[lojban] The Summoning to samxarmuj [monthly repeat]

[Robin Lee Powell <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

My fellow jbobre,

Have you visited the land where Lojban is spoken? It's called
samxarmuj, meaning "computerized imaginary universe". It's a
text-based world on the internet, where you can operate a character
using commands in either English or Lojban: the online software is
bilingual. Lojban is like the language of magic in samxarmuj--
speaking it can bring objects into existence and give them form and
function.

You don't even need a plane ticket. Just click
http://mooix.lojban.org/ssh.html and use the userid "moo" to log in as
a guest until you have your own account. Commands are typed in the
bottom-most part of the window. Guest accounts are limited to using
English, so type the "register" command to get your own account. It's
totally free.

More information, including other ways to access samxarmuj, is
available at http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=The+Lojban+MOO

Intense labor on the part of many skilled programmers in our community
has brought forth one of the most exciting venues in which to use
Lojban that this language has ever had. It is with bated breath that
we launch this massively multiplayer system and declare it ready for
the public. But now we need to massively populate it.

We are currently summoning new mages of every skill level. Come build
your own part of the land. Although you do not have to speak Lojban to
adventure in the land as it forms out of the nothingness around us,
all spells must be cast in correct Lojban. Whatever power hears our
descriptions of samxarmuj, and turns them into reality, will respond
to no other language.

This land also welcome tourists with no skill in Lojban at all. Feel
free to ask us any question about how to use the system. With enough
interest, we may even be able to establish the Lojbanic equivalent of
a Hogwarts academy for novice Lojban magicians! Who knows? Welcome to
samxarmuj! Go native!
