If the proposal “What the GNDT is for” passes, this proposal does nothing.

Rewrite the first two paragraphs of “Evolution” to say as follows:

There exists a wiki page entitled The Creature Page which contains information about lifeforms. Each lifeform is given one section on “The Creature Page” titled by the name of the lifeform.

This section should contain the following information:

The Lifeform’s Creature Name, Health, Attack, Defense, Speed, and Brains.

For each evolutionary variable, the name of said variable, the creatures level in said variable, and the creatures evolutionary upgrades in said variable.

Add a subrule to “Evolution” called “Evolutionary Statistics”

Each lifeform has a number of associated evolutionary statistics.

Statistics are as follows:

Creature Name: This represents the lifeform and sets it apart from the rest of the creatures. A lifeform may often change eir creature name provided no other lifeform current has the creature name e wishes to change eir name to.

Attack: This represents the attack power of the lifeform.
Defense: This represents the defense of the lifeform.
Speed: This represents the speed of the lifeform.
Brains: This represents how smart the lifeform is.

Attack, defense, speed and brains are integer values (potentially negative) and cannot be increased except when stated by the rules.

Add the following subrule to “Evolution” called “Evolutionary Upgrades”

Each evolutionary variable has a number of possible evolutionary upgrades associated with it.

Each lifeform may have up to N evolutionary upgrades for each evolutionary variable, where N is the level of the respective evolutionary variable. (Thus if he has Appendages 3, e can have up to three appendages).

A lifeform may, at any time, add an evolutionary upgrade to eir section of the creature page provided the above statement holds true. A lifeform may, however, never remove an evolutionary upgrade from eir section of the creature page. A lifeform may have the same evolutionary upgrade more than once, except for the case of unique abilities where e may only have one of each upgrade.

The possible evolutionary upgrades are as follows:

Brain Size:
Hunter Mentality: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Attack and +1 to the Lifeform’s Brains
Defence Mentality: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Defense and +1 to the Lifeform’s Brains
Genius Upgrade: Adds +2 to the Lifeform’s Brains

Facial Features:
Sharp Teeth: Adds +2 to the Lifeform’s Attack
Large Ears: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Brains and +1 to the Lifeform’s Defense
Big Forehead: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Attack and +1 to the Lifeform’s Brains

Body Mass:
Tough Skin: Adds +2 to the Lifeform’s Defense
Sleek Skin: Adds +2 to the Lifeform’s Speed
Standard Skin: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Defense and +1 to the Lifeform’s Speed

Appendages:
Quick Feet: Adds +2 to the Lifeform’s Speed
Sharp Claws: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Attack and +1 to the Lifeform’s Defense.
Large Hoofs: Adds +1 to the Lifeform’s Attack and +1 to the Lifeform’s Speed.

Unique Abilities:
Economic Sense: Increases the weekly interest earned by the lifeform by .05%.
Fast Fingers: Allows the the lifeform to have one extra pending proposal.
Rapid Change: Allows the lifeform to evolve twice per day instead of once.

I would except more of these to be added later. Unique Abilities clearly needs more. But I didn’t want to strain my brain too much.
