I think it might take a while for a new FG to pop up, for we are past the prime of the games of the forum

I want to eventually revive Twilight Realm, but I’ve been saying that for years and am still not at a point where I can do that well lol

My FGs have been suffering lately from users going on long “hiatuses”, which disables me from making new rounds until enough time has passed to go forward without their input (which, mind, is not possible in all cases still).

I was on an international flight and basically slept for another day past that.
Movement 1: Move to Northern Mangroves.
Also, do we change our species name next round?

Was it every seventh round?

FA: 7
Visitor Roaches/Dumbthriver: Roaches warn each other
POP: 7
FA: 10
Radiodontomimus/UndyingHazard: Strengthen and increase the size of two pairs of the fins to enable flying fish-like gliding, armored scales on the head and body.
POP: 5
FA: 10
Clarkina Pokilos/Anthropocenian: Move to Northern Mangroves

Pelagotoma/aah31: Fat storage
POP: 3
FA: 10
Plankton: None
POP: 4
Ferns/Doom: Increase the area of microphylls
POP: 10
Hydrobryum/Cha: Progenesis so moss replenishes easier after a storm breaks the mats up with mosslings replacing the old moss and spread around the mangroves.

Mesogastra: None
POP: 7

Some changes to the biosphere have been detected, Pelagotoma is liable to be wiped out due to overpredation by Mesogastra, Mesogastra still has a large food source to keep its population decent but that may change over time. A large plankton die off has sprung due to overpredation from herbivores; the aquatic biosphere is under serious threat of an ecological collapse.
Feel free to change the names of your species

M1: Much higher sensitivity to vibrations, making escapes (from the deadly oysters most importantly) much more frequent.
M2: Better vision to perceive when something big is approaching, also for evading

I wouldn’t say they’re really oysters anymore, considering they swim, don’t have a shell and are literally pursuit predators.

And all that in mere 7 million years…

M: Roaches live together in male-female pairs.

Also will our submitted names be altered again?

I’ll call my species simply: Tree Fern. It’s easier for me to follow the name.
Okay, so mutants:
- Reducing the size of the megaspores I produce, ensuring there will be more archegonia that will produce more spores and more space in the spore capsule
- Changing the surface area of the spores, which will be less likely to stick together if they come into contact with water, allowing for more efficient wind dispersal.

I will name my species “Vernalis Emendatus”

I’ll name mine Miskolcis ungarnis.

If an event happens to hit just now I could go extinct…

Honestly, I’m surprised no one ended up going Plankton or Lingula initially. Plankton, for example, would have given the opportunity to completely kickstart the underwater biosphere, while some rather unique motile units could have evolved from Lingula, though the Mesogastra aren’t bad
Nobody choosing Archaea I can understand though. There just isn’t enough time/adaptation flexibility for them to be a viable player species, especially compared to the others

The Methanogens also just stop working in oxygenated places. But that’s likely what you’re referring to regarding them not being viable species.

Still maybe could have been interesting for deep sea ecosystems with a long enough time frame, but ye that’s also a major detractor

Suppose it could turn it interesting within the very oxygen poor or oxygen depeleted depths.

I think it could also be people like to play around with more “developed” lifeforms
