I was just curious about people's ideas on bombing. If you're going to
bomb someone, why use decrementing, jmp's to slave pits, and such? WHy
not just bomb a typical DAT and destroy them right there? It seems
to me that keeping them alive longer just prolongs the battle and
gives them a slightly better chance to survive. The only use I see
for using anything but DAT's is perhaps for bombing someone's data
area with decrements, to try to make them destroy themselves. Perhaps
I am missing something. Anybody have any helpful insight on this?
