I was thinking in join the challenge and make an aquarium like that episode of south park where they dropped sea monkeys and they develop their technology and start fighting each other to the death. Or something like Simpson in that episode where lise lost her tooth and stored it in an ambar sample, and the same thing happened, but with starships, etc, also, they believed Lisa was their God.
Maybe a good tug of war... Or feeding a side give it a boost to the development and who develop first destroy the opposite side.
Someone needing an artist here, heh! (My lack of time to draw arts is my Achilles ankle, but who no).
