Round 34 - 12:00, May 3rd, 2000
Round Summary
The full raport on old nest mutating ants was published to the public! It does say that the ants are mutating at extreme rates, exhibiting major changes even at the scale of hours. While no official actions have been taken yet, this document coming to light will surely trigger a worry in some countries soon…
The Organism Report
TO evolved a specialized “organ” which contains a smaller version of itself. Thanks to this, from evening onwards rolls of “1” on mutation votes should no longer be possible (it gives every mutation extra (1/4XSM)R cost)! After evolving this organ, TO tried constructing some water wheels to power members of the energy-producing alternator caste, but only one of them ended up working…
After the water wheel construction efforts TO developed a new caste, which would passively grow members of other castes. However, when trying to give birth to such kin, TO noticed a tumor instead (-50 H). Following the removal of the said tumor, the ant tried to widthen the tower, but instead it hurt itself with a loose rock (-50 H).
This gave TO the idea of improving it’s architecture capabilities even more, in order to make building the tower even faster. In the end this succeded (50% chance of getting a 2nd extra roll point from tower-related actions, @Nigel please submit a minor mutation related to building stuff). With this done, the ant made the fabled structure even taller, getting some gifts of applause too (+200 R).
Influence Report
The remaining scouts from the great gathering were sent to establish minor colonies across Nicaragua.

Miscellaneous
This marks the first time (I think) when TO’s base stats have been refilled to their maximal capacity! With the large resource inflow from the colonies, perhaps TO should too adapt to using more resources and energy?
