Aww, and I grew attached to him to.(no pun intended)

Specialize poison cells that allow us to feed with our tentacles.

But we can feed with our leaves...

It's more of a case where our tentacles eat part of what they poison.

But that prevents our children from fully enjoying mind-control.

Make it something we can actively decide on doing?

I agree with this upgrade. We need a better way to feed so we don't have to rely on the sun.

Awww man, this is so cool. Watching.

Thanks for the ego boost.

Haha, no problem. Honestly though, this is one of the better evolution-themed forum games I've read.

Poison with high acidity doesn't seem like a good idea.

Yea, best evolution game on the board.

Also, the solution the the shell fish is OBVIUS: leave a bit of poison cells on the shell and go away, so that it dosn't notice and gets poisoned when it comes out.

Also, I say we shuld specialize in being internal to the hosts we control, so that there is no visible or smellable etc. difference from a healthy one. Then as soon s atleast one of us infect a member of some highly social species...

Also make so that your presence harms the host as little as posible untill the very last mement where we decide to kill it and enter the stionary stage of our lifecycle.


Also, just to check if I go this right and sugest it if it's not alredy true, and sugest it's made official if it is so that adaptations can be easily aimed at a single of the stages, our lifecycle is:
1) infected/poison cells, that grow in a host to...
2) parasite stage, that takes over the mind of some animal and use it to get near other animals that we then infect using tentcles we grow outside the animal
3) stationary stage, entered when the host dies and/or there are not enoguht hosts around, that is not as good at infecting things because it can't hunt after than, but much less likely to starve.

in that case we should develop the ability to feed from our host, so that we won't need to have our leaves outside

we don't have that already implied by growing from a poison in it? In that case yes.

Obviously we should focus on getting some sort of hivemind going. Then, we infect every creature we come across, who in turn infect every creature they come across, who in turn infect every creature they come across et cetera.

First, we take over the seas... And then, all land! And then the sky, AND THEN...shit, I dunno, aliens or something?

Focus on it RIGHT now? Probably not, to many other things going on.
