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)

Simplified Chinese has been added!
简体中文语言包已经添加！

Node version 2.0.5989.23193
After voting, the reply will be "Choice Accepted - <player name>" So you can recall who you voted for

Null reference exception / Object was null errors when voting should be fixed

Wonderful update this morning:
Control version 2.0.5990.16539
Bot admins no longer are in the database. Thanks to the latest Telegram API update, @werewolfbot will use the group admins from Telegram. Anyone in the group who has been set as a group admin can now use /config /forcestart /smite

/addgroupadmin and /remgroupadmin are being removed as they are no longer needed

I am not happy to make this update, but I feel this needs to be said. Harrassing/stalking other members of telegram playing werewolf is not allowed, in any group. If anyone is feeling like they are being harrassed through facebook or other means, feel free to message me @ameliarat and I will help you.

Sebenarnya saya kurang suka untuk menulis pemberitahuan ini, tetapi saya rasa hal ini harus diucapkan. Melecehkan/menguntit anggota telegram lainnya yang bermain werewolf tidak diperbolehkan, dalam grup apapun. Jika ada seseorang merasa dilecehkan melalui Facebok atau media lain, silakan tinggalkan pesan pada saya @Ameliarat dan saya akan berusaha membantumu.

A piece of advice for anyone afraid of harrassment: do not use your real life name on telegram! keep it a nickname so people cannot find you in other places. ~@ameliarat

I hate to say this again, but I am hearing yet of more harrassment/stalking people. These people are not welcome to use this bot. If you are being harrassed, or see someone be harrassed, let me know @ameliarat

Update:
Language menu has been cleaned up. Variants for each language will be under the base language

Sorry about that everyone, apparently I hit my spending limit with the server hosting (and they didn't feel like TELLING me....)

I had to go pay more money to get the server turned back on. Everything should be back online now.

PSA:
It has come to our attention that some players are now botting (letting a bot play the game for them under their account). We are banning them (5 so far) from the main chat. You may not think this is an issue (botting), but bots can't talk to teammates, and hurt people who are actually playing. @werewolfbot will be upgraded soon to detect people who are using bots to play the game.

TL;DR
Do not bot the game. It may get you banned.

there is a cool little bot made that you should all message! @WerewolfOfficialGamesBot will give you list of all offical games. Give it a message and you can easily find a big group to find!

if there is anyone interested in a Korean language, @Marie_Skullgirls is interesting in getting a group together to play it/maybe make a language pack. Feel free to message her
