In a counting channel your members count up together, one number per message. The bot ticks every right number, and you decide what a wrong one costs: the count starts over, or the message is simply removed.

What you will end up with
In your channel: 41, 42 and 43 from three members, each ticked by the bot.

Where to find it
Open the dashboard, pick your server and choose Counting in the sidebar (on a phone: under Features in the bar at the bottom). That is two clicks from your server list. You can also press Ctrl K anywhere in the dashboard and type the name.
Step 1: Open Counting, pick the channel and switch it on
In the dashboard, pick your server and choose Counting in the sidebar. Pick the Channel and switch the feature on. A channel of its own works best.

Step 2: Choose the rules
Under Rules of the game, choose what a wrong number does: Starts the count over is the classic game, Is removed keeps the count. Leave Let a member count twice in a row off and it takes at least two people. Numbers only removes every message that is not a number. Then save.
Tip
The bot needs Add Reactions for the ticks and Manage Messages to remove messages. Server Check tells you when one is missing.

Step 3: Members count
Somebody writes 1, somebody else 2, and so on. A message counts when it is the next number and nothing else. When a count breaks, the bot says who broke it, where it stood and what the record is. The page shows the count and the record.
Important
Only whole numbers count: 12 does, “twelve” and 12! do not.

Something not working?
The problems people run into most often, and how to fix each one.
The bot does not tick numbers
It needs View Channel, Read Message History and Add Reactions in the channel, and Tick every right number has to be on. In a very fast count single ticks can be left out; the number still counted.
The count started over although the number was right
The member who wrote it had also written the number before. Nobody counts twice in a row unless you allow it under Rules of the game.
Messages disappear from the channel
Numbers only removes everything that is not a number, and with Is removed wrong numbers go too. Switch them off to let people chat between numbers.
I picked another channel
The count starts at 1 in the new channel. The record stays.
Ask in the ZombyIO support server. Bring your support ID, your server’s support ID and a sentence about what you expected to happen, and someone will look at it with you.
