Please do it! I look forward to this game. There are two tests of Lojbanic proficiency which this could measure. Yanis seems to be proposing the first kind, in which someone is given ample time to create a translation which in their opinion is ideal. The second kind is the timed challenge, which perhaps can be implemented on the MOO, in the style of a game show where the contest is to come up with the best translation that we can in a limited time. The translations would not be ideal but would more closely reflect proficiency in spoken Lojban. -epkat To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
