It seems like at the present we have some specializations in our FG:
Willow - Evolution stuff (currently neuron upgrades)
Cat^2 - Influence stuff (strenghtening The Nest’s grasp)
Nigel and Centarian - Mostly Tower Stuff
- Try again to sell resources we can’t store
- Try to use the news to take more government control in Nicaragua
- Try to use the news to take more government control in Nicaragua (as a separate action)
Do you want to turn Nicaragua into an “ant republic” yet? Because if both these actions succeed (or one of them scores 6), TO will be in the position to do that.
M: and organoid that stores the ‘genome’ of all the neural networks in any light-brain cells in the same ganglion as it, as well as how the cells connected, in DNA, so any dead or damaged light-brain cells can be replaced without having to take time to train a replacement
transplantation of cells from this organoid into a new ganglion will turn it into a copy of the ganglion they were a part of, with modifications made to preserve any memories or knowledge within the modified ganglion
A: lay 2 eggs for every ganglion we have, and have all of them replace the ganglion they’re for with a ganglion made of light-brain cells, then test all of their abilities related to their light ganglion once they 're able to use it
(sensory(apparently 6 fused together, with a pair for the eyes, a pair for the antennae, and a pair for the mouth), internet, language, T1-T3, A1-A8 )
should we make TO have a successor or pull a ship of theseus with TO’s brain?
That’s for the players of the FG to decide.
that’s why i was asking?
I’ll make a poll for this
- Yes
- No
ONLY THE PLAYERS OF THIS FG MAY VOTE HERE
Why is it written as a yes/no, as it’s a two choices question?
It’s in general just “do you want to switch the controlled organism at some point in the future”, willow would probably find a way for you 4 to have TO transfer it’s mind into a successor of it’s even if it wasn’t meant to become TO’s vessel at first.
we’re able to mutate into literally anything we want. i feel like itd be hard to find a vessel that can top this one.
True. Through if the colonies end up working together more in the times to come, perhaps they’d construct a vessel way superior than TO’s body one day when the ant empire has grown significantly…
the only vessel that could possibly be superior would be the Tower
Maybe when the antforce has grown larger, you’ll have a bunch of ants turn the tower into some sort of an orbital body for TO to inhabit and command it’s children all across the planet?
what about a collossatron, that can plant itself in the ground?
and we could also eat our old body to get its powers back after we switch to the new organism, if we don’t keep them through the switch
and we could also also make an Ant Gundam that has tubes that move a fluid made of the ET so it all evolves in sync, as well as use our gene stealing claws to make HGT ports
And we could also turn the tower into a weapon of mass destruction and colonization if we make it able to survive reentry and hitting the ground at terminal velocity, and make our ant gundam strong enough
and a Major upgrade to our current form would be replacing TO’s nervous system with one that uses light, but we’d either have to pull a ship of theseus but dialed up to 11, make a successor, or have it be Vastly unoptimized
Funny that despite being so smart TO still doesn’t see the branches falling on it before it’s too late…
yeah, we should probably evolve better falling object detection at some point
By the way, once Nicaragua falls under ant control, far more countries will start imposing anti-ant restrictions (obviously)
Edit: @Centarian I need your votes.
Mutation: Tower builder caste who’s only goal is to increase the tower’s volume, using our resources (of the metallic variety) to increase the height and circumference of the tower.
Action: Produce Tower Builders
Would you want me to always count your votes as boosting nigel’s unless stated otherwise?
Yes.
Nigel has better luck than I do.
