Considering also using Rich Embeds for actual buttons under the embed, however I am unsure whether or not they exist in Discord.py.

Updates:

• Buttons on a Rich Embed are possible using the Discord Components package. Managed to get a skeleton working of how the Chohan game is going to look
• Update cycles are working as intended. There may be the opportunity to allow the bot to asyncio.sleep(1) instead of checking the time difference so often, however that is IFF the bot can accept input during a sleep. I imagine that's the whole point of Async Tasks, but you never know what kind of limitations a single core machine can have.
