I created an UT99 server with a bot called "Elon Musk", if you kill it, it'll send a tweet to Elon!

Post by Inpu »

Hello!

As a fun project, I created an UT99 server that has a bot called "Elon Musk". If you kill it before it kills you, we'll send a tweet automatically to Elon along with your name and the weapon you used ! You'll also score a point for #TeamEarth. We're keeping scores.

We'll also inform Elon if the bot kills you first !

The twitter account in question is the following : https://twitter.com/FindGmanMusk, top tweet has the IP address of the server.

I've been managing Half-life's server with this gamemode for a while now, I've been eager to do it for my other favorite franchise!

Have fun :]

Full disclaimer : I have nothing against Elon! I actually like some of the things he did! It's just a dumb project made during a wave of nostalgia. Half-life, Unreal and all these mods made my childhood so I wanted to relive these moments where servers had stupid plugins installed.

Not entirely accurate, a skim of the posts on the account shows it isn't sending posts to Elon Musk, as it doesn't use the @. Instead it's hashtagging his name, which wouldn't show up in his mentions.

That's true, at first I was doing a "@ElonMusk", but my API account got banned real quick :D
