OK, voting is closed. I'm going to do something that I probably should have done yesterday, or possibly even Wednesday, but I only came up with it in the past hour or so.

Dinosaurs and Earliest 'Preserver' Activity questions, revised

OK, here's two questions to resolve the issue (I hope). The answers are in different formats, so I should be able to tell which answer goes to which question. I recommend answering both questions, but if you only care about one, answering only that one is fine.

First question: It's been mentioned that even if the earliest known examples of Preserver activity date from long after the K-T Event, lifeforms closely resembling dinosaurs and other species long extinct on Earth could still be found on other planets due to convergent evolution (or genetic engineering, or both).

That being said, do you want dinosaurs et al, or sufficiently close equivalents thereof, to be alive in this setting?

Please answer with either 'YES' in all caps, or 'NO' in all caps. Answers with both will be ignored, answers that don't use all caps might be missed.


Second question: When did the Preservers or their equivalent begin taking life-forms from Earth and settling them on other worlds?

Please include the number when you vote. I would prefer of you only vote for one option, to avoid confusion.

1. Long before the rise of humanity (significantly more than 3 million years ago.

2. Circa 3 million yeas ago.

3. Circa 70,000 years ago.

4. Circa 10,000 years ago.

5. Circa 5,000 years ago.

6. More recently than 5,000 years ago (please specify).


Hopefully, this will get a result that everyone is reasonably happy with.


EDIT: The consensus is YES to dinosaurs and such, and 3 million years ago for the earliest known Preserver activity.
