"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

Wasnt 1776 being reserved for some sort of revolution mafia?
"False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often long endure; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, as every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened."

This is done through posting "Antimutagen: -Player-" or "AM: -Player-". The mod will keep track of all votes in the votecounts, and the player who has the most votes on him at the end of a Day is prevented from mutating the next Day. This means that if they were a member of the lynch-wagon the same day they received the antimutagen they may still mutate, the Day afterwards however they will not. In the case of a tie the player who was voted first takes priority.
mod, can you clarify this?
Example: I'm on the lynch wagon D1 and receive the most AM votes D1. As I understand it:
- N1 Iwillstill get to choose a mutation
- N2 I willnotget to choose a mutation, even if I was on the D2 lynch wagon
Is that correct?

"The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so."
