Welcome to Project Evolution. Origional name, huh B-). This project is similar to Sagan IV, but, the organization of evoltionary steps will be different: Instead of generations and weeks there will be ages and periods. Every age several species are created, depending on how the old species would have adapted, then it jumps ahead several million years to the next age, where species are again evolved. Every so many ages (no real set number) will be periods, which are organized by major geological/evolutionary events, like mass extinctions, the birth of multicellular life, ice ages etc. At the beginning of every age, there will be a council of the members to determine what needs to be done during that age. These councils will last throughout the entire age, but will be mostly active towards the beginning. If this system doesn't make sense, just say so and I can explain it differently.

Since this project is new, and I want it to be entirely user-created, the specifics are to be discussed by members below. (i.e. planet temp, distance from sun, starting lifeforms, planet size, composition, etc. etc. etc.)

First off, we need to determine the planetary specifics. Size, distance from sun, and chemical composition are all we need to worry about for now.

Oh, and by the way, just because I am the founder of the project does not mean that I am the smartest and most ultimately knoweldgable person in the project. HOWEVER, we don't want this to turn out as just another crappy rip-off of Sagan IV. This project needs to make alot more sense. If you look through the evolutionary trees of Sagan IV, almost all of the different genuses are different kingdoms, this cannot happen. Multicellular life is not that frequent!!! That's the biggest problem with Sagan IV, the rest of it is pretty great. But Project Evo needs to be greater.

Maybe we should start with something simple, like basically earth-like?

Yeah, but basically the same sort of structure and atmosphere.

How about an earth like planet covered with swamps and rainforests, like in the carboniforous.

I was thinking it would be earth-like in composition, size, and distance from sun, but would start out with all of the water either underground or still not there, but to be arriving by meteors. I also was thinking that life could begin ther from a massive icy meteor with spores of bacteria in it. There would probably be about 4 species (one for each current member to design): one photosynthetic, one second level consumer, one parasite, and one chemosynthetic. Of course, I'm open to any other ideas.

well i say we go where not to many other projects have gone. right down to when its just some dna with a bubble around it. or we dont do that but go with silcon based life.
