Round 3 - 18:00, April 25th, 2000
Round Prologue
While the Sun starts setting below the horizon, in Reserva Natural Sierra Quirragua events related with a mutated ant colony don’t stop and a few tourists are planning to go there on dawn of the next day (will arrive at: [ROUND 5], at which point you’ll be able to do things directly about them).
The Organism
TO’s toxins have became more potent at the evening of this day, and the mandibles have gotten yet another upgradement, now being able to inject digestive fluids into whatever TO bites (+1 S).
Our beloved ant’s cells have increased their radiation resistance even more than before (+1 MH). It’s egg cells now can steal stuff from other eukariotic cells and new ants are born with evolving tissue embedded into them (+1 ME). TO has reactivated ant genes responsible for developing a wing, and modified it to be more efficient and effective (+2 ME). It’s Antennae have became far better at sensing vibrations (+1 MR, @MisterMustachio minor mutation related to Antennae pending) and some small tentacles have emerged from the sides of it’s body (+0.5 S). It’s behaviour has also seen notable changes - TO will be very peaceful when dealing with it’s children, but if it senses an enemy, it becomes extremely aggresive and unpredictable (+1 S)
TO has been testing it’s weaponry by killing (and eating) flies near the nest (+0.5 R), it has also brought a large leaf into the nest, eating some more insects from it (+1 R). Good news have been brought to TO from the frontlines - the rival bullet ant sent has been defeated by army of mutated ants, and lots of nutrients are being transported home (+1.25 R)!
After the victory, TO sensed a relatively large animal - a Marbelgium! It has gathered many child ants and went on to kill the mammal. TO started to fly towards the unsuspecting vertebrate and then, it bit it on it’s neck from behind as the marbelgium sensed something flying towards it. The cat started to thrash around in pain and electrocutions, trying to get this never-seen-before-by-itself insect off of itself, whilist TO has already injected it with critical amounts of venom and digestive fluid. Marbelgium started to get the upper edge for a short while by nearly breaking TO’s grip on itself, but just then the mutated children started to flow from all directions towards it. Being unable to tolerate the amount of pain and venom, Mabelgium has passed away and quickly died afterwards. For the antlings, a large amount of fresh flesh has just been acquired, allowing them to reproduce and expand even more in their local area, asserting a large domination over it (+1.25 R)! The newly acquired resources allowed TO to lay dozens of new mutated eggs (+1 S). Afterwards, TO took more chunks out of marbelgium’s corpse (+0.5 R), and proceeded to flood the nest with more oleic acid, trapping the weaker ants under a dense fluid, after whose fall TO cannibalized those children of it’s own (+1 R).
(+3.5 S, +1 MH, +3 ME, +1 MR, +5.5 R)

Miscellaneous
The “red dot” now also includes the area occupied by ant children of TO. If TO leaves this area, it will show up in a different color.
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.)
Since they haven’t responded for a month now, I no longer consider MedicGaming as a player of this FG.

Round 4 - 0:00, April 26th, 2000
Round Prologue
As the night passes and the day of 26th of April begins, yet more interesting things are occuring to our ever-mutating ant friend. They are evolving rapidly and gathering resources of various kinds, as if preparing for something…
The Organism
TO has improved it’s quality of communicating using the sense of sound, making coordination between itself and it’s children better (+0.5 S)
The ant has been digging through the ground in search for the heavy metal of lead, that it ate when it found it. Lead has been distributed across it’s body, giving ever more radiation resistance (+1 MH). Meanwhile, all the cells of TO have became a lot more independent from each other, being able to move to other places inside TO, which has large benefits for it (+1 MH). TO has laso somewhat improved the number of it’s neurons, but some of them got damaged during the upgradement (+0.5 S, -1 H). TO has also evolved a thicker armor layer on it’s outer side, which is now yellowish-blue in color (+1.5 MH, @Nigel please submit a minor mutation related to what was your mutation vote). Finally, TO’s intestines are now far better at absorbing eaten food (+0.25 R to all actions that collect R)
During the night, TO has been protecting it’s eggs, managing to catch a few intruders that came too close to them (+1.25 R). TO layed those eggs on a leaf and lifted and prepared to lift them to the surface, however the preparations have destroyed a few eggs which TO has now eaten (+0.75 R). As TO went outside, it was attacked by a wasp, which has stung it and flew away (- 1 H). After being stung, TO has returned to it’s nest lair and rested there, healing a lot (+2 H, -1 R). TO then took revenge on the wasp that stung it, hunting it down and eating the large insect (+2.75 R). Just then, in an unexpected turn of events, TO ate many of the eggs it has just layed (+1.25 R).
(+3.5 MH, +0.5 S, +0.25 R to all actions that collect R, +5 R)

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 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.)
By the way, new people can join this forum game!
Edit: fixed energy

mutation: membraned cells can now fuse and split at will, with their maximum splittage being the point they would have to eject something they’ve engulfed to split further, or become haploid. cells that create gametes are exempt from this as they need to create haploid cells to fulfil their purpose.(this would pair well with cells being able to choose to not digest something)
action: fuse all the soft tissue around the nervous system, and form a vacuole around it, but not the type lysosomes bind to, allowing hemolymph to freely enter and exit the brain, as well as allowing the brain to still send and receive information, but allowing for miniaturization of the neuron cells due to the environment being the same as their cytoplasm, and thus allowing a more complex brain within the same space. (basically we’re getting the stuff to go to small but clever wrinkle brain instead of the typical big but dumb smooth brain ants normally have. and we can eventually make our brain cells prokaryotes like some algae did with their eukaryotic chloroplasts.)
i almost forgot to mention, but this also opens a really good way to get brain disease immunity.

Hey what if we become some sort of biomass that spreads along surfaces and consumes what lands on it?
