Proposal: Bring more competition

In the Classifications rule, add:

Strains are classified by their Population:

1-500 - Critically Under-Populous
501-5,000 - Under-Populous
5,001-50,000 - Thriving
50,001-500,000 - Over-Populous
500,001-5,000,000 - Oozing
Over 5,000,000 - Critically Oozing

In the Population rule, change

Any Strain with a Size greater than zero may,

to

Any Strain with a Size greater than zero and which Population is Over-Populous or lesser may,

Rewrite all the Overcrowding rule, so it reads:

The Free Space in the Petri dish is equivalent to 50,000,000 Biomass.

If the sum total of all Strains Biomass exceeds Free Space, then the Petri dish is Overcrowded and any Strain may administer Overcrowding, if it has not yet been done in the last 24 hours. The Strain administering Overcrowding may claim 1 Size after applying all its effects to the GNDT.

When Overcrowding occurs, reduces every Critically Oozing Strain's Population by 40%, every Oozing Strain's Population by 25%, every Over-Populous Strain’s Population by 15%, every Thriving Strain’s Population by 10% and every Under-Populous Strain’s Population by 5%. A Critically Under-Populous Strain’s Population is not affected by Overcrowding.


50 M Biomass means 10 Thriving Strains with an averaged Size of 100, which seems reasonable figures to me. I worked all the other values from there on. I also purposefully kept Size out of the Overcrowding effects, so it becomes hard to kill a small Strain through Overcrowding.

On a side note, Knightking and Myself will be the Strains hit harder if this Proposal passes.
