The long wait has ended! Generation 1 begins nesting today!
I've moved into a daily hatch nesting format since the last phase ended, so I'm only starting one nest today.
Pair VIII: Life, Uh, Finds A Way sit uneasily between green and gray and their offspring predictions are overwhelmingly psychedelic fade/blend/smoke. They gave me two eggs. The next ping you get from this thread will be for this hatch.
Since I don't have much else to report today, here's some summary statistics from the bottleneck thus far:
Primary genes (gen 0): 15
Most abundant primary: Jaguar
Primary genes (gen 1): 11
Most abundant primary: Jaguar/Fade
Secondary genes (gen 0): 14
Most abundant secondary: Butterfly/Noxtide
Secondary genes (gen 1): 9
Most abundant secondary: Noxtide
Tertiary genes (gen 0): 12
Most abundant tertiary: Capsule
Tertiary genes (gen 1): 7
Most abundant tertiary: Capsule
Diversity is plummeting! Will the most abundant genes lose their top spots? Or will they sweep the population and hold out to the end? Sorry, this isn't ecology...
