Why is it rejected? You said on the blog that it's because it's a colony, but the 7-A calc is based on a clonal colony as well. CT's profile is also based on a clonal colony of trees. Sorry that I'm responding to your comment on the blog here, but I didn't realize it was there until now, clonal colonies are mentioned multiple times on CT's profile (age, classification, range), and in its battles. I think CT's AP is only what it is because it can't really use that colony for AP; trees can't punch.Kepekley23 said:
I just want some clarification here. Changing CT's profile and reconsidering some of its victories, and going back to something else for these calcs, maybe like using extinct whales/dinosaurs/trees for the size/weight instead of clonal colonies?
Also, on the antimatter bacteria, that is blatantly out of our technological capabilities. iiirc it was a huge achievement just a year or two back to create a few molecules made out of antimatter, to think that someone could create bacteria, which is many orders of magnitude more complex and larger, almost 10 years ago is ludicrous to me. Especially when it isn't mentioned anywhere else.
I agree that this profile has a lot of wank, but that's because composite profiles in general are wanked. Poisons can't ACTUALLY combine like they do on this thread, but we pretend that they can for the sake of having the profiles be interesting.

Changing CT's profile is actually the best course of action. This is supposed to be an organism; clonal colonies aren't one organism, they are a group of genetically identical organisms. It makes no sense for us to get an AP based on that.
Speed might be fine, although it'd get a downgrade

Update: After a bit of reading on 'em, clonal colonies might be fine to use, but let me see.

I went back to look for calcs that didn't use a clonal colony, but since the start Pando (clonal colony of trees) and A. Solidipes (clonal colony of fungus) were used, meaning we'd need an entirely new calc, and certainly a downgrade. However, these articles argue that since it's a being made up of identical cells that communicate, have a common purpose (or can at least coordinate themselves), that it should be considered as one organism.
As far as I can tell, this definition should spread to the sea grass as well. The question is, do we use that definition, or do we have a different definition for organism?

and just use the most common organism if you care that much

You guys can remove the antimatter stuff until I get confirmation from the author that what he was speaking of was a real thing and not just a theoretical organism.
As for a picture, this thing should have sufficient enough camouflage to just not have a picture.

What about the image of RuBisCO? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rubisco.png
It is one of the most common proteins...

As I said, this thing has good enough camouflage to where it would basically look invisible and not need a picture.

i think it would have a form naturally.

Unfortunately it's invisibility is not good enough to avoid this wiki rules, so it's still need a picture.

Fine. ;-;
It probably looks pretty Eldritch. I'm not sure if one picture can cover this abomination. We can probably put like several pictures in a tabber, like one for each domain, and then a virus picture.

Musca domestica (house fly)?Unimportantalt said:
Escherichia coli?
About your idea:
I can try to combine these pictures: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Halobacteria.jpg; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EscherichiaColi_NIAID.jpg (I'll try to render and blacken first two pictures); https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Musca.domestica.female.jpg (I've already rendered and blackened it); https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/File:Virus-VERT-PSD_-_Edited.png (I hope that ArbitraryNumbers won't beat me for using his work...)

Here's my work. Bad quality, but it can be fixed.

I mean it is a fly..not really resemble CO.

maybe combine that fly with other features with photoshop

Am I correctly interpreted your idea, Unimportantalt?

I like that.. maybe replace one of the 2 virus images with animal images to somewhat represent animal too?

An animal and a plant, maybe?

Personally i'm ok with 4, just need to replace 1 of the images to represent animal as well.

I think we can use the fly pic above, human(maybe) and 1 plants for a total of 6 life forms.
