Civilization 73,281.8: Yup, I'm back, But...

Post by Aegis J Hyena » Sun Jan 03, 2016 2:35 pm

For the past several years, I've done these kinds of civilization games here, but I decided to expand my branches outward a little bit. We're going to be doing another Spore-based "rise from the primordial soup" sort of thing, where we start with you guys suggesting mutations and the like. Mutations advances into more mutations which creates life in the oceans which advances into a land-dwelling creature eventually which evolves into sapience.

Whew, what a mouthful.

Anyway, instead of confining it to just here, I decided to take it a step further. What I WAS going to do, was take it to four forums at once (OOTS, Gunnerkrigg, GPF, and here), and the forumites of each forum suggest and build their own creature. Then the four creatures would go head to head to head to head on some continent vying for ownership of the realm, or perhaps ally with each other. I then decided "Okay, four forums would burn me out trying to keep the story straight and writing the same story from four points of view, so let's take it elsewhere, like a blog, and try to bring it to the masses as a whole instead."

And thus, http://riseoftheinternet.wix.com/oneszeroesandtwos was born.

The basic rules are on the first post of the blog, but you're going to want to follow @DrHervisJasper (my other handle for running this game) for updates. With enough votes, maybe you guys can create the goblins that Badge has so wanted to go back to a few times. I don't know. :)

There's a little giveaway going on right now. For those who follow and retweet @DrHervisJasper in the next 20 or so hours, they'll be put into a little raffle for a Steam giveaway, of a game $20 or less of their choice.

The game begins in 20 hours, and a post is already cued up. Anyone interested in trying to raise a race to sentience / sapience? :) If I have enough interest, I can post updates (with links) here every time I update.

And if you don't have a Twitter, get one. Holy crap, no one I know uses it! I'm very surprised!
