I got a friend who likes to travel randomly to random places.. he now found some dudes who share this hobby.

So now there is a thing running on my server ticking everyday, 10am, with a 1:150 probability to send a sms to 7 numbers (including me) which tells them to travel to budapest.

FYI: he and his friends study engineering, i study too. So 1:150 may sound pretty low at first but we don't have that much time over the year actually.:D

Russian Roulette Travelling is a thing now.😁

    It should have picked a random location on a map as well.

    @Codex404 That's how you end up in a warzone, or Siberia

    @Codex404 @d4ng3r0u5 we actually thought of that, too. Locations with specific probabilities.:D

    @d4ng3r0u5 then make an exclude/include countries list and pick some random place/places in the randomly chosen country from the list. That way its random and safe.

    the location should be decided by the line that has a discount (and it's no war zone)

    @Wack the thing with mails is that my server has a horrible reputation.):

    Simply awesome.

    It should also send multiple people and to a specific hostel, so you can meet new enthusiasts there. Then you should build a community around it and meet new people.
