[Happy End of the year - Topic Updates]

GreyWolfDev wishes all of you a merry christmas, a blessed end of the current year and a happy new year 2023. โœจ We know that many people around the world are going through tough times right now - war, hunger, inflation, governments suppressing people and this neverending pandemic - so we hope we can spark a bit of joy to those who need it. May 2023 be a good year! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿบ

On another note, @ExecutrixBot now supports topic groups. It should work in such groups as usual, with a few restrictions: Join Messages, Reactions to @admin reports using inline buttons and some other kinds of messages will always be sent to the General topic. Other than that, the bot will treat all topics the same and reply in the correct topic where applicable. All settings and #extra commands work across topics.

Support for topics for Werewolf is yet to come - we're working on it.

We hope you'll enjoy!

[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 :)

Invitation to the Mafia Championship Season 10

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 10th season)!

If you would like to read more about it and possibly represent GreyWolfDev there, have a look at @WerewolfApplications! Looking forward to see you! ๐Ÿบ

[Donations & Custom GIFs - Last Chance]
With the upcoming telegram update, all payments for digital goods and services need to be done in Telegram Stars
(See official @BotNews channel, announcing the changes for bot developers).
That includes tipping developers.

We can sadly not switch our donation system easily (payments would only be accessible via the TON blockchain for us - the developers cannot update everything accordingly as of now).

The background to this are policies by Apple and Google who take a share of any purchase made inside an app downloaded from the App Store / Play Store. Apple forces Telegram to change payments for digital services in this way in order to comply with the App Store guidelines. #BlameApple

Since continuing the donations like they are now might risk getting our bots blocked, and XSolla donations are currently not working anyway, we will soon disable all donations for an undetermined time.

โš  You can donate until June 8th. Afterwards, donations are disabled.

If you have always dreamed of giving us $10 to help with the server costs, and getting a custom gif pack, now is your chance! Donate through Telegram by sending /donate to @werewolfbot!

[Disclaimer for legal reasons: You may not donate from the Telegram app on iOS devices.]

[Executrix Admin Cache]
Telegram apparently had a bug earlier today where it treated all group admins as anonymous admins, no matter if they were actually anonymous. If Executrix updated its cache for your group in that timeframe, admins may currently not be recognized as such by the bot.

To fix this, have an elevated user use /cache in your group if you have one. If you don't have an elevated user available to do it, just wait - the problem should fix itself within 5 hours, when the bot updates its cache the next time. ๐Ÿบ

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.
๐Ÿ˜ฑ27๐Ÿ˜ข14๐Ÿ‘12๐Ÿคฌ12โค11๐Ÿ‘Ž2
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!

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!

[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 โžก๏ธ "General". Executrix will automatically ban new people joining your group if they are on this list.

Enjoy! ๐Ÿบ

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. ๐Ÿบ

Dear Werewuffers, it is in our pleasure to announce that @werewolfbot is about to turn 10 years old! ๐ŸŽ‰
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:

๐Ÿ‘จ Villager
๐Ÿบ Drunk
๐Ÿ’‹ Harlot
๐Ÿ‘ณโ€โ™‚๏ธ Seer
๐Ÿ–• Traitor

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Detective
๐Ÿบ Werewolf

๐Ÿ‘ Beholder
๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ Apprentice Seer
๐Ÿ‘ค Cultist
๐Ÿ’‚โ€โ™€๏ธ Cultist Hunter
๐Ÿ‘ท 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 โ€“ Day 2
In June of 2016, four more roles were added! Maybe you have noticed yesterday that there were really just three factions: Village, Wolves and Cult.
This is about to change now, as there are now โค๏ธ Lovers, a ๐Ÿ”ช Killer and a role that always loses! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

These roles are added:
๐ŸŽญ Doppelgรคnger
๐Ÿน Cupid
๐ŸŽฏ Hunter
๐Ÿ”ช Serial Killer

That brings the total roles up to 22:

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!
