[General - Troubleshooting]
Just to let everyone know, we are currently troubleshooting an issue on the server with a process eating up CPU cycles. So far, the best answer for this particular issue we have found would be to completely reinstall the OS. Obviously, we aren't doing that (hopefully) - I'd much rather actually fix the problem. I could reboot the server, which will fix the issue for a few hours.... but then it would just come back again.
During this time, the bot may be a little more laggy (than it already has been due to the issue). We appreciate your patience.
There is a chance that we will schedule some down time to do some patching of the server / more troubleshooting that can't be done while the bots are running. I do apologize for this.

We are about to patch the server, this make take a little while. During this time, no new games can be started. Sorry for the inconvenience, we will be back up and running as soon as possible.

I have put @enforcerbot on another old server. Basic commands like /ban, /kick etc will work but call back buttons won't and some new features will be missing.
@enforcedbot is still down with the rest of the bots though. We apologize for this
You will see lots of errors but ignore those, the bot is trying to run in a manner it is no longer able 2

Thank you for your patience :)

I really don't understand what is happening with @werewolfbot. I've restarted it a few times, it won't receive properly. Applying more patches....

Also, Beta bot is running just fine (it seems), Beta bot runs on the same server, so it's not the server
Just so everyone knows, I'll be in Addison, Texas next weekend (starting the 23rd). If you know why, and want to hang out, find me in @OfftopicWW
[Birthday]
Happy 1st Birthday to our very own @werewolfbot! We would like to thank all those who have supported us, the devs, the translators, all the admins, those who have donated, those who have suggested updates, those who have kicked the bot from their group to make sure no one spams commands, those who entered support to check on the bot status, and of course, thank you to all our loyal players! We couldn't of done it without you!
Our gift to you, we have uploaded a special surprise in one of our language variants: English, Normal.
Enjoy, and happy wuffing! 🐺

[Enforcer Update Log - 23 March]

Grey Wolf Development
Werewolf has been updated! Version 3.0.6123.* We've completely reworked normal game mode. It is now "balanced" game mode, and will no longer choose specific roles based on game size. Instead, it will choose random roles, but balance the game. Essentially…
[Moderator Game modes]
Just so everyone knows. /startgame was updated and does not give boring roles anymore. /startgame is actually the balanced version of /startchaos. Hence the chances of a team winning, would be eqyal. People got too used to chaos.

[Terrorism]
The werewolf community is made out of people from all horizons.
Whether in the US, in France, in Belgium, in Turkey, Iraq, or any other country that gets struck by ISIS, we usually know people who were struck directly or indirectly by the attacks.
Two things on that : The way people are killed by ISIS/ISIL is horrible. But keep in mind traffic or genetic illness both kill more than Terrorism. I'm not saying we should not wage war against Terrorism. We need to. However, their biggest weapon are media and popular opinion. They are not as effective as we perceive them to be.
Second thing : Media point Telegram as "A sulfurous messaging app"Le Figaro when actually, the only thing Telegram defends is it's users, while fighting against ISIS. Value your freedom. Don't think creating backdoors is legitimate, it's not. We, the Werewolf Team, are proud of one of the most respectful messaging apps on the market. Help us bring down it's image.

Don't Shoot the Messenger
Politicians often try to score points by blaming encrypted messaging apps for all the evils of modern society. Government officials call for backdoors in popular end-to-end encrypted apps to "stop terrorism", neglecting the fact that this can't and won't…
[Bot Lag]
Hey everyone, we know the bots are currently lagging, but there is currently nothing we can do : WerewolfBot and WerewolfBetaBot receive unstable updates from Telegram, and Enforcer and Enforcer Premium are also encountering issues. Devs are currently unavailable, please be patient until issue gets solved.
Until then, *please try to avoid useless commands (pings, @admin, getstatus, so on* .
The less commands you make, the faster the bots will recover.

[Enforcer update 31 March 2017]
A lot of updates tonight.
*Fixed issues with incorrect markdown
*added the message contains @admin to flag reports when a message is forwarded
Those were just minor bug fixes the major system is the addition of the authorisation and elevation system which make use of:
/elevate - Gives a user bot admin rights forever when run by creator but only 30 minutes when run by a normal group admin
/deelevate - Removes a permanent users elavated rights
/elevatelog - a log of who has been elevated by admins and when
/auth - Make a user be seen as the group creator by the bot. This will mean the bot will act as if the are the group creator with the above command and any other future creator only commands
/blockelevate - Stops an admin from elevating other users
/deauth - Removes a users auth rights. This can be run by other auth users and the creator.
The auth system is meant to help groups with inactive creators as an active admin can be given that role.
The reason normal admins can elevate users for 30 minutes is to allow them to get more users to help out when needed, this is logged so that creators and auth users can review what the admins have done.
Enjoy

[Enforcer update 1 April 2017]
now u can no longer elevate yourself and when u elevate someone else they get added to a blocked list of people who cannot elevate, existing temp elevated users can elevate others still but they wont be able to elevate themselves anymore and the people they elevate cant elevate anyone. So the problem should resolve itself now.
If you were getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." errors please set your group language as the bot didn't know what you spoke. It should be resolved though going forward.

[Grey Wolf - the End]
Most of you probably weren't here when I started werewolfbot back in March last year, but it has now been a year.
With more than 1.3 milion users, and over 6690000 games played, we have achieved a huge milestone. However, there are other things on the schedule, so this is to say @werewolfbot and @werewolfbetabot will be *shut down* FOREVER as of tomorrow 02APR2017. I have way too many projects, my wife, my kids, everything to take care of, and the server werewolf runs on is overloaded. I just don't have the time anymore to keep up with Werewolf, and quite frankly I'm tired of looking at it.
If you happen to be in Texas on May 1st, we're throwing off a party for the end of werewolf, you can message @parawuff for details and organisation.

There is a tradition that dates back to the middle ages, that turned today to what we call April Fools today.
It was a joke guys.
You are amazing, Werewolf Bot is *NOT* getting removed, of course.
It was great to see how you all really love wwbot, HAPPY WUFFING !

Some of you must have noticed that the join link for the following groups are broken: @werewolfgame, @werewolfsupport, and @werewolfvets. The links will be broken for a while, but rest assured we are working on a solution to retrieve them.
