User:Iovoid

My attempt to make a basic guide

• Read Libera:Terminology (not comprehensive, but a good start)
• Unlike other similar games, private messages (PMs) between players are allowed as long as both are alive.
• If a lead safe claims and you are a safe role (seer, shaman, harlot, oracle, augur, detective, bodyguard, gunner, sharpshooter, hunter, etc), then you should PM the lead safe with your role and what you did in your capacity as that role
• If a seer dies at night, and they left a message like "iow", that is a hint, meaning that someone who has a nick starting with "io" was seen as wolf
• If someone seen as wolf claims to be a safe, and nobody else contests the claim, then they might just be a cursed villager.
• If you are a harlot, chances are you will not die if you visit the crazed shaman, but you will not get any new information either.

• Confer with the lead safe before taking any action, if there is one. Don't just blindly take actions. The lead safe is there for a reason. (If you are lead safe, and unsure what to do, ask your safes for advice)
• If you are villager, your job is to follow the lead safe as well as provide fake hints, such as "visiting iovoid" and "sw", so it isn't blatantly obvious to the wolves who the seer, harlot and other important safe roles are.
• Fake hinting is not only not bad, but VERY IMPORTANT in misleading the wolves. The idea is to protect the safes, so that they don't know who the real safe really is. Don't lynch someone because they fake claimed at night.
• If you are a wolf, and someone hints a cursed villager as wolf, you should kill them because chances are they are seer/oracle/augur.
• If there is only one wolf and you are hinted, you might want to avoid killing that person. If they were a safe, you will be voted anyway. If they weren't, you just wasted your kill.
• When you are the last safe alive, you should try to act fast, or you might be killed before you can relay the information to the channel.
• Crazed Shaman (CS) can choose to claim or not since, except rare circumstances, they can't win.
• After the traitor turns (lykos will print a message saying the wolves are not gone), users previously seen as "villager" might have become wolves.
• Avoid killing the CS (if they are known) unless they are antagonizing you.
• Role-Specific Advice: User:Timson/strategy drabble#Role-specific advice
• Roles: Roles
• Game Modes: Game modes
• If you have a lover, PM them to coordinate and determine your strategy. If possible, try to win with them.
• Claiming Priority for different Game modes: User:Timson/strategy drabble#Claiming priority
• PM CONFIRMED LEAD SAFE IF YOU ARE A SAFE.
• Don't PM unconfirmed safes. If that user is wolf they will kill you.
• (Sleepy) If a wolf dies, saying "kill [nick on your list]" beforehand, and you are dullahan, you should avoid killing that nick. That nick is most likely the priest and unless you can do so, such that, either A) the game ends with all the players on your list dead, or B) there is still a greater number of villagers than wolves. Keep in mind, the wolves will also be killing someone that night, as well as possibly other roles.
• Don't see confirmed wolves or take "redundant" actions.

How to run lykos in Ubuntu/Debian

You need to have git and python3 installed, if you don't, run:

sudo apt install git python3

Next, you need to get a copy of the source:

git clone https://github.com/lykoss/lykos.git
cd lykos
cp botconfig.py.example botconfig.py

Then, edit botconfig.py with the appropriate values.

Finally, to run it, you need to execute:

./wolfbot.py
