Development

The bot looks for a couple things to run:

• a GUILD_ID environment variable, this is what guild the bot looks in while running the various loops it has
• a BUILDER_BOT_TOKEN environment variable, this is the token for the bot to use to connect to Discord
• a TICKETBAN_ROLE_ID environment variable, this is the role id for the role that is banned from creating tickets
• an AssociatesConfiguration entry, this just defines the category for the bot to watch and create start messages in, as well as the delay for retakes and the role id to give
• an AssociatesQuiz entry, which is just what ties all the questions together
  • any number of AssociatesQuestions entries, which are just the questions with the question text
    • any number of AssociatesQuestionChoices entries, which are the choices for the question, they can me marked as correct or not
