Why are you constantly dying?

[Crystalizedmire]

If you still allow it I'm in! Just tell me where to start

Yeeeaaaaa new playah

It is pretty simple to play. You play as an evolutionary lineage, and speciate and mutate to adapt to new situations. You have four actions per turn. Just emulate the others, really, they have the gist of it.

You will need to choose where your lineage must start though, so pick a species from the existing ones to serve as your starting species. Because Tiny Dropcovy, the last common ancestor, is extinct.

[notquitethere]

My advice would be to pick a base species which has a good survivability (is LC100), some extra senses or brain power, and isn't excessively specialised yet.

[Crystalizedmire]

1. speciate from Spadenose Dropeel
a. Instead of sucking algae from the floor it instead sucks up algae from the surface
b. Change the shape from serpentine to a flat flounder-like shape to capture more sunlight
2. heat resistance
3. develop behaviuor in which the creature basks near the surface of the water
ss action: become a mixotroph(which is a living thing that consumes and photosynthesizes which is hopefully more animal than plant) by stealing chloroplasts from food.

[Crystalizedmire]

Speciate Spadenose Dropeel
1. Evolve to become more compressed, reducing the number and size of bones (to squeeze into smaller gaps to get to food, but also to withstand higher pressures) and send to the The Midnight Zone
2. Improve keratin brushes, enlargening mouth for more efficient brushing

Speciate Loud Pancod
1. Improve vocalisation, weaponising into a sonic snap to disorient predators and rival fish
2. Mutate hearing organ along back, giving it improved awareness and send to Eke Shallows

[SS] Speciate Grabnose Dropcod
1. Improve nose hooks, specialising in hooks to hang off the Flashy Carriercovy and descendants, using the other fishes' known toxicity as a shield against predation
2. Mutate bright pink and yellow stripes, to mimic the Flashy Carriercovy

Speciate Snapping Tullycod
1. Improve target selection/pattern recognition center in brain to better avoid eating toxic prey (or prey with markings that could indicate toxicity)
2. Mutate organ to excrete through the skin any toxins ingested

Dude, stop speciating

[The Canadian kitten]

Inb4 NQT becomes an entire ecosystem and Knightwing's Shellfish 2.0 kills off everything here

[TricMagic]

NQT is going to survive the end of the world(And feed Knightwing's Shellfish 2.0.) Lot more space available this game, an any excess will just get outcompeted. Or outcompete others who fare worse and knock them out.

[Magmacube_tr]

Dude, stop speciating

That's the point of the game, however. You speciate. Sure, notquitethere is following a very aggressive playstyle, but he is doing absolutely nothing wrong. Don't worry, you can easily just claim the still vacant slots. Just don't speciate on the Bir Shallows at the moment.

I will have to skip your vote if you do not answer by the time I wake up. We waited too long.

While I mostly mean that in a joking manner, I am slightly concerned someone would exploit this to mutate 8 times in a single turn for every turn

[Knightwing64]

Fair. Public school + weak Immune system = pain

1: Develop a larger brain, especially focused on learning to recognize predator species and making sure they don’t eat their prey.
2: Encourage movement with increased aggression and improved air boosters.
3: Improved Lightning, obviously.
SS: Bioelectricity is so potent, it enhances the nervous system and flows through the body at all times, rendering their body not habitual to any foreign influence, like parasites or various bacteria.

notquitethere
1: Speciate Spadenose Dropeel:
  A: Compressed, soft skeleton and send to the Midnight Zone
  B: Improve mouth brushes

  B: Hearing and send to Eke Shallows
SS: Speciate Grabnose Dropcod:
  A: Improve nose hooks to grab onto others
  B: Müllerian mimickery
3: Speciate Snapping Tullycod:
  A: Better brain to avoid poisonous animals
  B: Expelling toxins by sweat

Knightwing64
1: Bigger brain
2: Stronger air boosters
3: Improve electricity
SS: Ambient metabolic electric charge

The Canadian Kitten
1: More compact digestive system
2: Larger tail fin
SS: Toxin immunity
3:  Speciate the above
  A: Smaller size
  B: Ability to work together

TricMagic
SS: Antidote to Flashy Carriercovy poison
1: Speciate the first vote

2: Speciate the first vote
  A: Omnivory and send to Eke Shallows
  B: Improve acid resistance in saliva and send to Eke Shallows
3: Speciate the first vote

flazeo25
SS: Digestive system more suited to eating corpses
1: Lose fins and grow four flippers
2: Speciate the above
  A: Stinger with weak poison on tail and send to Eke shallows
  B: Prosocial behavior

  B: Evolve deep sea adaptations and send to Midnight Zone
2: Speciate Migratory Krillgore
  A: Omnivory

  B: Send to Uch Shallows
SS: Support action 2A

Crystalizedmine(Your votes are confusing, is this good? You can't speciate like that. A and B creates two separate species with two different mutations, not extend an action into two parts)
1: Speciate off of Spadenose Dropeel and mutate filterfeeding
2: Become flat and float on the surface
3: Heat resistance
SS: Become partially autothropic by harvesting choloroplasts from algea

He can. However, all those mutations will belong to 8 new species. He can't pile at most 4 at a single species. A and B are the mutations each new species will inherit.
