Re: The House of Friendship
Hi Lurker! All together I'd say this is really wonderful and delightfully written! The only thing I have any problem with is that no priest would say "I mean, we build our altars on top of the bones of saints. It’s really not all that different, I guess." I think a priest might say that we...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
That sounds very interesting! …. What’s “hippogonal” ? When I read that post, I looked it up on Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hippogonal Learned a new word today! The hippo- part comes from the fact that knights are shaped like horses. Alright. Imma gonna work on a board game that invo...

Edutaining Criminal Justice! There was once, in the land of Angera a particularly eager archon by the name of Crowell whose sole delight, it seems, was devising what some might consider cruel and unusual means of punishing the wicked. But never let it be said that Crowell was a mean sort! For he wa...

Re: What would websites look like in your culture/language?
There are no such devices in the World of Yeola-Camay. However the Mark VII Pegopansophicon has a visual display that is capable of showing imagery. It has no widgets or search bars per se, but there is a sort of avatar, the Interface, whose expressions are annoyingly endearing as its face rises up ...

Re: The Sixth Conversation Thread
Do we have any (proficient / (near) native language level) Irish Gaelic speakers hereabouts? I'd really appreciate some help with a few short Google Translate results. Kindly PM if you exist!
Gaelic baffles me.
Old Irish, much easier!

Re: An eleventh-degree relationship
I think the answer here is that I'd call such a person "potential mate". Especially if she's smart & cute. She has no blood / genetic relationship (probably); and I tend to lose track of "family" relationships at about "parent's parent's sibling". If I met my grandm...
