Or we could release tons of happy chemicals into the area of the brain that regulates conscious thought, and thus solve the problem completely.

But after a while, the brain will develop a resistance to this chemical.

Maybe we could focus on making the parasite the 'driver', rather than keeping the human in control, and killing off the parts of the brain we don't need? Solves the problem quite handily.

I say we just save up and cut rebellion out of the picture alltogether before it becomes more of a problem for us.

By frontal lobotomy? making our tentacles sharper and having them cut out the part of the brain that deals with thought is easyer than somehow causing them to not resist.

How do mutations work?

If one mutates do all the rest mutate at the same time some how?

It's assumed that a number of these mutations are not, really - they are simply revealments of things that were always going to happen. (developing new forms and life cycle stages, for example, and sources).

Some others only logically effect new infected targets, but are simply abstracted other. Some represent developments of the super organism - as certain variations become superior, they will simply outnumber the weaker ones.

Other represent the fact that it is, in a way, guided evolution, and even if there are different inviduals involved, they all adapt to the same goal at roughly the same speed (with their offspring picking up where they left off).

Some mutations, however, don't effect many or even most of the group. These tend to be both cheaper and more powerful. :P

I say that we work around rebellion via adaptive control.

How many points do we have anyway? I've lost track and it doesn't say in the first post in the "Mutation Points Available:" section.

Still pays to decide in advance, though.

When can we expect an update?

When Gylph's back online I suppose.

Anyway, I cannot wait until the outbreak gets into full swing, or is that a horrible thing to say?

Anyway anyway, who thinks that the parasite will reach full on worldwide pandemic?

Is there any established system for gaining mutation points, or is it whenever glyph thinks we've done enough?

Fniff, I thought you were gonna post a nice update, either for the source or the days results? :P

And mutations will occur based on certain days survived milestones, and at certain numbers milestones. Thanks to your source, every third time you get a mutation point, you get another for free.
