We need 500,000,000 more EC!


There has been an important update from the Science and Research Center! They think that they may be able to genetically reconstruct a Calla from the DNA found within the feather. But it comes with a hefty price tag... the Science and Research Center needs more funding!

Care to help?

nilsfig • 13 Nov 2009, 1:33 PM

icedapple • 13 Nov 2009, 1:37 PM

icedapple • 13 Nov 2009, 1:39 PM

wait,i see whats happening, we got the 5million too fast last time so now we need to get 500million so it will give Ian more time for Callas

dionaea • 13 Nov 2009, 1:45 PM

Yeah, this time everyone will have plenty of time to donate, because I think this will take quite a while... πŸ˜ƒ

monasnella • 13 Nov 2009, 1:48 PM

O.o

cricketory • 13 Nov 2009, 1:52 PM

losorlaugh • 13 Nov 2009, 1:54 PM

OMG!!!! 500MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIVE THIS!!!!!!! NOBODY HAS ANYTHING NEAR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

violate • 13 Nov 2009, 1:57 PM

Donated everything I had, just under 300k. Unless my calculating skills are bad, we're currently 0.170942% there!

sparklefox • 13 Nov 2009, 2:00 PM

They need 500,000,000 more EC?!?!I right now donated 7k and now I only have 690 EC left!>.<

losorlaugh • 13 Nov 2009, 2:08 PM

wow izzy... I'll have to check😊 *speed clicks to online calc*........

lemonlollipops • 13 Nov 2009, 2:12 PM

Yay! I got to donate! Only 500 though, because I'm really poor.

losorlaugh • 13 Nov 2009, 2:13 PM

Yup izzy😊 your just about right😊

vixibelle • 13 Nov 2009, 2:17 PM

Donated 100,000 to the cause...again. Seems to me that the S&R Center needs some government funding or summat. πŸ˜‹

kciw • 13 Nov 2009, 3:00 PM

are you KIDDING me!!!!!!! thats like feeding 5 MILLION EGGS!!!

smartie2742 • 13 Nov 2009, 3:38 PM

Well jeez guys.. think of it- Ian probably doesn't have the Calla ready cuz he didn't expect his EC goal to reach that high so fast. Thus,

smartie2742 • 13 Nov 2009, 3:39 PM

he is looking for another way to have more time to work on it without having us sitting around for a week or two waiting for news on it.

smartie2742 • 13 Nov 2009, 3:40 PM

And now I shall donate to the cause! 😊

lizardfeather • 13 Nov 2009, 4:07 PM

Oh yah. 500,000,000 to prove that the feather comes from a Calla WHICH THEY ALREADY KNOW! -_- *sigh* Wow.Obstacles. good delay. *laugh* 😊!

gamekatt101 • 13 Nov 2009, 4:11 PM

Yeah, Smartie is right. 😊 Besides, this'll give all of us who hoarded our EC something to spend it on.

gamekatt101 • 13 Nov 2009, 4:14 PM

@ lizardfeather ...I think you're missing the point. That was the 1st part, this time, they're going to try, and bring it to LIFE.

hanako271 • 13 Nov 2009, 4:19 PM

Donated 80 k. I hope we can actually get them afterwards.

vixibelle • 13 Nov 2009, 4:27 PM

Donated another 250000 EC. There better not be another need for donations after this or Imma break into the S&R and make a Calla myself lol

icedapple • 13 Nov 2009, 4:33 PM

I bet after this there going to need 5billion to like clone the callas so we all can have one... its probaby going to take all week to get

icedapple • 13 Nov 2009, 4:34 PM

5oo million but at least this gives us a chance to spend all our ECs, the problem is that I spent all of mine last time! 😱

brendan • 13 Nov 2009, 4:37 PM

Well since you average around 100 EC per feed we should only have to feed about 5,000,000 pets to get 500,000,000 EC.

cheesy_morgan • 13 Nov 2009, 4:48 PM

This obviously wasn't meant to be reached in a day, guys. This will take time and effort if you really want your Callas. πŸ˜‹

brendan • 13 Nov 2009, 4:55 PM

and then probably more time they more than likely weren't ready yet and I'm sure Ian was shocked we reached 15 mil. in a few hours.

frescotux1o1 • 13 Nov 2009, 5:08 PM

wow. i'm so poor (especially with abondoning all those eggs) so i'll just donate 10,000.

lizardfeather • 13 Nov 2009, 5:09 PM

Oh... So Callas are extinct and they are cloning them... expensive... πŸ˜‹ going to feed lots of eggs 😊

frescotux1o1 • 13 Nov 2009, 5:13 PM

If i do get one, then i'll just hope that it's based on views because a lot of people don't come by and feed mine...

justbeingme • 13 Nov 2009, 5:26 PM

i have donated 200,000 EC and i donated 300,000 last time i dont think i have much left nowπŸ˜ƒ off to feed more eggs must have calla......πŸ˜ƒ

mellyottl • 13 Nov 2009, 6:31 PM

XD How can they clone from a feather? It's dead.

galewinds • 13 Nov 2009, 6:35 PM

You cannot clone anything from a feather. There is no way anyone can do that. Then again this is cyberspace, and a fictional world.

smarties2218 • 13 Nov 2009, 6:35 PM

-whistles- Crazy. 5 mil. They are hoping for some time to create the actual image for the Calla. We impressed them with the amount of

smarties2218 • 13 Nov 2009, 6:35 PM

EC we raised in a day.

icedapple • 13 Nov 2009, 6:36 PM

they get cells from the feather and reconstruct them into the whole creature, or something like that πŸ˜‹

mellyottl • 13 Nov 2009, 6:46 PM

Alright, in cyberspace you can do anything if you code it right~-~

galewinds • 13 Nov 2009, 6:46 PM

Education alert: I checked with a friend of mine. You can gather DNa from a feather. 2500 year old Giant Moa feathers contained DNA and was

galewinds • 13 Nov 2009, 6:47 PM

collected. However the feathers were gathered from caves and rock shelters. Ark has been under water at least once so there should be no

galewinds • 13 Nov 2009, 6:48 PM

usable DNA from any extinct birds.

brendan • 13 Nov 2009, 6:50 PM

We don't know the Calla are extinct they may just be a rare sight meaning if the feather was recently found DNA could be gathered from it.

brendan • 13 Nov 2009, 6:50 PM

and they didn't necessarily go extinct before the flood.

daniellep1988 • 13 Nov 2009, 6:55 PM

Donated 300K
