The Thrive Odyssey

action: meditate.
other action: have the group build an arena in order to sate my blood lust.

wait, meditate? dude, c’mon u should mate! I’m getting impatient waiting for the second stage.

Then, tell OoferDoofer to mate and Zenzonegaming to help him find a mate, which probably won’t happen until next round.

I already mated. (post filler)

They’re trying to jam transmissions! We have some new evidence about what happened. It looks as if Diego had-

[Transmission interrupted]

I prefer a quiet station. Thank you.

Well, you posted before I could. Nice job. Anyway, I was thinking about the mate master perk in the civ stage. Imagine it gives a boost for prostitution industry. Just kidding. I keep the original idea in mind.
Now, @OoferDoofer, will you mate so that we can finally make some progress? You’re the only one left.
Sorry if I sound harsh…

Anyway…


Abayomi decides that Magic8Ball04 builds a landmark in the camp. That way, the people here will remember its success in the survival of their species (see justification).
On his part, Abayomi makes a speech on the birth of mankind and the success of their species.

Justification: We have all mated now, so we don’t have anything to do, hence my main action. As for my secondary action, it is supposed to create a remote nation/village in Morocco after we evolve. If one of us stays there, it will be their nation. However, if everyone in my clan leaves, it will become a BOT nation that one of my clan folks or I can use as a second nation/village.

Just a quick notice so that we don’t forget:

Decisions on next stage

Alternate history: True

Village Interstage: True

Skip to Second stage: False

action: make some music for fun

kada is the only one that didnt mate, yay! we’re close to the second stage!

Action: Mate! Post filler in the name of potassism

Just so you all know, you don’t have to immediately evolve after everyone mates. The possibility is unlocked, so you all have to agree to evolve. I’m telling you all this so you don’t feel pressured to rush things.

Should we evolve?

  • Affirmative
  • Negative
  • Neutral

0 voters

I suggest you wait next round or when the choice to evolve is actually available before polling. Right now it is locked because Kada won’t mate until at least next round.

action: kill some monkeys in the arena.
other action: in order to distract the people go to war with nearby monkey clans.

Action: Go Scout More

Edit:
I think a neat idea for the separation between the inter-stage and 2nd stage would be a “research” into some sort of government which would allow the player to stop controlling individual people and begin to declare actions like a regular civ forum game and i think this could be something that would happen on a per-player basis where some people could be on the 2nd stage and some would be still stuck in the inter-stage

I really don’t know what to do now lol
Action: Try to befriend a lion from the nearby pride [that’s probably gonna end up badly, but if I succeed then in this timeline humans will have domesticated lions, which would be an absolute win! :lion:]

Some helpful information as most of us move towards being modern humans. Humans bounce around Africa for a while, and the climate experiences some very dry periods. At around 130kya there’s two groups of humans, the one that becomes the San people of southern Africa, and the one that becomes everyone else. There’s also a few early migrations out of Africa that didn’t last, maybe someone wants to make one of those successful this time around. The big one that stuck is at around 70-50kya.

I’m going to be heading straight to Europe here to become Neanderthals, mirroring our timeline where H. heidelbergensis spreads to Europe around 600kya. I’m not sure how OmnipotentFNarr wants to hand the passage of time.

Action: Dig up a plant, I guess.
