And no agressive use of ties? And I suppose rape would also be forbidden.

Ok, clarification: no ties at all means no using the trick to get rid of the birth tie in 2 cycles, right?
Also, I didn't see a verdict regarding powered up shots.

I don't see the harm in allowing people to delete ties, and I don't think you need to form a new tie to get rid of the birth tie anymore...
Deleting incoming ties won't affect the F3 leagues but it'll make it easyer for F3 bots to comete in F2...

Powering up shots should be fairly balanced. It's a logarithmic scale, so you have to spend a great deal more nrg to get a shot 8x normal.
Hadn't thought about birth ties. Can anyone experiment deleting it without producing a new tie?

I think .deltie inc should do it... I used that in the Neural Network evo bot I was running to avoid tie bots from evolving... and it seemed to break birth ties imediatly aswell...

Confirmed. The birth tie has tie phase 1 in the offspring, but tie phase 0 in the parent. The offspring seems to be able to use it like a regular soft tie. (feeding, etc)

I can go either way on birth ties. It might be interesting to have birth ties be more than just a random hurdle that bots have to overcome. If you're a fast reproducing bot, you either waste lots of nrg fighting the birth ties or you wait it out until the birth ties disappears.

Why not use the birth tie so parents can drag offspring to veggie sources?
