AutoTribe
Put every tribeless player into their own tribe automatically, with a randomly generated name.
Any player who spawns, respawns, transfers in, or leaves a tribe without a tribe is queued and placed into a fresh solo tribe. No database, no commands, no ongoing management. Players are free to rename or leave afterwards, and leaving just re-queues them.

What AutoTribe Does
- Covers every entry point: first spawn, respawn, transfer arrival, and leaving or being kicked from a tribe.
- Generated names: pulled from your own word lists in the
[Opener] [Adjective] [Adjective] [Noun]format, with both adjectives always different. - Name length cap: names over
MaxNameLengthare rejected and redrawn, so nothing gets truncated in game. - No orphan tribes: creation requests made while the engine still holds the old tribe are rejected cleanly and simply retried.
- On screen notice: configurable message and colour shown once the player has actually landed in a tribe.
- Config hot reload: both
config.jsonandwords.jsonapply within 10 seconds, no restart.
Commands
