PORTING PERKS
by Tickenest
Well, it finally happened. After
slightly over a year of owning planet Tick, I finally
built my very own teleporter. I then proceeded to die
forty-seven thousand times within an hour, even with the
lag. Much to my dismay, I, contrary to my hopes, was
unable to telefrag people, as I had hoped to. (Note:
A telefrag is the teleporting into space already occupied
by another person. The person telefragged becomes tiny
bits and the telefragger emerges unscathed. I suppose
this feature was not included in Federation because it
might upset some people and it's probably hard to program
into a text-based game anyway.) Still, having gotten over
this disappointment, I found many advantages to having a
teleporter. Therefore, I give you...
10.
|
You can haul
eight bays per hour instead of the usual four. |
9.

instead of walking around with no idea where

8.
|
You can feel
proud of yourself for having removed thousands of
tons of commodities from circulation, parted ways
with a couple gigs, and slaughtered ungodly
numbers of workthingies. |
7.
|
The free
refills at Fedruckers. |
6.
|
It makes
returning library books on time *SO MUCH* easier. |

2.

arrival.) |
