RE: [life] Name that game

["Dijk, Jeroen van (GNS)" <J.vanDijk@getronics.nl>]

There was a subgame called viruses in a game where you could change the
rules and votes for those changes. The game as far as I know ended. 
Does someone knows the name of that game?

it IS mine   :-)

I'd argue that if there's already a DIFFERENT game called virusses, then
we'd do best to avoid names like viri, virii, viruses, etc. If there's
some kind of copyright on the name "game of life" (is there really? I'm
sure I've seen a COMPLETELY different "game of life" board game in the
UK, looks more like monopoly), then we can't very well call it anything
like that either. We could go for something COMPLETELY different like
"survival", "species", or "animals"?

< Survival is allread a name of a game on this server.>
< Species is a nice name too, but is used for another email game.>
< Animals is nice, but the rules are too simple for a simulation of
animals.>


How about "2's company 3's an orgy", which seems to be a nice summary of
the rules?   :-)
