We already are multicelled, right? Then we should try to develop an exoskeleton (not a shell, but sort of like an external spine). With 5th-order rotational symmetry, remember?

Math is overused anyway.

I suggest our exoskeleton be more of a basket weave of elastic fibers with hard round plates at the junctions

We should probably keep the ability to eat unicellular plankton for the time being. I have nothing against being chemosynthetic but I think we should remain a filter feeder.

Radioactivity.

Nobody will come near us if we emit constant radiation.

The problem with radiation is that there is only 'hide' or 'get DNA torn to shreds'. And we can't really hide if it's inside of us.

We could not have a genetic code highly vulnerable to deadly radiation.

The problem with that is that DNA tends to be vulnerable to deadly radiation no matter how it is. If you want to protect yourself with radiation, go to the irradiated side of the geysers.

Why do we have to use DNA?

Because we're DNA-based organisms. We could switch a few chemicals around, maybe use arsenic for that, but there's no known radiation-proof genetic code in nature.

Not quite radiation proof but darn close. Conan the Bacterium is nearly indestructible. We don't know why, it could be an anti-desiccation adaptation or a total over reaction to background radiation, but they can shrug off 1,000 times the lethal dose of radiation.

This has been dead for months. Where do you guys even find these threads?

Searches for thing like evolution.

[Icefire2314]

I think we should make a new one. I just read the entire thread from start to finish in the past hour. If anyone wants to start the new one, they can, if not, I probably will. I want this to continue 

[Gamerlord]

If you do post a link here.

damn, thought this was alive for a second 

[Icefire2314]

I'm trying to figure out how exactly he ran the game. I PM'ed him about it, he was on earlier today so hopefully he'll reply soon.

Alternatively, do any of you know how it ran?

[Eotyrannus]

I'm not really the best with staying on-course when running something, but I could probably try again (since I'm not really running anything else at the moment).

If anyone else wants a go, the basic rules of it are:

1. Count up the votes. Anything over a certain number (usually about 4) is put into the dice-rolling.
2. Roll a dice. 1 is going so wrong that you improve in the other direction, 2 and 3 are nothing, 4 and 5 are success and 6 is a major impact in evolution.
3. Create the form, changing it as you go.

If you guys wanted, I could run either a rerun of this one or a totally new thing. For the totally new thing, what I have in mind is multiple teams of however-many-you-like competing against each other, possibly using the rolls added up to determine success.

[Icefire2314]

If you start a new one, I'll hold off on making my own, for the fact to keep the main one alive.

It'd probably be best to start a totally new one, in a new thread even.

Trust me, I'm not the best with staying on course either  This game however, has inspired me.
