Creatures Contest # 1!

Special Note: You need to download the Siamese and the Astro Norn packs from Creatures Labs to play. And Docking Station as well

Alright, here's a contest that I feel like holding. Since I'll be gone for all of this friday and the rest of this weekend, it'd be nice to try to be active here while not being active. Do you get what I mean? No? ... Ah well.

Besides from that, I also see that there are a lot of games, but no contests, or nothing to promote gameplay. So here is my contest.

The Challenge:
You have to take the 5 provided norns here, and breed them all together until you get a full Astro norn. Each of these norns have only one part of an astro norn, and the rest of them are Siamese. The challenge is, you must breed them until you get a full Astro, in the least amount of generations.

Rules:
- You cannot use the artificial inseminator, splicing or cloning or the genetics kit.
- You cannot import or use any other norns. The 5 provided and their offspring are it.
- You can only breed your norns naturally (aphrodisiac agent or chemical allowed). Nothing else.
- Forced-ageing is allowed.
- Please Post if you are going to enter, or are interested in entering.

Deadline:
I don't think I'll put one in quite yet. But I don't think it'll last a month. So the tentitive date will be September 5th.

Other:
- Winners will only be posted after the deadline has been reached.
- Post picture and generation of the final Astro norn. (I can host pictures)
- Please post some proof of your method and that none of the rules had been violated (e-mail is a great idea)
- Violaters of these rules get disqualified from this contest, and don't get a cookie. (It's a delicious cookie too)
- If one of the five norns die, you can re-import them.

Prize:
The prizes depend. They could be:
- Genome of your choice (Give to you as a .gen file)
- Request for engineering a norn for you (Give to you as a .creature file)
- Drawing of any norn you request. See my DeviantART account.
- A sprite set for an agent

The Norns
You get 5 norns. 2 boys. 3 girls. All newborns.







Download them here

Alright! So I'm off now! I'll be back on the 25th to check out how it's going. ^__^. I'll try to play too, but I of course won't enter.

Remember! FULL Astro Norn! Least Generations! Goodluck!

So... do you mean, you go through the least generation in general, or you just want the "final product" Norn to be of the lowest generation possible, and can ignore any other offspring that crop up?

I mean, the final product must be reached at the lowest generation possible.

However you do it, is fine by me. ^__^

Aha. I would like to play.

...However, when I imported the starting Norns, I found that there seems to be something wrong with both of the males. It's like they're paralyzed or something. They stand perfectly still, unless I drag them along, and then when I let go they just keep walking forever, unless I pet them and then they go back to being frozen. I restarted the game and re-imported them fresh to make sure it wasn't some weird glitch with my computer, but they're still like that. There's no way I can get them to breed naturally like this, but you said not to use the inseminator or other tools. As far as I can see the challenge is impossible. :(

Hmm... I'll fix that when I come back home from work.

(I have to go to work right now)

I'll put up the edit then, Okay?

I think I know what the problem is.

I was using the "Norn Poser" agent to take the pictures of them, and probably exported them before I unposed them by accident.

Sorry about that! I'll fix it as soon as I can.

Yes, I had the same problem... Except for me, they kept wallbonking. The males are total putzes. >.>

Can you touch the stars?
Then you must be an Astro Norn...
My Creatures DS username is the same as this one. PM me if you want to connect!

I'm interested in taking part, has the problem with the Norns been fixed yet?
