Rotifera

Lore

The troodon race did not end it’s seed world shenanigans with the shrimp. A few hundred years after that, they put some rotifers on a gas giant mooned named Deus-12cb, moon of Deus-12c, which was in the habitable zone. It was around the size of Titan of our own solar system, but could support terran life. Many other organisms, like algae, bacteria, and amoebas were put there to feed the rotifers. Soon, the rotifers became far more…

Starting organism

Trichostoma ancestria is a bdelloid rotifer that is not too special. It looks something like this:

It mainly feeds on what it can. Since it can eat anything other than members of it’s own species, it has a big food plate. This will leave a lot of room for mutation.

Rules

Every round, you will make a major and minor mutation. For example
MM: Become bigger.
mm: Become slightly more aggresive.
MM standse for major mutation, and mm stands for minor mutation. The major mutation will be signifiacant, while the minor mutation will be less so.

Rotifers > water bears!

So it the shrimp seedworld project dead now or what?

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

No, I’ll be continuing it. Thanks for reminding me!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That project is in “other creativity” and this one is a FG. I guess this will be more player-dependent then?

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

Yeah, this is very player dependent. What can go wrong?
(Realizes underwater civs will get me burnt to a crisp at the stake)

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Eh, not sure we will even reach that point in a rotifer’s evolution.

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

Well, someone’s gonna advance rotifers to sentience… We need to just have a lot of rounds. And with intelligence… comes the possibility of someone making underwater civs…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Are there any lands on this moon?

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

Yes, because of course there are. So I’m not forcing you to make underwater civs! Can’t burn me at the stake now, community elders!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

These are regular earthlike continents and not just some wetlands, right?

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

Yeah, earthlike continents. Also, what is your species? I will make an actual phylogenetic tree using newick files this time, so that I can track AI better.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

You still need 2 more players to start this FG per your standards…

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

Yeah, but I never said I’ll start the phylogenetic tree now.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Hm, so we’ll then choose which lineages do we want to take control of?

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

You make a lineage at the start of the game, or if you join after that, branch off another species.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I see. I can imagine it will take a while for sapients to develop…

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

Yeah, and we need some players to get there… So, what is your organism?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

A somewhat larger rotifer that can feed on the eggs of other rotifers at times

[JustaDumbThriver (I clicked on a cookie, but no more cookies are being summoned, is this a reality glitch?)]

That actually can happen in an instant when a single species is put on a planet! Some mutated individuals become larger, and can eat the eggs of their fellow species.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So then I’m free to submit an another mutation?
