Custom Gif Packs and Donation Levels

Today, we are launching our first paid feature, which you can easily get by donating through Telegram. (use the /donate command) Oh no! But why!? Well, the servers cost quite a bit of money to keep running, and we have never charged players to play the game, and I refuse to allow paid ads in Werewolf. No one likes ads.

So.... What is the new feature?

For the first 100 players that donate $10 USD or more, you'll unlock the ability to set your own custom gif packs for the game! Once you donate $10 (cumulative!), you will unlock the command /customgif. Using this command, you'll get a nice little menu showing you all the gifs you can set, their status, and your approval status (more on that in a moment). We have also added badges to your name when you play games :)

Simply hit the one you want to set, and send your custom gif. Once you've submitted all the gifs you want, simply hit "Submit for approval", and the admins will get a message and be able to review it.

OK, I submitted for approval. Why? Now what?

Our admins will review your submission, just to make sure the gifs are... appropriate. Examples of not appropriate would include brutal images (people / animals being killed) or illegal content. Also, try not to send gifs with large file sizes - think of the mobile users!

What if I want to submit NSFW gifs?

Don't worry, we planned for you. When we approve your set, we can mark your pack as NSFW. Group Admins can select to allow NSFW packs in their group (default is OFF), in which case your pack will be used.

Yay! I got approved. What happens now?

Go play a game! The way this works is instead of the default animations in the game, the bot will send / use YOUR custom pack. If there are multiple players in the current game with custom packs, then it will randomly select gifs from those players, each time it sends a gif.

What if I don't have a credit card? Is there another way to donate?

Absolutely. We still accept payments from PayPal and Bitcoin. However, if you use one of those, you will need to contact an admin / support to have them verify the payment and add it to the database.

What is this donation level thing? Badges?

As you donate, the database will save your information and your level can "grow". Once you reach certain levels, you'll unlock a few different badges. Here's the current setup:

•$10 USD: 🥉

•$50 USD: 🥈

•$100 USD: 🥇

You might also see this special badge: 💎 This badge indicates someone that donated at least $10 BEFORE this update. (Yes, that means that from this point on, no one can get that badge). If you did, please contact an admin.

What if I donate $5 now, and $7 later.... what happens?

Again, no need to worry. You "level" grows as you donate. Once you hit a level, you'll unlock the badge / custom gif packs (again, custom gifs are limited to the first 100 users)
