Fortune: Evolution Game
Fortune: Evolution Game is an ongoing series of evolution game quest threads, with the titular planet of Fortune as their setting. It was begun April 30th, 2012 by a namefag calling themselves FortuneHost, and proved popular enough for multiple sequels.
Rules & Guidelines
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.
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 witheld (though so far all rolls have been 1d10s).
