Survival in the Forum

Round 8 - Year 0, Month 8

EVENT

(Removed to not take up forum space)

Severity - 3/4 (-3 conservation status)

While many of the creatures started to appear increasingly more appealing to forum’s users, the folks who believe that those organisms should be wiped off forum once and for all have consolidated into a large “anti-creature” group, with it’s goal being eliminating all of Limagriseuses descendants, no matter their usefulness to the forum. A dark age has struck the biota…

Species

@Teaking - Multipoda TeaKinges, “The Crawler” - ID

  • Small Omnivore

Mutations: Size Increase (Small Size), Spiky Skin (+1 Strenght)

Before the great hunt began, Multipoda has became larger and developed a spiky skin for protection from Fabula. It’s now the most fearsome lifeform in the forum.

Having high statistics, Multipoda managed to retain it’s populations in multiple topics following the event, however the species overall has been still badly damaged as a whole.

  • Speed - 5
  • Stealth - 4*(2.5) = 10

@fralegend015 - Fabula Haler, “Big Guard” - NE-

  • Small Aggresive Herbivore

Mutations: Epigenetic Manipulation (+0,5 Mutations / Round), Chambered Stomach
I won’t allow more than 2.5 Mutations / Round.
Fabula has recently evolved a way of somewhat manipulating it’s evolution, increasing amount of useful mutations. It has also developed more complex digestive system, with a chambered stomach which helps this organism extract nutrient’s from forum’s vegetation.

Having lost it’s status as the top predator, Fabula has been reduced to a small population in one topic. The Group’s users found a way to take an advantage over low speed of this species, and Multipoda is more predatory than ever. It must evolve well for this kind to survive.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4
  • Stealth - 2.5*(3) = 7.5
  • Strenght - 5*(1.5) = 7.5
  • User Usefulness = 2

  • Chambered Stomach

@doomlightning - Dichorisare Chiozore, “Divider” - ID

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Bitter Taste (+1 Strenght), “Reflectors” (+1 Stealth)

Dichorisare has developed to store up a bitter substance in it’s flesh, making Multipoda discard hunting this species. It has also developed a rather unique feature - Bioluminescent spots which kind of look like hazy letters from above. This creature has also developed it’s evil face to look like Multipoda, the new apex predator of this strange land.

Dichorisare has been affected to the event, but it managed to survive in many topics.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 5
  • Stealth - 5*(3) = 15
  • Strenght - 5*(1) = 5 (Bitter)
  • User Usefulness - 0

@willow - Dichorisare Hemozore, “Photophagous Divider” - ER

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Compressible Hydrogen Bladders (+1 Walking Speed, +1 Flying Speed), Wings (+1 Flying Speed), Cute Eyes (+0.5 Stealth, +0.5 UU)

D. Hemozore was the first species to have achieved flight. Having developed hydrogen bladders, wings and more complex eyes, it was able to somewhat maneuver in the air. Fabula has been stopped from hunting and throwing every individual of this species into the void below.

After recovering into HO state after development of flight, the hunt made the species fall back to ID+ state, and after that The Group took an advantage over the slow speed of this species both in air and on ground and lack of strenght to fight off the deadly cursors. Populations of this species have dwindled under one last specimen was left.

And then a cursor came in and sliced it in half.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4/2
  • Stealth - 2.5*(3) = 7.5
  • Strenght - 3*(1) = 3 (Poisonous)
  • User Usefulness - 1.5

@TwilightWings21 - Fabula Antelectum, “Naptime” - NE-

  • Small Herbivore

Mutations: Size Increase (Small Size), Soil Removing Claws (+1 Strenght), Soil Nutrition Extraction (+1 UU), (+1 UU due to action clarity)

Like it’s cousin Fabula, F. Antelectum has evolved to become larger, around the size of a small letter. It has developed claws specialized for removing the substance of spam posts, allowing it to eat roots of the vegetation and aiding the users even more. It’s diet now includes the Soil of posts, which seems to be regenerating with nutrients when inside a post. It’s the most liked species in the forum.

Too like it’s relative, The Group took advantage of this species’ low speed, and reduced it’s population to a single topic. It’ll have to adapt well in order to survive. It’s also under a large predation pressure from Multipoda.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4
  • Stealth - 3*(2.5) = 7.5
  • Strenght - 6*(1.5) = 9
  • User Usefulness = 5

Preys On: Vegetation, Soil
Predated By: Multipoda TeaKinges

Mutation History
  • Muscular Flaps (+2 Speed due to Respiratory System)
  • Respiratory System
  • Limbs (+1 Speed)
  • Gripping Flaps (+1 Strenght)
  • Eyespots (+1 Stealth)
  • Cute Features (+1 User Usefulness)

  • Cute Hibernation (+1 UU)
  • Spam Consumption (+1 UU)
  • Extra Genetic Recombination (+0.5 MP/Round)
  • Harder Skin (+1 Strenght)
  • Size Increase (Small Size)
  • Soil Removing Claws (+1 Strenght)
  • Soil Nutrition Extraction (+1 UU)

We see that a species went extinct this round. D. Hemozore will be remembered.

Update to the Round 3 UU/Stealth Rule: Only new cute features will remove stealth, and if they’re not related to stealth organs.

Expect that F. Antelectum’s user usefulness will spark something on 9th month since the letter-eating slug’s appearance.
