First off I'd like to welcome all to the very first game on the forum!!! If things look extremely... Well.. Crappy. I'm working on it still. So in a few days things should be looking nice and shiny. So that PR message being said. Lets jump right in! I'll be accepting 8 players for this first game. I follow the original rules and should someone go extinct they will branch off one of the still surviving species and continue playing. And remember just a quick recap of the rules hoping you all read them. Remember mutations, nothing you obviously wouldn't get, such as wings while single cell. All else goes if its biologically viable. I'll throw wrenches in around Round 3. And when giving +2 to players or -1 it's either or, you can't do both unless a special rule is given.
Round 0
Millions of years have past. The constant cycle of heating and cooling has slowed to form more habitable conditions on this early planet. Despite the still harsh conditions life is slowly seeping its tendrils into the planet even though there are constant volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that cause the deaths of thousands of species on a monthly basis. However, this forcefulness of nature is the drive forcing other species to evolve at a faster rate. The less fit die off.
The first and only species is Protobactum Genesium, though this is surely only temporary. Protobactum Genesium is a simple Eukaryotic bacteria cell, consisting of only a nucleus and a membrane. It lives at the very bottom of the sea, feeding of the compounds that were created when the planet first formed. It makes energy by metabolizing glucose in its cytoplasm, a fairly inefficient process. Without chloroplasts or any DNA coding for chemosynthesis this organism is very dependent on its constantly changing environment, and is thus given the title of Endangered. It cannot move and can only hope that its food (random proteins and sugars) will be carried close enough by the currents to be engulfed.
Appearance:
Doesn't form colonies and cannot be seen without a microscope.
Environment:
Bottom of sea
Conservation Status:
EN

I'll evolve Chloroplasts. I hope more players will join.

I'll evolve cilia. That should work right? If not, then tell me.

I'll evolve cilia. That should work right? If not, then tell me. Yes they are. And you don't need to ask. If you can't do it I'll tell you. Pretty much anything goes. Btw don't forget your +2 or -1! These are useful tools for anyone.

I will shoot for developing Golgi apparatus, and +2 to josh's cilia.

I will +2 JhoseTheHawk , and I will develop Chloroplasts. I intend to become a separate species soon. The default avatar is also glorious!

I'm going with mitochondria, and I +2 the cilia.

Ill Shoot Classy a +2 to keep the good vibes going and opt for some movement with flagella.

I vote for the cells begin to form colonies. And +2 Golgi vote.

I vote for the cells begin to form colonies. And +2 Golgi vote. Colonies? Already? I think you may want to be thinking more about survival than colonies, you currently don't have any ATP producing organs like Mitochondria. But if its what you really want. Alright.

The default avatar is also glorious! Yes! It's glorius! But it's more fun to be original and have your own avatar of course.

Quick message to everyone. Only one more post is required before I will put up round 1!

I'm coming from the Thrive community forums to fill the 8th slot. I'll try to evolve mitochondria. +2 to taconuke.

Round 1:
Event: N/A
evolutionarytardis Chloroplasts: 5=5 | As expected Description: This cell manages to form a symbiotic relationship with Genesius Chlorum, allowing it to produce it's own energy with an efficiency that will do only for now. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: NT
joshthehawk Cilia: 2+2+2+6=8+ | Super Evolution! Description: This organism does not only push out its microtubules to form cilia but they are incredibly efficient taking little energy from cell and making it officially the most maneuverable as well as the quickest species on the planet. As a result the race is beginning to thrive. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: LC
prudentia Golgi Apparatus: 2+3=5 | As expected Description: This species develops a Golgi Apparatus allowing it to process proteins more efficiently and boosting the cells longevity. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: NT
classyamoeba Chloroplasts: 2+6=8 | Super Evolution! Description: These cells develop a different symbiotic relationship with Freesium Chlorum, an incredibly efficient form of chloroplast that gives them an extra 20% more energy than normal Chloroplasts. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: LC
taconuke Mitochondria: 2+1=3 | No effect Description: Nothing happens to this cell this turn. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: NT
centarus Flagella: 4=4 | Partially successful Description: This cells microtubules push out a single Flagellum which gives them the ability to move albeit not very fast. This mutation boosts their ability to find food and as a result tend to live longer. However the benefits are not as great as they could be due to the flagellum eating up quite a bit of the cells energy. Luckily there is plenty of food around. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: NT
GabrielGG Binding Proteins: 4=4 | Partially successful Description: This species develops Binding Proteins that tell other cells in the vicinity to stick together and form groups increasing their ability to survive. However, without Signal Agents telling them to stay that way and a low efficiency of the binding proteins many of the cells have a tendency to simply float away. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: NT
redwatt50 Mitochondria 4=4 | Partially sucessful Description: This cell manages to form a symbiotic relationship with a relatively inefficient form of Mitochondria giving them 5% less efficiency than normal energy production from natural sugars in the water. Past Adaptations: Conservation Status: NT
