That surprises me. 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.
