There are a few groups that have added @serasbot.... I'd like to request them to please remove it from their groups. That is the developers personal bot, and due to high volume the bot is hitting API limits for some functions, which is costing money. Please remove it from your group if the developer is not in that group. Besides the API limits, @serasbot also uses the same database as @werewolfbot - your use of it in your group slows down the database, which causes problems for @werewolfbot.
"Werewolf kalimantan"
"Asprak Asprak Serigala"
"SERIngGALAu"
"Werewolf Party"
and any other groups

In other news -
I have increased max games to 80, as well as added so more monitoring so I can try to figure out why the bot stops responding at certain points.

I think I finally found the reason the bot stops responding. I had some rogue threads that weren't getting stopped properly.... each game. (right now, the bot has 574 threads open.... WAY too many!)

This update will *hopefully* take care of that

I'm happy to say, with this latest update, thread count at max games is staying at ~180, CPU utilization is staying under 10%. This is a big win for @werewolfbot!

Coming update:
In fixing the thread issue, I killed a message queue thread too early, which caused the bot to not send it's final messages (for example, game cancelled due to not enough players). This will fix that.

Also fixing the 1 on 1 Cultist vs Villager neverending game in chaos mode... :)

Alright, this is the update many of you admins have been waiting for. I've added a new command for you: /togglenotify
Using this command, you can disable the "I am online" message from the bot at startup :D
Enjoy!

We've hit #3 on the top games in the bot store! XD

By the way, it has been asked where donations go. At the moment, they are going right back into the bot - I am commissioning various artists to create new graphics for the bot - new avatar, new channel image, banners and such for the website, etc. Oh, there's also a sticker pack on the way!

I need your help players - the bot is under attack in the store right now. Someone / Some group is giving the bot tons of 1 star ratings, dropping it off the main chart fast. It was at ~4.8 stars, now down to 4.1. If you can spare a moment, hit this link and rate / review @werewolfbot:

... You are all awesome, I love you :)

Have you played your werewolf today? Have some stickers :) (more to come!)

We are testing stability today. I have increased max concurrent games to 100... currently 94 games running, still going strong.

alright, time to increase some of the logging, going to get rid of those pesky errors like
The transaction operation cannot be performed because there are pending requests working on this transaction.
Sequence contains more than one matching element
and such. Can't do that though without some proper logging output

Everyone - Images from Indonesia / Malaysia area will not load for me (US). If you need to report an issue, please use something else like gyazo, or forward the text to me.

Hmmm.. Another update? What's in this one?
First off- fixed a bug where non vote counter isn't reset. Previously, if you didn't lynch 2 times throughout a game, you'd be killed. This has been patched, you must miss 2 lynch votes in a row.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!!

Introducing the Masons!
The masons are a new role. It's actually a quite simple role - you know who each other are. That's it.
"But... that doesn't help us?"
Except it does. This means that 3 of the villagers automatically know who each other are. Seer spots one of you, then that mason can say "Hey, the other masons are x and y".

This should help balance larger games a little more towards the village :)

Masons are included at 25 players for normal games, and always in chaos games.

Also updated: If you are a wolf, cult member, or mason -
When the bot tells you who your team is, it will also tell you their @username so you can click it to PM them. Just remind your friends to set a username :)
