We again have an unknown issue with the werewolfbot, it does not start games. We are now waiting for all (or at least most) games to end, then we will reboot the server. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's back for now. We'll need to do further investigation on this.... Happy wuffing! 🐺

EDIT: The bot still has trouble. We will let you know when it's running well again.

Dear humans, wolves, angels, and all,

Our beloved Werewolf Moderator has had one too many Villager earlier this week, and has been feeling sick around the same time of day ever since.
He has now been taken to botspital, where paramedics and a monkey surgeon are gathering information, looking through old scrolls and pieces of parchment to cure our beloved Original Wuff.
The botspital staff have agreed for him to receive visits and to work from the botspital, but be warned that he might take a break some time each day.

Hoping you'll understand, and wish with us for him to recover as fast as possible, Grey Wolf Team.

tl;dr : bot is experiencing daily recurring hiccups, we are working on fixing that, sorry for the inconvenience

Our monkey has found, amongst the cooking scrolls and the parchments of cheap tricks, the contact details of WWbot's cousin, @werewolfbetabot.

We have sent an emissary to enter negotiations with him, and are pleased to announced he wasn't kicked in a well by some hot headed spartan punk.
Rather, he came back with good news. @WerewolfBetaBot has approved being added to groups when our venerable @WerewolfBot is too sick to work.
However, busy as he is, he will leave your group once @werewolfbot wakes up. Beta never liked the idea of custom gifs packs, so you won't be able to use those, but everything else should work just the same.
Happy Wuffing

Also,

send /donate to @werewolfbot to help WWbot afford botspital fees, living and housing expenses, including but not limited to property tax.

tl;dr while we are fixing the issue, any group can use beta bot. no custom gifs. beta will leave once the issues are fixed.

[Grey Wolf Executrix]

Executrix has just graduated from the Botwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is now, by law, allowed to use spells such as Silencio outside of the school grounds. Summon this new ability on annoying trolls and other hobglobins with the /mute command, or /tempmute . Once you feel they are worthy of speaking again, release them with /unmute.

Also, Executrix can use Revelio on images and gifs more effectively, to detect and react to NSFW content.

Now that Executrix is done with his studies, he's looking for help in learning new languages so he can travel around the world. If you wanna help with that, please notify us on @greywolfsupport.

Also, there are a few other improvements, including being able to link to you're groups rules, extra list, about, or admin list.

[Executrix - Captchas]
In order to avoid annoying spambot waves, @ExecutrixBot just got a new feature - captchas! You can enable "NewMemberCaptcha" in your group's /menu and it's ready. What it will do is simple: Upon joining the group, users are instantly muted. The welcome message will have a button that sends them to executrix' PM. There they need to start it and solve a captcha to confirm they are not a (user-)bot. Only after doing this, they are unmuted in the group. Note that this feature is a bit experimental - we have tested it successfully but something may fail at any time. So if someone is unable to solve the captcha, just /unmute them - and please let us know at @greywolfsupport (with the captcha from the bot and the solving attempts from the user)!

[Captcha Improvements]
Executrix' captchas have been improved! They will now have 4 times the size than before and a darker font, so they are really easier to read. Also, if you join a group and solve the captcha there once, you don't have to solve it again if you join the same group again. Enjoy!

[Executrix Updates]
A summary about @ExecutrixBot's new updates regarding captchas, as well as admin groups can be found here: https://telegra.ph/Executrix-Updates-22082018-08-22

[Teaser]
Werewolf updates are on their way to the main bot... stay tuned! However, we need to restart the bot's server first. For now, you can't start games on @werewolfbot. When we restart the server, all our bots except for Executrix will be down for a short moment... To come back with new features!

With the server restart, we ran into some issues with the database that we need to sort out... Sorry, but the bots are now down for an undetermined time. If we know anything new, we will of course let you know! Be aware we are trying hard to bring the wolves back to you 🐺

Thanks to our Development Head's hard work, the bots are back, and updated! Enjoy the update to @werewolfbot, and read its details here: https://telegra.ph/Werewolf-43-Updates-08-23

If you encounter any issues or bugs with the update, please approach @greywolfsupport. Now thanks for your patience and happy wuffing 🐺!

[Executrix Flood Issues]
Since exeutrix' server stopped working overnight, it got temporarily moved to another server. Now we just moved it back to its original server - and suddenly it started punishing people for flood for no reason. This was because the server time of the original server was wrong - it has been set correctly and now it should work again. If you're still having issues with executrix, please approach @greywolfsupport. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Database Issues]
And this time, it's our other bot: Executrix!
She's having problems with connecting to her database, so she is temporarily down. The developers are investigating on the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Edit: We made a backup of the database and moved it elsewhere, now Executrix is running fine again :)

[Werewolf Update]
We have another update for the @werewolfbot - Finally we have all 7 roles from the april fool's together! Yes: The Thief 😈 found his way to the game! Since another stability update also requires all games to end on the main bot, you can use @werewolfbetabot in any groups UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. All these updates are already live on beta and will also be live on the main bot as soon as the updating process is finished. Enjoy! Read everything about the updates here:

https://telegra.ph/Werewolf-43-September-Updates-09-14

The process is done, the beta bot will leave your group again if you start a new game and the update is live on @werewolfbot. Enjoy, and Happy Wuffing 🐺!

[Executrix Update]
We have been fighting with the code a bit in the last hours (That's why @ExecutrixBot was down for a little bit, and setting extra commands or group welcomes might have not worked in that time), but now we've fixed everything and proudly present you the new update!
You can now set anything as your group welcome - just like extras - for example, GIFs, documents, pictures with or without captions. Even locations or contacts, if you wish :D. To do so, just reply to the desired welcome message with /welcome or /welcome <caption>.

We have also done some bug fixes and slight improvements, as always. If you are willing to help us, and able to support us financially, we very much appreciate donations. They help us to keep our servers with our bots running, and also unlock badges and custom gif packs on @werewolfbot (see this post for more info) :D

Telegram does not seems to send updates to @werewolfbot properly at the moment, that's why the bot is currently down for a bit. You may use @werewolfbetabot for now. It will leave your group as soon as the main bot is recovered. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The @werewolfbot is working fine again, the beta bot will leave your group upon trying to start a new game! Happy Wuffing! 🐺

[Executrix Issues]

Executrix is currently under a lot of stress, and our developers are working very hard on solving the causes.
This may result in lags and downtimes, so we want to deeply apologise in advance.

Our users are and will always be our priority, so please bear with us while we do our best to solve these problems.

[Executrix Update]
New command: /warnkick
This can be used to both warn and kick a user with only one command 😁
Warnkick is also available as a button on @admin-reports, and as a punishment option (⚠➕👞) for long names, long messages, flood, illegal media, RTL text, etc.

If you want to help us by translating Executrix into another language, please come to @GreyWolfSupport! It currently supports English, German, Spanish and Persian. Thank you!

@ExecutrixBot now supports Dutch and Italian! 🎉 Thanks to the translators! If you want to translate Executrix to another language, please approach @GreyWolfSupport :D
