Some of you may have already noticed that there is a new /extend command.

Admins can use /extend <seconds> to extend the joining time by that number of seconds. You can extend by a maximum 300 seconds; in any case, the joining time cannot be more than 10 minutes. Negative values are also allowed to decrease the time.
Also, admins will find in /config an option to enable /extend for non-admins: however, they won't be able to extend more than once per game, nor by negative values.

Happy wuffing to everyone!

Hi everyone. Some of you will start seeing the bot sending a message saying "Message to long, please decrease the number of characters used".

No we arent twitter but the telegram api limits the bot based on the size of messages sent and messages over 1024 characters will now recieve that response instead of the actual message.

Please adjust your saved /rules, /welcome messages as needed. This sadly has to be implemented as some people have been sending essays through the bot and ruining the experiance for the other 10000 users.

Beta is full. Thanks to all who joined :)

We are opening the coup beta up to another 50 lucky players! If you want a chance to get it on the beta, start the bot:
<BETA FULL>

Again. this is BETA. Expect bugs, issues, etc.
Also, please be able to speak english to provide accurate feedback, and join the beta group where feedback is given

We removed some people that joined the beta, but didn't bother actually playing. There are 13 beta slots available. <full again>

Sorry, apparently some people are confused. The beta slots are for Coup, not Werewolf. Coup is a new game we at Grey Wolf are working on. You should definitely look it up (and buy a physical copy to support the original devs), as it is my absolute favourite game.

Some groups might see errors popping up within their games : index out of range.
Well, let's called that the celebration syndrome. Happy new year, and don't let the bugs prevent you from having fun.
What are you guys doing here anyways, it's new year's eve. Stop playing with wuffs. Go out to party with people !

To those who joined the Coup beta:
in about 15 hours I will run a command. If you have only played 1 game, or not at all, you will be removed from the beta so others can have a chance to join. Please keep this in mind!

The bot is currently having trouble.
Now, take a look at that individual : his behaviour is the opposite of the appropriate behaviour.
Do NOT spam the bot.
Take some time to eat, sleep and go outside

I love you guys

Today is Matteo's birthday. Wish him a happy new year and whatever you like.

For those with TDesktop Alpha (support for themes) we've created @tthemebot . Use it for inline searching themes, or to upload your own themes for Telegram. As usual, submit bug reports and such on GitHub (https://github.com/GreyWolfDev/Telegram-Theme-Bot)

Theme users: @tthemebot update! You can now rate a theme in the bot after choosing it :)

Null
This is the null theme for TDesktop. Clean, dark and with simple blue details.

For those wondering how to use themes, they are currently only available on Telegram Desktop alpha (until Telegram fully releases)

You can get it here:
https://desktop.telegram.org/#alpha-version

Themes are now available on the public version of Telegram! Be sure to check out some available themes using @tthemebot inline search (check out null and nightmode, those are my favourites)

The backlog of themes pending approval has been cleared (finally) - there are now a lot of checks in place for file validation as well.

Please, if you upload a theme, follow a few guidelines:
Give the file the same name as your theme (or close to it)
Give your theme a meaningful noscript and denoscription
For the screenshot, please use the official Telegram theme preview, not a screenshot of your private chats
Do not upload duplicates of themes others have created

To make changes, do not re-upload your theme - please use /edittheme instead

We've made a couple minor updates to @tthemebot. When uploading / editing a theme, you can now /cancel at any time. The bot also will not reply in PM anymore if you reply to it in a group.

We've also updated some of the questions asked to help themers create better listings, and made it so you can display your username without showing your display name on the listing.

It is with a heavy heart I post this message. One of our own has passed on to a kinder place.

Wuffers,

   Today we mourn the loss of @andre_fuqua, a werewolf player from Texas. He passed away this morning from gunshot wounds sustained in a violent attack last night. He was a compassionate, free-spirited young man that was always smiling and brought smiles to those closest to him. Our thoughts are with his family during this sad time.

While *I* did not know him personally, many players had the good fortune of knowing this kind soul. In learning about him, some even called him "Ghandi". I am deeply saddened by this unfortunate loss to our community, and as stated above our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Let the next game you play be in honour of Andre Fuqua (@andre_fuqua), the kindest runner in Texas

For those of you who want to do markdown in your messages but do not use plus messenger, telegram web and do not want to use @bold you can use /mark <message> and Enforcer will reply with the message marked down
Example: /mark _italics_ *bold* [link denoscription](url)

Hi everyone. We are currently testing a complete rebuild of Enforcer that will be much faster and support significantly higher load. We are will be announcing a beta program of some sort for it ASAP to sort out any small issues before going mainstream with it.


For those of you who are interested to know: we had to completely rebuild Enforcer because the programming language it was originally built in is a single threaded noscripting language that is very unstable. This means that whenever the bot came under heavy load or just felt like it it would slow down or restart itself. Sadly no amount of improvements can fix the fundamental flaws in the programming language itself so we started from scratch and built basically an entirely new bot. It will have exactly the same data in it as the old one and the commands should be exactly the same, any exception to this will be mentioned here.
Thank you for everyone's patience.
