I know, I know... I've been dead and gone for a good while now, and my own games have died, in no small part due to my own negligence due to IRL mess.
But.... I'd like to join.
I'll take a minor (and probably inconsistent) role here as a player one whatever team either:
A] Wants me
B] Needs me
C] Doesn't want me to ever leave them here alone
D] Pities a poor soul and decides to take them into the fold.
I can't promise a consistent voting timeframe, so don't ever hold the game for me, and I can almost guarantee that whatever team I join, my votes will be a bizarre mutator thrown into whatever orchestrating plans you may have... but I'll be fun.

Team ABNTT and (Effectively) Octotank both only have one member, so I'd recomend one of those two

Turn two
Bones and Eyes
Team Octotank
Votes-
Hydrostatic Skeleton, Auto 6
Changes: The Munr Hexapod evolved a simple skeleton, that supports its new shape. The structure is supported by the pressure of a simple organic fluid that also acts as a primitive open circulatory system. The organism is now a cylinder with three tentacles extending from either end. It currently uses them to swim randomly and then latch onto the ground when it is better fed. This strategy is primitive because it lacks any senses or intelligence.
Munr Hexapod - Munr Hexarmamini
Description: A Tube shaped organism that attaches to the sea floor and faces into the current to catch and eat random organic debris from dead algae and the like. Its body is supported by a hydrostatic skeleton that acts as a primitive open circulatory system. It has three tentacles on either end it uses to grab onto the ground and swim.
Team Any
Votes-
Feeling Tentacles, 2+2=4
Chemoreceptors, 2+2=4
Changes: The Drifter has somewhat evolved to better obtain food. It now has chemoreceptor cells on its skin layer that can guide it in the general direction of food. Once it finds an area with a dense smell it has simple tentacle limbs that flail though the water attempting to grab anything in the area and drag it in. It frequently grabs inorganic materials which it cannot consume and eventually build up and kill the Grabber.
Grabber- Munr Tero
Description: A fish shaped mass with a small flagella-like tail it uses like a primitive rudder. Its front has numerous small tentacles that flail about and grab anything they touch. This habit slowly poisons it over time.
Team ABNTT
Votes-
Photoreceptors, Auto 6
Changes: The Slime has evolved photoreceptors to sense light, allowing the slime to keep itself in the brightest areas of the sea, and avoided sitting under cover.
Speckled Slime- Munr Maculosus
Description: A green slimy mass that can be found in the shallows of the Munr Sea. It is covered in small blackspots that it uses to detect light and move towards brighter areas.

Team ABNTT
Instead of just taking the chlorophyl from outside, the slime now produces them itself.
Your everyday cube of molten rock. Also, look, a baby dragon.

Evolve a digestive system, which would excrete the inedible materials.

On second thought, I think I'll wait until we get to a more advanced stage. I like these games, but such protoplasmic life evolution is less my cup of tea. I'll keep an eye on this though, for sure!

Hey, welcome back

. Good to hear from you again.
Thanks! I'll take that as an unofficial invitation to join team Octotank...
Like I said, I'll beholding off for now, but being officially on a team means I can quickly jump in at will and start voting!
Hope y'all have fun!
