Manifest Destiny

[Retech]

The Casthenian people have a massive increase in population (First 20, lolz), somehow tripling the population instead of doubling it.

 

-Agrius

 

The egg remains unbroken, though the mother is still no where to be seen. The poison shroud lingers.

 

+0.2 Poison

 

-Steve

 

Your microbes grow fatter and fatter. They begin to have trouble swimming with only one flagellum. They fail to mitosize. You have a feeling that they're mitosizing too quickly and that they should try something else.

 

+0.5 Gluttony

+2 points

[Seraphi]

Agrius strengthens the poison shroud and continues to try to break the egg.

[Retech]

The Ikanan people...born in the lush waters of the tropic. They feature better than average jaws and have spines on their backs, perfect for fighting enemies. And enemies they can find in this area. The tropical land is the most competitive and fierce, but the victor will have access to great bounty.

 

The Microbes find a patch of algae that is drifting downwards. There seem to be some creatures already eating it.

[paul191600]

The Ikanans shoot spikes at the creatures eating the alge.

[Retech]

You feel that your microbes do not have the necessary skills to break into the egg. Maybe the Narwhals could help...if the poison wasn't there.

 

(Ikana, spikes don't fire at this level. Perhaps that can be the skill you have at the next stage?)

 

 

 

Also everyone, I have to leave for tennis now. Feel free to continue posting, as I will respond when I get back. So you can post whenever you wish, and if you can only post once, then give an overview of your species does. This way, people can still keep track and keep pace even if they can't play 24/7. Also, 20 points is required for the next level as a microbe, and 100 points is required to enter the aquatic stage (note, the higher you go, the more points you earn. This is because points saved from a microbe generally don't have too much of an effect in the squatic stage)

[Seraphi]

Agrius leaves the egg, and continue drifting, leaving a poison trail as they go. They will continue drifting, poisoning, eating and growing for a while.

[paul191600]

The Ikanans attack the creatures with their spines and jaws, and then hopefully get the alge for food.

Ok so my sixty poison resistant microbs continue practicing communication, before settling down on the stomach walls, occationally having a mini feast.

[Grim_]

Grim attempts to grow another flagellum on his microbes (in the next mitosis) he mitosises them without feeding them.

Dogpile on Goa'uld?

[The_Mather1]

I will not attack any of you, nor will I pretend to be a god in order to get your worship.

The only reason I chose goa'uld was because it was the first thing I could think of and i did not care to make up a new species.

[Grim_]

Or you know you could just take it as you go...

[Retech]

-Agrius

 

You find a cave which seems to be shut at the moment. Maybe there's a way to pry it open?

 

-Ikanans

 

Your forces fail to surprise the creatures and they begin to fight back. You barely defeat them, at the cost of 50 microbes. However, the food is now all for the taking.

 

+0.5 Combat

 

-Microb

 

Your people begin to grow fatter. They're content for the moment, but some of them miss life on the outside.

 

-Grim

 

Unfortunately, even though his microbes are fat (how many do you have btw? I believe it's 200, but I don't precisely remember), they are not strong enough to mitosize without killing themselves. Also, his species is not evolved enough to grow another flagellum (you need more points).

 

-Goa'uld

 

Please revise your traits/bonuses. Neuro-toxin is probaly at the next stage, so if you would poison, you can have poison glands for 10 points. (same as Ross) I'm going to allow this species, but they probaly won't turn out like Stargate, since unexpected things happen. For example, Grim has obese unicorn slobs with flagella and Archi has a buncha zealot cannibals. :)

[Retech]

Oh yah, also noting that all of you start in totally different sections of the map. You'll probaly wander a bit in the tribal stage before you meet anyone.

[The_Mather1]

ok, bio-electric emiters then(like those bulb-like things in SPORE).

[archimage_a]

Microb Bob:

"Archi has told me, the world outside is dangerous, anyone trying to leave might endanger everyone, thus they will be declared heratics and will be no friend of ours"

In morse code...

[Retech]

The Goald people have chosen you, almighty Ra, to lead them to great victories over their enemies! Starting in the nutrient rich waters of the tropics, the Goalds have many enemies. Their electrical powers have managed to hold them at bay for the moment, though further success cannot be guaranteed.

 

-Microb Bob

 

The people grow more faithful to your message and begin preaching your name (in flashes and glows).

 

+0.4 Zealotry

[The_Mather1]

Ra leads a hunt for smaller pray.

[Retech]

The Goa'uld people encounter a leviathan with six legs and two bulging eyes the size of each of your individual microbes. Fortunately, it doesn't attack.

[The_Mather1]

The goa'uld attempts to gnaw through the leviathan's skin, near the top of it's spine.

[Retech]

The Goa'uld do not have enough time to break the skin before the Leviathan eats them all, so Ra decides not to do such a thing. He has a feeling that using their strengths is better than trying their weakness. The Leviathan feels tickled.

[The_Mather1]

Were they eaten or not?

 

If they were eaten the goa'uld starts clings to the leviathan's uvula and starts jolting it.

 

If not they attempt to enter the leviathan's tear ducts.

[Retech]

They weren't eaten.

 

-------

 

The goa'ulds begin trying to enter through the Leviathans tear duct. Then they realise that it doesn't have any, though it is temporarily blinded by the shock it receives. The Leviathan lashes out at your group but misses.

 

+0.2 Electric Skill

[The_Mather1]

The goa'uld attempt to ram into the leviathan's eyes, jolting parts first.
