NESLife attempt #3

[Lord_Iggy]

And I was attempting to be humourous without using smileys for once.

Obviously.

Any news on the update?

 

[Immaculate]

Spoiler :

Burrowing Zeeboo: Kol.7
Evolved from: Mountain Zeeboo
Role:complex, hardy, specialised land plant/lithovore
Habitat: cold/temperate mineral-rich land/mountains/deserts
Survival Status: Competing
Genes (37): Photosynthesis x5, Mass Reproduction x3, Roots x5, Stems x1, Water Retention x4, Regeneration x1, Mineral Eating x5, Protected Seeds x1, Fast Growth x1, Vibration sense x1, Vocalisation x1, Cold Resistance x4, Stem x1, Hibernation x2, Airborne Seeds x2
Description: The Mountain Zeeboo quickly began to adapt to their environment, as such, the Burrowing Zeeboo was created. The burrowing Zeeboo's roots can grow far, far deeper than their predecessors to allow them to access much greater amount of minerals, the roots are also able to extend over greater distances. When two burrowing zeeboo's roots attach they can cooperate by exchanging minerals, water and starch and they can communicate using sounds as well as a silently through their roots, what they used this communication for is as yet unknown. With roots now able to tap into underground lakes and rivers, sheltered from freezing, the Burrowing Zeeboo shouldn't have much trouble finding water.

Inflaboo (immaculate)
from: Burrowing Zeeboo: Kol.7
Genes added: Leaves x2, Flight x1
Genes removed: vocalisation

The inflaboo is very different morphologically and functionally from its ancestor, but retains many of the same tools and adaptations, only used in a different way.
The burrowing zeeboo is a static plant, well suited to its location. Its progeny colonize new areas while it sends down deeper and deeper roots.
The inflaboo turns that function on its head. It has grown thin, cabbage-like leaves at its apex which form into a sac or bulb. This bulb is structurally weak but molecular gates actively pump inert nitrogen gas from the environment into it (while selectively deriving oxygen and carbon dioxide for its photosynthesis and respiration from within the sac). This gas is lighter then the combined gases of the atmosphere (which is mixed with heavier oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as slew of other, less common gases) and gives the Inflaboo's bulb/sac buoyancy. In addition, the stem is thinned and lengthened considerably and is barely thicker than a thin branch (a huge morphological change). The roots no longer dig deep into the ground for nutrition, instead they snake along the surface of the earth (or puddle or swamp or whatever) taking what surface moisture is available. By releasing its hold on the earth and by drastically reducing its overall weight, the inflaboo has become subject to every passing gust of wind which can cause it to drift along, dragging its stem and roots like a half-filled child’s balloon. This, no doubt, was evolved to assist the Inflaboo to colonize geographically isolated areas. In addition, it may allow the Inflaboo to derive moisture when blown into a wet area and mineral nutrition when blown into an area with rich soil. By staying on the move, it can balance its energy, water, and nutritional requirements.

So, this is my first evolution for your NES. I read so many posts (about 2/3 of the way through- on extinction #3 now) in this tread and I was really impressed and I decided to just jump in. I realize this may be late for the current update, but if its not, that would be great.

Thanks,
Immac.

Great idea! I hope Daft accepts it.

 

[bestshot9]

nice man, welcome to this nes, now you can wait patiently with the rest of us!

 

[tuxedohamm]

As an interesting thing to note, through my incomplete check through the most recent stats I have counted up to 115 unique genes that currently exist with only 8 genes providing energy (eating) and 11 genes providing movement.

Roughly 21 Categories of genes now:
Food/Energy Processing
Movement
Senses: Detecting
Senses: Producing
Senses: Confusing
Environment Adaptation
Outer Structures
Inner Structures
Growth
Chemical War: Producing
Chemical War: Resisting
Spikes/Claws
Tendrils/Tentacles
Seeds/Eggs/Babies
Plant Structures
Mouth Structures
Traps
General Behavior
Reproductive Behavior
Secretions
Inner Organs

BTW, how long until the update?

 

[Sliver Slave]

IT UPDATED! ZOMG!

Darn. Apparently, wanting it to happen doesn't make it so >:

 

[Abaddon]

IT UPDATED! ZOMG!

Darn. Apparently, wanting it to happen doesn't make it so >:

Damn you! I only read the start of your post and started looking through the previous pages.

DP, this is where I state the wait has been long enough

 

[bestshot9]

and i shall not bother people with being patient now, as my patience has finally run out, too. Update, PLEASE!

Spoiler :

Bariot
Genes (35): Crawling x2, Plant Eating x4, Complex Stomach x2, Exoskeleton x2, Communal Behaviour x2, Water Retention x3, Lungs x2, Cold Resistance x2, Eyes x2, Walking x3, Brain Power x2, Live Young x1, Smelling x1, Vibration Sense x1, Hooves x2, Jaws x1, Parenting Instinct x2, Hibernation x1
Genes Added: Hooves x1, Cold Resistance x1, Hibernation x1

Barius: Nailix
Evolved from: Bariot
Habbitat: Mountain/Hills
Survival Status: ?
Genes : Genes (35): Crawling x2, Plant Eating x4, Complex Stomach x2, Exoskeleton x2, Communal Behaviour x2, Water Retention x3, Lungs x2, Cold Resistance x2, Eyes x2, Walking x3, Brain Power x3, Live Young x1, Smelling x1, Vibration Sense x1, Hooves x2, Jaws x2, Parenting Instinct x2, Hibernation x1, Food Retention x1
Genes Added: Brain Power x1, Jaws x1, Food Retention x1.
Description: The Barius if pretty similar to the Bariot, except it has gained a better ability to ratain food for long periods of time (not just hibernating) so not only does it get more from its food, but it can last longer times roaming around looking for food. Also this creature is some what more intelligent then it's ancestor in that it can think more clearly which can help them find food, water and safe places to nest in. Finally with its stronger jaws it can eat tougher plants and fight off preditors easier, which as everyone knows this is a big help in surviving.

And yes I am back to this NES now.

 

[Sliver Slave]

Stuck in that time warp are ya?

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Maybe someone should PM Daftpanzer.

 

[Nailix]

time warp?

 

[Sliver Slave]

Someone decided that daft is stuck in a time warp, and that if it was normal, he could update 3 times a day.

 

[Terrance888]

I proposed the original Hypothesis! A day for him seems like years for us So he DOES update 3 times a day, but it seems like years (weeks) for us.

 

[Nailix]

lol i think he's just busy with his other nes... now i remember why i stopped playing this nes... haha.

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Which NES do you mean?

EDIT: Oops- the Alternate Timeline thing.

 

[bestshot9]

well he is on vacation right now.
