Uplink and Vultures

[sobrique]

I've just noticed that Uplink has a patch. A gameplay patch. It adds 'LAN' hacking.

Now would it be wrong of me to model the Alstom LAN on it?
And the distribute?... ;p

I now have my Disk and code card, so I feel the need to let the addiction begin again. There's this cool website you see. It's called Modlink and it has extra gateways, systems, skins and LANs for uplink. COOOOL.

On another note, a quick straw poll on vulturing. To clarify, vulturing is the process of consuming stuff that's left lying around.

Yay for uplink. Must get around to 'completing' that sometime. As a note - LAN's are like the little Fort Knox's of the Uplink world. Definitely make the game more of a challenge.

And yeah, changing the skin and world map does make the game feel reaaaaaallly nice.
Pity the 'LAN play' mode only lets you connect to another computer *solely* so you can use the monitor. But if you have two computers close enough, I'm sure it adds another dimension to the game :)

Umm - that said, I think it depends on the type of consumables left - if it's going to go off then I'd consume it or throw it out and replace it if anyone complained. No one has the right to make me keep going off food in my home:-P

If it's not perishable I'd probably keep it for a while before I consumed it/check whether it was wanted first.

And as for parties - I might not expect my food back, but I would want the container it was in back eg. if it's in a nice plastic lunchbox type thing.

Oh yeah, the question only applys to consumables (ok, so the definition is variable, but I use it to mean stuff what can be eaten or drunk. Drinked. Drinkled. Whatever ;p).

If I leave my hat behind, I don't expect that to get eaten...

Ooops.

To elaborate on my answer to the last question: I would turn up to help tidy up and eat any left over food then, well, if they offer, but then nobody doesn't really.

At parties i will take my stuff home with me if its uneaten but thats cos i think its cos people don't want it and really hate to leave "Shite" cluttering other peoples space:).

but then i usually expect people to claim stuff if they really want it:).

as for group house food. I'll let you know when i've experience it:)

To be fair, the only thing I don't mess with is beer leftover from gaming nights. It sits in the cupboard until the next week. But that doesn't really count as a "party", does it. ;)

If I bring a bottle of (for instance) gin to a party then sometimes it'll leave with me if there's any left at the point I go home. Usually anything I bring gets left there though; similarly anything anyone leaves here is, under normal circumstances, fair game.

Sometimes the problem is the opposite: packs of unwanted lager cans (well, someone must have wanted them enough to buy them originally, but YKWIM) have been known to go round several parties before finally disappearing.
