Nation Building Dawn of Life [Always open to ALL]

[Zetal]

Update: I have two exams tomorrow, so I won't be able to do the scheduled multi-vote today. Sorry everyone!

 

[AlphaDraco]

Will we still get regular vote for today?

Added one real quick, but I absolutely do need to get to work.

 

[AlphaDraco]

Okay thanks!

When you are smaller than everything else, what do you do? Become poisonous!

were gunna end up having an energy deficit again if we are not careful, we could simply have a stringer exo skelleton

 

[AlphaDraco]

Toxin is different from acid. Toxins are produced and held onto, and wont really degrade our membrane. Plus, we could start injecting toxins to kill larger prey, and if a target does eat is, they will get sick.

 

[SirDerpingtonIV]

Meaning no one will fuck with us.

ah! Thank you. changing vote!

Behavioral Choices (Combine any Six):
Improve Musculature


Develop more efficient energy generation (mitochondria pls)


Adaptation Choices (Any TWO):


Protect young Rizan


Hunt all prey


Hunt with other Rizan


Seek potential mates


Stay away from predators


Stay near sunlight

Mitochondria are a separate cell inside the other cell, like a parasite, if it didn't was actually good for you. (it's why removing all of the Mitochondria doesn't make the cell make new ones, and why they have different DNA from the host cell)

 

[Spacekitty]

I say we do what Alpha did, then next time increase brain power and eyesight

Mitochondria are responsible for making energy. If we have more energy, our cell can perform more work, which is an evolutionary adaptation.

 

[AlphaDraco]

Well, we have a surplus of energy right now, so we should be focused on developing advantages to use in this new and more dangerous environment.

Just to clear up any confusion, the Rizan are not currently eligible for "mitochondria"- as @ferociousfeind said, in real life, the mitochondria is essentially a bacterial cell that was absorbed by one of our ancestor cells.


I won't comment on how you guys could acquire something similar to a "mitochondria," but I will say that it is obviously within the realm of possibilities. Just like every other adaptation available to you all, however, it is your choice.

Ah, ok. Sorry 'bout that.

 

[Zetal]

Ah, ok. Sorry 'bout that.

No need to apologize! Now you know something you might not have already known, and I think that's awesome. There's lots of things that lot's of people don't know- what's important is the ability to learn.


By the by, if you're curious about mitochondria, I highly recommend this fascinating piece.

Alright, thanks. I've learned about how mitochondria were absorbed in science class a week ago, but I thought we could just grab one.

yeah you just buy them at Cells-R-Us

Kek.

Quick 5 min check in, I have 2 interviews today, so I could'nt update yesterday. Expect update tonight ad tomorrow

ok

Ok

If we develop spikes all over us, would that not slow us down? Right now, we should focus on speed and out maneuvering the larger creatures.

@Bobisdead123

we can increase speed latter. Lets kill our predators first
