	~~== 🟠~~ Manual-Tori ==		'''Manual-Tori''' is a community-run fallback version of Shiritori, played entirely by the players themselves with no bot involvement at all. It only sees regular use while [[Super-Shiritori]] is offline, and has its own dedicated channels set aside for it in the Discord server. Where multiplayer Shiritori and even [[Fool's Mode]] still have a bot enforcing (or deliberately mis-enforcing) some standard of validity, Manual-Tori has no authority at all: there is no moderator adjudicating words, no consensus process, and no fixed standard for what counts as valid — just whatever reaction a word happens to get from whoever happens to see it.
	'''~~When~~ the bot ~~goes down~~, the ~~game doesn~~'~~t stop players keep Shiritori alive manually~~.~~'''~~

	==~~= 🔓~~ Getting Started ===		== Getting Started ==
	Manual-Tori is a community fallback mode that only runs while the ~~bot is offline~~.		No command starts a Manual-Tori session — there is nothing to start, since no bot is involved. Players simply begin posting words in one of the designated channels the same way they would in a normal multiplayer game. There is no validation step of any kind beyond the reactions other players choose to leave.

	* Players pick any ~~text channel (often~~ a ~~dedicated Shiritori space)~~.		== Rules ==
	* There's no ~~`/startshiritori` command~~ — just ~~begin posting words as in normal Shiritori~~.		Manual-Tori keeps only the loosest shell of Shiritori's structure, with no one actually enforcing any of it:
	* Instead of the ~~bot~~, ~~the community itself validates words by~~ reacting ~~to messages and using shared understanding of the rules~~.		# A word is meant to begin with the final letter of the previous word, but nothing stops a player from posting literally anything.
			# A word's fate is decided purely by reaction: a ✅ effectively marks it accepted, a ❌ marks it rejected, and a word that gets no reaction at all is simply left in limbo — nobody is obligated to resolve that ambiguity, and play often just continues past it regardless.
			# A repeated word only "breaks the chain" if someone happens to notice and react to call it out; nothing catches it automatically.
			# No player is supposed to take two turns in a row, but again, nothing actually enforces this beyond other players noticing and reacting.

	-~~---~~		== Community Moderation ==
			There is deliberately no moderation of word validity in Manual-Tori — no one steps in to settle a disputed word, break a tie, or rule on an edge case; whatever the reactions land on is simply what happened. The one and only exception is content moderation unrelated to word validity itself: genuinely inappropriate language (slurs and similar) is removed the same way it would be anywhere else in the server, on ordinary moderation grounds, not as a ruling on whether the "word" was valid Shiritori play.

	==~~= 🎮 How to Play =~~==		== Ending a Session ==
	Manual-Tori ~~follows~~ the ~~same word~~-~~chain rules as Multiplayer Shiritori, but entirely moderated by humans:~~		A Manual-Tori session ends when a repeated word is caught, when no one can think of a valid continuation, when the group simply decides to reset, or when the bot comes back online, at which point play reverts to normal multiplayer Shiritori. There is no automatic end-of-game summary; a session's history is only whatever the players themselves kept track of.

'''When the bot goes down, the game doesn't stop players keep Shiritori alive manually.'''

=== 🔓 Getting Started ===
Manual-Tori is a **community fallback mode** that only runs while the bot is offline.

* Players pick any text channel (often a dedicated Shiritori space).
* There's no `/startshiritori` command — just begin posting words as in normal Shiritori.
* Instead of the bot, the **community itself validates words** by reacting to messages and using shared understanding of the rules.

----

=== 🎮 How to Play ===
Manual-Tori follows the same word-chain rules as Multiplayer Shiritori, but entirely moderated by humans:

# '''Your word must start''' with the '''last letter''' of the previous word.
# '''No repeats!''' If someone notices a duplicate, the chain is considered broken.
# Validity is judged by **community agreement**:
#* Players react with ✅ if they agree it's valid
#* ❌ if it's invalid (misspelled, not a word, etc.)
# *Discussion is allowed* if unclear.
# '''No back-to-back turns.''' Let others play before you go again.
# Games are informal, but still follow the spirit of Shiritori — creative, valid word choices.

----

=== 🤝 Community Moderation ===
Since there's no bot:

* **Players self-check** each other's words.
* Disputes can be resolved by majority reaction or by moderators if needed.
* Edge cases (loanwords, obscure terms, extremely long words) are usually decided by **consensus**.

----

=== 🛑 Ending a Game ===
A Manual-Tori session ends if:

* A repeated word slips through and is caught
* No one can think of a valid continuation
* The group decides to reset
* Or, the bot comes back online (normal Shiritori resumes)

There are **no automatic summaries** — just whatever the players kept track of manually.

=== ⚠️ Tips & Etiquette ===

* '''Keep it casual.''' Manual-Tori is about having fun while the bot rests.
* '''React fairly.''' Don't downvote valid words just to mess with others.
* '''Communicate.''' If you're unsure, talk it out — community judgment is the rule here.
* '''Transition smoothly.''' Once the bot is back online, shift back to Multiplayer Shiritori to keep records consistent.
