My Herbies LIVE!!!

[Technosphere](http://www.technosphere.game-host.org/index.htm) is back. Remember that from many many years ago? You make a little guy and set him free in the world. They eat, they kill, they have sex and they die.

Here’s my oldest [critter](http://www.technosphere.game-host.org:44820/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2591352).

If you make one see about dropping an SDMB in the name so we know when our own.

Ok, that’s cute. Here’s [FilbertSDMB](http://www.technosphere.game-host.org:44820/cgi-bin/upload.exe?UID=1181950779&EMAIL=marlitharn2002@yahoo.com). He’s a carnivore. Go Filbert!

Hey, I just posted about this in this week’s MMP. Most of my critters are dead, but I have two grandchild-critters:

This is the [older one](http://www.technosphere.game-host.org:44820/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2969009) and here’s the [other one](http://www.technosphere.game-host.org:44820/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2996613). They’re both pregnant right now.

I just entered an old email address I’d half forgotten, and remembered that one of my SDMB creatures (AntipoDoper) had [a child in an incestuous relationship with another SDMB creature!](http://www.technosphere.game-host.org:44820/cgi-bin/tree.exe?id=2722496) Small world… :eek:

A shame that family line died out.

Hmm, I think one of mine hooked up with one of Abbie’s too.

Actually, a look through the site seems to show **Abby** ’s creatures seem to be fucking anything that moves. 😃

Huh! I deleted a email from Technosphere earlier today, thinking it was just another spam thing. And it was for _real_, after all …

Checking the link here, though – I’m surprised and delighted that a few of my wee creations managed to sprog their way into some sort of immortality. Go – run fast and spread like crazy, you strange herbies! 😃

All of my Bosda series are herbivores, & the line has survived, & is doing well.

Huh.

Color me surprised… 10 of my critters’ descendants still live from before. Cool. Back to toying with the basic nature of life, playing god, and all that rot.

I had a bunch of creatures in the before times, I seem to have lost my old information so I made a couple new ones. Be on the lookout for VenusSDMB and ProbeSDMB. I’m sure there will be more to follow.
