I thought about putting a thread about body heat and also blood system type but I really don't think its needed and I'm kind of anxious to get this to the 'modern' era threads. So I guess we'll just assume its whatever kind that fits best with whatever option wins.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

True - but I don't see how that helps if the creature in question isn't endothermic.

I'm going to change my vote from a weird coral reef world (which would be cool looking imo) to tropical just to even things up and make it a tie out of spite :P

I'm good with compromises, as long as they're beneficial. :)

not any more.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Well, that blows. :?

I think tropical swamp makes sense, personally. Like a primordial planet.

I agree. I like the Swamp-tropical idea. I'm switching my vote to Swamp but it will still be 7-6 Tropical.

Sweet.

Vote should be done sometime in the next few hours. But we'll go ahead and call it. I think I'll skip cardiovascular and go into social structure a bit more next thread and move it towards how they are today not how they are naturally.
