Well, the first ever game of {lo do ckiku ma zvati} was played in = the .xedbig. group. After it was finished, Alan announced it in a thread on= the Lojban group, titled "[lojban] nu pa moi se nunkei la'e lu lo= do ckiku ma zvati li'u lu'u"

Apparently he neglected to also inform those who are only in the Lojban= Beginners group, which is both good and bad, since it the transcript neede= d some editing anyway, but the beginners never found out.

Ok, I'm shamed.

.i coi TheLugal,

My advice is to figure out *why* you want to learn Lojban. =A0What
are you going to be using Lojban for? =A0After you can articulate that,
figure out what the simplest thing you could possibly do to achieve
your goal would be. =A0The tiniest step requiring the least amount of
effort from you. =A0The less grammar and vocabulary you have to learn
for this first step, the better. =A0Call it version 1.0 of your vision.
Explore the links that .aionys. has provided to teach yourself enough
Lojban to accomplish version 1.0 of your vision.

This gives you a reason, purpose, and a goal for studying Lojban.
You know what you're trying to accomplish. =A0Once you've accomplis= hed
your goal you will be using Lojban. =A0You can build from this base,
wherever your interest takes you.

ni'o

I play a Lojbanic game called {lo do ckiku ma zvati}. =A0The game is
open to absolute beginners: the first "move" is to copy (as in co= py
and paste, or preferably retype) what was said to you back to the
person saying it, which you can do without understanding what you
said. =A0Once you start speaking (typing) Lojban you'll quickly enough<= br> begin to understand it. =A0If you're interested in playing e-mail me privately and I'll start a game with you. =A0(And since this game is multi- player this offer is open to anyone else interested as well.)

Welcome!

.i mu'o mi'e .alyn.
