"...and grew to twice the size of its ancestor..."

[NinthMusketeer]

I'm pretty sure we are all guilty of this. A new organism evolves, and just so happens to be exactly twice the size of its ancestor, or half the size. Ok, thats reasonable.

Then it happens again.

And again.

And so on...

A ridiculous number of species are exactly twice the size or half the size of their ancestor (or even ten times larger or ten times smaller), I'm not asking that the rule be changed, but perhaps we could all work on not making every organism at the perfect limit of whats allowed?

I actually don't recall making a species twice or half, I would pick a number somewhere reasonable in the middle.
But yes it does annoy me how common and unoriginal the twice or half size is just because of dwarfism or gigantism

well considering how many "large" organisms are killed off at the end of each week, it makes sense that people want to quickly grow big things.

Not to mention that it allows for more variability and, at least in the case of plants, twice the size is actually quite limiting to the point of being almost unnatural...

which reminds me that you guys seriously need to make more plants, I mean like... just make some big ol crystals and keep in mind that the photosynthetic shell and the red fleshies reproduce separately (as far as I know)
