Spore has lied!

sigged.

Also, for darwin's sake, please replace every mention of "oxygen" by "hydrogen", "water" by "methane". and, if it isn't too much, "sugar" by "hydrocarbons". yup', we eat oil.

go carefully look at those vibrations.

PS: -our completely different metabolism mean that earthlings wouldn't be edible for us, and neither are we for earthlings. We're made of oil, simply saying;
-our "RNA" and "DNA" aren't exactly RNA and DNA, but i don't care about using these names anyway, as they work the same way.
-Fun fact: due to the combination of high atmospheric pressure (50 times earth's) and low gravity, a human-like creature from our world could, on earth, support several tons of pressure and suffer no damage at all, despite being barely able to lift himself up.
-I invented a language (more of a code in fact) for later use.
-If this thread die, i beg you to start the next where the previous died.

We're in methane. keep this on mind. chemicals behave differently.
First, methane is basic carbohydrate. an energy source much more efficient than glucose, if well-used.
Second, it is non-polarized, contrary to water. Membranes on earth auto-assemble because they are repulsed by electrically-charged water (they are made of fat). We currently swim in fat. fat is long chain of carbohydrates. methane is carbohydrate.
Third, it is COLD. damn cold. and pressure is infernal. around -90°C and fifty times earth's atmospheric pressure. Normals proteins and DNA/RNA won't work.

We must reinvent everything from the goddamn beginning.

Some peoples get bored. so i went up with some rules to make this more interesting. With dices.

-Original hill have 10 Defence Points (DP).
-Every time you attempt an Hill Siege, you gain 1d20 Ressource Points (RP). Keep track of your RPs. you keep them until you spend them.
-You can spend any number of RPs you want when you assault The Hill. Then roll 1d20 and add the number of RP you spent. The number of Hill's DP is lowered by this number.
-If Hill's DP are lowered to 0 or less, you get the Hill. Your Hill. You get 10 free DP, and you can spend your RPs to increase these DP.
-If Hill's DP stay above 0, the Hill's owner stay the same. He get 1d20 RP, and can turn them into DP. But if another siege happen before he do so, it's too bad for him.
-You can't get more than 1d20 RP per post. If multiples sieges happen before the hill's owner post, he only get 1d20 RP.

-RP and DP aren't just points. they're mens, weapons and so on. You MUST declare what they are every time you attack or reinforce your defences.

What do you think of this?

the city grows old. My ruins.

also, i got backstabbed twice in two pages...

you bored to death. Your dusty corpse fall down the cliff as i poke you. My hill.

I open a Warp portal with my own flesh, and thousands of demons rush out to kill things and eat souls. my hill.

I throw a planetoid at the hill. the ground melt, and behave like a water pond in which falled a droplet. the rebound make a central peak made out of LAVA appear. then the ground solidify. I claim the central peak of the crater. My goddamn meteor hill.
