Conlang Reconstruction Game 2014: we have a forum

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

How do the teams want to do their secretive messaging? Email is good, or a subforum; it's pretty easy to create a free forum, and if we want I can do that, with separate and hidden boards for each team.
How about naming the teams? So then we can just refer to those names and not the whole list?

I'm not sure what you mean... Team 1/T1 and Team 2/T2 are the names of the teams. T1 is doing proto-T1, T2 is doing that other thing. Also, we have a forum up now, so join as soon as you can.

Jesus people.

It only takes, like, one minute. You don't even have to give a real e-mail because I'm not requiring an e-mail confirmation.

We have a forum. You go to the forum and join the forum. In the plaza there's a sticky with a link to your Control Panel's list of Usergroups. You request to join the usergroup "Team 2", by selecting it and clicking on the "Submit" button. I approve you. You'll be able to see the Team 2 forum hidden for members only.

I'm interested too. I'd love to see a game like this reaching the stage where both protolangs get reconstructed to a considerable extent, so I definitely plan to participate in the reconstruction. As for deriving a daughter myself, I don't know how much time I'll have in the next couple of months, but I'll try.

Oh man, you made me log in for the first time in months just to say count me in. PRGs (proto reconstruction games) are even more fun than they sound. :)

Methinks we need a third team.

Who the hell is Boehijt? If nobody claims to be him/her, I'll be deleting the account.

YaaliAnnar: do you also plan to join a team?

I'm also announcing that I'll be closing registration now, now that the teams have already started getting things going (it's a chaos of lots of activity in Team 2 right now, and I guess it's the same for Team 1). If anybody else is interested in joining send me or dhok a PM.

EDIT: Team 1 - Topics: 2 - Posts: 31
Team 2 - Topics: 3 - Posts 99

Probably not that busy in Team 1 yet.

I'd join in, but I'm probably not that good at diachronics. What say you? I'm willing to try.

I want to join, too! I've been playing around with one of Akana's old defunct protolanguages (poetically called "Proto-Team 1"), but it'd be much more fun with other people. Is it still possible to get involved?
