zompist bboard

What I said was, when I'm represented as a pickle (in pictures and such) it's (or would be) me "wearing" a pic...

Twill be fun, to be sure. *sits waiting* I hope you're not planning to sit and wait in the same place until the waitee is achieved. Unless you have a servant. *points to Jar of Infinite Pickles* Food and water source :mrgreen: I don't know. Maybe pickles are like Ents. I just wear a pickle costume ...

Look at *proto-Eastern's page, where Zomp has some sound changes into other langs. Some of them look quite different.

He did put a lot of work into this.

No kidding ^_^

Because the human languages he has up now are all descended from Ca?inor, so its like comparing Latin with older Spanish, French, and Italian. They'll be quite similar.

So the others derived from proto-Eastern will show some variety?

Most likely.

Eh? What does that have to do with anything?

Should I have put it in a new thread?

If at all, yes. But I'd say don't. It sounds like a flame foundation.

I should point out to Mark that the argument of all langs in a family being similar is not necessarily true. IE langs range from isolating(English) to polsynthetic(French). There is even an IE lang with implosive consonants. I'm not bashing Mark's conlangs, only pointing out that they could be more...

Why, yes; there were some oompa-loompas in his stomach he wanted me to get rid of, so I thought to myself, why not demonstrate how to wield armor at the same time?

(in reality, that was a typo for "on"... but hey)

Armageddon! A comet strikes Almea before they get advanced technology!

...or there's inadequate energy sources, to take a slightly milder view

(ooh, that reminds me: Zomp, how much oil, or coal, or something of the sort, is there on Almea?)

Historical chance. I'm not saying they probably won't. Now taht i think of it, my post was kinda pointless, sorry

Julao wrote:Another question:

What will the future be like in Almea? I mean when they have our technology?

And If. They might never get that far, you never know.

Actually, the Greek word muthos means/meant "something that can be proven neither true nor false".

Er... what?

Humans. Uesti (i think).

If he hadn't made Elkaril, I definantly would begin to suspect that he has a eurocentric mindset. Er... because of his conlangs ? That's like saying I'm black-prejudiced because none of my drawings resemble African art, or Asian-prejudiced because the dragons in my stories resemble European dragons...

This is jus tto provide an example of another "mindset", but in Gonardoi (and most of the other Relanian languages) the roots are usually somewhat abstract in nature, not really showing emphasis on any of the senses (though visual, I guess, is used often). The words less so; but they're similar. For...

there's no "official" RPing site or server or whatever, but if you want to RP in Almea, I guess you could.

Now, to get back on topic (gasp!)...

my favorite "Thinker" (heh) would probably be either the Ilii or the Flaids. I think the Ilii are the most interesting, but I just plain like the Flaids for some reason.

It looks interesting. To be honest, I think it's too simple, but it's still cool.

Ok. I'd have a problem with s'elagu since it more implies 'dockhand' or 'gate keeper' more than a defender (thence, knight). Now there's nothing wrong with Phaedrus, just that yea--the ongoing trend is usually a native piece. I don't recall my history books stating that Phaedrus was Wede:i...but th...

Isn't it Horselord?

That's a myth, I think.
