They seem to be targeting smjjames, if you want to save his cell you'll have to spring into action quickly!   

WTF!?!? EVASIVE MANEUVERS!! NOW!!

((Why are you targeting me? lol, as a test I bet :) I'll post more specific actions after you put up turn 7))

Just the (un)luck of the draw. I planned on targeting the cell with the worst arrival roll.. you were the cell with a one..

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Heh, and I probably have the best maneuverability compared to those guys. Anyways, I added more to that post with a plan in mind. I'll modify it later if I need to.

Swim in circle around the enemy cells (NOT too close), distracting them and pick up algaes in the way...My fuel tank is running dry it seems...

Hmm, since you have a +2 bonus to attack for this turn, I wonder if it means you can stun (or paralyze as Knight85 said) both enemy cells at the same time?

Your 'lazorz' is more in function like an electric eel, but yea, at least you got something cool :)

One day I'll have a special ability!

If Maxi blinds one with his light I'll go ahead and ram that one, my faster speed should help wiith that. If he doesn't blind one I just attempt to distract them.

Maybe ram the one that I'm not on? I should be far enough forward to avoid the tail.

I have a penalty anyway so I'll probably just impale myself on a tail or something.

Just on the use of the word paralyze, I might have borrowed a bit from this..
http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1818087/beam_of_light_triggers_and_reverses_paralysis_in_animals/index.html

Obviously doesn't strictly apply, but I thought it would be a fun effect of a cell who can apparently shoot laser beams..

The time will come when we will have to evolve defenses against each other, so, yea. Unless Knight85 changes the rule about there being only one to reach the surface. However, as Knight85 hinted earlier on the first few pages, killing each other off isn't neccesarily the only way to achieve that goal.

We still have a LONG ways to go as we aren't even multicellular yet, so I wouldn't worry about PvP combat yet.

Nm, I don't think Knight85 said anything about killing each other off in order to be the first on land, but who's to say we can't synchronize our evolutions in the final stages of going onto land, that way all 6 of us go onto land at the same time.

Oh look, a distraction!

Distract the bigger cells if they are not paralyzed.  If they are, then feast.

Oh yea, I'd like to add When I latch onto one of the predators and it gets paralyzed, feast like crazy. Extracting both DNA and meat.
