Biography
I have been madly playing SPORE since shortly after it came out in September 2008, but my passion only grew when it launched its first (and sadly only) expansion pack, Galactic Adventures, in 2009. I began by making short and funny adventures about Clark and Stanley, two idiot brothers who die in a variety of ways.

Towards the end of 2009, my path became clear when user Pat1196 created SPORE Unleashed, a radical and inventive concept for a series where a community of users guided the evolution of a species from their first clumsy steps onto land to an interstellar empire. Sadly, the series was discontinued shortly after we entered the Cave Stage. However, my love for the concept did not go away with it. In 2010, shortly after Pat1196 allowed others to use the concept, I created my first interactive series, Evolution Gone Wild! It was quite lackluster, with too few unique creations (as I recall, I stole a species directly from user Luminar) and too high expectations. Fortunately, that series too faded into memory.

Fast forward to late June 2011, and I noticed that there weren't a whole lot of people commenting on my stuff. Everyone loves recognition, and my younger self was no different. Remembering the old interactive series concept, I began work on a series called Spore The Next Level, where the player chose a microorganism to guide to greatness. On July 1st, 2011, Spore The Next Level entered the stage, and shortly thereafter the votes came in. My expectations were not very high, and so I didn't really expect the series to last more than a year before I inevitably discontinued it for some reason. Little did I know, however, that it would go on for much longer...

As the months passed, the cellular Klees evolved into Kleekoonanonis, a race green monkey people with arms on their heads (which was totally a mistake). About then is when three users, eme12, dumblydum, and fungus3, began to stand out to me amongst the sea of comments. They too were interested in interactive series, and both had their own (eme12 made Sporetopia, dumblydum made Spore Released, the first series to get to Civilization Stage and fungus3 made Evolution Quest, which was the first to get to Space Stage). I began playing their series and adding their creations into the game.

In 2012, a year after the it began, Spore the Next Level officially reached the Space Stage. It had been beaten by Evolution Quest, but nevertheless I considered it a significant milestone. From then on, it turned into a monster that could not be stopped. Even on a dark day where nobody voted, fungus3 decided to vote and bring the series back in early 2013. It was around then that our connections became stronger, as we decided to pull our series together into a coherent universe, where two series could cross over and feature beings and planets from others. This had been attempted back in the early days, where the Thistils (protagonists of Evolution Quests) visited Epindol and took care of some business. Only in 2013 was this expanded further, when the Kleekoonanonis went through a wormhole to discover dumblydum's Toriins. The Revolution Universe took shape later that year, and from then on we continued to add and expand upon it. We only stopped around last Christmas, when we all got together and decided to reboot it to make it more interesting.
