********************************************************************************

Regarding .i Modifier     : No .i means that you can't copy any kind of instructions.
                            No bootstrapping, no replication, no DAT-bombing, 
                            no SPL-wiping etc.

Regarding # adressing mode: Without # your code will be vulnerable against incrementing
                            and decrementing of your instructions. That also means that
                            incrementing and decrementing is your only offensive!!!
                            You have to drive your opponent into suicide.

Some possible strategies:   "coreclear"   linear in/dec-wipe of the core
                            "stone"       in/dec the core in steps
                            "scanner"     scan for opponent and in/dec-wipe them
                            "self-repair" fix your own code if in/dec attacked
                            "vampire"     collect opponents processes by redirecting
                                          opponents spl-instruction and take advantage
                            "parasite"    simply jumps into opponents code

Good luck
