Everyone starts with a single-celled Eukaryote described at the bottom of this post. You get to choose one mutation per turn. I will then roll a die to see whose mutation worked and whose failed miserably. The dice rolls are as follow:

1 - The resulting mutation will be completely opposite effect than the one asked for

2 - The mutation will have a slightly deleterious effect on the creature

3 - No effect

4 - The mutation partially succeeds

5 - You get exactly what you asked for

6 - You get an even better mutation that the one you asked for

8 - SUPER EVOLUTION!

During your turn, you can choose to give  any other player  a +2 on their roll in addition to choosing your own mutation. You can also choose to give a player a -1 on their dice roll, if you want it to fail.

Also, if your mutation is close to impossible, like asking for wings when you are still a single-celled organism, I will not incorporate it.

So once again, if you roll a 2, I will give you a bad adaptation; but if you roll a 6, you will get a good one.

When I want to there will be an event. I will roll a dice and if there is a 1 or a 2, you guys get a bad event. A 3 and a 4 does nothing, and a 5 and a 6 will result in a positive event.

In addition to the players' organisms, I will also have my own species (Don't worry I don't cheat)

Every organism will have an endangerment ranking assigned as follows.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Extinct (EX) – No remaining individuals, sucks to be you <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Critically endangered (CR) – Almost dead, will probably die next turn unless you change something

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Endangered (EN) – You will probably live unless there is a bad event or someone evolves to specifically target you

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Vulnerable (VU) – Fairly safe, but might die in future

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Near threatened (NT) – Not as good as least concern, but you shouldn't worry much

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Least concern (LC) – Don't worry at all, unless there is a meteorite, or volcano, or earthquake... then you might die

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Reproductive systems: Sexes allow for a larger diversity in a population and this leads to better adaptations. There are two types you can have—horizontal gene transfer and vertical.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">For vertical gene transfer, <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">You will then be able to do a second vote with NO modifiers applied to it and the following point breakdown: <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">1 Opposite of what was intended

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">2 Slightly worse than what was intended

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">3 No effect

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">4 No effect

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">5 As intended

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">6 Better than intended

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">For horizontal gene transfer: <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">You can choose an existing adaptation of another player and add it to yourself with the following rolls: <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">1 No effect <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">2 No effect <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">3 No effect <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">4 Success <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">5 Success <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">6 Success

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">You are not required to make a sex vote, but in a dire situation… Will you risk the odds? <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Also, you can have only one type of reproductive systems at the same time, and it takes one successful vote to switch between them.

<span style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;outline:0px;font-size:11.9999990463257px;font-weight:700;font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:14.399998664856px;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:0px0px;background-repeat:initial;">Round 0 <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">After millions of years, the planet has finally reached a state of equilibrium. The climate changes have become less severe, and although it still goes well below zero in the winter and far above 50 degrees Celsius in the summer, life is slowly but surely taking a grasp. Eruptions and earthquakes are still fairly common and cause death to thousands of species every few months. However, this has only increased the pace of evolution, as organisms less fit to survive are completely wiped from the face of the planet.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">The first and only species is  Protobactum Thrivum<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">, though this is surely only temporary. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:11.9999990463257px;line-height:14.399998664856px;">Protobactum Thrivum 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.

List of main cell parts (For those who don't know them)

Mitochondria- Generates energy for cell. Chloroplast- Converts water and carbon dioxide in oxygen and sugar. Found in plant cells. Flagellum and Cilia- Used for movement. Vacuole- Stores water and waste products and isolates materials that are harmful to cell.

Feel free to add your own cell traits. <ac_metadata title="Game of Evolution"> </ac_metadata>
