2021 Darwin Game—River

[lsusr]

The River contains lots of every foragable food. The River is like the Human Garbage Dump except:

1. It has 5x as many resources.

2. Both air-breathing and water-breathing species can survive in the River.

3. Organisms may not start in the River. They must wander in.

Name	Carrion	Leaves	Grass	Seeds	Detritus	Coconuts	Algae	Lichen
River	500	500	500	500	500	500	500	500

Generation 0

At first, there are no animals and the foragables accumulate.

Generations 1-100

The same pattern repeats for each foragable. First the foragable accomulates. Then a species which can consume the foragable appears. Its population explodes until it has eaten the accumulated foragable. Finally, its population reverts to carrying capacity.

Persephone 0461′s Very Lesser Forest Dragon wandered in. It thrived until another predator appeared which hunted it to extinction.

Generations 100-9000

Species appear. Species Disappear. Life is always in flux.

This is where all the Ocean’s Soonbegons were coming from. Until they didn’t anymore.
