[lojban-beginners] le nikle gerku

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

So last night on the IRC channel someone (forget who) suggested a new game where we give bridi back and forth where the only rules are:

1)  the main selbri of a bridi must start with the same phoneme that the previous main selbri ended in (e.g.  mi tcidu lo cukta .i do dunli lo gerku)

2) if the form of a selbri is CVCCV it is preferable that the following selbri match the previous selbri's last {CCV} bit, but if that's just not possible or desirable it's ok to just match the last {CV} bit.

3) for the selbri, gismu are preferable to lujvo

4) gismu/lujvo that have not been used yet are preferable to gismu/lujvo that have been used previously.

5) we made up an order so that people took turns making up the next bridi.  So, let's make a list.  Who wants to join in the game?
Maybe we could make a rule that if it's been someone's turn for more than 2 days the person following that person just goes ahead since we wouldn't want it to just die because someone forgot that it was their turn or something.

It didn't start out as a rule, but by the end we seemed to have started a story about {le nikle gerku} {noi nakni .e makfa}.  It could be a fun way to continue the story.  Either by mailing list or on the lojban.org wiki or something.

I've attached the story thus far.  As you will see, we made some of the rules up as we went along.

So, who's in?

06 Sep 2009 22:50:57 <lindar> li reci cu tcika        // play continued with {cidni} (we hadn't made the rule of using the selbri yet)

after this confusion we decided to continue with {cidni}
