Grey Wolf Development pinned «So apparently we are back to daily recurring hiccups for the Werewolf Moderator. Procedure as follows, until further notice: - If @werewolfbot works, use it. - If it doesn't work, use @werewolfbetabot. Once beta leaves your group, try to use @werewolfbot…»
Despite the fact that I disabled automatic reboots for Windows updates....
Microsoft did what it wanted. Bots are back online
Update: I disabled it through Group Policy this time, hopefully that works

[Server Upgrade]
Hi all, we are currently working on migrating to our new server! For the moment, both werewolf bots are on maintenance mode. We will begin the work on them once games are finished.
Please note: Due to the way beta bot handles gifs, it may not display any for a short time after the upgrade
Current Status (Check back as we will update this as we work on things)
✅ Server Upgrade
✅ Set up database on new server
✅ Backup Executrix Database
✅ Transfer Executrix Database
✅ Attach Executrix database in new server
✅ Migrate Executrix (it is working already!)
✅ Wait for games on Beta to end
✅ Wait for games on Main to end
✅ Backup Werewolf Database on old server
✅ Transfer Werewolf Database
✅ Attach Werewolf database in new server
✅ Migrate Beta Bot (for testing)
✅ Migrate Werewolf Bot
✅ Migrate Website
Edit: I see a crying emoji. Why cry, this is a good thing :P

So..... Bots are online, and WAY faster than ever before.
Website is still having some issues, most likely because of CloudFlare DNS caching, so we'll just keep an eye on it.
Happy Wuffing to all!

Well then, I just realized I've been posting silently, so probably a lot of people missed the previous announcements, so doing one last post to get people caught up
Hi everyone, all bots are now up and running (never ever faster)! The website is also working and the gifs for beta bot also works now!
Thank you for the patience over the past weeks tolerating the bad bot response time. We have taken immediate actions to migrate everything to a newer and faster server. Hope you all enjoy again and Happy wuffing!

[RevokeLinkBot - It's back!]
Maybe some of you remember @RevokeLinkBot - We created that a couple years ago to give everyone a possibility to get rid of telegram's invite link mess in groups. Well, in case you noticed that it was down - it is back to life now! Enjoy :)
You can find information about what that bot is and what it does in this manual: https://telegra.ph/RevokeLinkBot---Manual-11-17

[Telegram Issues]
The bots are unstable right now because of Telegram-Side issues. Please be patient, we'll enable them later when telegram is more stable.
Time to grab some air I guess :)

[April Fool's - Over]
Hey everyone, to all of you who played werewolf yesterday, maybe you noticed the additional variance that it had? The bot switching game modes like crazy is surely fun, it needs to end at some point - which is now. Hope you all enjoyed!
If you noticed that some variants in your language could really need an update because half of the strings are not changed, or if you'd like to create a completely new variant of your own, do not hesitate to join @greywolfsupport and ask about it! (Please do note that variants with personal references / insider jokes are not accepted).
Happy Wuffing everyone, and keep being funny! 🐺

[Werewolf Update]
Balancing: To improve balancing, normal (non-chaos) games now have the following additional restrictions:
- There can't be more than 1 revealed role (mayor, gunner, blacksmith, pacifist, sandman, troublemaker) per 3 players.
- There can't be more than 1 kill-stopping role per 4 players. Kill-stopping roles are roles that grant the village 2 lynches in a row without a baddie kill in between, namely troublemaker and sandman, as well as blacksmith (if the only baddies are wolves).
Also, the role weight of the grave digger has been lowered from 8 to 5.
Fixes:
- The
- The bug where the arsonist could act despite being frozen by the snow wolf was fixed.
- The frequent crashes that were recently happening should not occur anymore.

[Executrix Issues]
In an attempt to find out what's the problem with Executrix (she keeps dying in the last days), we've taken her down for a while (and might do so a couple more times).
Please do not remove Executrix from your groups - we're trying to figure out what it is that makes her die.
Thank you!
Edit: For the time being, she's back... As much as it gets.

Telegram seems to be facing some datacenter problems at the time being, which also causes our bots to lag.
Werewolf is currently in maintenance mode, we'll bring it back as soon as telegram is working well again!

Hi everyone! 🐒 (🐺)
In order to test how bots can work with the new topics feature on telegram, I need to create a topic group.
A group needs at least 200 members to be converted to a topics group, so you can help me out by joining here:
https://t.me/+mXjHyBeqnDcwNTli
For now that will just be some off-topic place I guess, maybe it can be converted into something useful later. Thank you everyone! :D

[Bot Issues]
The werewolf bots suddenly stopped working.
When trying to find the problem, I was greeted with a bunch of 500-errors by telegram, indicating some problem on their side.
We'll keep an eye on this and let you know when the bots are back to normal :)
