Also, for tech advancement if you give a race advance technology and if they are cultural not ready for this technology they will probably destroy themselves with this technology. They, may also become so dependent on this technology that it will stunt their growth culturally and technology wise.

Agree.

A new petition for my planet. I'll add in my sentient species.

Spoiler: The Monoliths (click to show/hide)

       Create a race of sentient beings on the surface of the moon. These creatures stand twelve to sixteen feet tall and two to six feet wide and have the appearance of large stone obelisks with a single large eye in the upper center of the construction. Its skin, including that of the eyelid, is made of igneous stone. The eye is about eight inches wide, with a black pupil, blue-tinged white surface, and a rough-textured iris of the color of the stone. At the base of the monument the creature is swathed in a tangle of black tentacles. The tentacles are covered in black scales, and are rough and dry. The creature's eye can project a cone of blue light that allows it to manipulate matter and energy within it. The effect reaches out 25 feet. Monoliths communicate telepathically. They are made of solid stone with compartments carved in it. These internal compartments contain an assortment of mechanisms which serve to keep it alive and working properly. Monoliths gain nutrients by extracting them from the ground around them. This is accomplished by burrowing the tentacles into the ground, where they then anchor the creature and leach minerals from the planet's crust, which are used to maintain the creature. Monolith's move at 75% of human walking speed. They live in nomadic groups of 7-12 individuals. Monoliths are very intelligent. They act and think slowly and methodically, often pondering on questions for years straight. Monoliths do not sleep. They live for 3 to 4 millenia on average. They are active during the morning and evening, when the temperatures are not so extreme. During extreme conditions, they close their eye and root themselves, then wait out the circumstances. They weigh, on average, 50 to 150 tons. They are calm and ponderously inventive.
          Monoliths reproduce using a long ritual. They have no gender, and reproduction starts when two members begin the ritual. They gather and store large quantities of minerals, and begin assembling these using their eyes into the form of a new adult Monolith. The new member of the species is made genetically different through the whims of the creators, who each help to form it in the image that strikes their fancy. The process takes several centuries. Monoliths use surplus minerals to grow and strengthen themselves, and continue growing throughout their lives. When a Monolith dies, its internal systems shut down, and it becomes a lifeless heap of rock which is eroded away by the high winds.

Make 6 of these on my moon.
Also, if this passes, could I have more freedom with time acceleration due to the slow nature of Monolith development?

I think that petitions could be better organized by naming/numbering them in true bureaucratic fashion, and then having a silent vote over PM.

I'm gonna put a mixture of gaseous elements (mainly hydrogen) into the atmosphere of my moon.

Petition race:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seekers
They have no unifying form preferring to appear as different variety of objects or beings. The reason behind this is that they are ethereal beings that are capable of manipulating energy at a small scale. They can reproduce by either asexual or sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction happens when a individual becomes bloated with too much energy causing the individual to literally separate itself in half. Sexual reproduction happens with two or more individuals contribute some of their energy to create another identity.
Note: Both types of reproductions create a separate identities from the original(s).

Culture:
They are a friendly race that prefer not to reveal themselves from the beings they study unless these beings are aware of their existence. They refer to my avatar as the adviser.
They have four main tenets:
1. Preserve life plus sentient cultures and knowledge .
2. Spread life throughout the galaxy unless life already exist somewhere they want to seed, it is the best to move on then.
3. Help my avatar catalog these knowledge and cultures.
4. Report any new races to me.

edit: There home planet is my moon, although the seekers use it more as a resting spot and place to debate.

[Remuthra]

The ability to terraform planets? That seems gamebreaking. I suggest modifying it to be able to terraform an area around itself.

[kj1225]

On my moon vegetation mainly shrub-like bushes that hold edible berries and trees with sweet tasting edible leaves and white with red center flowers appear.



What am I planning?

[jaass]

Change from terraform to influence.

Silent votes seem like too much of a hassle.

IMHO, the "clutter" is worth it.

I agree, the current system of voting is better. This is like a divine Senate, we want discussion and persuasion. In addition, the thread can already be somewhat confusing. We don't want all petitions being voted on at once.

I understand your points of view. I don't exactly agree with them, but I understand them, and respect them.
I will now slip into the background, waiting for someone to get around to making civilizations that make heroes.

[Remuthra]

Yeah, mine doesn't really have heroes
