[Werewolf - Check own idles]
A new command was just added to werewolf, to check your own idle (AFK) deaths in the last 24 hours! Up to this point, only group admins could get someone's idles with the /getidles command, now you can simply send /myidles to one of the werewolf bots to find out how often you died of AFK within the last 24 hours. This can be relevant for you in groups where you get warned / tempbanned for a certain number of AFKs, so you can check whether or not you can afford joining the game at all.

Note: an AFK death counts in these stats 24 hours from when it happened. AFK deaths are NOT reset daily at a certain time, like many people used to think.

Happy wuffing 🐺

Just a heads up, we are moving to a new server shortly. Once we start the move, we will backup the current database, move it to the new server (it's 30 GB, will take a bit...), restore it, then kill the current werewolf bots and restart them on the new server (and hope everything is configured correctly...)

How this effects you:
Once we do the backup, any games, achievements, settings, anything you do will NOT be saved until we start it up on the new server.

Basically: you can still use werewolf, but nothing will be saved.
This message will be updated as we progress.

Backup
Transfer
Restore (this part takes awhile)
Kill beta bot, restart on new server
Test
Kill main bot, restart on new server

Server move has been completed, enjoy :)

...wasn't responding to startgame / startchaos commands for some minutes, the issue should be fixed now :) :P
In early March 2016, a great big grey wolf named Para came up with an idea for a new Telegram bot. He wanted to be able to play a cool game that he didn’t get the chance to play at a convention. So, on March 18th he started working on it, and created a bot that is now known as one of the most popular game bots on telegram, and is called Werewolf Moderator!

* Timejump - Two years later *

Today, we're celebrating the second anniversary of @werewolfbot! For this special occasion we are giving away custom GIF packs, which normally require a donation of $10USD or more. The top 5 players who win the most werewolf games today, Sunday the 18th of March 2018 (UTC), will receive a custom GIF pack for free!

Games only count for this event if they started AND ended on 18 March in the UTC timezone. Players who already have a custom GIF pack are excluded from the giveaway.

Have fun, happy wuffing 🐺, happy winning 🎉 and good luck earning your custom gif pack!

[Werewolf anniversary event - Update]
As we've already found many people cheating for the giveaway, as in people who do not playing games but only start and join a game and then end it by fleeing/smiting, we would like to let you know that we will exclude such people from the giveaway as well, because it is contrary to the spirit of the giveaway. We'd like you to play and have fun, not to join a game and end it without playing.

Happy wuffing, from
Your GreyWolf Team

Due to the many node crashes the last days, we're going to reboot the werewolf server now. Right now, you can't start new games, as soon as all running games ended, the server will be restarted and you can continue playing. Thanks for your patience! :)
The server is back up, you can play again! Happy wuffing! 🐺
The Werewolf Moderator is having large issues at the moment. Please DO NOT USE COMMANDS so it can catch up as quickly as possible. If we find you spamming the bot in stress times like this, you will be globally banned from playing werewolf forever. We will let you know when it's back up, thanks for your patience.

P.S.: Beta works. You can play in the main group (werewolfgame) or other groups that are allowed to use the beta bot.
All games on the main bot have now finally finished. Putting beta under a short maintenance for another server reboot now and hope everything works afterwards :D
The server has been restarted. You can play games on both bots but there might be issues again. Since we do not know any reason for the issues yet, we assume it's telegram's bot API acting weird but the problem might also be on our side. Let's hope everything works fine now and Happy Wuffing! 🐺
[Clash of Clans Manager Bot]
I tossed a new function into the @ccmgtbot - A list of rankings for players in your clan.

Basically, your score out of 100 is based on how many stars you gain for the clan (40%), how many stars your bases gives up (30%), the average rank of the bases you attack (10%), the average rank of the bases that attack you (5%), the number of times your bases is attacked vs. the highest number of defenses any one base has on your side of the war (5%), and the remaining 10% is available from either getting attacked and not giving up any stars, or just not being attacked at all.

Use /rankings to see the list for your clan


Please note - this won't do anything if you haven't used the bot before, you need to register your clan with the bot then run a war
[Werewolf Easter Update]
During the last weeks, our development team has put very much efford in designing 7 new roles as suggested on GitHub in the role suggestion thread. The following roles will be released within the next few hours as Werewolf 4.3!

Village Team
Lycan: Normal villager but seer sees them as a wolf. 

Pacifist: Cannot vote to lynch, but may block a shot from either the Gunner or the Hunter, sacrificing themself in the process but preventing the kill. 

Wise Old Man: If the wolves kill them, they survive once - the second time they can eat him up. If any village team player kills them with special ability, they lose their powers out of sorrow and are converted to a normal villager.

Negative Seer: Each night, investigate like the seer, but the result is "(player) is NOT a (random role still in the game)"

Sandman: Once per game, make all players sleep so deeply that nobody can use their night actions


Wolf Team
Wolf Man: Normal werewolf but seer sees them as a villager. 


Other Team
Thief: At night, they choose a player to "steal" the role. That player will become the new thief and can "steal" a role the next night. If you are thief by the end of the game, you lose.

When we are done testing the update and it's really stable, we will release it for you and of course let you know about it. Stay tuned and happy wuffing! 🐺

P.S.: The ideas for the roles were taken from the role suggestion thread which can be found here: https://github.com/GreyWolfDev/Werewolf/issues/141
[Clash of Clans Manager]
If you just got a message saying your clan may have set its war log to private, this is because I had to connect to a VPN and the Clash of Clans API is blocking the new IP address. When I disconnect, I'll let you know, and everything should be back to normal
