CreatureLink and the Nornverter

So, if I were to take a CreatureLink Norn from C1 and use the Nornverter on it to convert it to C2, then breed it and put its offspring on CreatureLink, would the offspring still be accepted? Just wondering, because the Nornverter takes a creature's name, appearance, and age, and then slaps it onto a standard C2 Norn genome, so it may as well be a different creature entirely. *whistles and hides plans to do something awesome*

I'm going to say that it doesn't - or at least shouldn't count.

As you pointed out the Nornverted creature doesn't use the same genome as its parents. In fact, I believe a Nornverted creature is technically a gen 1 as far as C2 as concerned. As such, it's technically not an offspring of its parent as it shares no genes with said parent.

Ultimately though, I think it's up to Rascii to determine the verdict on this one.

Welp. *walks off* *peeks back in* I still want more people's opinions on whether or not the offspring of creatures that were put through the Nornverter still count as CreatureLink. *leaves again*

Aw, I was sure that the nornverter directly converted the genes (though c1 genes would make for a very unusual C2 creature)

I agree with Grendel Man; I believe the NornVerter simply copies the Creature's appearance, and pastes it upon a Creatures 2 genome. As a result, if you try to download any of AntiNorn's tortured Norns, and convert them, they'll be perfectly fine when you import them into Creatures 2. :P

I don't think converted norns should be an option, unfortunately. It really is unfortunate that the conversion process ignores most of the creature's genes.

Perhaps somebody could add some firstlink C2 creatures, though, since they seem to be in demand.

Most likely because Creatures 1's link just recently got revived, and now Creatures 2 is the odd one out.
If we do have a firstlink though, I would definately breed them like how I have been breeding the Creatures 1 norns.

What Doringo said. I bet there would be lots of baby machine gun stuff going on for C2 now that I'm completely addicted to it.

Baby machine gun is only a C3/DS thing as far as I'm concerned, since you can just jack norns up on a million fertility potions and remove the eggs manually. C1/C2 would take hours for individual offspring, meaning it's actually more legitimate and adds more value to your uploads.

Well, it wouldn't be on as large a scale as when I do it for C3, but there would still be tons of babies, especially if the CreatureLink Norn was male.

I can't speak for Rascii, but seeing as Grendel Man is the one who manages CreatureLink now, I think he should have the final say on this matter. :)

Well, I'd be just as satisfied with some C2 first-links.

I think the solution is for someone (Grendel Man or someone on the staff team who plays C2) to add some first-link C2 creatures to Creature Link. :)

Other staff members can add first-link creatures to CreatureLink? :o

I thought so. If not I can change the scripts. :P

If that actually happens, expect a huge C2 baby boom.
