There is no scientific standpoint here.

But once the egg is successfully fertilized, doesn't it, at any stage of development then and thereafter, classify as an organism with unique genetic code?

Kesakh sits down calmly on a fallen log a few meters away and waits.

Heshimun creates a fishing spear by sharpening a long branch with his knife.

Hocef wakes up. She'll cut wood later. She heads out of the cave and decides to head into the woods straight from the cave. She needs to find something to eat and drink.

Hocef heads down through the forest and finds a number of tegacha and shendama berries, avoiding the atii berries.  They're not enough for a meal, but surely enough for a snack.  She looks around for a moment to remember where she was, and then walks forward to find a swamp.  The water here is dirty, though.  That's unfortunate.

As she looks up, she sees a number of trees with small, pink flowers on them.  Perhaps fruit or nuts will grow here some day.

At what point do they become a human in the terms of actually being able to feel, think, etc

I'd say an independent heartbeat and a brainwave.

Loec and Faraji travel southward, and arrive at the edge of a swamp.  There is a lot of qashwan cane along the river.  They suddenly hear the sounds of a number of Bolgil, young and old in the form of grunts and squeals and the sounds of digging and logs turning over.  Must be looking for mushrooms.

Hmm. Should you just not be able to use /D while in a minigame with building disabled?

Yes, and perhaps have a pref to clear duplicator ghost bricks when building is disabled?

You'll have to explain that more detailed

He's saying that bricks in the minigame when blown up will not be fakekilled if brick damage is off, but anything duplicated with this duplicator will still be fakekilled in spite of brick damage being disabled, as long as the duplications are planted during the minigame.

Blatsa, having slain his second beast, excitedly begins to skin it, taking his time to scrape innards away from the skin, and carefully remove the tusks, bones, and good pieces of meat.

With that all said and done, Blatsa begins to gather up tinder for lunch.  He sets it in a neat pile, arranging it into a fire pit.  He then searches for a suitable stone, and lights the fire.  He then begins cooking meat.  In celebration of his second victory, he cooks every piece that he can.

Blatsa does all this and finds a good size stone, As he is only able to find branches, he is afraid that he will not be able to cook all of the meat, or cook it thoroughly.  He lights a pilot fire regardless, though.

He, however, is able to glean four large-sized cuts from the bolgil, and four medium-sized wooly skins.  In addition, he also has two more tusks and three intestines (although they have yet to be cleaned).  When this process is done, it is about three in the afternoon.


Veshikk and Öln begin to cut away at the dagu, and gain 2 small cuts of meat, two medium hides (just hairy, not really wooly), the bladder, and the stomach.  Additionally, they get 1 intestine.  Bones also might be chosen from the carcass should they choose.


Also experimenting with organizing stats into an image.  I don't have all the pictures uploaded because I was in a rush, nor have I explored the quality capabilities for resolution.  Y/N?

Kesakh appears behind Heshimun, wondering why he has been idling the lake's edge for hours.  He roosters his head slightly to the side and asks, "Are you quite alright, sir?. Heshimun turns around to see a shorter man standing with many cloaks behind him, an eagle hood that covers his eyes, and holding a staff with beads, bones, and a dagu skull on the tip of it.

« on: November 30, 2015, 02:34:20 AM »

cuckoo.dll

Named after the parasitic bid that kills other birds and steals their nest, the file houses itself in some of the computer's deepest recesses, tampering with the memory-writing function.  It hides itself by allowing files to write correctly, but also writes its own methods to spread its assets in unused space by creating fake cuckoos and moving its own location to other parts of the computer ever few minutes.  As it does this, it changes its algorithm by cuckoo's remote destinations.  After it has masked itself within the computer well enough, it detects which antivirus is being used and copies the data from its program and sends the information back to a cuckoo master server.  The server, which has detected the point at which the original cuckoo began operating, and has received bits of data updating this algorithm locally, then takes in the data collected about the antivirus and runs tests trying to decrypt the program on its own system, using the detection of several syntax languages to detect which is the proper language and to detect what lines in the code protect the local antivirus from being attacked.  Once it finds this, it saves the decryption key on the master server and distributes it to every computer running cuckoo with that security system.  It then subtly replaces the antivirus with the modified version that makes cuckoo invulnerable to attack.  The virus then gathers private information and sends it back to the master server.  Additionally, this whole time, it makes efforts discreetly to propagate itself further.

Veshikk moves as slowly and silently as possible, getting into a position on the right side of the tree to spring out with his new spear as soon as they get within range.

Öln carefully starts walking towards the pack, and he makes sure to avoid stepping on anything that might rustle or snap. He also, of course, stays within the treeline.

The group of dagu come within 6 meters of Veshikk before looking up at the trees, distracted as a murder of crows suddenly takes off.  Veshikk seizes the opportunity and throws the spear at the nearest dagu, the middle-sized one of the group, causing it to stick firmly in the animal's rear thigh.  The other dagu are surprised and after some scrambling, take off through the underbrush.  The injured dagu attempts to limp off, crying out in pain.

Veshikk jumps forward, trying to seize the opportunity to restrain the animal.  As he is not able to get to his knife in time, Veshikk throws himself upon the animal, managing to wrangle it to some degree of success.  Suddenly, Öln comes in from behind in a full sprint, yelling "Hold it down!"  As Veshikk keeps it restrained, Öln takes out his axe and swings quickly for the neck just below the head, taking it clean off with one swing.

The body of the dagu goes limp and Veshikk collapses on it, very mush taken aback by the sudden violent and charitable act taken by a random stranger.

«Veshikk has leveled up!  Fighting: LVL 4.»
«Öln has leveled up!  Fighting: LVL 3.»

Blatsa sets his things down, drawing his knife and standing with his knees bent, ready for the Bolgil to charge.  He would sidestep the Bolgil as it came near enough to him, and attempt to slash the Bolgil down his side to his hind leg as it passed.

As the Bolgil charges, Blatsa stands perfectly still until the bolgil is about four meters away.  He suddenly moves out of the way to the right and slashes the bolgil in the side.  The bolgil, although injured, makes a full turn after continuing through with his charge.  As Blatsa turns around to face the bolgil, it winces in pain, squealing loudly briefly before charging again.  Blatsa again sidesteps the bolgil, this time to the left, and cuts a deep gash in the animal, causing it to fall and slide in the dirt.  Blatsa then siezes the opportunity to slit the animal's neck, killing it in the same fashion as the one before.

«Blatsa has leveled up!  Fighting: LVL 7.»

Shortly after downing the dagu, and being only a half mile or so away, Veshikk and Öln hear the squeals of the bolgil resound through the trees, and are able to discern that the creature died with feelings of rage and anguish.


In other news, Faraji and Loec respawn at the location where they were before stasis.  Feel free to RP this strange occurrence out if you like.

Veshikk works quickly and quietly. He seizes the sturdiest looking branch and whittles any limbs on it down as much as possible, proceeding to sharpen one end to a point.

Veshikk creates a crude spear.  The dagu begin to depart, coming in his direction, though slightly to his right, still oblivious.

Öln shaves the rough outer bark off the logs using the head of his axe, and then cuts off the soft inner bark. He then eats a bit of it, before rolling it up and embarking south. He then heads south with his new found food... rolls.

On nom nom.

As Öln heads south, he finds that the land rises to his right.  As he follows this ridge, he sees a man crouching behind a tree, eying a small group of dagu heading back into the forest.

After his coat is finished and he wears it comfortably, he ties twine around the two tusks he took from the Bolgil and wears them around his neck, straightening up with pride as he adorns his trophies.  He gathers up his belongings, using the one skin he had left to wrap them up and carry them over his shoulder.  He headed back down to the water after knocking over his shelter and took a drink, before heading up north, across the grassy plain and toward the thick forest some way ahead of him.

As Blatsa enters the thicker forest, he is confronted by a lone male Bolgil, this one smaller than the one before.  It lows its head to the ground and starts to scrape its feet in the mud.
