Re: CCC Land Grab
Crap. I totally didn't bother making anything for those squares. Oh well. My successor will have a lot of land to work with.

Re: CCC Religions - Thru 4/15 or so
Here's some background info. Hopefully I will post more about the religion itself before the deadline. Geography The northeastern coast of Matrixia has a cool continental climate similar to the eastern coast of Canada or Russia. It is mostly boreal forest dominated by spruce and birch. In the south,...

If you want the Tsargoki, PM me and I'll give you the info.

Re: Linguistic "tendencies" caused by sampling
I don't think it's unlikely that something like this would happen. I mean, in the Elman Service days of anthropology, people were making all kinds of conclusions about the development of human societies that turned out to just be about Polynesia. The part of the world that provided the neatest, simp...

Re: Korean "tense" consonants
My Korean is partly influenced by family accent, so it might be out of date in the "motherland," but... I say tense consonants with more "force" if that makes any sense. It's not aspiration. It's almost like an ejective, but I'm pretty sure I'm not closing my glottis. There's just a little more air ...

Re: CCC Languages Voting - Thru Fri 3/28
FatGoon: I wasn't assuming they would take a vote about it. I thought it would be a matter of gradual language dominance, like the spread of language families on Earth. I can't imagine it's any less realistic than having an empire expand its border just because it has pleasing laryngeals. Just an id...

Salmoneus: One thing that's been tossed around is to hand off cultures you can't or don't want to continue. If there's still time, you could offer for someone else to give a crack at Luweon's recent history.

Re: CCC Naming languages - Thru SUN 3/23
I'm not going to make a language for the island of Jwa, since the language of Ccuxu was never completed. I think we can just assume for now that Jwa is identical to Ccuxu so that if the latter is ever completed, it won't contradict the former. In lieu of a naming language, I give you a brief histor...

Re: CCC Land Grab
Nah, warming the whole planet to make the polar cap hospitable is a terrible idea. People have already worked out other climates based on the present model. Relocation is the way to go. I've already started making a map for the island at X7. It'll be great.

Re: CCC Land Grab
I think zompist has the best idea. Ccuxu got two squares to expand to. Hopefully Clawgrip won't mind if I alter his selection slightly. Instead of expanding to B12r, let's say the golems expand to... X7. They still keep C12r.

*handwave*Ocean currents~ Woooo~*hadwave* That doesn't work. First of all, there isn't going to be much of a warm current in the area, and even if there were, CCCP will certainly have a circumpolar current as well. The northern coastal areas would actually be very similar to their Antarctic equival...

Re: CCC Land Grab
Clawgrip and I have decided to swap cultures (at least one of them). I'm going to develop Ccuxu up to 4000, and (s)he'll develop Ggazzei. Unfortunately, when I looked into the details I realized that nothing up in Ccuxu really works. Our climate map was never very accurate, but since I was in a dese...

Re: CCC Naming languages - Thru 3/21 or so
Well of course it would be voluntary; if you're really attached or you've already done a lot of work then so be it. But I would gladly let someone else take over Ggazzei. So why don't we go ahead and swap? Send me the stuff you have for Ccuxu, and I will flesh out the language and give them some his...

Re: CCC Naming languages - Thru 3/21 or so
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we need to swap. Zompist is right that "Dagolms with guns" and "Dragolms with lazers" is going to lead to repetitive voting. We could ask people very nicely to make each culture very different from its predecessor, but then we still get petri dish cultures...
