Round 15:Event: 4
- Region Roll: 5 - Tectonic Activity
Explanation:
The "regional roll" determines the region where this regional event takes place. Lower rolls are where more players live, higher rolls are where less or no players live. In this case:
1, 2: Open Ocean
3, 4: North Pole
5, 6: Land
The supercontinent's mountainous heartland suddenly experiences a bout of earthquakes. The earth tears open into fissures splitting the northeast from the southwest, and rockslides decimate the mountainsides. Even the lowlands are exposed to the resulting dust clouds. Rifts that reach the coastline are quickly filled with seawater.
Unbeknownst to marine life, the supercontinent may not stay whole for much longer.

thrive.wikia.com/wiki/Game:_Bootleg_Thrive_Forum_Game_CompetitionPlayer SpeciesGravenis knytrium (TheGraveKnight)Circumstantial Pilus Loss: 4
Cells of
Gravenis knytrium now have the ability to consume and disassemble their own pili. However, this is only done when a cell senses that it is at the center of a colony, or if the flagellated side faces outward.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Gabrielus gabrielus (GabrielGG)Defensive Form of "Tooth" Cells: 6
Mobility Muscle Cells: 6
Once unspecialized cells at the exteriors of
Gabrielus gabrielus colonies now form a layer of minerals on their outer layer, using the same genes as the mechanical digestion cells use for "teeth." These mineral layers lock together, forming segments of shell armor that grow with age.
In gaps within the shell layer, muscle cells have allowed the mobility appendages to expand into microscopic tentacles, greatly increasing mobility.
Habitat: Ocean Surface, Coast
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Draconia encrypta (Immortal_Dragon)Binding Agents: 4
Photoreceptor: 5
Cells of
Draconia encrypta can now attach to one another, forming colonies as many other species have. In addition, they now exhibit a photosensory organelle.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Dynamicus respire (evolution4weαk)Fix Cilia: 6
Binding Agent: 4
Camouflage: 4
The defunct cilia of
D. respire have not only had their functions restored, but enhanced. In conjunction with the species's new ability to form colonies, aggregates are able to move quicker than other colonies of the
Dynamicus genus.
In other news, blue pigments manufactured by cells on the exterior of colonies makes
D. respire harder to detect through vision. These camouflage cells are separate from the usual photosynthesizing cells, and therefore prevent access to red light from being an issue.
Habitat: Ocean Surface, Coast
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Agentus non-failus (agenttine)Vertical Gene Transfer: 6
Cells of
Agentus non-failus are not only capable of transfer of genetic material within the species, they can also transmit nutrients in the same manner.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Specium fractium (soundwave)Vacuole: 3
Binding Agents: 3
Specium fractium has not changed.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Dynamicus failicus (Bigyihsuan)Binding Agents: 4
Membrane Defense Proteins: 2
A revised genetic sequence for the secretor-clogging agent means
Dynamicus failicus is capable of forming colonies.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Gravenis sparkus (shiny)Predatory Pilus: 1
Improved Signal Agents (from
D. failicus): 1
An error in the code of
Gravenis sparkus has led to a malformed cytoskeleton. Engulfing prey or detritus larger than bacteria is now impossible, although chloroplasts prevent this from becoming a crisis.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Dynamicus camelopard (Lanky Giraffe)Low Salinity Tolerance: 5
Binding agents: 4
Dynamicus camelopard has vacated the Western Sea, and is now capable of forming colonies.
Habitat: Open Ocean, Coast
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Draconia antecedere (RoboTranic)Remove Cytoskeletal Malformation: 6
Fin-Like Appendages (from
D. australis): 2
The jumbled cytoskeleton of
Draconia antecedere has been repositioned so that the tension faces outward instead of inward. Not only are pseudopods usable again, but they are now accompanied by small mineral serrations resembling the spikes of the long-extinct
Caeruleus photos. These serrations do not get in the way of colony formation, but work to kill prey too difficult to engulf (in this case, colonial D. showa cells) just fine.
Habitat: North Polar Ocean
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Dynamicus showa (hirohito)Mouth like apparatus: 5
Ocellus (Cup-Eye): 5
Dynamicus showa is now able to sustain its large colonies through a hole on what could be considered the colony's front side. This hole allows nutrients to reach what would otherwise be malnourished inner cells. The logistics crisis is over, although
D. showa is now troubled by the end of
Draconia antecedere's own crisis.
In other news, above this mouth opening is a pocket that focuses light into its center, where special cells determine the current light intensity.
Habitat: North Polar Ocean
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Draconia australis (aviscerator)Mechanical Digestion Cells: 5
Vertical Gene Transfer (from
D. failicus): 4
Cells at the front of
Draconia australis colonies now have mineral "spikes" that dismember prey items (even those on other colonies), making sustaining its own colony much more viable. In addition,
D. australis can now transfer genetic material between cells of its species.
Habitat: Open Ocean
Conservation Status: Least Concern

Note: With distinct northeast and southwest continents emerging, players that want to transition to freshwater will have to specify which side's estuaries they want to inhabit.
