well, you still have an action to submit
A: gather other ants to bring the grey substance back to the hive
Mutation: Enhanced pheromones to better lead the other ants.
Action: Gather the grey substance into the hive.
mutation: none
action: sabotage the hive via flooding it
Mutation: Capability of breathing underwater
Act: Gather resources
You have to submit a mutation
Also, how are you going to flood the nest?
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 5) players vote against a M/A, it has to be changed by the one who made it.
mutation: secreting oleic acid
action: f l o o d t h e n e s t.
@Evolution4Weak @MedicGaming @Centarian
Please cast your actions and mutations
(Also, if there isn’t a resource unit avaible for a mutation, it will instead draw HP)
Can I skip this round, I want to wait a bit before voting…
I’m afraid that you’ll have to submit A/M.
Mutation: More pheromones to better guide ants
Action: Carry grey stuff into den so they can mutate too.
Mutate: Radiation Resistance
Action: Explore
MedicGaming hasn’t visited the forum for 20 days now, so I think we have a decision to make:
- Release Round 1 without MedicGaming’s votes
- Wait for MedicGaming to post their’s votes (if doesn’t return, another vote will take place in 10 days)
ONLY PLAYERS OF THIS FORUM GAME MAY VOTE HERE

Round 1 - 6:00, April 25th, 2000
Round Prologue
When the sun rises above the horizon, in wilderness of Republic of Nicaragua a bullet ant is rapidly changing and making actions, for the better or for the worse.
The Organism
Cells of the shocked worker bullet ant seem to have adapted themselves so that they are more resiliant to radiation sickness (+1 Max. Health/MH). It’s mandibles have also developed in a strange way - when they close on something, the thing they’re holding get’s electrocuted thanks to a mutation of mitochondria (+1.25 Strength)… Besides that, The Organism is now producing venom that can be used to kill small animals (+1.25 Strength). It’s pheromonic communication has been improved greatly, with pheromones being able to provide more information than ever, allowing for better communication between The Organism and the ants from it’s hive (+1 Strength, +1 Max. Resources/MR). There’s one other notable thing the Organism developed within 6 hours of developing the evolving tissue - it’s now secretic oleic acid, meaning that other nest ants think that it’s… dead. Covering the exoskeleton of The Organism, it provides some extra protection (+1.25 MH)
However, it seems like that one adaptation has failed - The Organism’s Tracheae have been damaged by some cells, and hurt The Organism as a whole (-1 Health).
At dawn, TO tried to explore the surrounding area, finding a few half-eaten beetle corpses nearby (+1 Resources). After that, it has informed other of it’s nest about the existance of a radioactive grey substance nearby and immediately started to carry it to it’s home. On the way to it, it hurt it’s leg (-1 Health), however it managed to get the object in one chunk into one of the nest’s chambers. After that was done, it started to secrete oleic acid at extreme rate, flooding the said chamber and drowning multiple ants within. With them being irradiated and no other ant being present at the place of this crime, TO started to feast on the corpses of it’s fallen bretherin (+4.5 Resources). With no-one seeing the massacre, The Organism hasn’t been exiled from the nest.

Miscellaneous
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 2 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.
-You can regenerate more than just 2 energy in one resource/health-to-energy action. However, the more energy you want to regenerate, the increasingly assymetrical will be the requirement (2 energy require 1 resource, 4 require 3, 6 require 9, 8 require 27 and so on). If you increase your size, this will however be shifted (if it doubles, 4 energy will then require 2 units, 8 require 6, etc.)
@MedicGaming I hope you’ll be able to cast votes next round…
Mutation: TO turns into a queen
Act: Spread the oleic acid all over the hive in order to conquer it, and the other ants will be unable to do anything about it not only because from their prespective there is no real threat but only a single corpse, but anything that gets close gets coated in oleic acid too so they would end up believing themselves dead.
Mutation: Improve the efficiency of turning resources into energy.
Action: Rest and heal.
belgium we rolled low
Mutate: More Radiation Resistance
Action: Explore Again
Edit: How long is a round? Like how much time passes
Between rounds, 6 hours pass.
mutation: addition of glands that release a fluid containing cells from {Evolving Tissue} to convert other organisms to do The Organism’s bidding
action: go around biting the abdomens of other ants in the colony and leaving them to transform into Radiostrocities
@CatSquared , @Centarian , @Nigel please submit your votes.
mutation: more oleic acid production! graah!!!
Action: the opposite of willows because im feeling extra something today
