This is brilliant - I imagine they'll have to hope the incessant "rm -rf *" commands don't get spammed, if they are running under root. Looking forward to it.

Hey guys, author here. Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!

Answering the question in the introduction: No, I do not remember how chaotic Twitch Plays Pokemon was. I do not even know what you are talking about. And since you do not even give me a link, I am not sure I should care. I finally figured out what this is, but the site was not very helpful.

This is going to be amazing
