PurpleYouko:
I'm pretty sure I put in safeguards against gene deletion from anything external to the bots own DNA, as far back as 2.36
Maybe it got lost after that.

TheArchivist:
"Or worse" he says....

I was wondering, is it possible to write an "end" instruction using a virus? That would certainly have catastrophic effects, but it's comically sadistic and probably impossible anyway.

Failing that, the old trick about rotating the bot will probably work, or maybe forcing it to expel energy INTO THE SENTRY.  

All in good fun, of course.

P.S. What's a signature?

Elite:
cond
 ' conspec recognition goes here
start
 *.thisgene 1 rnd 2 mult -1 add add .delgene store
stop

^ The above virus wipes DNA clean. There's nothing left but an empty shell

Except is doesn't work on bots with anti-virus defences

Maybe a really large venom shot:

.shoot .vloc store
-2 .venval

or, if you really want to be mean:

.myeye .vloc store
*.myeye .venval store

bots with .refeye-based conspec recognition immediately convert and fight alongside you, killing their conspecs while leaving you alone

fulizer:
wow converting bots would rule.
ofcourse in lueges (bad spelling alert!) neither bot will attack each other and it will never end

Numsgil:
No, you're missing the point.  If you venom the .myeye, you can change who the bot thinks is a friend, but you'll still be able to tell the difference.  And then venom wears off after a while.
