I'm back, after a long and unexcused absence.

Hello again all! For those who don't know or remember me (which is probably most of you), I am R136a1. I joined the forums several months ago, made a few posts, and then vanished. But I'm back now, and ready to contribute in any way that I can!

...So who wants to fill me in on what's been going on in here recently?

Hello! I'm Pyrotin, the new guy who's purpose seems to be making biomes. The Tech Editor system was decided upon, though just the bare bones. We have a couple more programmers now, and work on the Microbial stage is progressing. The Aware concept is being fleshed out, and we have figured out a combat system for pre-sapience (did we agree on it though...). One of the most useful things that you could do now would be to make some biomes. The list (and submission place) is here:

Welcome back! Mysteriously, I do remember you pretty well, even though I already don't know what was I doing 30 minutes ago.

Anyway, the best way to see what's set solid in stone is to look through the wiki and look for anything you don't remember from when you visited last time. Also, you should ask Scio if there's anything needed to do (most likely will be something about cell stage or biomes).

Keen's pretty much covered it, but if you know of anything you can do to help with the construction of the microbe stage (programming, modelling, anything) then that should be first priority. I'm working on some models, but my progress has been slow this week.

I'm really not experienced in anything which would directly help with the effort, like programming or modelling.

I'm also not very knowledgeable when it comes to biomes or ecosystems, but I'll try to help with that as best as I can.

Cell stuff I might marginally be able to contribute to, but not with much more than ideas or criticisms.

Looks like I'm not going to be of much help around here for quite a while

Well, neither am I. Just try to contribute to whatever you know, even if it doesn't have relevance to cells.

Hey, I'm running biomes between lectures. (I remember you too, but I'm better with names that have no faces attatched, surprisingly.)

Speaking of biomes, if you and pyrotin want to hand me another 20, I'll see what I can do about organizing our next system when I've found the thread I put the highly arids in again.
