A bot that plays the card game Mafia (also known as Werewolf) on Discord.

The default prefix the bot uses in a server is !, this can be changed using the settings command.

• !mafia - starts a new game of Mafia
• !destroy - kills a current running game of Mafia
• !why - find out what the bot is currently waiting for
• !who - find out who's in the current game

The bot will prompt with other commands during the game:

• !join - join a game (before it's started)
• !start - start the game (once enough players are in)
• !leave - leave the current game (can be done at any point in the game)
• !choose number - used by some of the roles to choose the player they wish to action
• !accuse @user - used by villagers to accuse others of being in the Mafia
• !skip - used by villagers to stay quiet

These can initially only be run by the server owner or members with the Administrator or Manage Server permissions granted. You can give other members or roles the ability to control the bot using the settings command.

• !here - to mark the channel(s) MafiaBot can use to start games in
• !use #channel - works like !here, but can be run from outside the channel you want games in
• !remove - stops MafiaBot from running in the current channel
• !settings - see the raw saved settings
• !settings prefix prefix - changes the prefix to prefix
• !settings adduser @user - allows the user user to adminster the bot
• !settings removeuser @user - removes user from list
• !settings addrole @role - allows any user with the role role to adminster the bot
• !settings removerole @role - removes role from list

If you want the bot to leave your server at any point, just kick it.

In order to run correctly the bot needs the following permissions set for it, or it won't run:

• Manage Channel - on the channel category the bot is in, this is so it can add/remove the extra channels used to communicate with the Mafia during the game
• Read Messages - in the channels being used to run the game, and any other channels you wish to be able to send control commands from
• Send Messages - as above
• Embed Links - on the channel category the bot is in, used to send messages with rich embeds

You can run the bot yourself by cloning this repo, renaming credentials.example.py to credentials.py and adding a bot token and your user ID, then running main.py.

There are a few additional commands bot owners can run, the default prefix is %%:

• %%stats - gives some info on how many servers and active games the bot is currently running
• %%leave - removes the bot from the server the command is run on
• %%logset - mark the current channel as the place to output any internal Python exceptions
• %%exception - forces an exception (to test the above)
• %%permissions - for debug, tells you which of the required permissions are missing from the current channel (can be called by a server manager)
• %%settings - see the raw saved settings
• %%settings prefix prefix - changes the bot control prefix to prefix
• %%settings adduser @user - adds user to the list of people allowed to manage the bot
• %%settings removeuser @user - removes user from the list
