A new kind of vampire or master and slave
« on: September 22, 2005, 07:49:08 AM »
ok I thought why do all the work by yourself?
A Virusbot could just insert a virus in the Dna of Algaes make them collect energy, prevent them to reproduce(so energy gets stored and the algae mutations does not kill of everybody) and then let them seek out their "master" and his kind(the virusbot or like I call it the "vampire").

Such a master and slave relation would be created what do you think?

Great idea.

Hope you can implement it.

But how will this veg find his master?  Will the master just hang out at some dark street corner during cycle 5488?  :P

I was thinking that the gene could have some kind of identification code built in that will fire energy whenever it sees a bot that matches the ID.

That would be pretty cool for a combat bot to have.  If all your enemy is infected, they'll just hunt you down and give you their energy.  Defenses be damned.
