Fool's Mode
Fool's Mode is a special, occasional state in Super-Shiritori in which the bot's word validation is deliberately loosened for comedic effect, traditionally run around April Fools' Day. It is not an automatically scheduled event: it is switched on and off by the bot's operator directly, through a console-only toggle rather than any player-facing command, so its actual active window in a given year is whatever the operator sets it to rather than something enforced by the bot's own code.
Historical Availability
The mode's first-ever run, in 2025, is recorded in Korea Standard Time; every other zone below is mathematically converted from that same recorded window, not separately reported. Standard (non-daylight-saving) offsets are used throughout for consistency, so a region observing daylight saving time on these dates may see its actual local clock read an hour later than listed.
| Timezone | Start (April 1) | End (April 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Hawaii Time (UTC−10) | 12:30 PM (Mar 31) | 3:30 AM |
| Pacific Time (UTC−8) | 2:30 PM (Mar 31) | 5:30 AM |
| Mountain Time (UTC−7) | 3:30 PM (Mar 31) | 6:30 AM |
| Central Time (UTC−6) | 4:30 PM (Mar 31) | 7:30 AM |
| Eastern Time (UTC−5) | 5:30 PM (Mar 31) | 8:30 AM |
| UTC / GMT (UTC±0) | 10:30 PM (Mar 31) | 1:30 PM |
| Central European Time (UTC+1) | 11:30 PM (Mar 31) | 2:30 PM |
| Eastern European Time (UTC+2) | 12:30 AM | 3:30 PM |
| India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) | 4:00 AM | 7:00 PM |
| China Standard Time (UTC+8) | 6:30 AM | 9:30 PM |
| Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) | 7:30 AM | 10:30 PM |
| Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) — base, first occurrence in 2025 | 7:30 AM | 10:30 PM |
| Australian Eastern Time (UTC+10) | 8:30 AM | 11:30 PM |
Outside of whatever window the operator has it enabled for in a given year, every feature below behaves normally.
Current Schedule
Following the operator's relocation to Hawaii, the anchor for the schedule has shifted: the next occurrence of Fool's Mode is expected to run from 10:00 AM April 1st to 9:30 PM April 2nd, Hawaii Time, rather than the Korea-based window the mode first launched under. Every other zone below is converted from this new Hawaii-anchored window, using the same standard (non-daylight-saving) offsets as the historical table above.
| Timezone | Start (April 1) | End |
|---|---|---|
| Hawaii Time (UTC−10) — base | 10:00 AM | 9:30 PM (April 2) |
| Pacific Time (UTC−8) | 12:00 PM (noon) | 11:30 PM (April 2) |
| Mountain Time (UTC−7) | 1:00 PM | 12:30 AM (April 3) |
| Central Time (UTC−6) | 2:00 PM | 1:30 AM (April 3) |
| Eastern Time (UTC−5) | 3:00 PM | 2:30 AM (April 3) |
| UTC / GMT (UTC±0) | 8:00 PM | 7:30 AM (April 3) |
| Central European Time (UTC+1) | 9:00 PM | 8:30 AM (April 3) |
| Eastern European Time (UTC+2) | 10:00 PM | 9:30 AM (April 3) |
| India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) | 1:30 AM (April 2) | 1:00 PM (April 3) |
| China Standard Time (UTC+8) | 4:00 AM (April 2) | 3:30 PM (April 3) |
| Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) | 5:00 AM (April 2) | 4:30 PM (April 3) |
| Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) | 5:00 AM (April 2) | 4:30 PM (April 3) |
| Australian Eastern Time (UTC+10) | 6:00 AM (April 2) | 5:30 PM (April 3) |
This schedule is not a confirmed, permanent policy. It reflects a claim from the bot's owner, Ghost, that the Hawaii-anchored timing is expected to hold for roughly the next three years — into approximately 2030 — but the owner has not treated this as a firm commitment, and it should be read as a stated expectation rather than a guarantee.
Gameplay Changes
While active, a word played in a live multiplayer game is accepted as a valid turn as long as it contains no spaces — dictionary membership is no longer checked at all. Turn order and the letter-chaining rule are otherwise unaffected, and a word containing a space is still rejected as normal.
!i / !info Changes
The word-inspection command becomes deliberately unreliable for any word that isn't actually in the dictionary (a genuinely valid word still displays normally):
- Validity is shown as "✅ Valid word (trust me bro)" regardless of the truth.
- Categories are replaced with between 1 and 25 items drawn at random from a fixed pool of joke categories — among them "AI Generated," "Words Some crackhead Invented," "Waffle House Approved," "Japanese Romanized somehow," "Jellyfish Legalese," "Quantum Machanics," "typoes," and roughly twenty other similarly absurd entries.
- Player counts are randomized rather than looked up: a "server" count between 1 and 100, and a "global" count randomly chosen to always be higher than the fake server count (up to 10,000).
- Several additional fields appear that only exist in this mode: whether you played the word ("Idk maybe?"), who last played it in the channel (always "Dave"), a fabricated source (drawn from a list including "Totally Real Dictionary (Trust Me)" and "404 Not Found Glossary," with a random reference number), a "Confidence" percentage that can run negative or over 100%, a count of "People who *swear* they played it," and a "Stats Impact" field that always reads "None (not in main dictionary)."
/check Changes
Every word is reported as playable. A genuinely valid word is still marked with ✅; a word that fails the real dictionary check is marked with a different checkmark (☑️) instead of the usual ❌, but the accompanying text reads "is playable!" either way — the differing emoji is the only visible tell.
End-of-Game Screen Changes
The game-summary embed's dictionary coverage line is replaced with a nonsensical value in the form 1/Ω (x%), where x is chosen at random from a fixed set of mathematically meaningless expressions: -e^π, -e^42, -∞, NaN, -1.#IND, -e^(iπ), and -√-1.
Notes
Fool's Mode is purely cosmetic and comedic; none of its output reflects real dictionary accuracy, player data, or statistics, and normal behavior resumes as soon as the operator toggles it back off.
