the competiton were better if it were to split into teams, eg a team of maybe 50 per creature in one thread... think of forum mafia style, or that tl chess game
those other forums fail @ popularity

Thats a pretty cool idea. I might have to steal that.

When is it going to be updated? Also when are the others going to be updated? They seem stagnant

Why does our monster look like it will stomp the shit out of all the other monsters?

Yeah, the other threads have like 4 pages a piece to our 80. Expanding on his idea a bit, for the next game, you could have a mafia-like sign up thread. Then divide it into teams with different blobs.

The thread could have a visual progression of all the creatures (or maybe just a shadow, since as nasty as our guy looks, one could probably glean that he has quite a few points in intelligence) but keep the hard stats hidden. The actual thread could be used for battles and taunting or whatever, but the bulk of the actual decision making process would take place in PMs to you with the team's choices. However each team wanted to come up to a consensus would be up to them, they'd just have to elect someone to let you know what we evolved/did in combat.

Don't know how far you had planned to take this game, but you could even expand on the exploration bit by creating a generic grid map with spawn points for all the creatures, and points of interest. Predetermined before hand, of course. Then when the creature chooses to explore, they choose which direction to move in, and either find nothing or interact with whatever event was there.

They could run into other creatures, in which they'd be given the choice to mate, fight, etc (with the creature entering the square getting an attack advantage unless the other creature decided to make their position defensible/set up an ambush. And if both moved into the same square on the same turn, they'd be on even ground.) Or if there were predetermined events, like NPC creatures, items/upgrades to be found, or whatever.

Of course, you'd have to decide how large to make the grid and how many events you want places, depending on the amount of creatures; you don't necessarily want people to hit something every square, but at the same time you don't want the grid to be so big that you have nothing to interact with.
