The Evolution Game

[RoboPig]

INFO: In this game, the players will create and develop a species in an enviroment. Inspired by Will Wright's Spore

RULES: Every 2 days or so i will post a poll which will come in one of four categories:
1. Information
2. Mutation
3. Add On
4. Other
All players will read the poll and post their vote. I will add on to the creature and post the next poll. The game will continue for atleast ten turns and then in every poll afterwards the players will be allowed to vote to finish developing the creature.

The option with the most votes will win, in case of a tie a tiebreaker will be run. if the tie breaker ends in a tie then a new poll will be set up with new options.
In the Beginning i will post information on the enviroment and in every post afterwards a description of the creature will be availible.

There is no limit to the number of players. You can join in the middle of the game

How small are we going to start with, single cell?

Yup, but one of the first (probably the second) decisions will be to determine size when we become multicellular.

btw, if we get 15 sign ups i will end sign ups prematurely because that many votes would be too many.


Since lots of people seem confused let me give you an example of the game works (remember, just an example, the game hasnt started yet):

Enviroment: A cold arid wasteland with patches of dry grass and a few hard leaves. The summer is usually around 32F and very stormy with lots of snow. The WInter is close to -40F but with more clear skies. The winter is too cold for snow, but chunks of ice are formed. Water is scarce and in the frigid winter the only food and water supply is the snow and ice or the flesh and blood of other animals.

The primary other animals here are tiny furry mammals need impics and a large bird named the tetrydoris.

The Enviroment is very important for making decisions. The creature that we design must be well suited for it's habitat. Because this game spans billions of years the enviroment might change once or twice, probably drastically. When the players vote to end the game the animal will be evaluated based on many factors including it's ability to survive in the enviroment.

Round 1: What should the name be?
1. pillyditor
2.cranzizer
3.xbill
4.civfanatasourus

Not very important but we will stick with one name.

Round 2: What should the creature's size be?
1. 15 inches long
2. 4 feet long
3. 6.5 feet long
4. 10 feet long

Size will increase through each generation or decrease.

We will continue like this and after 10 turns we might choose to end the game. ALong the way the creature might turn into a ferocious beast, that has no brain. It might become an energetic being that has no mind or defenses. It might turn out to be a sloth-like creature that sits in a hole in the snow but with minimal (or none) survival skills, but thinks great inventions.

I changed the rules so that you can join mid-game

 

[Bluemofia]

Can I join now?

 

[RoboPig]

ofcourse you can

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Oh, me too?

 

[Souron]

in.

Can it evolve into two divergent species?

Can it evolve a symbiosis with another species?

 

[RoboPig]

Cody is in!
Souron is in and no to the first question, what does the second question mean?


OK, lets start!

Enviroment: We have been given a great habitat. Lush jungle trees roll down the low hills. A river cuts throught the center of the area giving us many fish to hunt. There is a semi-extinct volcano to the north and what seems to be an ocean a little bit west of that. Fruit and vegetables are abundant, however there will be heavy competition for them. Many creatures, some great, some small survive among us. In the summer heavy monsoons moisten and clean the ground, but in the winter the plants here shrivel up, but do not die, which can put creatures in rough spots during the winter.

Decision: What should we name this thing?
1. Our Beast
2. Civfanatasorus IIII
3. Tirindrydon
4. Fifth Horseman of the apocalypse

we are also not PMing the votes, just post them here instead

 

[puglover]

I'll join! I'll join!

Let's name our savage beast: Civfanatasorus!

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I suppose it would be blasphemy if I didn't vote Civfanatasorus

 

[The 777 Hoax]

I vote for #2 as well.

 

[Aramazd]

Could I still join, or is it too late?

 

[RoboPig]

ofcourse abgar, now vote! it is your destiny!
