Working Trivia Bot

Hello,

My guildmates and I were wondering if there is a trivia bot that works on vanilla for use in our guild chat? Can anyone point us in the right direction? Thank you!

I've dug up the oldest TriviaBot I could find in my backups (1.2 for vanilla) and updated it to fix some errors (missing default question list was causing it to bomb at initialization)

Download: https://github.com/Dridzt/TriviaBot/rel ... 1.22-11200
Virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/f6969 ... 452866339/

This early version had no GUI, /trivia for options.
A couple important notes.
- /yell has been removed from options, its potential for abuse is too large due to range.
- general,trade,lookingforgroup,guildrecruitment,localdefence,worlddefence channels are also blacklisted and a warning is posted if you try to join TriviaBot to one, that you risk channel-mute and potentially ban.
If I missed a global server channel tell me so I can add it to the blacklist.

/say I have reluctantly left in as an option, since range is small and I hope people will not camp every mailbox and AH.
Don't use it where it might annoy people so it can stay alive (making a cooking fire a little off to the side and starting it, is a good way to attract willing participants).

Group channels (party,raid), guild and custom channels (eg. "trivia") are good options since they're all player moderated and guild / group leadership has ways to control use.
