Yes there is a max pages number, but usually in the NESing area MODs don't really go hard to make sure all threads are that size. Ask a MOD and choose if to start a new thread or not.

 

[Abaddon]

Yea, in theory there is a 1000 post limit, but that is an artefact of older forum coding. It doesnt matter how big a thread gets, and certainly in the NES forums we have been shunning that rule for a goodwhile anyway!

Bathyscaper: North King
Evolved from: Plankton
Survival Status: Competing
Genes (3): Mineral Eating x1, Pressure Resistance x1, Eating Dead Things x1


AND

Bathystower: NPC
Evolved from: Bathyscaper
Survival Status: Competing
Genes (5): Mineral Eating x1, Pressure Resistance x1, Eating Dead Things x1, Large Size x1, Heat Resistance x1
Description: Over countless millions of years, the Bathyscaper slowly evolved into a new form. The Bathystower can survive next to the hot volcanic vents on the sea floor, and thrive on the extra minerals found there. They grow much taller and wider than their ancestors, forming elegant spires in the dark depths.


are very simular creatures to what you posted. Unlikely that daft would take it as a "new" creature, but you could still do that as an evolution. Use the Bathystower, remove the eating dead things and large size genes and add your #1 which I'm not sure what that would be within game, so someone more knowledgeable than I would have to advise you on what you could add.

Aside from that...Welcome to the game and have fun.

oh okay then, I think that would make it better, but if there is something for it to have evolved from then I think the larger size gene is good.

Yellow Bathysplate: bestshot9
Evolved from: Bathystower
Survival status: ? (Idk what to put here right now )
Genes (5): Mineral eating x2, Pressure resistance x1, Large surface area x1, Heat resistance x1
Description: Very similar to the Bathystower, the Yellow Bathysplate evolved from that organisim on the ocean floor. Unlike the other Bathystower, this organism does not feed on left over organic materials but only the minearls found in the volcanic sea vents. It isn't as tall as the Bathystower, because it doesn't need to reach up to collect raining organic material, but instead has a much wider surface area and resembles a plate, growing very near the vents to so it has a better chance at collecting the minerals there. It gets the "yellow" in its name because of all the sulfur in its body (which it is able to use for energy) makes the originally semi-transparent organism appear yellow.

how's that then?

 

[Fuschia]

I think you can still add two more genes if you want to, as removal and addition are two separate functions. Also, you don't need to add anything for survival status right now.

 

[bestshot9]

ooh okay then, tell me if this works:

Yellow Bathysplate: bestshot9
Evolved from: Bathystower
Survival status: ?
Genes (5): Mineral eating x2, Pressure resistance x1, Large surface area x1, Heat resistance x1, Anchors x1
Description: Very similar to the Bathystower, the Yellow Bathysplate evolved from that organisim on the ocean floor.

It gets the "yellow" in its name because of all the sulfur in its body (which it is able to use for energy) makes the originally semi-transparent organism appear yellow. The organism also has very primative anchor-like structures that dig into the rock around the ocean vents to hold it in place and not get washed away by currents.

(oh and idk if this is a plant or animal either... what was the blathystower so i can know if this is a plant or animal also?)

 

[Abaddon]

Usual layout is thus:

Yellow Bathysplate: bestshot9
Evolved from: Bathystower
Survival status: ?
Genes (5): Mineral eating x2, Pressure resistance x1, Large surface area x1, Heat resistance x1, Anchors x1
Genes Added (2) : This x 1, That x 1
Genes Removed (0):

Means daft can easily see whats changed.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Plant/Animal is an arbitrary definition. It's an organism, at any rate.

 

[bestshot9]

oh okay sorry, lemme try one more time lol

OOC: DAFT the Tundara Oltic Scraper came from the Oltic Scraper and not the Ol scraper.

This is the full table of the Finners. From tiny Spikes on the bottom of the sea to one of the most powerful families of living things. The first creatures to develop a spine yet somehow a different creature altogether.
A green arrow before a creature means it still exist in some way.

The oldest Finner in existence is actually the Lung Scraper, not even a Sea Finner... And one of the beginning species of the Finner family on land.

May I add this is probably also the most nonlinear family. (Except for it's beginning which is still mostly nonlinear for coming to be by one person until the coming to the land...)
I am indeed proud of them all.

 

[Abaddon]

Very impressive. Wish we had all the tables.

 

[Terrance888]

Ahhhh... the good old days when we control them all! Brings many familiar memories...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

@erez- I'd challenge that, the Scuterids are far more varied and branched. We have everything from soft, deep-water scavengers to graceful fliers to herding land grazers, and in the past we were apex predators. I could post the evolution tree again...

 

[Daftpanzer]

Welcome, bestshot9!

The Yellow Bathysplate looks good - and yes, it is probably better and more logical to evolve from something similar to what you wanted, rather than try to build it from scratch.

(oh and idk if this is a plant or animal either... what was the blathystower so i can know if this is a plant or animal also?)

Anything that doesn't move in its adult form, I've called a 'plant' . I realise that doesn't really make sense, its just for simplicity's sake in this NES.

DAFT

Hmm, thanks for the info. Although based on what Abaddon said, I might just wait until one of the mods says something. Im quite proud of the number of pages

OOC: DAFT the Tundara Oltic Scraper came from the Oltic Scraper and not the Ol scraper.

Thanks for pointing that out, a mistake when I copied from the old creature and forgot to change it. Ive fixed it in my current stats doc.

May I add this is probably also the most nonlinear family. (Except for it's beginning which is still mostly nonlinear for coming to be by one person until the coming to the land...)

Very impressive chart! Its a shame that so many of the finner branches died out

As Lord_Iggy said, though, the Scuterids are spread from the ocean floor, to the treetops, and beyond. I believe they are the most diverse group overall.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Well, extinction and failure are the nature of evolution...

Here's a chart showing part of my Tree of Life image. It shows Spikii and Dibbleria, with Scuteridae visible as all descendents of the Huhuwanapi los Terrios.

 

[erez87]

I didn't say we are the most varied in where Finners live. I said most nonlinear evolution line. Thought it is only right after someone else joined me in evolution. After the Prime Finner II there are short linear evolutions and than its none stop breaking. (I admit some of it is only cause daft is killing more Finners than I can make new )

[\QUOTE]

If you'd like, I know the things that an organism has to meet to be considered a plant, animal, and fungus.

plant: multicellular prokaryotic autotroph with cell walls (means multicelluar organism, each cell has a nucleus and cell walls, and it makes its own food.)

fungus: multicellular prokaryotic heterotroph with cell walls (means multicellular organism, each cell has a nucleus, cell walls, but doesn't make its own food.)

animal: multicellular prokaryotic heterotroph without cell walls (means multicellular organism, each cell has nucleus but no cell walls, and doesn't make its own food.)

so by that definition the bathysphere would be either a fungus or an animal (depending on whether or not it has cell walls, do you know? lol)

 

[Fuschia]

Well, technically all plants "eat" minerals. As such, using that to rule out plants is being a tad unrealistic. Then again, it also does not eat other organisms, which is the general rule for being an animal or a fungus. As such, it would most likely be classified with the slime molds or some other strange multicellular protist group.

I think that is right. Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't been through Biology in a while...

 

[Abaddon]

Plants merely take up things on a gradient, an perhaps a bit of active uptake.. i don't think there is any "eating".. but how are we defining eating? phagocytosis?

 

[bestshot9]

ya, that sounds like the best bet, but my bio/zoology teacher had me under the impression that plants don't eat anything they get from anything else, they just use it in the process of making sugars, etc. but then, they'd have to eat minerals right? i mean all organisms need minerals in their bodies, animals just get them from other organisms (like salt, iron, etc.) and plants would have to get them from the ground, so they would techincally be eating minerals. I'll have to ask my teacher about this next week.

and ya that's kinda the impression i had by this group, that they were some form of colonial protists, but i thought Daft wanted everything to be a bit more advanced then that by now. /shrug misinterpretation i guess.

 

[erez87]

There is no such thing as plant or animal. It's just names humans gave to things that looked different. Today it is known that it's nonsense.
