Telegram is currently having issues with the bot API - many bots appear to be affected, including the werewolf bots and executrix. We will disable new games until the problem seems to be resolved.
😱26😢14👍12🤬1211👎2
In addition to telegram's issue, our server is also overloaded now. We will try to fix this but it will probably take some hours until somebody gets to it, so please be patient. Do not spam bot commands, it does not help and only risks getting you banned from our bots. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Werewolf 9th Anniversary]
Today, on 18th of March, the first creation of @werewolfbot was exactly 9 years ago! We made it to nearly a decade of Telegram wuffing!

To celebrate this, we have just released 9 new achievements - enjoy trying to get them and happy wuffing! 🐺

Here is the list of new achievements:

Firefighter
As the guardian angel, clean three houses of kerosene.

Helpful Paranoia
As the hunter, shoot two attackers!

S-Tier Hunter
As the hunter, take down a wolf and a cultist in the same night!

Triple Kill
As a serial killer or wolf, have at least three people die by your hand in the same night!

Resist the Beast
As a trio of wild child, traitor, and cursed, all remain human and win the game with the village.

At least you tried...
As the guardian angel, save someone at night only to watch them die to the chemist's poison.

Lucky Night
Survive the chemist's visit and enjoy the harlot's visit in the same night!

In the Middle of the Trouble
As the guardian angel, save a werewolf from an attack and survive!

Am I hallucinating?!
As the fool, see a role which the seer can never see!

Invitation to the Mafia Championship Season 12

Hello everyone!
It is in our greatest excitement to announce that GreyWolfDev has been once again invited to participate in the Annual Mafia Championship (which is now on it's 12th season)!

If you would like to read more about it and possibly represent GreyWolfDev at that championship, have a look at @WerewolfApplications! Looking forward to see you! 🐺

[Bots down]
Our bots are currently not working. I am assuming that this is a problem on Telegram's side, since our server is running just fine.
The problem is likely to resolve itself soon enough.
In the meantime, do not flood bot commands. It doesn't help, it only takes longer and gets you banned.
Sorry, we hope that you all can get back to wuffing as soon as possible!

[Bots unresponsive]

We're investigating unresponsive behaviour with our bots across all groups. We're not currently sure what the issue is but will get back to you all when we have an update.

In the meantime, please avoid spamming the bot with extra messages.

Thanks for your patience

[Integrating FAST Bans in Executrix]
Like CAS Bans and Spamwatch before, Executrix now integrates with the FAST Scammer list, a list of scammer accounts maintained by the Furry community. If you wish to enable this list in your group to keep the users flagged as scammers out, turn on "EnableFASTScamList" under /menu ➡️ "General". Executrix will automatically ban new people joining your group if they are on this list.

Enjoy! 🐺

GreyWolfDev wishes you all a great new year! Stay healthy, be kind and joyful, and keep wuffing! 🐺

Iranian players are the most active in our community, and we should be worried for them, and about them.
I'm not equipped to comment on the chaos and horror of the situation there, but I can share a graph:
No game in persian has been played since Friday, from a daily average of over 1k games.
That puts the strength of the crackdown there into perspective.

Is that.... a grey hair?
Wow. Seems we really are becoming Grey Wolf Dev. 🐺

Dear Werewuffers, it is in our pleasure to announce that @werewolfbot is about to turn 10 years old! 🎉
10 years of (almost :P) continuous operation, lots of fun, friendships, dramas and lowly villagers being eated.

The exact date of @werewolfbot's birth is March 18th, 2016. So in the few days until then, we would like to take you on a small journey through time, allowing you to see what playing werewolf was like 10 years ago. It was... different.

Starting right now, you get to experience a hint of the original werewolf experience as of May 2016, when the bot was starting to grow massively.

These are the original roles that were part of the game:

👨 Villager
🍺 Drunk

🐺 Werewolf
😾 Cursed
🔫 Gunner
👺 Tanner
🃏 Fool
👶 Wild Child
👁 Beholder
🙇‍♂️ Apprentice Seer
👤 Cultist
💂‍♀️ Cultist Hunter
👷 Mason


For today, you get to play with this role selection. The coming days, we will re-release the roles that were added later in the bot's development.
We hope you'll enjoy, and celebrate @werewolfbot's birthday together with us! We have also prepared some daily trivia for you:

Did you know, ...
... that there used to be a game queue, where you would need to wait before being able to play in your group, because the initial version of the bot couldn't handle the load of too many games at once?

Werewolf 10th Anniversary – Day 2

These roles are added:
🎭 Doppelgänger
🏹 Cupid
🎯 Hunter
🔪 Serial Killer

Did you know...
... that Werewolf Bot was never meant to be a huge, public bot? It was only a personal project of Para, and it blew all up, as it was really the first of its kind gamebot on Telegram!

Werewolf 10th Anniversary – Day 3
The next batch of roles was added in November of 2016, and it added a lot of new dynamics:

These roles are added:
🔮 Sorcerer
⚡️ Alpha Wolf
🐶 Wolf Cub
⚒️ Blacksmith
🤕 Clumsy Guy

Did you know...
... that up until October of 2016, roles were not assigned randomly? Instead, the number of players in the game precisely dictated the possible roles! So many of the new roles from before were actually impossible to see in smaller games. In order to make smaller games more enjoyable, the random role assignment was initially released as Chaos Mode, and then also brought to normal mode, with additional balancing restrictions.

Werewolf 10th Anniversary – Day 4
After over a year of no more new roles, the incredible happened! What started out as an April Fool's Joke in April of 2018 became reality!
The @GreyWolfDev admins came up with a fictional list of roles that were supposedly added, when in reality, nothing of that was true.
When Para, the Alpha Wolf, heard the player's complaints about the exciting new roles that didn't really exist, he decided to go for it and make them real!

Not long after, these roles were really added to the bot:
🐺🌝 Lycan (originally called: "Wolf Man")
☮️ Pacifist
📚 Wise Elder (originally called: "Wise Old Man")
🌀 Oracle (originally called: "Negative Seer")
💤 Sandman
👨🌚 Wolf Man (originally called: "Lycan")
😈 Thief

Bringing the role tally up to 36:

Now that was a surprise that not even we saw coming when we planned out the April Fool's Joke! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Did you know...
... that @werewolfbot won the official first Telegram Bot Prize in 2016? When the Bot API (which powers the bots on telegram) was still young, Telegram had a contest to see the most creative things people could do with Telegram Bots. As the first game bot of its kind, @werewolfbot was entered and convinced the Telegram staff enough to win in the gaming category! Read it up here: https://telegram.org/blog/botprize1

Those new roles brought more new dynamics into the game. Alongside, more new achievements were constantly released to make finding out the new roles' mechanics even more fun!

Did you know...
... that we were first invited to the global Mafia Championship in 2017 (in its 4th season)? That was the first championship after the bot has been made public, and it was already so popular across telegram (and beyond) that the MU Championship organizers found out about us and asked us to join!
@GreyWolfDev has since been invited every year, sent one person who ended up in the final game, and several semifinalists!

What a journey! We hope you appreciate all the roles that were added to @werewolfbot through the years. Which one is your favorite role? No matter which: Enjoy playing, and look forward to the big anniversary tomorrow!

Did you know...
... that maintaining @werewolfbot over the years has accumulated costs well over 10,000 USD? Most of which has been paid by a few admins and developers, keeping the bot alive, together with your donations! (Extra fact: Donations are currently still disabled, but we plan on bringing them back soon, for those of you who would like to support us and get some custom GIFs in exchange!)

Werewolf 10th Anniversary – Final Day

Today is the day: @werewolfbot officially turns 10 years old! Hooray! 🎉
You may have noticed throughout the event: There have been no new roles in over 7 years! 😱
This is mostly due to the fact that the developers got busy with real life. Also, the 42 existing roles already allow for a high variety of games and we do not want to bloat the bot.

BUT:
For the 10th anniversary, we are releasing two brand new roles for you all! Hype!

⚠️ NOTE: BETA BOT ONLY FOR NOW! Will release on @werewolfbot soon.

The Chef 🍚
Always carries a bowl of rice. At daytime, they scatter some rice in one person's doorway. The next morning, they get up early and check the rice for footprints, to find out if that player has left the house at night, and how many people visited that player.

The Barkeep 🍸
Has a bar as a house. At night, the bar is open for all lowly villagers 👨 to enter and drink some beer. Each villager has a random chance of going to the bar each night, with the probability decreasing in larger villages (more players). Once a villager goes to the bar for the third time, they become a Drunk 🍺, and get to know the barkeep's name and vice versa.

New achievements (click to expand!)
Alongside with these new roles, we have prepared a couple new achievements for you!

Going Down with my Beer
> As a villager, die by visiting the bar the night it is set on fire.

Alcoholics Anonymous
> Be one of 3 or more drunks at the end of the game.

Liquid Business
> As the barkeep, have your bar be visited by 3 or more villagers in the same night.

Going Out Of Business
> As the barkeep in a game of 10 players or more, have no visitors in your bar for 3 nights in a row!

Traffic Control
> As the chef, find out that a person was visited by 3 people in one night.

Definitely Dead
> As the chef, track a person who is murdered that night.

Food Waste
> As the chef, track 3 or more different people who did not leave their house and did not have visitors.


IMPORTANT: These new roles and achievements are only on BETA BOT for now. Come play in @werewolfgame, @werewolfvets, or other beta groups to try them out!
As soon as they are tested a little, we will release them to @werewolfbot for everyone.

Enjoy! To the next 10 years of wuffing! 🎂🐺

Did you know...
... that we have actually left out a role in the event? The special role 🎃 Spumpkin has visited @werewolfbot for Halloween a couple times. Maybe we'll see him again someday...
