Use nickname instead of username for discord messages #47

Open OgelGames opened 4 years ago

Not sure if this is possible, but it would reduce the confusion for players that have a discord username that is different from their in-game name, but have changed their discord nickname to be the same. (for example myself)

Sounds actually good, any ideas how to deal with the registering of the nickname and to prevent "name-takeovers"? A possible solution would be some kind of verification in the game or discord/irc direction, similar to the /mail_tan or /wiki_tan commands. Storage-wise i would use the mod-storage, the data isn't really big and not changing that much...

Maybe instead of just using the discord nickname, you could link your discord username to your in-game name using a TAN.

For instance, you would get a TAN with /discord_tan, then you would DM the discord bot with your in-game name and the TAN, then any messages sent from that account would use the in-game name instead of the username.
