Sorry guys, I'm taking a hike today and nerding out at a card shop, so I might not be able to update today.

I'll make it up by cranking it out when I get back.

If their plants, then yeah, assimilate them ( still not sure how you do that ) that way you can produce food for yourself using sunlight.  I'm not really sure about the pluricellular stage thing, it would be cool, I guess.  If they're really not that special, just eat them.

I just had an ( potentially stupid ) idea...why not become a parasite or a virus?  It could net us an endless food supply if we have a good host, we could reproduce efficiently, and we'd be really creepy.

That's what we're going for right now, I think. We're going to inject ourselves into a host and use it to produce more of ourselves.

but we should have a really careful approach...we don't want MADAGASCAR to close itself on us...right? *wink wink*

Even if we take Madagascar, what about Greenland?

pfui, greenland is easy.
if we do reach madagascar, it means everything else is already infected.

This might not even be earth. we might be on mars 5 billion years ago when scientists think it was like earth.

as long as we get to madagascar, there is no place we cannot reach.
be it in the stars or in a parallel dimension.
but madagascar must be taken!.

no, you could actually win by getting to madagascar before it closed.
you just had to start parasite. with nothing ELSE. not even bonus of infectivity or anything.
just resistances.
run multiple time the game.
wait for when everywhere were infected.
then make hell break lose.
i lost four days getting it done.

Pretty sure where this whole Madagascar thing came about.

This might not even be earth. we might be on mars 5 billion years ago when scientists think it was like earth.
I doubt we're anywhere real at all, but that could be.

The reason it's so difficult to infect Madagascar is because they have only one entry way, and they can shut it off so quickly.  Island nations like Greenland, Madagascar, and Japan usually escape my grasp. 

Wait...so does this mean this forum game will turn into pandemic?
