Mutation: The development of ganglia composed of “Evolving Neurons” which are derived from a modified form of evolving tissue, these ganglia costantly shift in their neurochemical architecture allowing TO to have changes in its method of reasoning, allowing it to better find solutions to problems.
Action: Study how the universe works.
Mutation: More Size
Action: Create reusable traps for catching prey and people(??) And try to automate said traps
I wonder if other players will agree to size upgrade now…
we can 100% support more size. will also aid with other actions.
no reason not to
Attack of the 20 ft. tall catgirl-ant
Let’s not forget about the entire ant army
Mutation: Production of a chemical that is able to somwhat confuse attackers for a few seconds, allowing for time to escape.
Action: Practice luring skills by tricking some mice
Minor Mutation: Our armor exoskeleton becomes harder
first, is the 2 meters how tall we are, or how long the distance from top of the head to end of the tail is? if it’s how tall we are, i’m not sure we should be 7.5 feet tall until we’re able to defend the huge target that would make us
a few unrelated questions; is our stinger at the end of our tail, or somewhere else, are our tentacles still tentacles or are they arms, what colors do we see in, and what do our eyes look like? if we’re gonna infiltrate human society to gather information, we’re gonna need to look human, or at least like an anime character. most humans are scared of humanoid insects, especially ones that are visibly insectoid as well as humanoid
Why would they not be tentacles anymore?
Just increase stealth and perception, or create a stealth caste and make them gather information. We will not lie about what we are.
should the stealth caste be false spiders that connect their brains to an internet we make to prevent our death as long as we remain on earth, a caste that looks like a human throughout most of its lifecycle and deposits its information into our databases, something different, or multiple of those?
well, if our endoskeleton is in them they wouldn’t be nearly as flexible as they were, making them closer to vertebrate limbs than cephalopod limbs, so i asked because of that.
I think that they should be false spiders, but first we need to evolve ways to utilize radio waves for xommunixation so that we can recieve information and send orders remotely.
@aah31415 How intelligent will TO be if my mutation succeeds?
Minor mutation: Shifting weight (It can shift its weight drastically without moving, possibly to pin or kill prey)
Mutation: Poison Stinger
Action: Hunt and Consume
Considering that TO was already able to make words when it encountered the rescuers, I guess that with the ENs it will reach level of a teenager/young adult.

Round 13 - 6:00, April 28th, 2000
Round Prologue
As another sunrise occurs, the informed insect-experts are slowly preparing for their trip into the reserva, whilist TO is in another location…
The Organism
TO’s exoskeleton is now harder than before, offering more protection (+50 MH). The ant-humanoid is now also capable of shifting weight in it’s body, which might be helpful in certain situations (+25 MH, +25 S).
TO’s vocal cords have experienced large-scale cell die-off, causing some damage to TO (-25 H). On a brighter note, mutation commanding has been successfully developed, allowing the giant ant to command it’s children to develop specific features (+32 MH, +32 S). TO’s camouflage has also been improved, now being a lot better at deceiving humans that no danger is present (+50 MH). TO also developed a new caste - scout ants, which are capable of quickly transmitting data from a large distance (+25 MH, +25 S, @MisterMustachio please submit a minor mutation related to scout ants). The Brain has also got a new development, that being the evolution of “Evolving Neurons” which are capable of shifting connections and behaviours, making TO’s brain more adaptable to changes (+25 MH, +25 ME). TO’s poison stinger too got upgraded, making it a lot more useful in combat (+50 S). TO also developed a weak chemical which can confuse enemies (+25 S). Most importantly, TO has became larger yet again, now roughly 4 meters long (-100 R, size up to ~4 meters).
TO has began using the dug-up soil as the building blocks for upward expansion of the new hive, bulding termite-like mounds but many times larger. This has created a perching place for various birds which TO has consumed (+75 R). After the expansion was complete, TO tried talking to the zombie, but it understood what TO was saying as an insult and procedeed to throw a rock at TO, causing it some harm (-25 H). TO then cut down many shrubs and leaves to cover up the nest, catching many animals which happened to call those shrubs home (+113 R). TO then rested and regenerated it’s wounds (50 R → 125 H). With it’s new ENs, TO tried to understand something of great importance, but it changed it’s neural networks so much that it got damaged a bit in the process (-25 H)! TO then hunted many animals through the forest and the fields where livestock animals resided (+63 R). Remembering it’s traps from the first nest, the great ant tried to recreate them here but it almost got burried alive instead (-25 H)! After escaping the collapsed trap-pit TO practiced it’s luring skills by tricking mice, they weren’t so great but a few mice got eaten in the end (+38 R).
(+207 MH, +157 S, +50 H, +25 ME, +139 R, Size Doubled)
SIZE-RELATED CHANGES (will take effect from Round 14):

STRENGTH - 2108 → 4216
RESOURCES - 657/768 (-200 R from mutations, used 50 R to regenerate 150 E) → 1314/1536
ENERGY - 121/1025 → 242/2050
Informal:
SIZE - ~4M (4 cm x 100)
KILLS - 1 PERSON
HUMAN POPULATION ~ 6099999999
COUNTRY POPULATION ~ 5100000
HUMAN AWARENESS LEVEL - “Four Rescuers saw you and have reported your existance to the local authorities in Matiguas… Many volunteers reported the existance of strange ants in your former residing site… Researchers are on the way to investigate the ants…”

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.
Are the tentacles located in the point of conjuction of the humanoid and non-humanoid body?
They are steming both from the insect-like body and human-like body.
Mutation: The neurons become capable of forming a greater amount of synapses, making TO smarter.
Behaviour: Help the zombie regain their humanity.
mutation: an organ for making capsids full of genes TO tells them to make through a ganglion around the organ that interprets TO’s thoughts.
Action: attempt to repair our vocal chords with what’s already there to make our voice more high pitched
Mutation: Flawless camouflage, (can change color and shape of shell for ambushes)
Action: Have children make a deep tunnel network that spans as far as possible where other mounds will be placed in the future and place the Stationary Trap Children along it (They will release a pheromone letting others of their species know that they are there and avoid them.
Mutation: More intellect
Action: Deeper and more spread out tunnel network
@aah31415 we need a tunnel size stat
If TO cannot fit thru it, it can simply make it larger. It has the gifted talent of tunnel-making anyway.
