[X] The fins of the animal are slightly more rigid and flexible then other Cavatiba. This allows for a wriggling motion that can displace greater amounts of sentiment. The rigidity and flexibility of the fins also allows for the possibility of mating displays. With the increased durability that the increase of rigidity and flexibility provides to the fins, these limbs now carry the potential to aid in turning at higher speeds.

Success!
One last roll to make. Roll me 2d6 to find out how the world has changed since our last generation, and we'll get going on Generation 2.

There is no thread-marking.
This is mildly upsetting.

Mind providing a context for that statement? Sketch can only fix an oversight if you let him know where it's located.

Uh, don't you know what threadmarks are?

There is no threadmarks, for any of the story posts.
On any of the posts.
I understand he's been watching Terminator everyday since the first, but come on, OS. You're better than this

Yes poppet, but MrGazzer failed to be specific. This most recent post? A number of story posts? All of them? Without indication of which is missing threadmarks, complaining isn't super useful.
See, there you go.

This quest doesn't have any threadmarks at all. Which is the problem. Shouldn't this have been obvious?

I don't use them, so not especially. To me, anyway. Sketch has fixed that though, so not an issue anymore.

I had to write some big random generator files, but there's done now so turns can go full speed.
Since we last checked on our planet, it has made nearly a million passes around its star.
In this time, the planet has only gotten warmer. (+temperature) The water near the equator rises in a huge belt of steam, and this added water vapour has lead to a minor greenhouse effect. The warm current has grown in intensity and deepened, doing the same for the cold return current, and the land is more inhospitable than ever.
It's been a tough time for our branch of Cavatibia. They hang on in their small social groups in the shadow of cool water, but they have been displaced from the cliffsides by newer species. This drive out to deeper water has increased their swimming ability, so they now stalk above and around the seabed foilage. They have grown thinner and longer, with fins running from tip to tail.
Let's join one of these newly hatched creatures...
Generation 2, Phase 1
Cavatibia remus
You curl out of your egg and wiggle free, finding yourself in the shadow of a leaf, a cache of eggs caught against the stem.
After flexing your whip-like tail, finding it propelling you rapidly with an easy, rippling motion, you get moving. What does your instincts tell you?
[ ] Stay below the leaves and hunt for small prey or eggs.
[ ] Stay below the leaves, and chew on them a bit to survive.
[ ] Move above the leaves and go hunting.

MOG is a good shorthand, as well.
