Have a go next round. You don't lose your culture if you miss a stage, it's just considered "stagnant". If I don't do a naming language for Gaak, it doesn't matter, I'll probably do something for them next time.

Hm, might even have time to work on Gaak.

"shurrup", "gerroff" "gerraway" "tara" Ah yes, now I know. Cilla Black (Liverpool) used to say things like that. She also used to "We're gonna have a lorra lorra laffs." (lots of laughs) Actually, come to think of it, I sometimes say "shurrup" and "gerrof", but that's imitation, and I wasn't really ...

Dragolm History Around the year 2500, new golems were being designed, ones to understand and better manipulate sapient species. Unfortunately they came with a defect: their understanding of sapience led them to compassion and “humanist” leanings. They objected to the slavery of the dragons, which b...

No, but that would be cool. The closest thing we have is this thread.

I've got a POUR-POOR merger:
shore/sure [ʃɔː]
moor/more [mɔː]
tour/tore [tʰɔː]

Though...
door [dɔː]
dour [dæɵ̯ɜ̯]

But I also have a PURE-POOR split. Usually, if a traditionally /ʊə/ word doesn't come after /j/ (and some other, less predictable cases) then it becomes /ɔː/.

Guop History The Guop orcs had started to domesticate the urnp more and more, in time developing two strains: one for transport and one for meat (through a process of centuries) This made life easier, taking them away from a life of hunting, scavenging and even cannibalism. However, around the turn...

My back hurts because I've been doing falls and rolls. I did an ukemi without support of my hands, and straight over my head, instead sideways over my shoulder. I also jumped over two people and fell on the floor quite well.

But it hurts, and tomorrow I'm gonna be stiff as hell.

This morning I worked a bit on Dragolm history (in parallel with Guok and Gaak). But maybe someone else would like to work on the language part?

I have three cultures, but wouldn't mind giving one to someone else. Actually, whilst I'm thinking of it, I'm more interested developing the orcs and amphibimorph/monkees. So would anyone like to take on the Dragolm empire? I already had developed some ideas for it, so will share those, but it's up ...

Or even two wasn't there?
Yes, it was discussed when looking at the climate and also the terrible pinching once the map was globed.

I'm okay with what Zompist proposes. I think this project works well being light and mobile, but without losing the quality. I'm already having loads of ideas for what happens when Lulweon and the Č'irah run into each other. I've got various ideas. A brainstorming of ideas. I don't know where to sta...

It nywistism sied ny. Nihilism disagrees. Σε δόνας απλύ κα ούν φώρμ νιχιλισμία. There's more than one form of nihilism.

I am a living being. I cannot be a nihilist.

I've just translated a a webpages of Catalan into English. Got to go through, rechecking grammar and spelling and I can send it! Out of my hands...

Guom and Gaak cultures will be spreading, but there'll be little political unity. Dragolm will spread as an empire, but factions will be developing, which could be adopted.

I'm not interested in a monopoly, that would make this boring.

I wonder if we can develop some sort of semi-standardized language presentation format for this. I like that idea. It's something I can follow (my efforts will be limited anyway). Maybe we can do a naming language + more, a few example sentences as well as names for continents, lakes and so on. I h...

I'm also a little glad that my poor, long-suffering cynocephali are, for the most part, far, far away from the unstoppable armies of insane golems that are about to explode onto the scene. :P Yes, and may they enjoy a few more years of peace. Next time I go on holiday it might be with your cynoceph...

Here are my requests for my cultures.

Gaak
Q-1r

Guop
B-4

Dragolm
W10r, W9, W9r, X9, X9r, W8r, X8

That should leave Sal and Mornche some room to expand. If not, I'm sure we can work something out.

I'm thoroughly disturbed. I just received this message from the Dragolm... "We are the Dragolm. Lower your borders and surrender your lands. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile." Thanks for the votes! (...

¿Hay otra manera de decir "agujeros negros"?
Y at-il une autre façon de dire «trou noir» ?
Hi ha altre manera de dir "forat negre"?
Is there another way of saying "black hole"?

Posher than Ron Weasley, hovering around Harry Potter, sometimes leaning towards Hermione Granger.

Extending the deadline does seem sensible if more people want to vote. What I did was read through each entry as they were published. The ones I liked I put on a short list. Later I could compare them and eliminate until I was left with five (if I needed to refresh my memory of a culture I'd skim th...
