Editing Fortune: Evolution Game (section)

=== Rules ===
Fortune:Evolution Game is ''very'' rules-light, bordering on [[freeform]].

The game involves "evolving" various species of plants or animals. There is no win condition, so to speak, the goal is to "create an interesting setting" as the namefag "nongent" put it in the first thread.
 
Various organisms are presented for the players in the form of images. The players can then change those organisms by editing the image and then posting it. A player can do one of two things with their new edited image. It can be posted as an evolution of the previous creature, meaning that the previous creature is now replaced by the new one; alternatively, the player can designate their new image as a newly emerged subspecies of the previous image, meaning the creatures in both images are now present on the world. This is called a ''split'' or a ''branch-off''.

Once the edited image containing the creature is posted, it then becomes part of the developing "canon" of the game, and other players can edit and evolve it too. At various, arbitrary times, the GM will respond with results of the adaptation, as well as introducing random effects in the world in the interest of "shaking things up". Note that, sometimes, players will include cause/effect and results in their posts. So far, FortuneHost does not seem to mind, and if well written, sometimes even encourages it.

FortuneHost has said that there is a system in place to determine the result of the rare roll, whatever it is, though, has so far been withheld (though so far all rolls have been 1d10s).
