I think the people on whom I've inflicted round 3 of the Phone Game (a mother of a game, with very tricky vocab probs - if any of you is having a really hard time, I can change your phrases) would agree :) I'd have no objection to a scifi scenario, but would prefer something on this planet, possibly mediaevalist. I'm not quite feeling like coordinating, unless noone else volunteers' but there really is little to coordinating. Sorry I can't be more helpful or inventive with scenarios; anyone feeling creative? It'd be preferable that the thread not be a complete mishmash. Once the preliminaries are through, though, I don't see why the tales shouldn't just be dumped onto lojbanlist as they get churned out, to be integrated up by the coordinator eventually. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nick S.
