Read them.
--- Quote from: fulizer ---ok then by ejecting viruses we will need an example
the common cold causes people to sneeze when they do so it releases millions of its decendents into the air
id darwinbots it will only release one because of a limitation on virus creatons.

There is not a single cold-virus. There are two major versions. But anyway.
Normally with a virus in reality, if the virus reproduces, simply spoken the virus kills the cell and then spreids a lot of virussus around.

Not necessarily. There are many different strategies viruses use.
I actually agree with fulizer, that viruses could be improved by giving them more control of their behavior. The severe limit on the number of shots released should go first. But even in the current form they are pretty cool. It's all about balancing people's interests - we only have one active programmer at the moment and he can do only so much. He's working on sexrepro now, but maybe some time he'll find a day or two to improve viruses as well.
P.S: Peter, your spelling is pretty awful too, so don't be a smart-mouth

Maybe forum ranks could be determined from spelling and grammar ability instead of number of posts

fulizer's argument is based on real life multicelular infected bodies, not single bots which is what the game emulates. If you want the cold effect, program it, it is possible provided it only activates in multicellular organism, then activate the fire virus gene which in turn does something simular to a sneeze and fires all the viruses out at once. The argument is based on somethinge which has no concrete backing. The first things that should be adressed is dna transfer through bot ties, this would really make sexual reproduction easier, along with multibot-viral-infections.
