FeaturesWaifus
Waifus in EllieBot
Members opt in as waifus, other members back them as fans, and someone buys the manager position. Every day the waifu, the manager and the fans all share the returns, in Ellie Cash.
Waifus, fans and managers
A waifu opts in with .waifuoptin, which costs 10,000 Ellie Cash by default, and earns a fee from every payout.
A fan backs one waifu at a time with .waifuback. Their bank balance is their backing power, so it isn't spent, and the more they hold the more they earn. Backing another waifu switches to them.
A manager buys the position with .waifubuy and earns a cut of the waifu's fee. Members can manage several waifus, but not themselves.
.waifuoptin- Opt in as a waifu.
.waifuback- Back a waifu as a fan, or stop backing.
.waifubuy- Buy a waifu's manager position.
.waifu- Show a waifu's stats, fans and returns.
.waifuhelp- Show a short overview of the game.
.waifuoptout- Leave the game. You must have no fans backing you.
Buying the manager position
A bid has to be at least 115% of the waifu's current price, and it becomes their new price. Waifus start at 1,000 Ellie Cash, so the first bid is at least 1,150.
The previous manager gets back up to the old price. The waifu gets half of whatever is left, and the other half is gone for good.
A waifu only earns while they have a manager, and without one their price falls 10% every cycle. .waifuresign gives up the position with no refund, and drops the price to the minimum.
.waifubuy- Bid for a manager position.
.waifuresign- Give up a manager position, with no refund.
.waifulist- List the waifus you or another member manage.
.waifuleaderboard- Show the top waifus, by backing or by price.
How the payouts work
Every day, EllieBot works out the returns from a waifu's backing: their fans' combined bank balances, counted up to 1,000,000, at a rate of 17% a year by default.
The waifu takes their fee from that, 1% to 5% as they choose with .waifufee, and the manager gets 15% of the fee. Everything else goes to the fans, shared by how much each one has in the bank.
Payouts wait until you collect them with .waifupayout.
.waifupayout- See your pending payouts and collect them.
.waifufee- Set your fee, from 1% to 5%.
.waifufans- Show a waifu's fans and what they earned last cycle.
Keep your waifu happy
A waifu has a mood and a food stat, from 0 to 1000. Both start at 500 and drop by 1 every two hours. Returns depend on them: a waifu at 500 and 500 pays half of what one at 1000 and 1000 pays.
.hug, .kiss and .pat raise mood, and .nom raises food. Each member can do this twice a day by default, and not to themselves.
Members can also spend Ellie Cash on gifts. .waifugiftshop shows what is on sale, which changes every day at 00:00 UTC.
.hug- Hug a waifu to raise their mood.
.kiss- Kiss a waifu to raise their mood more.
.pat- Pat a waifu to raise their mood a little.
.nom- Feed a waifu to raise their food.
.waifugiftshop- Show today's gifts.
.waifugift- Give a waifu a gift to raise their mood or food.

Questions about waifus
Do I lose my cash when I back a waifu?
No - backing costs nothing, and your flowers stay in your bank. EllieBot only reads your bank balance when a cycle starts. You can take them out with .bank withdraw at any time, and they stop counting from the next cycle
Why does my waifu earn nothing?
A waifu earns only while it has a manager, and its returns go down with its mood and food. Check its card with .waifu @someone.
How do I leave the waifu system?
Type .waifuoptout. You can leave only when no fans back you, and your manager loses the position
What happens to claiming waifus?
Claiming is now buying the manager position. The old commands still work: .wclaim runs .waifubuy and .wdivorce runs .waifuresign.
Can I change the prices and rates on my own bot?
Yes - on a bot you host yourself, the prices, rates, limits and gifts are in data/waifu.yml. The numbers on this page are the defaults. The fee range of 1% and 5% is fixed.
