5: Aberdeen (selenium_wolf)

Instructions

To win this battle you must occupy a majority of the hosts for as long as possible. You occupy a host if you have more EXAs in it than your opponent.

 Gain one point every cycle you occupy more hosts than your opponent.

 Lose one point every time one of your EXAs executes a KILL instruction.

Writing any value to the #NUKE register will destroy all EXAs in that host, including the EXA that triggered it.

For more information see "Hacker Battle Domination" in the second issue of the zine.
