Where are the closets? I assume you are making this for middle-class Americans, and we don't like armoires. Also, where are people supposed to eat? When you factor in counters, the sink, and the fridge, you've got a very tight space. If I cooked a big meal, for, say, four people, would I have to car...

I propose that any submission without a description be rejected, as well as ones which look like shit.

Adjective Recoil's map was better.

Ongobo, a land of savage jungles and savager people! Despite its strategic location and great mineral wealth, its development has been greatly hindered by two civil wars and six coups in the last thirty years. General Mbzeki, the current Supreme Commander of Ongobo, has ended rebellions in the south...

No. Kryptonians manifest superpowers when exposed to the rays of a yellow star, but Rao is a red giant.

It perished without my leadership.

Wow. That's all I can say. Please write more, I'm really looking forward to your posts. *microwaves some popcorn*

Frankly, I'm amazed. This has to be, without a doubt, one of the best presentations I've come across on this forum. You should be very proud of what you've done here, and I hope you keep up the good work.

so you've been striving for accuracy with these glyphs? I have some bad news regarding the size of the dogs' heads if that is the case...

Did you ever cheat on any of those exes?

Zontas can spot his own. If this offends him I will be glad to meet him in a British court of law.

Fair enough.

Are you sure? It seems likely, but can we get confirmation from a mod or the OP?

So I guess this thing is abandoned?

Why doesn't someone come up with a simple proto-language phonology and then coin the word for "land" or "world" or something like that?

Fuck this project.

Okay, but is anyone really interested in working out billions of years of planetary formation and then billions of years of evolution?

How about coming up with a preliminary model for a moon-less planet?

A planet without a moon would have a more eccentric axial tilt, wouldn't it? The crazy weather might be the spice you're looking for.

Oh? How different would our mythology be if Uranus was visible to the naked eye, or Saturn didn't exist? But okay, let's say six planets, three terrestrial, including Collaborworld, and three gaseous planets, one of which is not visible.

If this planet hasn't developed past the Renaissance, which I doubt it will be, then astronomical data like asteroid belts and the number of planets isn't very important. As for day length and whatnot, most people will probably not want something complicated like Torco's Suenu . I think Sol-like is ...

I think part of Akana's success was that the linguistics portion, which is the most major, is pretty abstract, so no one became really attached to some stupid idea like men riding tigers up trees. Also the, uh, modular way of doing things meant that someone could make one or two contributions and th...

I volunteer to be leader. My credentials are that I am merciless and the semester is almost over. Torco should be the Caesar to my Augustus.
