[Werewolf Down]

Werewolf bot is down for a bit.

Sorry about this we are fixing the issue at the moment, Should be back in a few minutes

[Bot is back]

Hi everyone the bot is back. In the process of being down we lost everyones grouplink.

Please /setlink@werewolfbot to restore your link

If you do not send the bot /setlink your group will not appear on grouplist again

no groups will be shown unless they /setlink@werewolfbot link

گروپ ليست آپديت شده ، گروه ها تا زمانی که
/setlink@werewolfbot link
نكنن نمايش داده نميشن توي گروه لیست.

[Werewolf: Links]

Grouplist is working again. We are still seeing that a lot of groups are not setting the link. Please send /setlink@werewolfbot <link of your group> in your group, so that the bot can get to know your link. If you do, you will probably enjoy the next update ;)

Note: you might not need it if your group is public and you have a username. Still, do try.

Note 2: Remember that the grouplist refreshes every 20 minutes. If you used to appear there, and you setlink and still not see your group in the grouplist, just wait 20 minutes.

Big update!

1. You can now finally set Random Mode in /config. If you enable Random Mode, everytime you start a new game, the bot will randomly decide if it is a Chaos game, if it is a Secret game, if the Lynching will be secret, and if Tanner, Cult and Fool are allowed in the game.

2. New grouplist! Now grouplist is not based on members, but we have an algorithm that will rank the groups and order them by activeness. Note that the algorithm is run every week, so if you want to go upper you need your group to be more active within a week.
Unlike before, all groups are included: if you set the link in werewolfbot, you will be included in the ranking. Note also that you will be included in the ranking of all the variants you have played. If you want to be removed from a specific language, or globally, please go to @werewolfsupport, and ask an admin to be removed from grouplist.

[Werewolf grouplist]

Please note that the current grouplist is not completely ranked yet. The actually ranked groups are on top, but, currently, only few groups per language are really ranked. The others are ordered randomly.

You might not have got a ranking yet if you
1. didn't /setlink@werewolfbot (make sure that @werewolfbot answers to that command, otherwise it means it didn't go through), and/or
2. you didn't play any game since the update.

Remember you have to wait 20 minutes for the changes to have effect on the grouplist.


And, yes, this means that if you do this with a language which you played at least once last week, and where less than 10 groups are ranked, you get immediately on top.

[Werewolf /setlang]

You may have noticed that /setlang hasn't been working for ~12h. It has been fixed now.

[Phillipines Telegram Block]

Hi everyone.

So it has come to our attention that users on Smart and PLDT networks in the Phillipines are no longer able to access Telegram.

We have a simple solution to get around this. Simple click the following link here and click enable: https://www.tg-me.com/socks?server=163.172.174.115&port=1080&user=foo&pass=bar

Edit this link will work for anyone who has there telegram blocked anywhere in the world

[Werewolf grouplist]

The grouplist is still almost unranked! At this point, you can easily get to the top of the grouplist of a language by simply
1. Doing /setlink@werewolfbot
2. Playing a game in that language
not necessarily in this order.

Here you can find a table of the number of groups that have been ranked under the various languages. If your language has less than 10 groups ranked, as soon as you complete the two steps, you get in the grouplist. Note that you are conted in every language you played during the last week.

Happy wuffing!

[Werewolf: Group spam]

It has come to our attention that some groups are spamming ads & links, in private and in other groups; some others are adding random people to their group without even asking.
We cannot either allow or accept these behaviours, because we do care about the order in the groups that use our bots, and we care about the users that are victims of spam and adds.
For these reasons, a big persian group called "🇮🇷 мαƒiα IR 🇮🇷", which was reported multiple times, has just been banned. Please, if you know about these cases of spam, or you are a victim, do report us the group, and we will take action if needed.

Addendum:
Spamming me is NOT a good way to get your group relisted / unbanned. It will only cause me to report YOU as spam. I'd suggest it stops. To the multiple people who just copy / pasted the same thing to me, while I'm at work trying to get things done, I have reported as spam, because that is EXACTLY what you are doing to me.

Normally I will hear people out and give them a chance to explain / correct actions / whatever, but if you are all going to spam me, I'm just going to block you

Blocked / Reported users so far: 19

At this point I have zero desire to listen to anyone from your group. Don't even try

Addendum 2:
This doesn't mean you are allowed to message global admins showing some random screenshot and expecting them to global ban your "enemy" group.

[Enforcer Update 24 July]
Anti media deletes the media posted now.
Bot was updated to 3.1
Tempban makes use of telegrams tempban system.

Tempban now understands more commands for time. Example:
Tempban [ID] 3 days
Tempban [ID] 5 hours
Tempban [ID] 5 minutes
Tempban [ID] 64 hours

It also works with username and reply. It does not work with times like "5 days 3 hours"

[Enforcer Update 29th July]
Hey everyone.
Some groups were experiancing issues with the anti flood not working.
These have been fixed.
