As an elf, she is unable to sleep. Also, she's semi-photosynthetic (which I won't bring up the logical ramifications of again because it'll just make me seem like a pervert) and secretly a witch!

...Okay immediate invasion.
Build up mana and have the soldiers build up walls. Look for bombardier beetles, skunks, spitting cobras, or something.

« on: April 10, 2013, 07:56:17 pm »*twitch*In that case the Catalyst has to overcome the ultimate evolutionary being if it wants to thrive on my planet -a dwarf who ascended....Good?*Shrugs* Attempted Nice Guy Traurig was burned alive trying to get to the Spire. Attempted Nice Guy Nelkathar was eaten alive trying to get to the spire. Attempted Nice Guy/Gal Neyravah was killed by the same people it intended to help. Nice Guy Corvus was consumed from the inside by Aldemas who Corvus had killed unintentionally...
I could probably go on with more examples but I won't. The Catalyst is my intended embodiment of evolution. Attempted nice guys have for the most part suffered for it so far. That means for survival and evolution purposes, the Catalyst must be primarily self serving if it wants to thrive. The most advantageous traits the Catalyst observes are those that it will incorporate into its personality.
*multiple twitches*
*many many twitches*
*calm*
EVOLUTION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY SCIENCE ESPECIALLY BIOLOGY ESPECIALLY EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY IS A BIT OF A SORE POINT WITH ME SORRY EVOLUTION REFERS TO GRADUAL INHERITABLE TRAITS ACCUMULATED OVER GENERATIONS NOT CHANGES OVER AN INDIVIDUAL'S LIFETIME SORRY FOR THE RANT IT'S A SORE SPOT.
*breathes*
Sorry, bit of a rough day, and I discovered my new character got killed off before I could do anything. And this observation has been ignored.
The Catalyst is, as far as I can tell, evolving. A bit bacterial in its genetic assimilation, but evolution nonetheless.
Tangential: how did I not get a SINGLE ACT from the power of a whole star, AND a century's worth of betrayers stuck in the ring?
Also, though I'm sure it's probably because "Lol GM fiat" which is fine, but how did the fleet find my system when by definition my system can't be found unless you literally stumble across it despite the fact that it's quite literally in the ass-end of nowhere?
because "Lol GM fiat"
Well, seeing how Udil started a new family and will pass on the traits that secured him the godhood, I'd say thats evolution at work.Even accepting this as true, which I don't, and assuming gods reproduce in a normal way, which is probable, Udil himself isn't evolved. The changes were not caused by any remotely natural process; it's more proper to say that labradoodles evolved than Udil.
Nothing. Fill the planet with your kids. Or eat them all.Whats wrong with kids?Best not to have kids.Well, TECHNICALLY, Udil isn't evolved.Well, seeing how Udil started a new family and will pass on the traits that secured him the godhood, I'd say thats evolution at work.
He ascended, yes, but that's not an act of evolution, as by definition Evolution happens due to genetic drift, not divine inspiration.
Which means that the Catalyst isn't exactly evolution either, he's a cheap knock-off of it.

Presumably they have a mix of blue and red chlorophyll in their hair.
Anyways.
Put down alembic. Check the larger cabinets for lackeys. Be assured by a random passing human that sleeping isn't all it's cracked up to be.

« on: April 10, 2013, 07:40:35 pm »1. A worker should be cheaper, not to mention less complex and easier to salvage if a failure, you're assuming that we can control it while your arguments are focusing on the "what if it's uncontrolled" argument.1. Why? Prototypes tend to be, you know, worse than the final product. Best try to get the bugs ironed out in versions which aren't vital, and if we accidentally make it out-of-control we won't kill half the village.1/ We make it a distance from the village. And keep enough mana in reserve to blast it into smithereens if it goes rouge. But I'm pretty sure we'll do fine with the "Don't attack these people" instruction set.
2. How would a normal polyp function AT ALL? Okay, I guess that I didn't say that.

« on: April 10, 2013, 06:48:32 pm »I believe GW's referring to the fact that everything Neyravah did went wrong.Not quite everything...
...Accidental--Not on purposeI know the definitions and was aware that it was connected to your previous character's
Multicidal--Kills a lot of people
Power--Godlike beingpoor dice rollsmiscommunication with the mortals. I just wasn't sure if you were saying that you were glad I accidentally killed a lot of people and that it made you feel better about not being the only being to destroy what he/she was trying to help.
That does sound a lot worse than I imagined.

Luckily the Catalyst doesn't really care too much about helping others. It cares about consuming things, getting bigger, becoming stronger, learning new things, evolving and keeping its word. The last of those things will likely result in my character trying to make amends with Feros but other than that no big deal. I'll probably just spend the next few turns trying to clean up my mess, learn from my mistakes and grow stronger from it....Good?

Go ask the proprietor if there's anything that needs to be done. Take a response of "no" as an excuse do go do something fun.
