CRACKYou are free.
The shell that kept you safe as you grew has become confining and uncomfortable.
You have burst forth from it and see the world around you for the first time.
Your nest is nestled in crook of a gigantic stump. It's enourmous roots surround your nest. Your nest is parially dug into the ground against the tree. It
When you climb it you can see a forest to the east and cliffs to the north east. To the south is many shrubs.
The largest beach is to the west and the waves dance back and forth, coming and going in turn.
You can here a whistle of the wind and a song of sparrows.
The grass sways back and forth gently around you.
You can see your simblings aound you.
They seem to have hatched at the same time you did.
Your nestmates have speckled fur that is brown and green. Some of them have a bit of grey as well in their fur.
Their fur is thin and covers their small bodies. Their hands have six digits with somewhat long fingernails witch widen as they get further from the fingers.
You also see three adults nearby. They have longer nails than you do.
One is sitting atop the tree trunk looking in every direction vigilantly.
Another looks protectively at you the newly hatched eggs.
A third you can see further away to the south collecting things from some of the shrubs there.
Remember your abilities and that food is important.

I have attached a few elements of advice from the original that are still applicable to this game.
I'll start with an explanation of how to determine your characters abilities. If you open the character list you will see your characters name and attributes. You will need to also look at the first post to see what those attributes actually do. The Red part of the character list indicates a characters Caste. The black ones are Abilties and the Blue information is temporary info, Including the tile that the character is currently on. At the very least you should memorize the effects of your own characters abilities.
There are few actions that can be taken without research or abilities. These include attempting to forage on a tile, hunting, and researching. If you attempt to do something you cannot do, you will be notified next turn.
This will generally waste your turn, but if you take note of the "Free Research" ability that is granted by the "Intelligent" class, you will see that it will not be a total waste. Some Natural Abilties and Character Abilities include actions that you can perform.
Your first priority should be to get a stable income of food so that you don't starve.
After that, you should figure out what you will want to do in order to ensure your species long term survival and prosperity.
Remember that you will require some degree of teamwork for this.
You will also want to keep an eye out for new game rules.
These will generally be mentioned in update posts.
Lastly if you catch the GM making a mistake, please let me know. I suspect I'll forget little details here and there. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification on rules. If I make a rule in an update post and do not put it on the first post, be sure to tell me.
