What about if both people misuse (by implicit contract) certain words (I can't think of a good example now)? What if they habitually forget to separate the main bridi from the sumti before it? What about lojban with a lot of "zoi" and "zo'oi" and "me la"? Where is the line drawn between incorrect lojban, bad lojban, and not lojban? My complaints aside, that's a really cool idea. I may be colored by recent experience, but bootstrapping using already made games might be effective. I'm thinking specifically about Portal 2 and IloMilo (although both have mechanisms for avoiding need for any conversation), but more generally speaking, playing a cooperative puzzle game might do.
