well, despite the fact that we beta tested ALL DAY, when 2.0 went online it didn't work as well as it should have, so we are back tracking to 1.1 while I go over everything.

Ok, I poured over the 2.0 code all morning. @serastestbot is back online for testing, I really need some large groups to help test as they will flood it the most. If anyone would like to help beta test v2.0, simple remove @werewolfbot and add @serastestbot.

Again, @serastestbot is a different bot, so you have to PM the bot and hit start if you haven't already

Also, there are >100 games in the queue... @serastestbot has no queue :P

Beta Bot 2.0 Update:
Fixed players list showing roles when roles are set to be hidden (secret mode)

Beta Bot 2.0 Update:
Node Version 2.0.5984.20648
Once you are dead, you should be able to join a second game without waiting on first game to end

Update:
Node version 2.0.5984.21241
- Wild Child is now told when they are out of time to choose their role model
- Game will give Wild Child the full night cycle to decide

Control version 2.0.5984.21402
/version will now tell you the node version as well (if your group is in a game.. otherwise, you aren't connected to a node)

To be clear: Beta bot does not have access to the gifs @werewolfbot uses, so there will be no GIFs while running the beta.

Ok, trying this again. @werewolfbot is now version 2.0, try it out :)

With 2.0, I will be wiping all individual player stats from 1.1, since things have changed a good bit

Bot 2.0 update:
Control version 2.0.5985.17507
Adding the bot to the group will now add you as admin for the bot. If you need admin rights so you can set language / other options, remove the bot and add it back in.

use /version at any time to check versions

If you are liking the 2.0 update, with no queues and no maintenance breaks, take a moment to rate it in the bot store :)

If you are still getting the message from the bot asking you to PM it when you join, go ahead and do so now. I just updated it, it will update the database correctly now

Just updated the bot, hopefully it will fix the issue of votes / joins not passing through sometimes.

By the way, I keep seeing this....
@werewolfbot is NOT a person. It is simply a bot that runs the game. Asking it how it is, trying to have a conversation with it, will not do anything, except show up in my error reports.

I cannot however see your username, so no, I can't respond to you. Sending messages to the bot to try to talk to the dev will not work either.

Database cleanup is underway, this time without causing lag to the system (but also, going to take ~4 hours on my end, because I'm pacing it so as not to interrupt games)

Please note, your group may lose some of the custom settings. If you notice any settings change, just use /config to put them back.

Database clean up is complete. Again, group admins - please check your group settings to make sure everything is still correct. Also check that everyone still has admin rights (that should).

I will be updating the bot soon to use the new Telegram bot API components, including knowing how group admins are - no more needing to manually add group admins after that!

If you still have @serastestbot in your group, please ask an admin (of your group) to remove it.

Just so everyone knows: hate speech, harassing, etc will not be tolerated. If I see screenshots of you telling people they should die, making sexist / homophobic comments to them, anything completely disgusting as such - I will not hesitate to ban you from @werewolfbot, globally. I do not like banning people, and rarely do it, but some people are about to find out, I will do it when needed.

(a global ban means you can't play werewolf, in ANY group)
