New ?go Trivia db?

[paradise!]

I can't remember if turban was working on one or not. I'd like to contribute my time to creating a new bank of questions. Pretty boring to watch Luc the destroyer and company rape trivia with memorized answers. Too many bullshit questions dealing with short-lived family sitcoms of the 1950s, random estonian death metal bands, and highly ranked snooker players living in Barbados.

I'd be willing to put a more realistic one together, with the help of another person. Could I write them in a .txt file Questions on one column and answers tabbed in the other, and hopefully we maintain the same hint feature?

Thoughts?

Sounds GOOD. I would support you, but i'm very short bound when it comes to free time until October 11. After that, i would be in to help you with it.

Actually a very good idea

I'll take you up on your offer, Paradise. Here is the format that is needed,

I need you to put a number, this number will indicate what category your question is from. Here are the numbers and the categories associated:

This should then be followed by the question relating to the category number you pick, and then the answer. If the answer has multiple possibilities, it should be separated by a |. For example, if the answer is 10, you would put 10|ten.

So to conclude, this is the format I'm looking for,

3 Name one of two deans of TW Staff? M_M God|Tres

3 is the category Subspace.
'Name one of two deans of TW Staff?' is the question
M_M God|Tres is the answer, players can either pick Tres or M_M God and they will get the correct answer.

As you can see, this takes a hell of alot of time for people to format simple questions and answers to be read by the bot.

Thanks Paradise :P

Oh and about the multiple Pop Categories, just pick any of them, I don't think it really matters.

this would be great ))))

Can we get a European and an American version?

[mtine]

Me and Dral added around 1000 questions last month to the bot, more on the way.

Back in the day when Melufa played he lived 3hrs away in a small podunk Arkansas town so him and his friends would drive into town, we hung out a few times and he even crashed at my parents house, anyways where this is going is he was playing on his name (he was Diso back when that was a prestigious thing) and I watched him absolutely demolish trivia, he had literally all the answers memorized. Also months or maybe actually even years later I was really stoned and he called me and I had to drive to a nearby tack bell, him and his family were driving through and got a flat tire and like didn't have a jack, so I got to fix melufa's flat tire and look like a man in front of his family and my hot asian ex-girlfriend. the moral is get new trivia questions
