Survival in the Forum

Round 19 - Year 1, Month 7

The conflict between the “internet wizards” and the rest of the forum worsens, with the former warning that they’ll do a “cyber-ritual” to kill the creatures next month. At the same time, CPO has opened β-FP (β Forum Park), which mimics the characteristics of earthly jungles and rainforests, with juicy letters being everywhere.

Meanwhile, the creatures have been evolving lately at a suspiciously high rate…

Species

NPC - Multipoda TeaKinges, “The Crawler” - HO

  • Medium Omnivore

Mutations: Pinhole Eyes (+1 Stealth), Air Sacks (+1 B Speed), Echolocation (+1 Stealth)

M. TeaKinges’s eye-spots have now turned into holes of photoreceptive tissue, making the species see better than ever before. To aid in underground sensing, the crawlers have developed a specialized structure inside their bodies, which is used to echolocate. To supply the entire organism with more oxygen, bird-like air sacks have been developed.

@Cha - Multipoda Yuyimus, “Centipede” - OP

  • Small Carnivore

Mutations: Reinforced Skeleton (+1 Strenght), Plating (+1 Strenght), Centuarism (+1 Speed)

M. Yuyimus’s body support system has been reinforced through evolution and so stronger muscles are attatched to it now. On the surface of the centipedes, armor plating now exists which is a new layer of defense against rivals and predators. But perhaps the most importantly, some of the front limbs of this critter have been “centaurised”, with running being an easier and more energy-conserving task now.

NPC - Multipoda Narrenists, “Darren” - OP

  • Small Omnivore

Mutations: Tusks (+1 Strenght), Stronger Skeleton (+1 Strenght), Wrinkly Lungs (+1 B Speed)

M. Narrenists has evolved tusks from some of it’s teeth, which are used to impale prey or predator. It’s very basic lungs now have wrinkles, greatly increasing their surface area. Meanwhile, the skeletal system of this organism has too evolved to better support all the structures it carries around.

F. Similisarstractatori, when dead, can now utilize the “cyberspace” to new levels, being able to merge together and having better means with dealing with the cyberspace, which also help the 2.0 magicians when they’re still alive, by having the dead ones try to communicate with the alive ones through various object manipulations.

M1: larvae can now steal beneficial genes and endosymbionts from things they are possessing, including eachother.(for bumping up my m/r stat up by 0.5)
M2: steal the chloroplasts from the letters and make them most concentrated in the wings of the propagator caste and leaf structures made by the larvae so they’re not completely parasitic to their hosts

Name: Magus spiritusvivi

Nickname: Archmage

Mutation 1: Pneuma - Magus spirits become capable of injecting a pseudo-soul inside other organisms, this pseudo-soul will utilize a part of the host’s energy to grow over time, once the host dies the pseudo-soul is freed and the Magus spirit will merge with it.

Mutation 2: Genesis - If a Magus spirit senses a low amount of living Magus spiritusvivi then they will start harvesting letters and using them to generate geneticaly diverse individuals of Magus spiritusvivi to prevent extinction.

Mutation 3: Suggestion - Magus becomes capable of influencing the behaviour of other organisms, this is used mainly by Magus spirits in order to prevent species from going extinct by regulating predation and how likely the prey is to be skittish or careless.

the parasitic species is the one i’m controlling, and i already did something so it won’t be parasitic because it’ll be giving something in return for what it takes

How exactly (cause this parasitism doesn’t seem to give much for being parasitic to their host like other species of parasites that exist)

photosynthesis

I do not think photosynthesis can offer a equal return for the host either way

Mutation uno: restrainting limbs using the freed up legs

Mutation dos: paralytic venom (often meant to incapiate the prey which they’ll leave and stalk until it takes affect and start munching the prey alive not killing it for as long as possible)

M: complex communication by clicks

currently my species is small and it’s only the larvae that will parasitize anything, so with their ability to change their body shape they can probably just make most of their bodies be spikes that are growing to go through the skin and turn into leaves, or already leaves. that does mean that a species could evolve specifically to house mine and their young in return for getting plenty of energy from the sun, but it also means that there are species’ who will be burdened more than they benefit from my species’ young inhabiting them.

@aah31415 i’d like to change my second mutation to being spicy in the mint, pepper, and garlic ways all at once.

my larvae make their hosts spicy and increase their pain tolerance in return for shelter

Round 20 - Year 1, Month 8

EVENT

(Removed to not take up forum space)

It was a normal day on the forum. Users were busy making posts and fixing their older entries from creature damage.
One post in a long-forgotten thread stood out, however. WizardOfInt, the one who created it, has allowed it to be completely eaten by the critters, leaving a blank post behind. Now, ontop of it were corpses of all the creatures, killed with the unique internet-wizard method, in a circle around mushed mass that used to be multiple Similisarstractatori creatures. As the “Internet Wizards” believed, this species had the most “cybermagic” that could be used to do “cyber-rituals”. Now, it has came time to do one.
A curious new user, Candledark, has just stumbled upon this post. They managed to see some of the outer corpses being adjusted by the invisible cursors of other users. Then it began.
While Candledark couldn’t see it, 8 cursors started to circle around the mushed corpses, being right in between them and the corpses of the outer creatures. As this was progressing, those outside corpses started to be dragged closer to the mushed ones, until they all met in one place.
At this moment, the page froze for all the ones viewing it and had to be refreshed. When both Candledark and the ritual-makers did so, they noticed that the thread they were in was a lot darker than before, as if something corrupted it, but then this darkness jumped to the home page and after that to an even other thread!

AI cursors happened to receive a major update at this time aswell, making them better at hunting the creatures.

CPO is still waiting for some species to settle in the β-FP.

This strange dark-mist of sorts caused the organism’s evolution to slow down due to unknown reasons. It also seems to have only targetted one species - Fabuloid Similisarstractatori.

( Fabuloid Similisarstractatori has -1 mutation next round)

But there is a way to fight that mysterious mist…
Creatures can evolve to attack the air they breathe in a specific way, making the mist suffer. Currently, it has [15/15 HP] and an attacking evolution of one species FOR ONE MONTH would take out [1-3 HP]. However, the mist can regenerate at the rate of [1 HP/Round].
(You can use mutations as one-time actions to damage the Dark Mist)

MIST STATUS:

  • 15/15 HP
  • LEVEL 1 - can take away 1 mutation from 1 species EACH ROUND.
  • Regenerates 1 HP / Round when damaged.

@Cha - Multipoda Yuyimus, “Centipede” - UC

  • Small Carnivore

Mutations: Restrainting Limbs (+1 Strenght), Paralitic Venom (+1 Strenght)

M. Yuyimus’s lifted legs have turned into restrainting limbs, being able to hold onto prey. It’s venom now paralyzes ones it affects, making the creature deadlier than before.

This species suffered further from the parasite’s grasp…

NPC - Multipoda Narrenists, “Darren” - UC

  • Small Omnivore

Mutations: Higher Fecundity (+0.5 M/R), Population Observarion (EE)

M. Narrenists now reproduces at higher rates, creating more diversity in the population and so making the species’s evolution rate far higher. Like M. TeaKinges, it has also learnt to observe it’s population and respond to low population situations.

This species suffered further from the parasite’s grasp…

@willow - Dichorisare Amplicoma, “Wall Slug” - HO

  • Small Herbivore + Parasite

Mutations: Feature Theft (+0.5 M/R), Spicy (+1 Strenght)

D. Amplicoma’s larvae can steal useful features of the organisms they’re infecting, making the species as a whole evolve a bit faster. It is now also spicy, making creatures not like eating it even more than before and can even transfer a bit of this spicyness to their hosts, however making the hosts fully spicy is not possible due to the spicy chemical’s deadlyness when inside a foreign creature.

A few host species have been lost…

what about the spicy one

anyways,
M1: blood corrodes cursors, permanently, using a stronger, but more restricted version of the fabuloid’s uluthurgy, making them too dull to cut after killing more than 10 adult wall slugs.
M2: spiciness plates (basically just thickened areas of epidermis full of distilled pain, which get transferred to the hosts as well)

Do I have 2 mutations or 1?

Fixed

Next round you’d have 2 mutations, so with a mist attack it’s just 1.

What if I don’t want to do a mist attack? Would that mean I can use 2 mutations?

You don’t have to spend a mutation as a mist-attacking action. You have 1 mutation because there never have 3 mutations on uneven rounds by mutation rate and the mist attacked you, meaning that you have 1 mutation next round no matter what.
