Round 12 - Year 1, Month 0
EVENT
(10d dice rolled a 5)
(1-4=(1), 5-7=(2), 8-9=(3), 10=(4))
Severity = 2 (-2 Conservation Status)
One of FPG’s members has been developing a AI for last few months, which was trained to target creatures of the forum more effectively than any human. This AI has been finally released on the 1st anniversary of the organisms’ appearance. Meanwhile, BCA has collapsed due to the loss of Naptimers and because of a new genus rising. Dark times have fallen on extant species…
Species
@Teaking - Multipoda TeaKinges, “The Crawler” - UC
- Small Omnivore
Mutations: More Speed (+1 Speed), Harder Skin (+1 Strenght)
M. TeaKinges has yet again made improvements to it’s speed, and it’s skin is now even harder, being the important protection from it’s prey items struggling for life.
The species has managed to survive the AI cursors in a good shape!

@fralegend015 - Cogito Arstractatori, “Magician” - ER
- Small Aggresive Herbivore
Mutations: UI generation (+1 Stealth), Cybernetic sensory (+1 Stealth), Cursor Control (+1 Strenght, -1 UU)
Fabula Cogito has given rise to the new Cogito genus. It has expanded into region previously not interacted with by other forum critters: Cyberspace. The species can manipulate the strange nature of forum environment and use it to generate simple UI elements. It can use the code to sense other creatures, and - most insanely - by manipulating the “CyberField”, it can temporarily take control of user’s cursors and use them as a brief advantage against other creatures. Which all those features improve the ability of species to survive, it’s control abilities make users view this new genus as a danger.
The success of this new genus is short-lived however, as the extreme pressure from both other creatures and the AI takes out all remaining members of the Magicians. As soon as they appeared, they have vanished.

@doomlightning - Dichorisare Chiozore, “Divider” - NE
- Small Herbivore
Mutations: Closed Circulatory System, K-type Reproduction
Dichorisare evolved a better, closed circulatory system, aswell as the tendency to produce few-but-developed children when reproducing.
AI cursors managed to take advantage over this species’ low speed mid-massacre, causing it’s populations to drop sharply. Will it survive?

@willow - Dichorisare Hemozore, “Photophagous Divider” - ER
- Tiny Herbivore
Mutations: Spam post consumption (+1 UU), Population Control, Better Regeneration (+1 Strenght)
D. Hemozore has evolved to eat spam post letters, and has developed yet another way of evading extinction - this time, by releasing a set amount of spores basing on it’s population. It now also has strorages of Stem Cells, which it can release when an injury occurs.
Despite it’s great adaptations, the species didn’t manage to survive the pressure from Cogito, and the AI cursors which have destroyed every single piece of this species left on the forum.

@Cha - Multipoda Yuyimus, “Centipede” - NE
- Small Carnivore
Mutations: Heart, Stronger Jaw Muscles (+1 Strenght)
M. Yuyimus has evolved a heart, being a great improvement to it’s circulatory system. It has also now got enchanced jaw muscles, making it’s bites stronger.
Much like D. Chiozore, this species has had a special strategy made against it due to it’s low speeds. It must adapt quickly to become after, or else it might become extinct soon…

@CatSquared - Multipoda Cat-Bestiae, “Cat Beasts” - UC
- Tiny Omnivore
Mutations: Faster Leg Muscles (+1 Speed), Streamline Shape (+1 Speed)
M. Cat-Bestiae now is a lot faster - with better leg muscles and a more streamline body, it can move very quickly for it’s size.
The Cat Beasts did fairly well against AI cursors, managing to survive them.

@ThatGuyJim - Multipoda Narrenists, “Darren” - ID
- Small Omnivore
Mutations: Horn (+1 Strenght), Spam-eating behaviour (+1 UU)
M. Narrenists is a new M. TeaKinges Spliter species. It has evolved a horn on it’s head which it can use to pierce thru prey, and a behaviour to eat spam posts when it detects them.
Like many other species, this one aswell did well against the AI slaughter. However, M. TeaKinges is a threat to this species due to it’s higher speeds.

@Bontopia13 - Dichorisare Bontopius, “The Swarm” - NE
- Small Herbivore
Mutations: Swarm Intelligence (+0.5 to strenght multiplier), Hiding Eggs
D. Bontopius is a shoot-off species of D. Chiozore. It has evolved to become swarm-like, raiding areas for food together and defending each other. It also hides it’s eggs underground to make them safer from present predators.
Like it’s relative, this species is currently in danger of extinction due to low speeds.

Another update to User Usefulness: If a trait takes away User’s ability to move freely in the Forum (or does other “bad” stuff), it will take away UU.
Don’t be afraid of the Extinctions. There already were Evo Forum Games where a species went extinct nearly every round. You can split off from other lineage next round.
