Discord Roles

The Discord has, as of this writing, over 80 roles, many of them with totally obscure meanings. This article is an effort to gather what information there is on what the different roles are. This may get out of date fast.

Part of the exercise here is to just try and figure out what all the roles mean/meant, and if they're still necessary

## Pronouns

These roles are intended to indicate the preferred pronouns of the user, although whether they're fit for purpose (i.e whether people see them or not) is unclear

* they/them
* she/her
* he/him
* No Pronouns(Use Name)
	+ not being used by anyone at this time
* vam/vamp/vamps
	+ ? Not really sure what this one is about

	+ The anime club streams anime regularly in the discord
	+ Anyone can join!

	+ Club for playing MTG:Arena
	+ We were going to try and play tournaments or similar, but never got around to it

## Piss Pig Roles

These roles all somehow refer to fans of BOS, who are referred to as "Piss Pigs" as a running in-joke.

* Piss Pig
	+ Anyone can assign this role, and it is the most common role on the discord
* 1 YEAR VETERAN
	+ Theoretically for if you've been a fan for over a year?
* Pay Pig
	+ Theoretically for "Pay Pigs", i.e those who support BOS on Discord, although in practice you do not need to support the patreon in order to assign this role, nor does being a patreon subscriber automatically grant the role.

* $$$ PAY PIG SUWEEEE $$$
	+ As with Pay Pig, but more ostentatious
* Piss Piggy Rose'
	+ people who are boosting the server
	+ I don't know how this role is assigned, it is above my paypig grade

## Podcast Related Roles

Roles granted to people due to their relation to the podcast

* Guest of the pod
	+ granted to people who are in the discord and also have been featured as a guest on the pod
	+ I think there are people who are in the discord and don't have this role, add them if ya see em
* BOS-verse podcaster
	+ given to people who run podcasts that are talked about in the pod-pals channel
