All change is bad

In an evolution game, this opinion is pure madness.

Implying that all organisms must have a membrane in a world with intelligent bacteria?

Definition of life imply a separation from the outer world.

Being in an organism is not that bad, as long as we're not into the stomach-or-whatever.
Eat one carefully, if poisonnous eject the poison or coat our membrane with it. then if not poisonous eat them all, evolve to swim faster in dark ooze, then divide. that our fellow cells do not obey us is not a problem, for me at least.

Conventional definition of life

well, if you are not separated from the outer world, all your organites and proteins will dispersate all over the ooze, or wherever you live. Useful molecules will fly away and you're exposed to every poison. An organism without membrane could be imagined, but in this world it will die quickly.
What the hell happen to a cell wich you pierce its membrane, hey?

Cautiously interact with the green organisms.  If they are passive and poisonous, leave them alone, or try to extract the poison and incorporate it into your body.  If they are not poisonous, just eat them.

I agree that a membrane-less organism is impossible on Earth, but it is theoretically possible in some situations, such as if the organism is so massive as to be held together by its own gravitational field.

[kaian-a-coel]

O_o ok, this might be possible.

We look big enough to engulf a large majority of the odd cells (as long as they're passive). I agree that we should see if they're poisonous first though. If we go the awesome parasite eat-it-from-inside route, we would need to develop immunity to acid so we could survive in something's stomach. After we evolve some more, we should develop a way of making large amounts of ourselves using other cell's facilities. Then we can invade a multicellular organism and infest it.

agree. now all we need is UPDATE.
Maybe we should create an OOC topic on wich we could discuss long-term projects.

You do that, then you PM all of us so that we can know about it.

Turn 8



You approach one, and attempt to devour it, but as you are nearing, it seems to rapidly divide itself...



And more...





Finally, though, the cells stopped dividing. Perhaps a lack of materials?


In an attempt to test if it's poisonous/corrosive, you attempt to eat one.



Nothing exactly harmful. Should we assimilate the materials, perhaps DNA for multiplying?

What now?

The green things are chloroplasts!
Keep them inside the cell.

Sounds reasonable. Lets absorb as many as possible and store them in the walls of our cell. We should be able to pad our cell walls quite a bit while providing a large amount of energy. If they really do divide this fast, we should go after the big ones and try to catch as many as possible when they duplicate. After we completely fill the space between the cell wall and membrane, continue catching others to break them down for materials. We want to increase our abilities and power.

[shadenight123]

let's try and absorb their capacity of splitting! so we can reach the pluricellular stage!
and the green colour.

[Roboboy33]

Catch them all (Gotta catch em all...)

Keep them inside the cell.

Then do this
