He is replying. let’s see what he says.

145

Then I change it to Multipoda Cat-Bestiae, which is technically 2 words.

146

With the - it might bee let’s see what ahh says.

If I just mutate speed twice in the next turn, then I can just survive.

Also, I prey on Dichorisare Chiozore.

148

aah31415 decides or not sus

149

D. Chiozore is bitter, so you cannot eat it (also, such specialization would require a specific mutation)

150

You decides lol where the round is at when come out?

151

Please be more patient

152

Ok. I will shut up and be patient.

153

4 days have passed, mmmmh

It might be my fault.

Round 11 - Year 0, Month 11

FPG is currently working on something which may revolutionize killing the critters of forum on the anniversary of their first appearance…

Species

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

@doomlightning - Dichorisare Chiozore, “Divider” - HO

  • Speed - 6
  • Stealth - 7*(2.5) = 17.5

Mutations: Specialized Tail, Better Wings (+1 Flying Speed)

D. Hemozore has developed a new tail segment, which has pores that allow this species to remove gaseous waste created in the process of digestion. Besides that, the wings now have their own muscles and possess a modified exoskeleton which allows for faster flying.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4/3
  • Stealth - 3.5*(3) = 10.5
  • Strenght - 4*(1) = 4 (Poisonous)
  • User Usefulness - 1.5 (3.5)

@TwilightWings21 - Fabula Antelectum, “Naptime” - ER

  • Small Herbivore

Mutations: Quill Shooting (+1 Strenght), Active Camouflage (+1 Stealth)

F. Antelectum evolved it’s quills further, and now can shoot them at any approaching dangers. Besides it, it’s skin now has photoreceptive cells and color-changing cells, which allow for basic camouflage to hide.

This species is finally able to fight off M. TeaKinges effectively, however M. Yuyimus, a Multipoda species which is faster, stealthier and stronger than the naptimers, strikes right into the middle of the last population.
Despite BCA’s best efforts, no more specimens of Fabula Antelectum have been sighted ever since.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 5
  • Stealth - 4.5*(2.5) = 11.25
  • Strenght - 7.5*(1.5) = 11.25
  • User Usefulness = 6 (8)

@Yuyi333 - Multipoda Yuyimus, “Centipede” - HO

  • Small Carnivore

Mutations: Claws (+1 Strenght), Stronger Leg Muscles (+1 Speed)

M. Yuyimus has evolved claws on ends of it’s limbs, which are used to attack and defend. When it has no option but to flee, it can use it’s robust jumping-leg muscles to escape dangers faster.

  • Speed - 6
  • Stealth - 5*(2.5) = 12.5

  • Tiny Omnivore

Mutations: Size Decrease (Tiny Size), Letter Camouflage (+1 Stealth)

M. Cat-Bestiae Is another split-off of the successfull M. TeaKinges species. This branch of the Multipoda family has evolved to become a lot stealthier - It’s a lot smaller now, and has a grey-white camouflage which is useful for looking like a part of a symbol/letter.

Well, guess I’m gone

Wish I’d had more forewarning of my impending doom, but it was mostly pushed by the extinction event a few rounds ago, which in of itself was sudden so it makes sense. I also didn’t look at the stats of the other species compared to mine which was mb.

Regardless, was fun while it lasted. I’m sure the BCA is weeping profusely over my passing.

Edit: my passing will affect the other species UU due to how the BCA operates, so that will be interesting to watch

Name: Cogito arstractatori
Nickname: Magician

Mutation 1: Cogito evolved the ability to manipulate UI elements and to generate temporary UI elements in the forum, the UI elements that it’s capable of generating are very simple and can be used at most to create a barrier to protect themselves from other organisms or as a pathway to safely travel from one post to the other.

Mutation 2: Cogito’s brain becomes capable of sensing the source code of the forums, this ability gives them the capability of sensing anything that is in a certain radius around them, regardless of physical obstructions or camouflage (This is because they are capable of sensing them directly in the source code).

Mutation 3: Cogito becomes capable of temporarily overriding control of cursors from users and controlling them as if they were an extension of their body. This is used to defend themselves from users AND to kill other organisms using the cursors of users.

time to take over a freshly vacated niche

M1: spam post detection

M2 population control(releasing less spores when overpopulated and a hell of a lot more when underpopulated or when on spam posts)

What was FPG again?

Also, do Cogito get an higher survivability during user hunts since they are capable of learning new behaviours to avoid getting killed in addition to being able to manipulate UI elements and cursors?

160

FPG is Forum Protection Group, AKA anti-Biota Conversation Aliance (BCA)

Yep.

161

M1: a bit more speed will hurt no one
M2: even tougher skin for protection
