In my opinion, this dynasty has been more exciting than the last one from the get-go. And based on how many people joined for this dynasty, it appears many people agree with me. I don't know what caused everyone to leave last time. Did we all just decide the concept was dumb? I don't know. Either way, I'm glad to have everyone back.

Posts of Interest
- Copy the Leader introduced the ideas of Food, Genetics, Mutations, and Lifetime Actions, creating a skeleton on which the rest of the game would be built.
- Animals, but not Pond Scum introduced gender, a mechanic which would be given more use later on.
- Another type of heritage introduced Intelligence and Traditions.
- Hermaphroditic Apes introduced mating. Now, two Apes would be selected and have their genes merged to create the next generation.
Ascension
Commentary
In my opinion, this dynasty has been more exciting than the last one from the get-go. And based on how many people joined for this dynasty, it appears many people agree with me. I don't know what caused everyone to leave last time. Did we all just decide the concept was dumb? I don't know. Either way, I'm glad to have everyone back.
