Welcome to my first mod!

It's a simple mod I used to teach me how to handle whispers from other World of Warcraft users, and send whispers back to them. I'm also using it to teach myself Lua in my spare time, so there's random number generation, a simple table lookup, and some functions and conditionals.

Being that I've learned what I want to from this mod I don't really plan on adding much functionality. I'm hoping in the worst case that my fellow guildies who enjoy it download it, and in the best case multiple people download it, enjoy it, and use it as a stepping-stone to learn how to make a simple WoW mod.

Usage:

When someone whispers you !eb (that's exclamation mark + eb) or !eightball when you have this mod enabled, it spits back one of 20 random messages from a magic eight ball.

If you message yourself, it just shows white text with the response in your normal chat pane.

Typing /eb or /eightball will toggle disable the mod from responding to !eb/!eightball, and this is saved across characters. I used this part to teach myself slash command handling and saved variables.

Hopefully starting mod developers learn a little from this simple mod, and people have some fun with it.
