Round 23 - 18:00, April 30th, 2000
Round Prologue
The Organism
TO evolved neurons which make it capable to bake sweets like doughnuts, albeit at the moment it doesn’t really have means to bake this kind of food (+50 ME).
TO also evolved tastebuds to better taste these doughnuts (+50 ME, +50 MH, @Evolution4Weak please submit a minor mutation related to taste sense). The neurons, both regular and evolving, are now capable of being powered by a cell in which they reside (+100 ME). The Scout caste can now reproduce, but it’s not enough to create new colonies (+25 MH, +25 S). Tumors had to be removed (-50 H). The exoskeleton can now change it’s color to a degree (+25 MH, +25 S). The ant is even smarter now (+100 ME).
TO again tried to dig underground, and again it failed (-50 H). The ant would then turn it’s resources into energy (100 R → 300 E). After that scouts were sent to Matiguas, where they established a strong outpost, albeit with their hindered reproductive abilities they cannot form a proper colony. They established this outpost in a place which doesn’t directly hurt humans, and have collected some food for TO (+150 R). Thru these scouts the ant tried to communicate with the local government, however nothing came out of it. Some people however were willing to give scraps to the scout ants (+75 R). After that TO build many traps around the tower, including deadly webs, in which soon enough many birds were caught (+125 R). Resource inflow has been increased thanks to the children of TO not having to worry about being seen by humans anymore (R per round increased to 1.25 X Size multiplier).
HUMAN INTERACTION
(Rolled 3/6, a team of 24 People)
With the scout outpost in Matiguas, more people are willing to come to the ant’s nest, especially as national researchers are rumoured to arrive very soon. These people spoke to TO, the zombie and the diplomats (this time not being frightened by them so much) like the previous team. They left some food (+125 R), however some of them also came with cages and took a few smaller ants with them (-25 S). TO didn’t see that at first and only noticed the loss of a few smaller ants after these people already left. It looks like soon more serious people will come to this hive…
(+300 ME, +100 MH, +25 S, +50 H, +500 R, +300 E)
SIZE-RELATED CHANGES (will take effect from Round 14):
- 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
50100 (so for instance, a resource-gathering action with a roll of 3 or 4 will now gather63125 R (50100 R +1325 R from the former +0.25 R per R-gathering action) and cost2550 E.)

Miscellaneous
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.
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.
Considering the development of this FG towards a mutant ant-controlled underground state slowly taking over humanity, I was wondering if this FG should stay in this form or change into being more focused on this growing aspect which will likely end up taking most if not all of your actions.
- The FG should stay in the form in which it is now.
- The FG should change to better suit the growing strategy aspect.
If people vote for this FG changing it’s style then it doesn’t have to happen right at the next round.
ONLY PLAYERS OF THIS FORUM GAME MAY VOTE IN THE POOL.
