Essential Knowledge for PGN:U Staff | Getting Player's Information

How to Get Player's Information

This section describes the methods for obtaining a player's information, such as their Discord ID or In-Game Name (IGN).

Method 1: PGN Logs Discord Server

  1. Note the player's In-Game Name (IGN) while in the game server.
  2. Go to the PGN Logs Discord server.
  3. Use the Discord search function. It's recommended to limit the search to the #join-logs channel for better results.
  4. Enter the player's IGN into the search bar.
  5. Matching logs will appear, often showing the player's Discord UID connecting with that IGN. Copy the Discord UID from the relevant log entry.

Tip: This method also works in reverse. If you have a Discord UID, you can search the logs to find associated IGNs.

Method 2: Staff Bot Command (PGN:U Discord)

  1. Go to the #staff-bot-commands channel in the main PGN:U Discord server.
  2. Use the command: ?whois [Discord UID] (replace `[Discord UID]` with the actual ID you obtained).
  3. The bot will respond with information about the user, including their civilian rank, roles, and potentially other details.
