Who all exactly is still around?

Also, is this the Qicui + Baktarci vs. Ǧakærirr U (and later Mai) war? It's been awhile and I don't remember everything from here, I'll need to search through the wiki.

Note that the comet itself doesn't impact, it just passes very close, while the impacts are from various fragments that broke off of the comet at some point. (Maybe the comet passed close to one of the outer gas giant planets which caused it to break up, and then the fragments were left on a course ...

1: Magical long-distance transport
2: The Great Wobble
3: The Bomb
4: Magic temporarily becomes more powerful

It's fine with me.

I mean every other round had a set number of days in which to submit ideas before voting. This round has been going for a week, and yet no deadline has been given. Do we just go until everyone's bored? EDIT: Gack! Zompist edited the title to include a deadline just before I wrote this reply. Never ...

...punishment for failing to love properly... Are you trying to tell us the Nggwoo blamed the gays? It's Swiiva Ngīzwaáyadri type love... also, pretty much everyone would be considered "gay" in Nggwoó culture... due to ending up in small groups instead of couples and not particularly caring as much...

Beware, it's the Giant Glowing Ball from the Heavens! (AKA, a comet impact) The year 5463 started out normally enough, but as time went by, a dim glow became visible in the night sky, which slowly became brighter with each passing month. It was recognized as another comet, which to the Nggwoó were t...

What exactly are the rules for expansion for the 4000-5500 time period? It is the squares we got in the language voting phase?

Also, are we allowed to take small areas (much less than one square) outside of the claimed squares as trading posts or similar?

We're allowed to talk about Thaumcraft?

Is stress really phonemic in English? There are plenty of verb/noun stress differences, but can these ever actually be the sole differentiation between two utterances? Isn't that precluded by verbs and nouns not being able to go in the same places anyway? I'm not sure you can appeal to syntax in a ...

Well, Swiivà Ngīzwáyadri (whose name may, embarrassingly, have to be slightly revised to be grammatical) ... This is what I got for changes and a gloss, based on the notes you mentioned in the other topic: Swiiva Ngīzwaáyadri Swii-va Ngī-zwaá-ya-dri abstract_derivation-find GEN-love.COL-NEG-end Dis...

I'm not doing any religions, I can't think of anything right now. Swiivà Ngīzwáyadri /ʃʷiː˩βa˥˩ ŋi˥ʒʷa˩˥ja˩ɖi˩/ *stuff* Some notes and questions on language use here: Is swiivà a compound of swi and va , or is it a root on its own?

I haven't thought of anything for them yet religion-wise (other than the basic stuff I talked about in the original creation phase, but that is quite a bit of time ago now, so things could change quite a bit), and the basic idea I have for the area is for a collection of city-states and small-ish na...

If Akana and its moon have slightly eccentric orbits, then a total solar eclipse might still be possible, if all three line up when Akana is at its farthest point from Tol and it's moon is at its closest point. (This would mean that any eclipses at other points would at most be just annular, and wou...

I used equations from Bricka's site: For planets that are closer: 10*log(149597870.7)-2.5*log(L)-67.647-2.5*log(r1*r2*a)+5*log((sqrt(d1^2-d2^2+0.00001))*d2)+0.752 For planets that are farther away: 10*log(149597870.7)-2.5*log(L)-67.647-2.5*log(r1*r2*a)+5*log((d2-d1+0.00001)*d2) 10*log(149597870.7)-2...

A 1.024 solar mass star with a brightness of 1.087xSuns and an orbital radius of about 1.04234AU gets the correct number of days and the same amount of sunlight as the Earth. Of course, this then messes up the year lengths of the other planets a bit, too. Then again, they were messed up to begin wit...
