The State of the Simulation

EricL:
Yup.  Spinner 1.5 has made the snake extinct in EricL2 and it's on it's way out in EricL.  Nicely done.

The snake is dead.  Long live the snake!

Moonfisher:
It looks like Spinner never fully eradicated Seasnake 1.2, I still see about 100 of them left.
It also looks like Seasnake 1.3 is advancing slowly but surely, it was at 30 when I got on and it's over 100 now...
It's not certain that it will push back spinner, but it looks like that's what happening.
So it looks like spinners reign won't last much longer, was nice while it lasted

Testlund:
Sorry for getting longwinded about my costs but Sea Snake 1.2 seems to have evolved to handle a small amount of my morphological costs. It was swimming
around and feeding for awhile with CostX at 1.12024. Then later they were all gone. I think the reason for that is my bots are spread out a lot, so they couldn't keep getting enough food in the long run.
They don't appear to be snakes any longer though, more like single bots that follow each other and on occation form ties to it. Also they tend to shoot info shots into alga causing the alga to swim away from them. Not so smart I think.
I just came back to check on my sim this evening and I have several colonies of Alga Antiviral here and there.
Now my costX has started to increase again (4.9 and counting), so only conservative bots will survive now.
You may wonder why I'm not getting bored with such a sim, but I find it kind of exciting to see what ever evolves. It doesn't have to be aggressive hunters for me to like it, but it would be nice if I could at least get a tie feeder. Sigh.
There was this sleep scientist once that said that "the meaning of life is to sleep. There's no point in running around and burn a lot of energy". That's how all life more or less behave on the planet; not to burn more energy than absolutely needed, because life is costly. Waste too much energy and you die. The more costly the environment the more conservative you need to be. That's why the Grizzly bear sleeps half the year, and the other half it constantly eats so it can sleep again. Sleeping, eating and reproducing is what life is about.  

Numsgil:
My three favorite things

Testlund:
I thought you programmers didn't have time with any of that.
