Competitive Evolution Season 6 │ Joins Open │ Turn 3
« on: January 16, 2025, 07:49:23 pm »

Yes. Again. Because why not? I am a free man, and you can't tell me what to do!

Oh, and a certain someone requested that I do this. And I couldn't say no.




Do you remember Season 3? The only season of Competitive Evolution and also the only forum game I ever finished? I think my attempt at making the game more in depth has betrayed the purpose of it. Fun. I am not writing a speculative evolution project, I am writing a silly forum game.

So, the rules are just about the same as that season. The things I am keeping are the separate tabs for creature features, the habitat counters and the timespan dice for the events. And no teams from the start. Otherwise, it is the same.

No ecosystem counts. Nothing to really heed, except eachother.

You know how to join. I am going to do a cladogram for this as well.

Yo!  hi! Hey!

If I understand right... I want in?

I just tell ya I wanna join, right?

Also... what about ... evolving towards extremophiles?  I get that there's no extreme currently... but.  That whole events rolls in order, 100-1-20.... whee perfect at last for a species that went that way?

What about evolving towards floating photosynthetic jellyfish-like forms, that might just sail past the 'edge of the livable world'?  I bet no, but... can we try and fail and fail and fail... slowly adding to corpses around the edge of this shelf and.... well.  A life form can dream of making the world bigger?

Or smaller.  What about... intracellular parasites?  Mycobacterium, Chlamydia, Apicomplexans ... Can move towards that?  ... maybe even the nice side of it?  (mitochondria for all!  Chloroplasts galore?  I'll help! if I'm not hurting, and if I can....)

Events rolls happen every turn and I might include gatekeepe, extreme habitats. Otherwise, all exists on the seamount.

There have been a species of plantimal that affected the world in season 3. It is possible. Complete autothropy is not in the game. But being partially so is acceptable. Your creatures cannot be plants.

There have been parasitic species in previous seasons... so, essentially you can. But being a disease... I am going to call a no. It is too passive. This game is essentially a simulation and a part of simulating things is that you need to choose which parts of your target phenomena are more integral to implement.

I’ll join too!

Valid vote. Although, you have three votes each turn. 4 if you have a sexual/energy intensive way to reproduce. I may have forgotten to mention that? Lemme check.

Grins Now I'm tempted to display how very... active.  A disease potentially could be.

Instead I'll be good!

Can we self support speciation?

If we get 3 votes per turn.

I would like to Speciate off of the current pea, support that speciation, and mutate the ability to store chloroplasts in the tissues of one of the two lines.  This is ideally similar to the sea slug that can do so: https://www.livescience.com/animals/leaf-sheep-the-adorable-solar-powered-sea-slug-that-looks-like-shaun-the-sheep.  Except... pea-sheep :)  If I can mutate the other line... it goes cleaner/groomer on the pea-sheep, helping mutualistically to support and nourish; but also grooming off any failing stolen-chloroplast arms before they might hurt the pea-sheep.

If that overreaches, please guide or edit down, I will learn and fit better quickly!

So you want to speciate off of Pea, and then split it into two, with one having chloroplasts and the other having... nothing? You can. That is possible.

We meet again cube of magma. And i am ready to unleash horrible creations once more.

Vote 1: Specialize some cells on the bottom of the pea for digestion. They secrete digestive enzymes on the algal mats to facilitate its absorption. These enzymes break down the cell walls of the plant cells, creating a primitive form of digestion.
Vote 2: Increase in size, becoming flatter and wider.
Vote 3: Speciation This species develops chemotaxis, with specialized cells in the "front" of the creature guiding it towards organic matter.

Sweet.  This Exists Again.

  • Speciate off of the pea, increasing the total size/radius of the organism
  • Evolve Basic Digestive Enzymes, produced by cells on the outside, for breaking down bigger/more complex foods
  • Evolve Cillia on external cells, for improved food collection

Obviously In
1. A nervous system to touch and feel
2. Hairs to touch and feel through.
3. Develop muscles to move the hair. Moving the hair will help aid in locomotion.

So you want to speciate off of Pea, and then split it into two, with one having chloroplasts and the other having... nothing? You can. That is possible.

Yeah yeah!  So, behaviors count as nothing?  So... I can give it something?  For my line 2 - additional transparency, a flatter bodyshape (this 'pea' is becoming like plastic wrap!) and extra sticky surface proteins that are not very aggravating to other creatures.  That's in range?


And key maybe to avoiding becoming a plant - the chloroplasts are not evolved in my line 1 - they are scavenged from eaten plants, kept alive and moved to the skin of the pea, so they can function inside the pea.  Very animal, with a neat trick of saving a useful tool from the food.

Becoming film... Huh. Alright. That counts.

Turn 0



The Events

Turn 0. No events yet.



The World

The seamount is calm and the waters are still... Nothing is happening yet. The world is blank.

Peas are the only extant animal that exist.



There are no extinctions.

You can ignore this. It is essentially here as a template for me to begin. Writing first turn now.

Turn 1



The Events

Still no events yet. Not starting until turn 3 to make sure you won't all immidiately die off.



The Actions
Spoiler (click to show/hide)



The World

The start of the explosion. For reasons unknown, the pea has underwent a process of incredible adaptive radiation and rapid evolution. From a single species, emerged 6 more. 7 in total.

The seamount is still in a calm, uneventful, Ediacaran-esque state.



There are no extinctions. Yet.
