Take 2.
Be gentle with it, it's only newborn, and doing things like providing answers to nonexistant questions is liable to give nasty error messages.
If you find any bugs or want any other features, shout and I'll either snort in disgust at the insolence of your demands or add it quickly (quite possibly both).
If you think it's no help, then tell me why!Attached Files

OK - it's prettty simple.
First paste in the questions (You can pretty much copy/paste them from your post above, but you'll have to fiddle the last question a bit), and click Add.
Then paste in each players answers as they arrive, and click add.
Questions must be in the format:
[Question number]. [Question]
Although the number needn't be an actual number (as evidenced by the example below). It must be only one line per question, though (blank lines are ignored).
So, for example, for the above questions you might use:
1. How many roads must a man walk down?
2. If dogs run free, why am I stuck in Mobile?
3. Who is the "Neighborhood Bully"?
4. Who's dying in "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"?
5. Fill in the blank: Like a rolling _____
6. What killed Frankie Lee?
7. Fill in the blank: There's no success like _____
8. When did I marry Isis?
9. Where's the blind commissioner's other hand?
10. What lush resort nation has a sunny sky of aqua blue?
11. What's wrong with the hanging judge?
12. Who could have carved out the Jokerman's future?
13. What does the man in the coonskin cap with a pigpen want?
14. Something's happening here. What is it?
15. When you're hunted like a crocodile, where are you likely to be ravaged?
Bonus Obligatory Bill Hicks Question. What comes next in this series? Elite Republican Guard, Republican Guard, __________
[Player name]
[Question number]. [Answer]
.

[Question number]. [Answer]
for example:
J Bytheway

Now I'll just go try to fix that bug...

OK, here you go. It uses the .NET libraries, so you'll need to get the .NET 1.1 runtime environment (the best way is Windows Update).
If you're not running Windows, then I can give you the source code and you might be able to compile it with Mono under Linux, if you're lucky.
I'll post some brief useage instructions soon.
Edit: Oops, found another bug. Will post a replacement version in a moment...

OK, I'll clean out a few more glitches and post it here. Probably tomorrow evening (A very risky thing to say on an IWS thread, I know )...

J, I'll be happy to take a look at it, but I'm skeptical as to how automated the process could be, considering that the answers are in different screens and the same answer from two different people can be worded very differently. I've got a spreadsheet set up that handles the onerous part of it, getting all the answers in a handy format and in one place.
