Grey Wolf Development

[Werewolf anniversary event - Update] As we've already found many people cheating for the giveaway, as in people who do not playing games but only start and join a game and then end it by fleeing/smiting, we would like to let you know that we will exclude such people from the giveaway as well, because it is contrary to the spirit of the giveaway. We'd like you to play and have fun, not to join a game and end it without playing. Happy wuffing, from Your GreyWolf Team

In early March 2016, a great big grey wolf named Para came up with an idea for a new Telegram bot. He wanted to be able to play a cool game that he didn’t get the chance to play at a convention. So, on March 18th he started working on it, and created a bot that is now known as one of the most popular game bots on telegram, and is called Werewolf Moderator! * Timejump - Two years later * Today, we're celebrating the second anniversary of @werewolfbot! For this special occasion we are giving away custom GIF packs, which normally require a donation of $10USD or more. The top 5 players who win the most werewolf games today, Sunday the 18th of March 2018 (UTC), will receive a custom GIF pack for free! Games only count for this event if they started AND ended on 18 March in the UTC timezone. Players who already have a custom GIF pack are excluded from the giveaway. Have fun, happy wuffing 🐺, happy winning 🎉 and good luck earning your custom gif pack! http://telegra.ph/Custom-Gif-Packs-and-Donation-Levels-07-31

[@Werewolfbot...] ...wasn't responding to startgame / startchaos commands for some minutes, the issue should be fixed now :) :P

[Werewolf] Server move has been completed, enjoy :)

This message will be updated as we progress. ✅ Backup ✅ Transfer ✅ Restore (this part takes awhile) ✅ Kill beta bot, restart on new server ✅ Test ✅ Kill main bot, restart on new server

[Werewolf] Just a heads up, we are moving to a new server shortly. Once we start the move, we will backup the current database, move it to the new server (it's 30 GB, will take a bit...), restore it, then kill the current werewolf bots and restart them on the new server (and hope everything is configured correctly...) How this effects you: Once we do the backup, any games, achievements, settings, anything you do will NOT be saved until we start it up on the new server. Basically: you can still use werewolf, but nothing will be saved.

[Werewolf - Check own idles] A new command was just added to werewolf, to check your own idle (AFK) deaths in the last 24 hours! Up to this point, only group admins could get someone's idles with the /getidles command, now you can simply send /myidles to one of the werewolf bots to find out how often you died of AFK within the last 24 hours. This can be relevant for you in groups where you get warned / tempbanned for a certain number of AFKs, so you can check whether or not you can afford joining the game at all. Note: an AFK death counts in these stats 24 hours from when it happened. AFK deaths are NOT reset daily at a certain time, like many people used to think. Happy wuffing 🐺

The Werewolf website (http://www.tgwerewolf.com) is also back online now, stats are viewable again.

[Werewolf] Bots are back up, they are catching up for all the missed messages. Will update this message when they are good to go again Online: Time to receive ping message: 00:01.20 Messages per second: 600 MAX IN | 23 MAX OUT IN last min: 22521 OUT last min: 35 Time to send ping message: 00:00.32

[New Command - unpingall] We have a new command tonight for group admins to use. /unpingall will clear your pingall list in your group. The bot does not issue a reply when you use it but it does clear the list.

[Bots starting back up] The bots should be starting up in the next few seconds. Please wait while they catch up

[Enforcer Offline] I am going to take the bots office for a little bit to push a quick update to them. They should not be done for more than 10 minutes. They down now

[ما خسته ایم] خب ما سعی کردیم از جامعه پشتیبانی کنیم. با این وجود، نیت های خوب ما با صدها اکانت فارسی ترول که تو پشتیبانی اسپم دادند رو به رو شد. بنابراین ما تصمیم گرفتیم قانون قبلی رو لغو کنیم، و با این پیام، [اعلام می کنیم که ما هیچ رسیدگی در قبال گزارشاتی که از اد شدن ناخواسته دریافت میکنیم، انجام نمی دهیم.] ما احساس می کنیم که این در محدوده ما نیست ولی ما به هر حال اینکار رو از روی عشق به جامعه انجام دادیم. این مشکل از قبل توسط تلگرام با قرار دادن گزینه «ریپورت اسپم | گزارش به عنوان هرزنامه» در صورت ناخواسته اد شدن مدیریت شده. بنابراین، در پاسخ به اتفاق های اخیر، گروه پشتیبانی برای جلوگیری از هر گونه حملات توسط کاربران محدود شده تا زمانی نامعلوم [عمومی خواهد بود.] اگر شما هم ناعادلانه جزو این افراد حساب میشید و نمیتونید عضو گروه پشتیبانی بشید، می تونید از 500+ نفری که چند روز قبل به گروه پشتیبانی پیوستند و شروع به اسپم کردند و افرادی که به پیام دادن به ادمین ها در مورد مشکلاتی که باید جای دیگه و توسط یکی دیگه رسیدگی بشه ادامه میدهند تشکر کنید.

[We are tired] So we tried to support the community. Our good intentions, however, is met with several hundreds of persian troll accounts spamming support. So we decided to abolish the rule above, and by this message, we announce that we will not do anything to reports of uninvited adding. We feel that, aside that it was not our scope but we did it anyway out of our love to the community, the problem is already managed by telegram by giving you "Report As Spam" button for uninvited adding. So, in response to recent events, our support group will be public in an attempt to curb any attacks by limited users until indeterminate time. If you are affected, you can thank the 500+ people who joined and spammed support a few days ago and the people who keep messaging admins about stuff that is to be handled elsewhere and by someone else.

This offer ends in a few hours, grab it while you can! :)

We are doing one final sale, for.... awhile. Today only, GIF packs are half off - $5 for a pack for you, or $10 for you and a friend. (You don't even have to get one for yourself, you can just buy for friends) In order to receive this, you must use PayPal: http://PayPal.Me/GreyWolfDevelopment Please be sure to put your username or user id in the notes of the donation so that we can unlock your GIF pack :)

Sorry for the delay in approving GIF packs, they are all approved now. If not, please contact support :)

[Werewolf Stats] Okay, to answer the question for everyone: Yes, we know that the official werewolf telegram page is down and therefore the stats links don't work. Inofficial bots like the wwstatsbot don't work either because they get the data from the same website. The issue will hopefully be fixed, but for now, you can get your stats with the inline mode of @werewolfbot: Type "@werewolfbot" in a chat, wait a bit and hit the "Stats" button.

A few of you did not note your Telegram username / id in the paypal donation. I have emailed all of them, if you donated and did not receive a confirmation, please check your email (the one you use for PayPal)

I am processing all the donations now that the bot is up. Give me a few minutes, if you donated you'll get a message from @werewolfbot confirming it :)
