Game: Thrive Rules of Nature Competition

The Thrive Rules of Nature Competition is a derivative of the Official Thrive Forum Game Competition with a modified set of rules.

Description
The game takes place on a currently unnamed planet. The planet has a single supercontinent surrounded by a global ocean.

Rules
Rather than have a player's performance be determined by the success and failure of mutations, all mutations succeed. Instead, every species has simple statistics granted by their mutations. Competition and predation between species with varying stat advantages determines their conservation status.

Synopsis
The game began shortly after the emergence of the first bilaterally-symmetric animal with specialized tissues, Thrivittifera sciocontensis. In addition to unnamed single-celled organisms, this animal was accompanied by a multicellular alga, Chlorogyra filamentosa.

On Round 6, a plate boundary between the supercontinent and the global ocean collapsed, turning the sea and atmosphere acidic.

On Round 12, heavy volcanism took place at the center of the supercontinent. This released a massive plume of smoke, blocking out the sun for years.
