I thought the empty slot was for someone to take over the microbe with golgi apparatus and nothing else, is that not the case?

I thought the empty slot was for someone to take over the microbe with golgi apparatus and nothing else, is that not the case? OH yes! Of course! I'm sorry I have a bad memory. Wasn't thinking about it. My apologies. Twice this game. XD it'll probably happen more. I tend to be dumb with that sort of thing. But yes. Alright I know what you mean now. Sorry again. Round 4 being typed up now!

Here we go guys! Hold onto your butts! Free food for 3 more turns. After that you'll need to find your niche, predator or plant basically those aren't the only ones. You'll figure something out. Just do it soon. Remember to make use of your +2's and -1's
Round: 4
Event: 6 | Volcanic Eruption Description: A smaller super volcano located along the planets equator erupts spewing hot magma into the air for hundreds if not thousands of miles around. The plume follows the natural winds and blots out 45% of the sunlight for the next 4 turns, as a result this also increases the greenhouse effect and the natural temperature increases by about 20-50 degrees. This wipes out hundreds of species reducing food levels (All players Conservation Status drops down a level, you all also must adapt to this new world)
evolutionarytardis Mitochondria 4=4 | Worse than expected Description: This cell develops a symbiotic relationship with a fairly inefficient form of mitochondria and so it is now able to eat the free food from the sugars that naturally exist in the water. Past Adaptations: Cili Chloroplasts Conservation Status: VU
joshthehawk Golgi Apparatus: 2+2+3=7 | Better Than Expected Description: This cell develops a Golgi apparatus allowing for the more efficient transportation of proteins around the cell and utilizing more energy from what it consumes. On top of that its incredibly efficient and larger meaning its able to transport more proteins at a higher rate giving this species a unique edge. Past Adaptations: Mitochondria Cilia Conservation Status: NT
moopli Caveolae: 1=1 | Opposite Effect (Sorry for the shiety first roll of the game xD) Description: This cell rather than evolving dimples in the membrane of the cell instead forms bumps that if anything help to push away potential food. While they are still able to absorb food. Its not very efficient at all. Past Adaptations: Golgi Apparatus Conservation Status: EN
classyamoeba Release Poison Into Water (Just so you know you kind of already have this, you got it last turn. So I'm going to assume its acting as a modifier to the previous adaptation, if this isn't what you want tell me but your previous adaptation did do this.): 2+5=7 | Better Than Expected Description: This cell is now able to eject a more refined and deadly version of its previous poison into the water around it and to a further range and with that it can now act as a defensive and offensive weapon. Past Adaptations: Poison Agents Metabolic Poison Chloroplasts (+20%) Conservation Status: NT
taconuke Golgi Apparatus: 6=6 | Better Than Expected Description: This cell evolves an incredibly efficient Golgi Apparatus competing with Joshthehawk for utilization of proteins and their production. This cells Golgi evolved in a very similar way to Josh's Past Adaptations: Flagella Chloroplasts Conservation Status: VU
centarus Caveolae: 2+4=6 | Better Than Expected Description: This cell evolves larger than normal Caveolae allowing the species to pick up somewhat small particles (larger than normal Caveolae) with the ability to pull them into the cell and dissolve them more efficiently for nutrients. (+Size) Past Adaptations: Mitochondria Flagella Conservation Status: VU
Gabriel GG N/A Description Past Adaptations: Mitochondria Binding Proteins Conservation Status: EN
redwatt50 Phagocytosis: 2+6=8 | Super Evolution! Description: This cell is not only able to now pull cells inside it but it boosts the strength of the cells cytoplasm meaning it can hold more cells inside itself with more success, it can absorb larger cells as well. However without the ability to digest any cells the overloading of cells does cause cause the cells to self-destruct. (Don't worry I won't let this effect you too badly. Partly because its required to become predatory.) Past Adaptations: Cili Mitochondria (-5%) Conservation Status: EN

I'll be taking endoplasmic rectilium on this turn to help with digestion. +2 to redwatt

I'll try to evolve lysosomes. +2 to centarus moopli.

Ah whatever, I joined in too late in the round to get any +2's
It also looks like my vote didn't make any sense: What I mean is not a physical structure, but a process which happens over the inner surface of the cell, with vesicles which bud off from the inside of the plasma membrane and merge back to the plasma membrane later. Just like what happens during pinocytosis -- it increases effective surface area, while keeping the plasma membrane relatively constant in surface area. Hell, it pretty much is pinocytosis, just less refined and regulated, with some side-effects like temporary formation of larger endosomes due to vesicles not being able to discriminate between each other and the plasma membrane.
If we're assumed to already have pinocytosis, then I guess I'll try for mitochondria. If not, then I will repeat my vote from last round, with the additional clarification above.

Develop a flagella, because movement is good!
+2 to the classy amoeba.

I should've looked into it more. Endocytosis ends in lysosomes. Its very similar to what centaurs got but without lysosomes you are really feeding food to a nonexistent mouth. Also endocytosis is more of the process itself. I.e. if you got lysosomes and caveolae you would already have cytosis at that point. Unless you wanted receptors. I'll change the round as if you would have evolved caveolae. Is this okay for you? I'm sorry for all the mix ups. I feel really dumb. XD I'll wait for you reply before I change anything.

No problem I didn't ask for lysosomes because I didn't think they'd be a worthwhile vote when I didn't even have any form of endocytosis. You can assume I tried to evolve caveolae, sure. Don't change the roll though. I will change my vote for upcoming round though: Endocytosis -- full-on, phagosome-endosome-lysosome digestion process. Useful for eating bacteria.

So basically. Lysosomes next? Because Caveolae + Lysosomes = endocytosis. You'll get it automstically. By the way you still have crappy caveolae. Lol also you'll need an Endoplasmic Reticulum

Alright I know this sucks but we are still waiting for some people to reply as well as clarification on several details so the 5th round will be held off to tomorrow. Don't worry though normal rounds will resume then assuming we get everything sorted out. Sorry again but it'll help in the long run.

Lysosomes next? Sure, you're the GM, so if you think lysosomes + caveolae = endocytosis then it does indeed.
I presumed that we already had some minimal endoplasmic reticulum, given that we have a nuclear membrane.
To avoid slowing the game down, we can take this discussion to another thread, play this one out without worrying about the details I've brought up, and figure out things for the next one instead.
