Battle of viruses
MacadamiaNuts:
I introduced the Green Hacker veggie with a pair of hijacking style virus that attempt to fuse themselves with some of the host's original DNA.
Watch for genes with appended code including a .mrepro instruction.
shvarz:
Yes, I see them! Let's see what happens... I think what my bots have been doing is increasing their mutation rate on their own. High mutation rates kill viruses as efficiently as bots, so including mrepro may not be the best approach
shvarz:
Well, your virus did not take. Or at least it's not any worse than other viruses. I now have ~25 of your veggies in my sim. There was an initial burst of this virus, but then things quited down and now I rarely see it.
Shasta:
I released a virus/bot called cloner a few days ago that would overwrite all of the host genes. It didn't do very well, as it was too long and the virus took forever to make , and shrinking violet promptly came in and took them all out. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Isn't .delgene reset every cycle? I actually just intended that as a defense against someone trying to delgene the virus (it would then delgene whatever gene was behind it instead).
