to reveal additional actions if needed.
You may have seen me use little pictures in my replies :blue_car::dash:those are called [emoji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji). Can you **add an emoji** to your reply? Any of these will work:
- Press the emoji button <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-smile.png" width="16" height="16"> in the editor, or on your mobile keyboard
(If you are on a mobile device, you can also enter Emoji directly from your keyboard, too.)
mention:
instructions:|-
Sometimes you might want to get a person’s attention, even if you aren’t replying to them directly. Type `@` then complete their user name to mention them.
Can you mention **`@%{discobot_username}`** in your reply?
(And yes, my user name is spelled _disco_, as in the 1970s dance craze. I do [love the nightlife!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_wGI3_sGf8) :dancer:)
We like our discussions friendly, and we need your help to [keep things civilized](%{guidelines_url}). If you see a problem, please flag to privately let the author or [our helpful staff](%{about_url}) know about it. There are many reasons you might want to flag a post, ranging from an innocuous topic-splitting suggestion to a clear-cut community standards violation. If you select **Something Else**, you'll start a private message discussion with the moderators where you can ask further questions.
Go ahead and **flag this post** <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-flag.png" width="16" height="16"> and select **It's Inappropriate** as the reason!
[Our staff](%{base_uri}/groups/staff) will be privately notified about your flag. If enough community members flag a post, it will also be automatically hidden as a precaution. (Since I didn’t actually write a nasty post :angel:, I’ve gone ahead and removed the flag for now.)
Oh no, my nasty post hasn’t been flagged as inappropriate yet. :worried:Can you flag it as inappropriate using the **flag** <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-flag.png" width="16" height="16">? Don’t forget to use the show more button <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> to reveal more actions for each post.
_psst_ … I’ve hidden a surprise in this topic. If you’re up for the challenge, **select the search icon** <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-search.png" width="16" height="16"> at the top right ↗, choose 'in this topic', then search for it.
Did you notice you’re now back at the beginning? Feed this poor hungry capybara by **replying with the `%{search_answer}` emoji** and you’ll be automatically taken to the end.
Hmm… looks like you might be having trouble. Sorry about that. Did you search <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-search.png" width="16" height="16"> for the term **capy​bara**?
That’s all for now! Check out [**our latest discussion topics**](%{base_uri}/latest) or [**discussion categories**](%{base_uri}/categories). :sunglasses:
As an _advanced_ user, have you visited [your preferences page](%{base_uri}/my/preferences) yet @%{username}? There are lots of ways to customize your experience, such as selecting a dark or light theme.
Note that edits made after 5 minutes will show up as public edit revisions, and a little pencil icon will appear at the upper right with the revision count.
delete:
instructions:|-
If you’d like to withdraw a post you made, you can delete it.
Go ahead and **delete** any of your posts above by using the <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-trash.png" width="16" height="16"> **delete** action. Don’t delete the first post, though!
I don’t see any deleted posts yet? Remember <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> show more will reveal <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-trash.png" width="16" height="16"> delete.
Can you do me a favor and <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-rotate-left.png" width="16" height="16"> **undelete** it?
Having trouble? Remember <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> show more will reveal <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-rotate-left.png" width="16" height="16"> undelete.
By default, the notification level for a private message is set to the highest level of 'watching', which means you’ll be notified of every new reply. But you can override the notification level for _any_ topic to 'watch', 'tracking' or 'muted'.
Let’s try changing the notification level for this topic. At the bottom of the topic, you’ll find a button which shows that you’re **watching** this topic. Can you change the notification level to **tracking**?
It looks like you’re still watching :eyes:this topic! If you’re having trouble finding it, the notification level button is located at the bottom of the topic.
Note that when you reply to a topic, or read a topic for more than a few minutes, it is automatically set to a notification level of 'tracking'. You can change this in [your user preferences](%{base_uri}/my/preferences).
Did you know you can add a poll to any post? Try using the <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear in the editor to **build a poll**.
Use the <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear icon in the editor, or copy and paste this poll in your next reply:
Can you use the <img src="%{base_uri}/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear in the editor to add a details section to your next reply?
