Grey Wolf Development

So, to make sure all are aware. @para949 I will be starting the stream in ~30 minutes. In about an hour, to give people time to see the message / etc, I will do the giveaway on the stream. I'm doing it there because I'm using a bot to automate it (nightbot). Roughly 30 minutes into the stream, I will drop a keyword. You will need to say that word (just once, no need to spam!) in order to enter the giveaway. Tonight, the giveaway will be a steam key for I am not a Monster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKKuR9DhfjA Here's the link to my stream: https://twitch.tv/para949

For all the werewolf lovers, I have an awesome game to hand out for the first giveaway! I will be doing this giveaway in a couple hours on twitch.

[Spam Welcomes] Executrix has received a new update! In the /menu under "General", you can now turn on "DeleteSpamWelcomes" to automatically delete welcome service messages of userbots that join and immediately leave the group again. If that feature is turned on, Executrix will not send out a welcome message and delete the service message for those spam-userbots, so the chat is kept clean and nice. Enjoy, and have a nice wuff!

On another note, we are now enforcing a stricter global antiflood on @ExecutrixBot. If you send too many messages in a short period of time, you will be temporarily unable to use Executrix commands. Hopefully that will help preventing such trouble in the future :)

The server has been rebooted and the bots are back! Happy Wuffing! 🐺

It seems that the bots are having an unknown issue again. The werewolf bots are laggy and Executrix is not responsive... You can't start more werewolf games for now, we are going to reboot the server when most/all games ended. Sorry for the inconvenience :/

[Werewolf & Executrix] The bots are back for the moment! It is possible they are going to crash again, but for now, enjoy playing and sorry for the inconvenience in the last hours! 🐺

[Beta Applications Closed] Thank you to everyone who applied for getting the beta bot. We will review the applications and notify the groups who get the beta bot within the next few days. :)

[Beta Groups] We decided to clear out some inactive beta groups. So there are 12 groups with the beta moderator that haven't even played 200 games in this year. Since we need to have active beta testers, we would like to thank those 12 groups for their help until now, and open up those 12 spots to 12 new active groups! If your group is actively playing with @werewolfbot and would like to use the beta moderator to help us testing new features, get your group's id with the /chatid@werewolfbot command and drop us a message "#applybeta CHATID" in @greywolfsupport (where CHATID is your group's ID)! We are looking forward to new beta testers! Please keep in mind that the global staff will decide which of the applying groups are going to get the beta bot, depending on your past game activity and other criteria.

[Executrix Update!] Executrix received an update today - including CAS-Bans, Improved Anti-Link punishments and more! Learn more about the newest updates here: https://telegra.ph/Executrix-Updates-16062019-06-16

This is also the reason for our bots being down / laggy again 😞

resist telegram 💪

After a while of more issues, the bots have been running fine for quite a while now! Hopefully they will stay good! :)

The bots appear to be back again! Happy Wuffing! 🐺 Edit: Still instable. Both werewolf and Executrix keep receiving and not-receiving randomly.

Also please note that we are permanently banning whoever is flooding our bots, no matter whether they are down at that time or not.

Telegram decided to stop delivering messages to the werewolf bots. While there is nothing we can do about it, we'll take the opportunity to perform a server reboot. We sadly can't tell when the bots are going to be back, as the problem is on Telegram's side.

[Spamming the Bot] TL;DR: You spam, you're banned. Sometimes, the werewolfbot decides to pause for an electrolyte break. He gets a bit of a rest, and then goes back to work. The problem is, he's a bit selfish, and no one is around to take his job while he has a break. A bit irresponsible really. When he comes back, he's got to work twice as hard to process all of the requests people sent him while he was on break. Now, apparently some users, who might not understand the intricacies of the interwebz seem to think that sending the bot more requests while it's not answering might make it answer. Some are more extreme still, and think the likelyhood of the bot replying to them is linked to how many times per second they send commands. This is VERY damaging to the bot, and these people should be told off for doing so. Actually they have. If you've been spamming commands at the bot, you are now restricted from using the bot in the future. Also, the bot has plenty of responsibilities already. It doesn't need more. If the bot is admin in your group, please demote him. Because if it is admin, it will receive every single message sent there, and have even more unnecessary work to do. For the people who spam groups where the bot is admin, you've also been restricted from using the bot any further. To all the lovely wuffers who wait patiently for the bot to come back from his electrolyte break, Happy Wuffing 🐺

The bots are back, enjoy! 🐺

Werewolf is having issues, the problem is on telegram's side. Maybe executrix will die too, all we can do is waiting for Telegram to fix their servers :/

P.S.: The issues that users have been having with joining Werewolf games should also be better now! Happy Wuffing! 🐺
