Grey Wolf Development

With the server restart, we ran into some issues with the database that we need to sort out... Sorry, but the bots are now down for an undetermined time. If we know anything new, we will of course let you know! Be aware we are trying hard to bring the wolves back to you 🐺

[Teaser] Werewolf updates are on their way to the main bot... stay tuned! However, we need to restart the bot's server first. For now, you can't start games on @werewolfbot. When we restart the server, all our bots except for Executrix will be down for a short moment... To come back with new features!

[Executrix Updates] A summary about @ExecutrixBot's new updates regarding captchas, as well as admin groups can be found here: https://telegra.ph/Executrix-Updates-22082018-08-22

[Captcha Improvements] Executrix' captchas have been improved! They will now have 4 times the size than before and a darker font, so they are really easier to read. Also, if you join a group and solve the captcha there once, you don't have to solve it again if you join the same group again. Enjoy!

[Executrix - Captchas] In order to avoid annoying spambot waves, @ExecutrixBot just got a new feature - captchas! You can enable "NewMemberCaptcha" in your group's /menu and it's ready. What it will do is simple: Upon joining the group, users are instantly muted. The welcome message will have a button that sends them to executrix' PM. There they need to start it and solve a captcha to confirm they are not a (user-)bot. Only after doing this, they are unmuted in the group. Note that this feature is a bit experimental - we have tested it successfully but something may fail at any time. So if someone is unable to solve the captcha, just /unmute them - and please let us know at @greywolfsupport (with the captcha from the bot and the solving attempts from the user)!

[Grey Wolf Executrix] Executrix has just graduated from the Botwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is now, by law, allowed to use spells such as Silencio outside of the school grounds. Summon this new ability on annoying trolls and other hobglobins with the /mute command, or /tempmute . Once you feel they are worthy of speaking again, release them with /unmute. Also, Executrix can use Revelio on images and gifs more effectively, to detect and react to NSFW content. Now that Executrix is done with his studies, he's looking for help in learning new languages so he can travel around the world. If you wanna help with that, please notify us on @greywolfsupport. Also, there are a few other improvements, including being able to link to you're groups rules, extra list, about, or admin list. For more details, see http://telegra.ph/Executrix-Updates-01082018-08-01

Our monkey has found, amongst the cooking scrolls and the parchments of cheap tricks, the contact details of WWbot's cousin, @werewolfbetabot. We have sent an emissary to enter negotiations with him, and are pleased to announced he wasn't kicked in a well by some hot headed spartan punk. Rather, he came back with good news. @WerewolfBetaBot has approved being added to groups when our venerable @WerewolfBot is too sick to work. However, busy as he is, he will leave your group once @werewolfbot wakes up. Beta never liked the idea of custom gifs packs, so you won't be able to use those, but everything else should work just the same. Happy Wuffing Also, (🐒👨‍⚕)😍🍌 💲➡️🍌 🍌➡️🐒💪 💪🐒➡️🚫(🤢🤮🐺) send /donate to @werewolfbot to help WWbot afford botspital fees, living and housing expenses, including but not limited to property tax. tl;dr while we are fixing the issue, any group can use beta bot. no custom gifs. beta will leave once the issues are fixed.

Dear humans, wolves, angels, and all, Our beloved Werewolf Moderator has had one too many Villager earlier this week, and has been feeling sick around the same time of day ever since. He has now been taken to botspital, where paramedics and a monkey surgeon are gathering information, looking through old scrolls and pieces of parchment to cure our beloved Original Wuff. The botspital staff have agreed for him to receive visits and to work from the botspital, but be warned that he might take a break some time each day. Hoping you'll understand, and wish with us for him to recover as fast as possible, Grey Wolf Team. tl;dr : bot is experiencing daily recurring hiccups, we are working on fixing that, sorry for the inconvenience

It's back for now. We'll need to do further investigation on this.... Happy wuffing! 🐺 EDIT: The bot still has trouble. We will let you know when it's running well again.

We again have an unknown issue with the werewolfbot, it does not start games. We are now waiting for all (or at least most) games to end, then we will reboot the server. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Beta Applications Closed] The beta groups have been chosen and informed about it, from now on, you can't apply for the beta testing anymore. Thanks to the new beta testing groups (and sorry for everyone who applied but wasn't chosen this time!) Keep wuffing everyone! 🐺

[New Achievements!] We have heard from the Fool 🃏 that @werewolfbot has stopped operation. Worry not: The Fool is wrong! @WerewolfBot and @werewolfbetabot are still running and maintained by GreyWolfDev. Stay tuned for new roles, new achievements, and *gasp* new updates! Yes, New Achievements! We are taking new ideas for achievements and implementing new ones. Go to the address below and sound your idea for a new achievement, and maybe your idea will be picked and shown to all the users of @werewolfbot!

[Werewolf Bot - Updates!] » Beta Access « In order to facilitate better beta testing of new features for the werewolf bot, we will now start the recruitment of 20 (twenty) more groups to join the beta testing. Please note that the beta bot is just a bot to test new features, not the special access bot that every big group can get, and thus it may be less stable than the normal bot. Also please note that existing Beta groups HAVE to apply again if they wish to continue with helping us. Some special reminders before you apply: 1. The group must be active, we will check for the game history of your group for the past weeks to determine the group's gameplay activity. 2. You should actively test various features we wanted you to help with, and report bugs/suggestions to us. At least 2 active contact persons must join our reporting group to keep us posted. 3. The beta bot WILL NOT be able to use any custom gifs from any players. If you're interested and you think your group is active enough, please do /chatid in your group, then go to @werewolfsupport and drop a message like: #betaAccess -1001234567890 and we will process them as soon as possible. » New Donation Channels!

[Persian GroupList + Support] In light of recent events, we are re-opening Persian support group and grouplist! Visit @greywolfpersiansupport to ask about @werewolfbot, @werewolfbetabot, and/or @ExecutrixBot. Please do note that we will not handle any non-technical complaints such as group advertising or member handling. [ لیست گروه های فارسی + پشتیبانی ] به دلیل اتفاقات اخیر، ما داریم پشتیبانی فارسی و گروپ لیست فارسی رو دوباره اضافه می‌کنیم! گروه @Greywolfpersiansupport رو چک کنین و هر سوالی درمورد @werewolfbot یا @werewolfbetabot و @ExecutrixBot دارید بپرسین. درنظر داشته باشید که ما به هیچکدوم از شکایت هایی که درمورد مشکلات فنی نیستند، مثل تبلیغات و ادد کردن ممبر رسیدگی نمی‌کنیم.

[Werewolf] And it seems to be not working again. Probably the issue can't be "fixed" that quickly this time - it may take some hours. For now, you can play in @werewolfgame and other groups using the beta bot. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The bots should be back. Please approach @greywolfsupport if you are still having issues with them :) Thanks for your patience and happy wuffing 🐺

[Werewolf] The server seemed to have some issues, so we just killed all games on the main bot - they didn't work well anyway - and are now restarting the server. Please be patient while we're bringing the bots back :)

[Executrix @admin Reports] Since we found that executrix wasted many API calls trying to send reports to admins who hadn't even started her in PM, we now made her automatically unsubscribe admins that didn't start her or blocked her again. If you start executrix and still don't receive admin reports, you might need to run /adminon at first.

I know this channel has been full of birthday messages lately, but in response to this I now need to state that it's Amelia's birthday today! She's been admin for GreyWolfDev since the beginning and is still active here, so if you see her, drop her happy birthday wishes!
