I have a trivia bot that I wrote up today working.

Just type "trivia" in say and the menu will come up.

You need to turn on the trivia to see the questions.

Let me know if its working, broken, or if you like it.

I'm still polishing it, but would like to test it out with everyone to make sure its working.

Eventually players can gain FREE EZ Credits by having top score at the end of the month.

This will give you something to do too besides /gems while waiting for a spawn.

Enjoy!

If anyone can find or submit a database of questions relating to video games or even specifically EQ then that would be great too.

It can be any format, such as excel, or text.

If spreadsheet like excel then just put question in one column and answers in the next column.

If using text then you can have 1 line per Q&A with the question and answer seperated by a * character since lots of questions usually have commas and quotation marks in them.

Really, any format should work though. I can convert them, then import into my custom Q&A table.

Keep me posted, how to improve and such.

I realize sometimes the correct answer isn't showing after the timer is up. Could just be a timer issue. Will try to play with that. Its really minor though.

http://cleverbot.com/

It'll respond to the text you input. I had a friend put this via some API in a game with many foreign players. They would send him a tell, and he would reply with Cleverbot's response.

This would go on for about 30 minutes before he felt sorry for the person and turned it off.

Thanks for the link, I'll check that out.

Trivia 'should' now show you the correct answer after every round.

Haven't had a chance to polish the menu anymore yet. Just let me know what you'd like to see in the Trivia Menu.

We had a good test run with a 64,000 Q&A sample. Now I combined all the random trivia I have together.

Spent the whole day formatting that entire Q&A pool to have a cleaner and similar format

Attempted to remove duplicate records where the question and the answer were the same.

I haven't had a chance to format or add any Video Game or Jeopardy Q&A's yet.

I'd love to find a way of getting all their Q&A's in any text format such as excel, text, sql, or anything.
