Evolution games?

>>48387236
Saw one not terribly long ago. We're talking months here, mind.

Try starting one up and see what comes of it.

>>48387276

I have one going on over at voat. I may bring it here if no one will give it any love over there.

It's on the /evol/ board if you're interested.

Maybe/qst/ would be better for this.

i've been running one for 16 years now. it started as tabletop and now it's straight to smartphone. i just send a text every week saying that nothing has changed, but the game should really pick up in a few million years

>>48387236
what are the rules ? do we just add to the picture, roll for something or what?

>>48387892

Just take a picture and edit it. Then someone takes that pic and edits it too. This goes on and on until the resulting creature is totally different.

bumping an old thread because i also miss evo games here
>>48387588
/qst/ was a mistake. The entire concept of it makes it so everything on there is so oversaturated nothing actually stands out and is enjoyable. Plus maybe it's kind of stuck up of me to think, but it being open to 'whoever' and not just people used to that sort of thing as their hobby, really REALLY seems to bog down the quality of it all.

Besides, evolution games are games, not quests. They fit better on /tg/

can we still make EVO-games on /tg/?
I got a game ready but no one plays evo games on /qst/ anymore

>>48392070
As far as i know its still a trial board
So its not fully enforced.
But it depends on the mod if he wants to move it or not, i guess.

>>48392240
I'll take that as a yes >>48392312

There was a burst of them on /qst/, but they died quickly. Could have been from how they were run. Could have been lack on interest from the audience there. Could have been the over-saturation from 3+ at a time.

>>48392070

I hate the mentality that no games like this are allowed on /tg/. The began here and people loved them.

I'd prefer to have a decent evolution game running here again, and I see quests popping up on this board every now and then. If you want to run it here, I think it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, that one fell off of page 10 by itself.

If anybody wants, I can dump the Ezfrous part 2 starters in this thread.

>>48396880

Sure. I'll pick up where I can.

Alright. Time to dig out that stuff.
-------------------
Ezfrouz Evo 2: Electric Boogaloo

We start in the early oceans of the second rock orbiting an orange sun. A world called Ezfrous,

To those unfamiliar with these sorts of threads, the rules are quite simple.
1) Evolve a creature by modifying its picture and giving a plausible reason. Please save as a .PNG file only. Only you can prevent jpeg artifacts.
2) Only one modifications may be made per edit.
3) Like in Fortune, color changes are an exception to the above rule, as long as you explain it sensibly.
4) Update the generation number on the image while making your edit.
5) Anyone can edit any creature. Two diffrent posts changing the same creature result in two different species.
6) Follow the rules of the sticky.

========================

Kicking this off, we have the lumeddus, two species of faintly glowing jellyfish.

The finned lumeddu is a filter feeder. It captures algae and plankton with its sticky, branched tentacles. The two fin-like tentacles don't function for feeding, only assisting in locomotion.

The poison lumeddu is a carnivore. They swim aimlessly until brushing against possible prey, catching it in their venomous tentacles. The ring of lumps around their bodies are poison glands.

Next up are the flowery-looking polyps, known collectively as rockblooms.

Baandins are the predators of the sea floor. They scoot around with their lower tentacles. When they brush up against something, they'll grab it with the tentacles surrounding their mouths.

The gleddu is another filter feeder. This species adheres to rocky surfaces and uses its tentacles to draw particles into its mouth.

>>48397222
Now we have the sutoak. This soft-bodied invertibrate is a bottom feeder. Situated in the middle of its seven tentacles is a mouth adapted for scraping scum off of the sea floor.

Just like their ancestors, toapkes, they have blue copper-based blood and their reproductive organs in their mouths.

>>48397244
And now for two distant relatives of the Sutoak.


First, the gratke. This species is an herbivore. They have primitive eyes tipping 4 of thier tentacles and running along their sides. Along all 5, mostly on the bottom, are scent receptors. It has thick skin on the top of its body as a minor defense against poison lumeddu stings.


And then we have the spiny toapke. Burrowing detritivores with keratin spines to help propell them through the ground.

>>48397255
And now for the plants. Some things which most of them have in common: They grow as tubes of thin tissue with a yellow photosynthetic pigment not native to our planet. They all have structures that are not quite true roots to keep them anchored to the sea floor. What hold them upright are trapped bubbles of gas.

Speckled Sucdo grow in segments. When one breaks off, it begins growing as a new plant. They are most common near the shorelines of Ezfrous's coasts.

Spiral Sucdos are the most rigid of current plantlife, with veins to transport nutrients throught the plant. They develop seeds in the top of the tube. They are dispursed when the plant is ruptured from strong currents, building up too much gas bubble internally, or herbivore activity.

Moving on, we have grendos. Unlike other plants, they have a green pigmentation. Their base has formed a sort of bulb, where it stores starches and nutrients. Like the spiral sucdo, they too dispurse seeds upon their leaves being ruptured.


And lastly, the blisterwort, not to be confused by a fictisious mushroom of the same name. Closely related to grendos they have a bulb and multiple tube leaves. Unlike them, their tubes branch off, and develop their namesake blisters. Instead of the whole leaf, only the blisters burst open to dispurse their seeds.
--------------------------------
If anything goes to abyssal depths, they'll be saved as new starters for a later time.

so, yeah. those are the ezfrous part 2 starters. I'm going to sleep now.

>It's a mistake to have boards for specific interests because then those interests aren't special and snowflakey anymore

This is the shittiest reasoning I have ever heard in my entire life.

what the hell is a evolution game

>>48400969

Read the thread, homie.

>>48400969
Basically OP provides images of a few simple organisms. Anons make a post adding some evolved changes too a creature and editing the image as appropriate each time. As the thread progesses a whole ecosystem builds up.

Somestimes op will occasionally chime in with big "events" like say an iceage to stur things up.

Two of the tentacles of the baandin become elongated, and their body changes color, disguising them as a grendo plant.

>>48401793

What the fuck? Story?

>>48401851
The theme was that the world had crystals that activated every few hundreds of millions of years, each color of crystal causing a cataclysmic event. Turning surrounding earth into tar, filling the surrounding water with toxins, creating a freezing field and a blistering hot field, etcetera.

Issues arose when too many of these crystals existed at the same time, basically making every patch of the planet unlivable. Then people started yelling accusations that this creature should be extinct or that creature should be extinct, leading to the whole thing falling apart.

In that image, you've got the walking communal fungus men with friendship sores and then that big ugly thing is a giant flying mouth, that contained its children in its mouth. Some of those children had children in their mouths, etc. Basically every one of them was a gigantic winged colony of teeth.

There's one running in this very thread, starting here >>48397212, as well as what >>48410737 linked.

>>48397275
Spiral sucdo develop more leaves. From this, they better survive after rupturing. Oddly, the new leaves form inside of the older ones. Think nesting dolls.

>>48410737
You're right, people should go into that thread.

I should have drawn longer. too late now. Creepy-looking thing.
