| it's a half-complete subgame. everybody can create some custom creatures and see how they spread and survive in the galaxy. not very interesting really, but admins have some plans with the creature game i believe. |

does the system recycle the names after some point?
because if not, then how can the same name be used again?
-----------------
the creature lab is a fun side game, it lets you create the creatures that inhabit all the planets in ST

i haven't found any perfect creature setup, just mess around and see what you come up with, my first creature the spotted ant is all over the universe. i bet if you check your planet's biosphere report you'll see it.

not to mention you love to abuse the evo bug associated with the creature lab... sooo did you do it again? By the way... I did write down when you evo'd along with several others... and you will be watched as Admin never really did say if that was fixed or not yet... also... how's the loosing battles going with the CGC... haha  |

| @ ADMIN would there be a way to make a search engine for creatures (you put in a creature name and if it exists it gives you the stats and who made it?) i think it would add to the creature lab if you knew who you were competing with. also it would show you what not to do (looking up stats of creatures that are just prey for other creatures in the systems but never do anything). just an idea |

lilly do you have to but in everywhere, if you are not playing, go find something to do. no one asked for your un-needed input into this subject. if you cant learn to get along with others then stay away. no-one was bothering anyone, we are getting along fine. if you want to keep a little notebook on what i do, that is your choice, just be sure to add that on this date we are not in need of your interjections, and in the future we will not be in need of them either.
and for the 50 millionth time, lilly, look before you leap..... it is stated in that thread that you so highly reguard and keep alive, that the bug was fixed.
and i shall also again ask, why do you so care of what the psd do, the "lowest" alliance? i truly do not understand your need to know all about my spores and their hallucinating effect, altho the glowing blue psylociboid mushroom spores are entrancing they can leave a bitter taste in your mouth, but for the full psychotropic effect, remember "don't spit, swallow"

no points, just someting else to do. and basically it is like life, everything eats something else, be it plant or animal.

| when you check the box that says "release into universe" and then hit "submit query" it should say either "your creature has been successfully released" or "you can only release one creature per day" or something like that. also, go to one of your planets and hit "full biosphere report" then use the find feature of the computer (command + f for a mac, control + f for a pc) and search for the name of your creature. even if it hasn't "arisen" it will probably be food for something else. |
