It's not THAT bad of a way to go. Plus, we can fly so we can mate with them one at a time, they won't be able to catch us.


Scroll up a few posts, Coagulation just posted showing that they can in fact catch us.


Oh man that's actually pretty scary. Ok I think the trick here is to stay in the air then mate with any who manage to reach us.


Precisely.

A some people seem to question the idea of mating but I would like to explain why it is actualy the best choice


Here are the options:
run:
What is there to gain, and these creatures are minions of another forum creature so they should be weaker than our primary creature. It is also the waste of another turn and we have already wasted 2 turns on explore and attack. This is only viable if we though the opponent was over powering but that doesn't make much since since we are more evolved compared to the others until they catch up
attack (108)
We have already tried this, it was not affective, we don't want to waste another turn attacking when it may also be infective.
defend (36)
Why would we defend when it would be better to kill this creature. The way combat has been explained is that defending blocks attacks and attacks costs limbs. It seems that if we defend the best we can hope for is to block an attack and hope he gets board and wanders off. If it keeps attacking there is we eventually will need to stop defending and attack to end the threat. I can't see any reason to ever use this option since it just wastes a turn
mate (429)
If it works we gain more power and the monster is defeated. The only other sensible option would be to eat it but that wasn't a choice here.

Lastly our 10 days no rush is suppose to still be in place so we aren't suppose to get stomped until after that.

If mating fails, we lose a limb, and gain nothing in return.

I heartily agree with your analysis. Let me also add:
Run: Boring, lame, what someone with no spine would do. Totally not us, we are super ballers.
Attack Fight: Super baller, I would always recommend this move, but it doesn't seem to be working right now.
Bag Defend: I don't think we've fallen to this last-resort style option yet. I'd rather hold this in reserve.
PKMN MATE: Now THIS is what i'm TALKING about. There's no way this could end poorly and every way it could end awesomely.

But if we attack again there is nothing stopping us from losing a limb as well.
If we Defend then we block if it attacks and now what? do we defend again, at some point we have to stop defending to escape the situation?? That leaves run, as I mentioned we end up wasting 3 development turns and gaining nothing to show for it. I would rather take the risk.

Indeed. As they say, you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain, so I think we should take the plunge (so to speak) and try to mate here. It's a little risky, but it's the only course of action that has a chance of gaining us anything this turn.

We have intelligence, so will probably use a more effective attack next time.

Yup. That's what I told my 4th wife

Oh man so basically all this mating is gonna turn out SUPER SUPER awesome or possibly SUPER SUPER bad.

Acknowledge subjectivity, please.

As I see it, if we keep attacking, the creatures will split into smaller and smaller bits, until we'll be able to eat them one by one as snacks (though, if they're infectious, that probably wouldn't be a good idea), or just stomp over them.

Mating? We pissed them off, they're not going to mate with us unless the laser-psi-beams impresses a ton.
