As long as you are willing to continue, i am willing to wait for the updates.
The votes are fine.

32
Edit: ok, let's cast my vote

Metameric Musculature: Circular muscles, similar to Earth's earthworm evolve on the corndogs. These muscular bands wrap around the corndog and have three main benefits for the animal:
Movement: by expanding and contracting segments of its body, it can go just a bit faster than it's ancestors
Better respiration: The forced contractions in the body constantly push oxygenated water in the circulatory system, increasing it's efficiency.
Peristalsis: this primitive musculature also provides a primitive peristalsis.

Okay, in regards to Sexual Selection Mechanic, should I;

A) Add it as a pure +1 bonus to things.

B) As a separate, 7 sided vote, non supporting/supportable just like it once was.

C) Add it as an additional 5 sided vote, not supporting/supportable also.

D)Keep it as is.

What do you think?
I would like it as a separate, 5 sided vote.
Edit: predators are probably a secondary concern right now, better to improve my reproductive rate by increasing my nutrient and oxygen absorption.
Develop a ciculatory system: As the digestive system became more and more complex, part of it started to develop a different function. It became much smaller and more widespread, and it filled with fresh sea water. This newly developed circulatory system allowed the corndogs to breathe better, bypassing the obstacle of the armor, and for a more efficient distribution of nutrients in the body.

Completely fine

36
I'm fine with it.

37
Edit: i changed my vote, i do not like the math of sexual reproduction.
Eggs: as budding became more and more unviable a new strategy evolved. The corndogs developed true eggs. One of the digestive system ramification detached from the main system and specialized. When the time comes It liqufies the mucus and dissolves a small section of the armor, before releasing the eggs in the water. The embryos are covered in a thick, nutrient, floating mucus that they will consume at the beginnig, of their lives, before eventually falling down on the bottom of the lake when enough mucus coating has been consumed.

Team pizza: Dirt Armor
A modification of the new digestive system provided the little sausage with the means to defend itself. Filtrated dirt is excreted on the back and sides of the animal, and mixed with sticky mucus to provide a thin but gritty sandy armor to protect the soft flash beneath.

I am going for that +1.

Looks fine to me

Team pizza
I want my creature to evolve an actual digestive system for a better absorption of nutrients. Just a simple tube that goes from front to back, with the cells lining the inner walls specialized for absorption of nutrients.

*Makes sacrifice to the gods of gaming so that this one may last* Count me in!

I will be Team Pizza
I want my Pea to have a form of positive chemotaxis towards food (preferably something that is not its own species)

Why do you have to specify it is not feeding on its own species
Because it is specified in the OP that the Pea will eat anything it touches, including members of its own species.

The Watcher

The Watcher begins creating various small to medium sized mammals, birds, and other creatures to fill the evolutionary gap between the Monkeys and the insects.

The vines are the ecosystem of the chasms and ravines, the world we have created is vast on a level incomprehensible to the creatures that live upon it. There is no end to the potential creations, no end at all. As for magic... I have a proposal.

My proposal is thus: Within all living things, plant or animal, hill or stream, there shall be a soul. If a Mortal is tolerated, or beloved by the souls around them, those souls shall be granted the power to make small changes to the world, insofar as they are able. A stream could slow down to let a traveller pass, or a hill could subtly lead the traveller towards the best path. I propose that when the soul of a sentient Mortal does not go to the Afterlife for one reason or another, it becomes a soul of the land and the plants and animals again, until perhaps one day it may have another chance at life in a Mortal, and may reach the Afterlife. To exist, and to sleep. Even we will sleep one day. No amount of pride will ever change that.

Some spirits may like familiar rituals, some Spirits may prefer that Mortals obey etiquette when around them, with enough Spirits working in unison, mountains may be moved. I am not proposing that this should be the only system of magic, but I am suggesting it as a possibility. I would appreciate it if you could tell me our opinions soon, as what I use my essence for shall depend on what path the proposal goes down, though I have plans for either possibility, and I do not mind if the proposal is rejected.
Oh, I love this idea. If i may add to it, maybe the rituals can run on some kind of sympathetic system. So above, So below, the part for the whole and things like that. Everything is connected, and mortals who recognize this connections should be rewarded.
