@Nigel

Minor mutation: yellowish blue confuses all that look at it because its kinda an impossible color

@Evolution4Weak

@Evolution4Weak

Mutate: Heat Resistance

@Evolution4Weak

Act: Dig deep into the ground

@willow

mutation: membraned cells can now fuse and split at will, with their maximum splittage being the point they would have to eject something they’ve engulfed to split further, or become haploid. cells that create gametes are exempt from this as they need to create haploid cells to fulfil their purpose.(this would pair well with cells being able to choose to not digest something)

@willow

action: fuse all the soft tissue around the nervous system, and form a vacuole around it, but not the type lysosomes bind to, allowing hemolymph to freely enter and exit the brain, as well as allowing the brain to still send and receive information, but allowing for miniaturization of the neuron cells due to the environment being the same as their cytoplasm, and thus allowing a more complex brain within the same space. (basically we’re getting the stuff to go to small but clever wrinkle brain instead of the typical big but dumb smooth brain ants normally have. and we can eventually make our brain cells prokaryotes like some algae did with their eukaryotic chloroplasts.)

@CatSquared

@MisterMustachio

Action: Lead a hunt with other mutant ants against a much larger foe.

@fralegend015

Act: collect resources

@Centarian

@Centarian

Mutate: new type of child [Biomass, they will grow in a blob of biomass and consume anything they touch that does not give off pheromones that match the colony’s. They will make scent trails from food to their center if they find any.]

Round 5 - 6:00, April 26th, 2000

Tourist count - 1 (rolled 6, higher values are better for TO)

Round Prologue
With the Sun’s shield rising above the horizon, a foreign tourist is heading towards Reserva Natural Sierra Quirragua, unaware of a dangerous, rapidly evolving insect that is living there…

The Organism

TO’s yellow-blue armour is now covered in those colors so that they look confusing, giving TO a bit more time when something sees it (+0.5 S).

TO has evolved respectable heat resistance, by reinforcing it’s armour layer with organic and inorganic matter, also making it stronger (+1.25 S). Meanwhile, the less inside the protective armour now have the ability to fuse and split, which while not being perfectly developed, aids TO’s ability to retain homeostasis and structure (+1 MH). The tentacles that develop during the night have been enlargened and multiplied, giving TO more limbs to attack with (+1.25 S). TO has also managed to evolve a new caste, which acts a lot like slime molds, but for now it’s not very strong (+0.5 S).
Most importantly of all things that have happened since the midnight, TO has increased a lot in size, using up a large chunk of resources gathered by it’s children from the marg.ay and enemy colony by the dawn (size doubled 3 times, -2 R, @Nigel please submit a minor mutation related to size increase).

Soon after midnight, TO attempted to dig deep into the soil, however it found itself burried under debris after a few meters and returned damaged to the surface (-1 H). TO has then made a large change to it’s Brain, with the results being safety and size decrease of neurons (+2 S). After that, TO started to train for some reason, during which it caught a few insects (+1.25 R). TO then called all it’s children for a hunt, again catching a marg.ay and brining chunks of it home (+1.5 R). On the way back to the nest, TO also found many maggots which it easily ate (+2.25 R). The ant then layed a few eggs of the new type, which hatched into the “biomass” caste and managed to colect some food (+0.75 R). At dawn, TO started to fly away and found a house, biting a person in the Las Brias settlement inside the reserve. That person didn’t really notice what bit it, but TO managed to steal some food they were carrying (+1.25 R). Somebody has encountered you… HAL changed

Just as the local encountered you, one tourist entered the area and is heading towards your nest…what will you do?

(+5.5 S, +1 MH, -1 H, +7 R, Size Doubled 3 Times/Increased 8 Times)

SIZE-RELATED CHANGES (will take effect from Round 6):

• Things such as mutations/action costs, statistic gains due to mutations/actions, energy consumed per round, health loss due to roll of 1, resource gathering multiplier and resources turning into other statistics have been multiplied by 8 (so for instance, a resource-gathering action with a roll of 3 or 4 will now gather 10 R (8 R + 2 R from the former +0.25 R per R-gathering action) and cost 4 E.)
• 8 resources can now be turned into 16 energy, 24 R can be turned into 32 E, 72 R to 64 E etc., and 8 R can be turned into 8 H (here it is always 1:1).

Statistics
HEALTH - 5/16.75 → 40/134
STRENGTH - 17.5 → 140
RESOURCES - 5.25/12 (used 1 R to create 2.5 E, -5.25 R from mutations) → 42/96
ENERGY - 0.75/14 → 6/112
SIZE - ~32 cm (4 cm x 8)

HUMAN POPULATION ~ 6100000000
COUNTRY POPULATION ~ 5100000

HUMAN AWARENESS LEVEL - “A person encountered you, but they can’t really describe what it was.”

Miscellaneous
Added the size statistic, which is mostly informal of TO’s size.
I’ll remind you that there exists a system that allows you to make a vote against a player whose Mutation/Actions goes against your own Mutation/Action.

@aah31415

I think it’s about the time I introduce Action/Mutation blocking.
If a Mutation/Action is against the mutations/actions of other player(s), a vote can be made. If more than a half (as of now 4) players vote against a M/A, it has to be changed by the one who made it.

Some additional rules and stuff:
-If size of the organism increases, so will the organism statistics, aswell as their effects (so if you double your size, the organism has double in height statistics, and it consumes double energy/round passively).
-Actions such as converting resources into energy, or turning resources into health, don’t cost energy. However, if you don’t have resources nor energy, you can draw your health bar (meaning that it’ll have a lower cap) in order to regenerate energy just like resources.
