The Story Humanity is expanding into the stars. The despotic leadership of humanity known as EarthGov has ordered a colony ship to proceed to the planet Euthimius, which appears to be ideal for human colonisation.
Filled with excitement and ambition the outpost deployment team arrived and planted a modest village from pre-fabricated structures. Years went by and the village prospered. Ready and waiting for the colonists to one day arrive.
Unknown to the the team the planet was already inhabited by sentient aliens. These aliens, none too happy with invaders encroaching upon their planet, waited and watched. Learning the ways of these humans.
Now is their time to strike. Having killed and assumed the personas of two of the human crew, the aliens blend in ready to kill their prey one by one.
The Teams Human The human team is the largest. Most players will be randomly assigned a sub-role within the human team but as always the game is largely freeplay allow you to assume any role you can.
Aliens The alien team is the smallest, consisting of 2 or 3 players (depending on total player numbers). Aliens have the ability to evolve any ability they wish, at the cost of "Evolution Points" which they can early by killing wildlife and other players in the game. However evolution can come at a price, anything that would visually alter the appearance of your character will be visible to other players. Choose to remain hidden with more subtle evolutions, or go for more outlandish evolutions and attack your enemy head on.
Other Details For those familiar with Aliens, this will be the first game that almost fully automated and is therefore still partially a test game (but we will treat it as a normal game otherwise).
All human actions will be auto-actions, they will not have access to manual actions.
The Aliens will have access to ONE manual action per round, they may only use this to evolve. Any other actions they put in here will be ignored.
Rounds will last 1 day (I will aim for as close to 24 hours as possible but it may sometimes be before or after that point, you should generally aim to do your actions early).
