the pot cooks while you watch

the pot is on. it's how the soups that aren't a hero's are got now, and it cooks on its own.

🍲you're in with a !soup

your first !soup of the night puts you in tonight's game. from then on, every one of zach's matches you're there for drops two ingredients into your pot: one for how it ended (blessed for a win, cursed for a loss) and one for how he played (spicy on 34 kills or more, salty on 10 deaths or more, light on 4 or fewer, hearty for the rest). a quad or his MVP drops a wild, which stands in for any flavour. a match that ended before you typed is gone, the way a square that lit before your ticket was dealt is.

ingredients keep from night to night. !pot shows yours.

📰it cooks itself

a recipe is one number: that many of the soup's own flavour. five for a common, ten for an uncommon, fifteen for a rare, twenty-five for an epic, thirty-five for a legendary. wilds fill what's missing. when you hold enough, the soup cooks at the end of the match, goes on your shelf, and waits under a lid on your pot page until you lift it. a rare or better is announced without its name, so the reveal is still yours. !pot lift takes the lids off in chat if you can't wait.

with nothing pinned the pot cooks the cheapest soup you don't have. !pot pin tomato pins a soup: the pot saves that flavour and your wilds for it and cooks the other flavours from what you have. !pot pin random picks one for you, !pot pin off lets the pot choose. the page has the whole list to pin from, with how close you are.

📰the games overlap now

a !soup while the match is on now takes the treat at the door for you, so one word puts you in the pot, hands you the hero soup and answers the door. want the dare instead? !trick after it, and the treat goes back.

answering a match's door on the street counts as being there for it. a SOUP on your ticket drops a wild into your pot, once a night. a full-size bar at the door is a wild too. the ticket has new squares: HAUNTED, FULL-SIZE BAR, JEFF ANSWERS, SOMETHING COOKS, RARE COOK, and ORDER UP once the quests open. the quests know the pot: pin a soup, cook one, cook three.

🍲the soup you hold

once xp and broth come by the match, the soup in your hands pays you when a match goes its way: if one of the match's two flavours is your soup's flavour, you're paid on top of the paycheck everyone there gets. a flavour that comes up less pays more when it does, and the rarer the soup, the more it pays. a flavour is a role, what you root for, and a soup is a speciality inside it.
