Rickroll on BBS?
reddit / bbs

For no particular reason, I took it upon myself to create the most
overcomplicated rickroll ever. I want the end stage to be logging on
to a BBS that plays this:

https://github.com/keroserene/rickrollrc

Then exits to a sarcastic congratulations message, and a "leaderboard"
where my victims can post how much time they wasted on my pointless
ARG. How would I do this, preferably with Mystic BBS? How would I get
sound?

I'm a little torn on how to feel about this as the assets are hosted
at an external URL vs. the Github Repo.

I'm not SAYING it's Malware -- I'm just saying I wouldn't trust it.

It requires python for the video portion.

Hmmmm. I’m like I have python... but I just reinstalled Linux, so...
right. Derp.  Thx, fun stuff.

Is there some way I could play this WITH SOUND on a BBS?

Prolly not, useless, that’s what I was looking to try. I run
20ForBeers.com:1337 come over and let’s chat about ideas.

How does python display the ANSI graphics???

I have no idea how it works. I just know it spit a python error at me.

What connection type?

If I use SSH it prompts me for a password.

Yea you have to have an account first. Telnet on port 1337, but you
have to use an ANSI terminal like syncTerm or netrunner:

SyncTerm.bbsdev.net
Mysticbbs.com

Or use my.ftelnet.ca

To connect.
