+rct-guest is a Fediverse bot that posts a random string in the style of thoughts from Roller Coaster Tycoon. All of the thoughts that appear in the first and second games appear. Thoughts such as "I'm not going on _____ while it's raining!" will be filled in with a ride name and a number, such as Swinging Ship 2.
+
+Before using this bot, you'll need to create an account on an instance (I recommend [botsin.space](https://botsin.space)) and run `login.py` to log in.
