There isn’t an active evolution game here anymore, there were two semi recent ones, so I think people might still be interested in one.
Everyone starts off as the same species. The rules are as follows.
There are a maximum of three teams, each member of each team picks a vote for something they want to evolve. For every twenty percent of your team voting for something it gets a +1. So for example if you have one person voting for one thing it gets a +5, while if there three people, two of which are voting for A and one for B then A gets a +3 and B gets a +1. These votes are capped to 6.
Once your organism evolves sexual reproduction you unlock a bonus vote for your team. This vote gets a +3 and can go over 6, but as they go over 6 they become increasingly exaggerated and may cause problems.
I roll a six sided die for each evolution and add the bonus and compare it to the following chart:
1: Inverse of what you wanted, not necessarily bad
2: Bad, potentially inverse mutation
3: Ineffectual, Minor Mutation
4: Minor form of the evolution
5: Desired Mutation
6: Very useful Mutation that goes above and beyond
(Regular Vote Cap)
7: Good, Exaggerated Mutation
8: Exaggerated mutation that may cause problems
9: Very Exaggerated Mutation
The planet we’re on is mostly aquatic. The creature everyone starts off as is an asymmetrical asexual multicellular organism that feeds by eating organic particles it drifts into. The species name is Asel urcreat.
Team Names

"I see you create"
ROFL
I'm making a team called qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm
-
When all three teams are created, changes and voting will commence. On that note, what is your action?
-
I create the team: Blorg
Our first mutation is teeth.

what is your team’s mutation?
-
Team betweencut's first mutation will be occasional bilateral symmetry when a certain gene is accidentally overexpressed!

Future players must join one of the existing teams, players can vote for other mutations for their team or support another interteam mutations
-
I'll join the Blorg team.
-
Clearly, qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm is the way to go. Evolution is more effective the more nonsensical it's name is.

Do either of you want to say what mutations you want to roll for? 0cra still has to mention which mutation he wants

I join qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm and I vote for cilia

The mutation I want is for the Iseeyoucreate to grow fin-like growths for agility.

I’m placing all votes here to confirm that they are correct

Is the team name Iseeyoucreate or qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm? Question answered
I vote for the mutation of Teeth.
-
Is the team name Iseeyoucreate or qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm?
I mentioned the species name. The team name is still qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm.
-

I mentioned the species name. The team name is still qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm.
ok, thanks for clarifying
-
I vote for the mutation of Teeth.
-
I am Team Betweencut, and I vote for a rudimentary nervous system.

As a general rule of thumb, if I only mention the Iseeyoucreate (or whatever bullshit the species will be renamed to in the future), then I'm talking about the creature; if I only mention qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, then I'm talking about my team.

Asel urcreat has split off into 3 species. Asel iseeyoucreate has developed small outgrowths that provide a small assist with movement, but its cilia are its main form of movement. Asel blorg developed indentations that end up trapping food before it can get digested. Some food still makes it through though. Asel betweencut has developed minor bilateral symmetry, as well as a rudimentary nervous system. The nervous system allows them to know when they are touching food so they can orient themselves toward it.
((Any questions, ask))
-
I join Team betweencut
Now that we've got a nervous system... sort of, we might as well get some sensory organs, too.
As such, i vote for rudimentary electroreceptors for our next mutation
-
I'd like to join team Blorg, if that's alright.
-
It’s alright. New players are welcome unless I end up saying otherwise at some point, which won’t happen any time soon.
-
As the leader of qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm, I want the next Isel iseeyoucreate mutation to involve copying the betweencut mutations by evolving a nervous system to sense food.

I have a question though. What are the other organisms? Where do the food particles come from?
-
Right now, mostly algae and bacteria
-
I think we need of the Blorg team need to to develop some form of movement.
-
So if that is not teeth what is it?

you rolled a 2, which means it’s the opposite of teeth. Teeth are outgrowths that break food. What you have are holes that food can get stuck in.

+1, although chemoreceptors (~smell/taste) may be more immediately advantageous
-
I will join team betweencut if that is ok

So we talking fins? Legs? Wings? Jet engine? Just want to be clear on that.

I think we're one celled things so I guess fins?

((Did this die already?))
-
((If I counted right, there were 6 votes, also, the 2 that asked to join are in but haven’t voted yet))
-
I will join team betweencut. Develop chemoreceptors (for smell)
Chaos, Vote~ Or +1 mine.
