So, in an effort to save TheCreator from his fan base (myself included), I will host a second thread of the same premise found in the Official Thrive Forum Game Competition. This thread will host six players. I would normally direct you to the evogames forum, but it seems to have floundered a bit lately. I would like to thank TheCreator for making this thread possible, and apologize to all five of the unfortunate people who are about to be subjected to my reign of dice-rolling terror.

The rules are the same as found in TheCreator's thread. You will request a mutation, I will roll the uncaring dice of fate, you will thrive or you will go extinct. [previously, this thread contained gratuitous sarcasm and self-degradation. It has been edited to fit this screen format and to be acceptable to all viewing audiences by the same moderator who inflicted it upon the community in the first place]
Survival Statuses: LC - Least Concern NT - Near Threatened VU - Vulnerable EN - Endangered CR - Critically Endangered EX - Extinct
The Normal Dice Rules: 1- opposite of request 2- slightly deleterious 3- no effect 4- it does slightly less than the request 5- exactly as asked for 6- somewhat better than request 7- super duper mega evolution of destiny
Reproduction Votes: Vertical: 1- opposite of request 2- slightly deleterious 3- no effect 4- no effect 5- as requested 6- better than requested
Horizontal: 1- no effect 2- no effect 3- no effect 4- success 5- success 6- success
Toxin System: Every toxin mutation will be rolled for as expected. This roll will add to the toxin's value, i.e. if I create Toxin X and roll a 5, then Toxin X has a power level of 5. If I then roll a 4, it will have a level of 9. Resistance works the same way, and must be of equal or greater value to work.
Starting Condition: A eukaryotic cell, outfitted with endoplasmic reticulum, a nucleus, a golgi aparatus, I suppose I'll give you a complete cytoskeleton, and I'll allow you to partake in homeostasis. The beginning environment will be a hydrothermal vent community.
Edit: No +2's, I'm trying to stay accurate to the main formula. I realize that I can technically take this any direction desired, but I feel kind of bad for ripping the idea, and wouldn't want to alter it too much.
Edit 2.0: Super mutations will be at 7, instead of 8 since +2's are not available. Also, disasters will have a chance to happen every five turns, and there will be no positive events. Because I'm a random number themed supervillain.
Edit 3.0: Death can be resolved by either starting a new cell or clading off of someone else.

Thanks @the_wayward_admrial for hosting and TheCreator for allowing us to "ripoff". I guess I'll start how they all do, Mitochondria. Are we doing plus 2?

You would think I would know how to move a quote across threads but alas, I am incompetent. So really, all I can say is that checking the rules laid out by TheCreator in his first post on the OTFGC will give you the ruleset I'll use (minus the +2 of course).

Nice! Keep in mind that my own game was ripped off from Tyroa Competition (on another forum) with a few rule changes. Also, it might be fun to assume that all of this is happening on the same planet, just in different spots, so that our species could eventually interact.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.

RoboTrannic you sure can! Just name the mutation you want, and we'll start when three other people show up. @unknown you did spell it right.

Round 0: Following almost 1.6 billion years of turmoil, the planet on which our drama will unfold is beginning to calm. From the dense primordial soup, RNA molecules have condensed and long ago gave rise to DNA. This DNA became enfolded in a phospholipid bilayer, giving rise to the first prokaryotic organisms. Those of the prokaryotes that formed Endomembrane systems gave rise to the current domain of eukaryotes. Cyanobacteria have produced a global atmosphere of oxygen, opening the door for aerobic activity in free living mitochondria-like organisms.
To this stage comes the eukaryote Extraneae admiralensis, brimming with evolutionary potential.
(In two days, I will start with whatever players we have, even of that number is not six. If we have less than six, someone can clade off of an existing species. Also, see edit to the rules above.)
