* About this game
This game is a genetic evolution simulator.
Each entity has its own DNA, and the status
as well as physical characteristics are all
predetermined by the DNA.
All you have to do is mate your slime with
others in hopes of making it stronger.

* How to play
Choose your mate for your slime.
That's it.
... or rather, that's all you can do. (^^;)
It's rather easy.
Until you get the hang of it, just randomly
select your mates.
It will become more complex as you figure
out what all the information means.
However, whether or not you create strong
slimes do not depend on how well you can
parse all the information.
Just understand what is there, and enjoy
the game.
You cannot choose slimes with no seeds left
to be your mate.
And when you have a new slime, fight with it.
It will fight from the bottom of the rankings,
fighting up the latter based on how many points
it receives, until it loses.
To avoid congesting the server, you can play
up to once per 15 minutes.
If you do not play for over a week, your
data will be deleted automatically.

I will now explain in order.
The rankings are point-based.

The slime's generation, birthday, and the owner name is shown here.
The generation is also the number of times the owner has played the game.

* Explanation of each parameter

HP	If your slime's Hit Points go to zero, your slime loses.
STM	Your slime's stamina will decrease upon giving or receiving a blow. If attacking loses 4 stamina points, evading a blow will lose 1 point and receiving a blow will lose 6. As your slime loses stamina, it will become weaker overall; it will become increasingly weaker when the stamina goes below 50%. If stamina goes to 0, it will only be as half as strong as when it started. When it goes low on stamina, the rate with which stamina decreases will also slow down.
STR	Strength is how large the damage is upon each hit.
DEX	Dexterity determines the probability of the attack hitting the opponent.
SPD	Speed determines the number of hits given and ability to evade.

Furthermore, heavy slimes have larger strenth but lower dexterity and speed.
Large slimes are more powerful, and smaller ones are quicker.
Those with high status will use more stamina per turn as well.
When the status runs out of digits, the number of digits shown will automatically
be decreased for easier visibility.

This is the slime's pedigree.
If you are familiar with horse-racing, this might sound familiar.
When you click on the name, the slime will show up on screen if
it is still ranked.
The furthest left is your slime's parents.
To the right is the grandparents.
Further right are the great-grandparents of your half.
Far right are the great-grandparents of the other half.
It should actually look more like

... but for spacial reasons, the petigree is listed more like the
first table.
The number to the bottom right of the name is the generation number.

* Battle result report

FOR*EXAMPLE	HP:-17/4823	STM: 20%	HIT 12	/ATTACK 32 times	DmgAve 325	LUCK: 49(74)
Sample	HP:56/3963	STM: 5%	HIT 21	/ATTACK 44 times	DmgAve 230	LUCK: 54(57)

This is the information from the battle results.
HP: Remaining hit points. The denominator is the maximum HP.
STM: Remaining stamina points. From this you can see when your
  slime started to lose stamina.
HIT/ATTACK: Number of attacks landed / attempted.
DmgAve: Damage Average.
Luck: The average of all random numbers generated between battle.
  The larger this is, the luckier you were.
  The first number is the hit estimate. This goes from 0
  to 100, and the target number is 50.
  The number in parenthesis is the damage estimate. This
  also goes from 0 to 100, and the target number si 67.

* How the ranking works. Rankings are based on points.
Each ranked slime has their own points, and you can get those points when
you win.
You cannot lose points just by losing.
Every slime created starts with one point, and will fight from the
lowest ranked slime and up the ladder, fighting only with slimes that
have more points than itself (except for the top three slimes, which
it will always fight).
Points are awared for slimes that break a winning streak.
When the battle ends, the rankings will be rearranged based on these
point totals.
The top-ranking slime is special, and if there is a slime that has
more points than it, a special match will take place. If the top-
ranking slime defends the title, the number of times it has defended
the title will show up next to the rank. iHighest rank: 1^{1<-this
thing})

* Hall of Fame
Slimes that have defended the top rank more than 3 times
will enter the Hall of Fame as one of the legends.
Its name will live on for future generations.
A slime will enter the Hall of Fame when it fails to defend its title,
and the data recorded will be from when it falls from the top rank.

* About the DNA.
Physical characteristics such as muscles, brains, and reflexes
are passed on from generation to generation.
Statuses such as STR are determined from a complex algorhythm of
such characteristics.
Each slime will receive half of the DNA from each parent, and each
parameter contains two separate strands.
Of the two, the dominant one will appear in the status, and the
other one will not appear in the status charts.
The trait that does not appear may show up in the generation
after the current one. This is how generation jumps are simulated.
The creator's interpretation of inbreeding is to increase the
chances of having a certain ancestor's DNA.
Perhaps such inbreeding will give good results.

* About evolution.
The program makes sure that the probability for the slime getting
stronger is the same as it getting weaker.
However, because the number of ranked slimes is limited, and because
most everyone will choose stronger slimes to mate with, that probability
shifts somewhat.
Weaker slimes will have a smaller chance of leaving offspring.
Thus, even if getting stronger or weaker has the same probability,
it is believed that the slimes will evolve as a species.
That is the intent of the programmer.
So, let us watch how the slimes will evolve.

* Other comments.
Several mutations are hidden within the algorhythms. They will appear
if the conditions are met. There are a few varieties... will you see
them all?

* A story from the programmer.
God was bored, and created slimes from clay.
One was a black slime named Adam that had nothing.
The other was a white slime named Eve that had many things.
Adam created seeds. Eve ate those seeds.
Eve's body changed in many ways.
She became a grey slime.
Every Eve that ate Adam's seed became gray.
Soon there were many slimes, and one day ran out of food.
And so the battles began.

* an FAQ just for the English version (compiled by the translator)
--Can I have more than one login?
   sure, especially if you have multiple IP's.
--Can I use an old slime of mine as my side of the parents?
   I'm afraid not. This is an evolution sim after
   all... we need to go forward. So mate once, fight
   once, and then make new offspring. =)
   but then, nobody is stopping you from inbreeding...
--How long to the slimes stay in the ranks?
   until they drop off the top 50 list.
