Round 41 - 6:00, May 5th, 2000

Round Summary

With the first state falling to TO, other countries already worried by the events in Nicaragua decided to hold an emergency UN meeting within the next few hours to discuss further action towards then newly-risen ant kin - which likely won’t be so positive for the ant in control of it all…

The Organism Report

TO developed primitive Organoids which can help restructure neurons and/or ganglions, however they are of rather poor quality (+50 ME). Despite the mutation not being very successful, TO still decided to do some experimentation with the new feature and managed to lay some eggs for the ganglions of it’s sensory and sensory-like abilities, which replaced the older ganglions (+100 ME).

On a different topic, TO managed to create a brand new caste dedicated purely to making the tower stabler for future height increases (+50 S, +50 MH). Soon enough a large bunch of these fellows would be sent to making the tower prepared for future works (+50-100 meters of tower stability secured per round, basing on dice).

Influence Report

TO started selling the resources in it’s stash yet again, gaining a huge sum of money from doing this, however with so much food on the market already from the previous sellout the prices have lowered (-4700 R, +18800 Money)…
TO would also finally manage to finish the task of infiltrating and taking over the Nicaraguan government, as most politicians, including the powerfulmost, have been paired with ant diplomats to such a degree that the ant is now de facto leader of Nicaragua. While no extra money or prestige has gone to TO at this point, the diplomats operating within the government are eager to make their master much more prosperious even if a command was to be ordered without a warning(control over Nicaragua, new PPT, new Influence).

RESULTS

+150 ME, +50 S, +50 MH, +50-100 Tower Stability / Round, -4700 R, +18800 Money, New Political Power Tier, New Influence

By the way, increasing tower stability limit will become harder as the tower grows taller.

Great!
We’ll just make Blame! but with flesh!
Right @Nigel?
I suggest we start with a bone weaver caste (which builds geometric bone structures), and a Flesh Weaver caste (which builds flesh off of the bone what can create new caste)
We can supply both of those with normal caste bringing food to them to help them build and maintain the structures.
After that, we can inlay caste-making caste in the bone and have normal caste feed them, to make sure that even if our character isn’t available, it won’t stop working.
This way the tower heightening and widening can be somewhat automated and we can focus more on caste types.

Btw, if you withdraw too much money from the treasury, you may cause protests to erupt in the country (amongst other reasons).

Considering the UN meeting ought to happen soon (inside the radiostrocity FG), I don’t think other countries will be willing to follow in the steps of an “overturned” one.

Mutation: Bone weaver cast which builds geometric bone structures), [Centarian can make the Flesh Weaver Caste]
Action: Have bone weaver caste cover the tower’s metal form in bone. Basically, as the tower grows there will be a thick layer of metal on the innermost layer, then bone, then flesh.

3 Likes

Mutation: Flesh weaver caste that connects geometric structures with a biomass

Action: Produce flesh weavers on the bone weavers structures, so that they might connect them and provide walkways for easier transport of materials and to catch any creatures that wander in.

Round 42 - 12:00, May 5th, 2000

Round Summary

The emergency UN meeting concludes with countries across the globe putting stronger anti-ant regulations to life. How many more countries will TO be able to take over in the directmost future?

The Organism Report

TO would manage to fix the suboptimal parts of it’s ganglion-regrowing mutation, however this didn’t pass onto the already laid eggs (+50 ME). The ant would then lay a new set of eggs for logic and math, but they happened to use the same errorous genes as the previous eggs (+25 MH, +25 ME).
After this rather disappointing experience with the ganglion-making eggs, TO would go on and create two tower-centric castes: one for creating bone-like tissue and the other for making flesh-like tissue (+125 MH, +100 S, @Nigel please submit a minor mutation related to the bone caste). Some members of the bone-weaving caste were created and immediately ordered to coat the metal structure making up the core of the tower with bone (+25 meters to tower stability limit every round). Meanwhile members of the flesh-weaving caste would start creating fleshy structures with many purposes - helping the friendly and killing the hostile (+25 MH, +25 S).

Influence Report

Whilst the international situation would surely not advocate for it, some news companies in Costa Rica and Honduras have been infiltrated by diplomats that had lots of money given by the Nicaraguan Treasury, with the ones sent to Costa Rica also finding the local ant colony here and using it to exert control on the scale of the whole country (Honduras → Regional Influence, Costa Rica → Country-Scale Influence). During these infiltrations, the government of Nicaragua would try to convince other countries to lift their regulations, but that doesn’t seem to be a very convincing message, especially as it has been sent from a country thought to have been overtaken by ademocratic ants.
