[OOC] Origin of Species

[Antarctic Termite]

I like the guild's new look (◉‿◉✿)

Soulserenity20 said Bah, termite are you okay with low activity from me? I've had a lot going on lately with life and my other RP's but I know id like to get back into this when I can. May I keep my character in the loop?

Is fine.

[UnendingEmpire]

I want my blue box back

[marcopolonian]

I'll post as soon as I can, so tomorrow morning (it's 1 in the morning here, so that won't be too long). Sorry for my temporary lack of activity.

[Antarctic Termite]

My posts aren't very concise, are they? q:

Not really a problem. [:

[Leotamer]

How long should I wait to fully take over the Forgotten?

[Obscurus]

yay evolution!

Either you are being sarcastic or I'm missing something.

I think in the first OOC post, termite said something about two to three posts/rounds.

[marcopolonian]

Ugh. I hate to be saying this, but I won't be posting for another day. Sorry...

If my latest post seems to be too much, keep in mind that there are two groups of colonies that are within the Matrices sphere, but that he has not influenced their growth at all. This is entirely natural speciation/natural selection. If it seems too much to describe both groups gaining those specialties, then I will take out one and describe such next post.

I wasn't sure, so I'll leave it as is for the moment.

Something that I don't know how to clarify IC was that the original change from eating other cells to photosynthesis left a few of the original, heterotrophic cells behind as a separate species. My own explanation is that my entity hasn't noticed yet, but bringing it up now wouldn't be very graceful, given the time that has passed...

[Antarctic Termite]

Note: For the players who have all of their current Sphere invested into a single species (Marco and Obscurus so far, I think), 25% is a substantial amount, so you can move that species forwards at a pretty good speed now. You're in a good position to start work on another species now, or divide your current one, while still maintaining momentum.

Turn ends when players first start colonising land.

[Obscurus]

so you're telling me I can make more changes this turn?! :D

[Leotamer]

Kyelin, some clarification, the Forgotten rogue species I got from you is now targeting the fire feeders. not the disks. The idea of taking the Forgotten was so that I could target the fire feeders when other wise, I couldn't reach them

[Kyelin]

Yeah, they are a rogue species that began to attack the Fire Feeders. Other species are also targeting the Disk Clumps, like the big mouthed one and the Matrices species. Plus some naturally evolving ones, I guess.

[Antarctic Termite]

Ok, well, there's a post (might touch it up a bit tomorrow). I probably should've moved earlier as per the don't-wait rule, but meh, birthdays and stuff.

[yoshua171]

Speciation and differentiation via natural selection are fun~

[marcopolonian]

Sorry if I seemed inactive, I was just waiting for other players (and didn't notice the don't-wait rule). I'll most likely post today.

Congratulations on sexual reproduction. I've been waiting for an opportunity to turn my spores into a coral-esque egg/sperm system, but that'll have to wait for a bit longer, it seems. I need to get a sponge system of tubes internally lined with pumping flagella soon, I think. Or I could invent sex first. Hm.

All good.

[yoshua171]

Thanks Termite ^_^

I thought it would be an incredible advantage. Afterall, I can begin modifying the genetics to increase healing factor through asexual reproduction, allowing tiny internal mutations, while using sexual reproduction to cause the larger natural selection and such to diverge species and such.

:3

Is anyone still part of this? :/
