Free + paid Cousin Discord Linker 1.0

CousinDiscordLinker — ARK: Survival Ascended Plugin
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Force players to link their Discord before playing on your server.
No more anonymous players. Know exactly who is who at all times.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When a new player logs in, they automatically receive an in-game orange notification with a unique 6-character code. They must go to your Discord and type /verify <code> to link their account. If they don't verify within your configured time limit — they get kicked.

Once linked, their survivor name, EOS ID, Discord username, and Discord ID are stored permanently in your MySQL database.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

INCLUDED DISCORD BOT — COMMANDS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Discord bot is available here for free : https://github.com/dodocousin/CousinDiscordbotLinker

Player commands:
/verify <code> — Link Discord to in-game account using the code received in-game
/myinfos — View your linked account: survivor name, EOS ID, tribe & stats (if enabled)
/unlink — Unlink your Discord account

Admin commands (role-gated):
/whois eosid <eosid> — Look up a player by EOS ID
/whois discordname <name> — Look up a player by Discord username

All replies are ephemeral — only the user who ran the command sees the response.
