Alright, have a bunch of files queued up to transfer off the server. I need a short break, losing my mind, I'll be back in a little while to keep working on this.
I have now been on this for 14 hours. It's 4am here. I... I need some sleep. I'm sorry, I'll keep working on it as soon as I wake up.
[Werewolf Update (Bots are still down)]
Hello everyone. Windows is finally installed on the server.

[Werewolf: Update]
As you may have noticed, we have implemented showing Telegram IDs in the join messages, because some admins found it hard to ban or smite players that don't chat in group.
This is now an option that you will find in /config.

[Werewolf: Bug fixed]
The error that all the games were getting in the last hour should be patched from next games on.
If you're in a game, you can check the /version, and if the node version is 4.2.6400.14788 or bigger it shouldn't have any problem.

[Enforcer Update 11.07.2017]
- New feature: /d. This is a command that can be used to delete own messages quickly, as well as the /d itself. Group admins can also delete foreign messages.
- A lot of bugfixes, including:
- /menu by non admins being logged
- welcome messages failing if you have certain characters in your name
- Enforcer will now resend messages it failed to send out of api overflowing
- and a lot more.
By the way: You might have seen the information on the telegram geeks channel [@geekschannel, does NOT belong to GreyWolfDev] about the many spambots in the last time. Enforcer's global ban list now contains all the users and bots mentioned there, and a lot more, so using enforcer will prevent your group from being infiltrated by these. If you know any more spambots that aren't on enforcer's banlist yet, feel free to tell us at @werewolfsupport and help us all to make telegram a better place.

[Unable to use bots]
Telegram is currently experiancing a blackout in some of there Datacenters. Due to this blackout some groups are going to be unable to send messages to @werewolfbot.
Luckily @werewolfgame has a working connection to the bot so feel free to play there.

[Werewolf]
We've heard reports that in some groups, a user is unable to join a game if they have been restricted by the new admin settings Telegram recently released.
The problem here is that if the bot is not an admin, then when the bot checks if they are a group member, the API tells them no, this user has left the chat, even though they are in fact in the chat. This only applies to restricted users in groups where the bot is not an admin.
Currently, the workaround is to make werewolfbot an admin in your group, so that way it can get the correct status.
Sample from API:
Bot not admin -
Bot is admin -
