Floyd |
Floyd | Nameless Quest v2.0.12 is (c) 1985, 1986, 1987 by Endless BBS
Floyd | (172-363-5377) and was called Endless Quest up until v2.0, which is
Floyd | when I added an ending to it so it couldn't be called that anymore,
Floyd | hehe. I have been playing it since v1.5.1 back in 1985 and have been
Floyd | the maintainer since v1.7.0 when I was elevated to Co-SysOp status, so
Floyd | after I added the ending Endless gave me permission to put my name on
Floyd | it... or my non-name ;)... I hope that you enjoy it!
Floyd |
Floyd | Thanks to Endless, my fellow Co-SysOps Lninja, Ultrex, and Crossbolt
Floyd | for letting me bounce ideas off of them, and especially my new
Floyd | co-developer Warden (made Co-SysOp in three months! Nice job kid!) And
Floyd | to my mother, who keeps saying "you're 29 years old and you have a
Floyd | college degree so why don't you get a job and move out of the house
Floyd | and what do you do in that basement all day anyway": I DO THIS! Look
Floyd | upon my works, ye mighty, and despair! Hehehe.

Floyd | The sign out front said this was a jewelry shop, but inside you find
Floyd | no display cases of jewelry or anything else to suggest that this is a

Floyd | glowing stripes, sitting at a desk and applying the strangest torch
Floyd | you've ever seen - a piece of metal that gives off a curiously narrow
Floyd | blue flame - to a rough, round rock. He looks up sharply as you enter.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Grf," he says. "It's you. Uh... forget you saw this." He quickly
Floyd | gathers up his things, waves his scepter, and walks off through the

Floyd | what do I do with you while I leave the long way? Wait, I know." He
Floyd | clears his throat. "FROSTI," he says. "Don't worry, the effect only

Floyd | The path, and everything else, comes to an end here at the grim, rocky

Floyd |
Floyd | As you stand there, up to your ankles in mackerel, a knight arrives.
Floyd | "We have a strict anti-nudity ordinance around here," he says, "and

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You wake up.
Floyd |
Floyd | You are lying on your back in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room,
Floyd | staring at a white popcorn ceiling. You blink in disbelief. Seriously?
Floyd | That was all just a dream?
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a dresser across from the foot of your bed; you stagger to
Floyd | your feet, walk over to it, and peer into the mirror perched above it.
Floyd | Okay. Good. Not a dream. You still look like yourself. You're even
Floyd | still wearing your brown cloak. But then where are you? What happened?
Floyd | You try to think. The last thing you remember is...
Floyd |
Floyd | ...oh. Right. Your death. Which makes this the afterlife. And if that
Floyd | popcorn ceiling is any indication, you didn't end up where you might
Floyd | have hoped.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You are in a spare, wallpapered bedroom. It doesn't have that "lived
Floyd | in" look that would mark this as your own room, but neither is it the
Floyd | sort of austerely professional space that would give it away as a
Floyd | hotel room.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Wait, "hotel"? How do you know that word...?)
Floyd |
Floyd | ...in any case, your best guess is that it's the guest room of someone
Floyd | else's house. Maybe it belongs to a friend of yours. (Do you have
Floyd | friends? You do hear voices downstairs.) It has the basic furnishings,
Floyd | but little more: a queen bed, bedside table with lamp, dresser with
Floyd | mirror, and, in a nice touch, an overhead ceiling fan. On one side of
Floyd | the bed is a wall safe. On the other side is a large window; the
Floyd | frilly blue curtains are open. Along the adjacent wall, next to the
Floyd | dresser, is a half-open door leading to the bathroom (nice to see the
Floyd | bathroom is en suite); another door is set into the wall
Floyd | across from the window. The floor is a medium-light hardwood, and the
Floyd | ceiling... has nothing wrong with it that a few thousand dollars'
Floyd | worth of asbestos abatement won't fix. (Except - "dollars"?
Floyd | "Asbestos"? Where are these words coming from?)

Floyd | hasn't been renovated for a couple of generations. (How you know this,
Floyd | given that you've just come from a world where people wash in barrels
Floyd | and relieve themselves in buckets, you're not entirely sure.) The
Floyd | wallpaper is peeling a bit around the window set into the exterior
Floyd | wall; the ocean view from that window is reflected in the mirrored
Floyd | medicine cabinet on the tiled partition wall opposite it. Beneath the
Floyd | medicine cabinet is a sink. The far wall is also done in small white
Floyd | tile, chipped here and there. Near that wall, but not attached to it,
Floyd | is a bathtub; however, the towel rack is across the room, above the

Floyd | You emerge from your room, not knowing what to expect, and quickly
Floyd | take in your surroundings. You are standing in a nondescript hallway:
Floyd | plain white walls, a threadbare runner carpet. The door to your
Floyd | bedroom is at one end of the hallway, the first door on the right-hand
Floyd | side at the top of a flight of stairs that spirals downward to an
Floyd | unseen lower floor. At the other end of the hallway... well, there is
Floyd | no other end to the hallway. Not that you can see, anyway. It seems to
Floyd | stretch on forever, with doors at regular intervals.
Floyd |
Floyd | While you're staring at that, you hear someone coming up the stairs.
Floyd | When you turn to look at who it is, you discover that it's... you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Hi!" the other you says. "Sorry your quest didn't work out. I know
Floyd | what that's like, believe me. But why wouldn't you believe me? I'm
Floyd | you!" The other you chuckles. "I know, your head must be spinning. But
Floyd | I'm here to help you out! Just call me your alter ego. You'll want to
Floyd | talk to me about what's going on... that's >TALK TO ALTER EGO, just to
Floyd | be clear. But no pressure!" The other you chuckles again. "Feel free
Floyd | to explore the Great Upstairs - come on down when you're ready. Oh,
Floyd | one last thing: THAT way," he says, pointing at the endless hallway,
Floyd | "is north." The other you grins and heads downstairs.

Floyd |
Floyd | You wake up.
Floyd |
Floyd | You are lying on your back in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room,
Floyd | staring at a white popcorn ceiling. You blink in disbelief. Seriously?
Floyd | That was all just a dream?
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a dresser across from the foot of your bed; you stagger to
Floyd | your feet, walk over to it, and peer into the mirror perched above it.
Floyd | Okay. Good. Not a dream. You still look like yourself. You're even
Floyd | still wearing your brown cloak. But then where are you? What happened?
Floyd | You try to think. The last thing you remember is...
Floyd |
Floyd | ...oh. Right. Your death. Which makes this the afterlife. And if that
Floyd | popcorn ceiling is any indication, you didn't end up where you might
Floyd | have hoped.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You are in a spare, wallpapered bedroom. It doesn't have that "lived
Floyd | in" look that would mark this as your own room, but neither is it the
Floyd | sort of austerely professional space that would give it away as a
Floyd | hotel room.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Wait, "hotel"? How do you know that word...?)
Floyd |
Floyd | ...in any case, your best guess is that it's the guest room of someone
Floyd | else's house. Maybe it belongs to a friend of yours. (Do you have
Floyd | friends? You do hear voices downstairs.) It has the basic furnishings,
Floyd | but little more: a queen bed, bedside table with lamp, dresser with
Floyd | mirror, and, in a nice touch, an overhead ceiling fan. On one side of
Floyd | the bed is a wall safe. On the other side is a large window; the
Floyd | frilly blue curtains are open. Along the adjacent wall, next to the
Floyd | dresser, is a half-open door leading to the bathroom (nice to see the
Floyd | bathroom is en suite); another door is set into the wall
Floyd | across from the window. The floor is a medium-light hardwood, and the
Floyd | ceiling... has nothing wrong with it that a few thousand dollars'
Floyd | worth of asbestos abatement won't fix. (Except - "dollars"?
Floyd | "Asbestos"? Where are these words coming from?)

Floyd | Even more than the bedroom, this cramped bathroom shows this house's
Floyd | age. Not that it isn't well kept up - it looks like it's been recently
Floyd | cleaned - but the clunky styling of the fixtures suggests that it
Floyd | hasn't been renovated for a couple of generations. (How you know this,
Floyd | given that you've just come from a world where people wash in barrels
Floyd | and relieve themselves in buckets, you're not entirely sure.) The
Floyd | wallpaper is peeling a bit around the window set into the exterior
Floyd | wall; the ocean view from that window is reflected in the mirrored
Floyd | medicine cabinet on the tiled partition wall opposite it. Beneath the
Floyd | medicine cabinet is a sink. The far wall is also done in small white
Floyd | tile, chipped here and there. Near that wall, but not attached to it,
Floyd | is a bathtub; however, the towel rack is across the room, above the
Floyd | toilet. Next to the toilet is the doorway, which leads back to the
Floyd | bedroom.

Floyd | "What do you mean by 'iterations'?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "The world of the quest is cyclical," your alter ego explains. "The
Floyd | time loop begins with one of us in the tavern. Most recently, that was
Floyd | you. The sequence of events then unfolds as follows: the adventurer
Floyd | goes outside - one way or another - and meets the old man, who tells
Floyd | the adventurer about the dragon. The adventurer then tries to find a
Floyd | way to kill the dragon, and somewhere along the line, meets a grisly
Floyd | end. That adventurer is then whisked here, while the game world
Floyd | returns to its starting point, with a new adventurer and a new attempt
Floyd | to complete the quest. Each of those loops is called an 'iteration.'
Floyd | We are all iterations of the adventurer, and we've each had an
Floyd | iteration of the adventure. Make sense?"

Floyd | This stretch of beach appears to be under the same bubble of

Floyd | them back. You are therefore blessedly alone with the sea, the rocks,
Floyd | the thin strand of pebbly sand, and the still, humid air.

Floyd | You are standing in a nondescript hallway: plain white walls, a

Floyd | the hallway, the first door on the right-hand side at the top of a

Floyd | This is the western end of a small, nameless village. The main road
Floyd | runs west toward the shoreline and east into the center of town. The
Floyd | only buildings of interest are a pair of shops: a plain-looking weapon
Floyd | shop to the south and a slightly fancier-looking fishing shop to the
Floyd | north.
Floyd |
Floyd | A green pennant flies from a tall metal pole, marking the western
Floyd | boundary of the village.
Floyd |

Floyd | You are at the crossroads of a tiny village like many others you have

Floyd | west, while a smaller one runs north and south.

Floyd |
Floyd | There is a small mailbox here.
Floyd | A woman's voice calls out, "MALSXLOSI." Then you hear a resounding

Floyd | You are in a spare, wallpapered bedroom. It has the basic furnishings,
Floyd | but little more: a queen bed, bedside table with lamp, dresser with
Floyd | mirror, and, in a nice touch, an overhead ceiling fan. On one side of
Floyd | the bed is a wall safe. On the other side is a large window; the
Floyd | frilly blue curtains are open. Along the adjacent wall, next to the
Floyd | dresser, is a half-open door leading to the bathroom; another door is

Floyd | the hallway, the first door on the right-hand side at the top of a

Floyd | This is a rectangular porch that extends along the entire length of
Floyd | the front of the house, whose front door lies to the north. A wooden
Floyd | railing, about waist high, runs along the border of the porch, and
Floyd | steps lead down to the beach.
Floyd |
Floyd | The beach, however, is packed solid with trolls from the waterline all
Floyd | the way up to a magical barrier just in front of the house. It's more
Floyd | than a little alarming to see the hundreds upon hundreds of them just
Floyd | inches away, with nothing visible between you, but the barrier seems
Floyd | to be holding.
Floyd |
Floyd | Among the many trolls crowding the beach is one you recognize from the
Floyd | world of the quest - and while the others have been magically
Floyd | silenced, this one is unaffected by the protection spell. "So, I see
Floyd | you've finally come to join your chummy friends!" it sneers.

Floyd | sitting on battered couches watching Rocky IV on Betamax. An

Floyd | protection as the house; as you look to the south, you can see the
Floyd | shoreline curving away toward the southwest, and hundreds of trolls
Floyd | are struggling to walk up and harass you, but an invisible force holds
Floyd | them back. You are therefore blessedly alone with the sea, the rocks,
Floyd | the thin strand of pebbly sand, and the still, humid air.

Floyd | Bedroom (on the bed)
Floyd | You are in a spare, wallpapered bedroom. It has the basic furnishings,
Floyd | but little more: a queen bed, bedside table with lamp, dresser with
Floyd | mirror, and, in a nice touch, an overhead ceiling fan. On one side of
Floyd | the bed is a wall safe. On the other side is a large window; the

Floyd | This is a rectangular porch that extends along the entire length of

Floyd | steps lead down to the beach.
Floyd |
Floyd | The beach, however, is packed solid with trolls from the waterline all
Floyd | the way up to a magical barrier just in front of the house. It's more

Floyd | to the east.
Floyd |
Floyd | A troll lurks by the bridge, flipping through a book titled
Floyd | English Usage. When it sees you, it straightens up with a
Floyd | start and quickly flings the book into the chasm. "A new adventurer!"
Floyd | it shrieks. "Have you come to free us from the dragon? Then I, Lonk
Floyd | the Troll, would like to thank you for your courage and bravery!

DavidW says, "oh well"
|
| | borowski says, "Weeee"
|
| | DavidW says, "I was hoping to turn the troll into a large fish that I could tempt the rocs with."
|
| | DavidW says, "Dead trolls liquify, so I don't even have a corpse to use."
|
| | DavidW asks, "hmm. I can turn the cloak fishy. Maybe I'm supposed to turn the fish cloaky instead?"
|
| | borowski says, "I broke down and talked to the doubles. They mentioned two spells that I haven't seen anywhere else in the game."
|
| | DavidW asks, "Do you know their effects or just their names?"
|
| | borowski says, "In one case both, in the other just the name."
|
| | DavidW says, "well, if it's Esperanto, I can guess the effect."
|
| | DavidW asks, "What names?"
|
| | borowski says, "ORANGXO and POVO."
|
| | DavidW says, "well, orangxo is the name of the fruit we call an orange."
|
| | borowski says, "With the first, the effect was mentioned."
|
| | DavidW says, "POVO means power, or ability."
|
| | DavidW says, "POVI is the verb 'to be able to'."
|
| | borowski asks, "Did you try taking the rock into the cottage?"
|
| | DavidW says, "I suppose ORANGXO simply conjures an orange."
|
| | DavidW says (to borowski), "I did, but the voice said nothing about the rock."
|
| Lionheart arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
| | borowski says, "ORANGXO is a specific version of KOLORIGI, not requiring an ampule."
|
| | DavidW says, "oh, that's not proper Esperanto, then. The verb to turn something orange is ORANGXOKOLORIGI."
|
| | DavidW says, "oops ORANGXAKOLORIGI. Typo!"
|
| | DavidW says, "In Esperanto, orangxo is the fruit, and orangxakoloro is the colour."
|
| | borowski asks, "How is that pronounced?"
|
| | DavidW says, "or-anj-ah-ko-LO-ro."
|
| | Lionheart says, "Sure. I'd probably not use infinitives but imperatives for Esperanto spellcasting. Like: "ORANG^KOLORIG^U!""
|
| | Lionheart says, "Or in English: "Turn orange!""
|
| | DavidW says (to Lionheart), "I agree. The spells ought to end in -U."
|
| | DavidW says, "But if Harry Potter can used tortured Latin for its spells, no reason this game can't use slightly-tortured Esperanto."
|
| | borowski says, "oh another new spell."
|
| | Lionheart says, "It _can_, but it'd be better if it didn't."
|
| | DavidW says (to borowski), "The 'x' in Esperanto words is used in x-notation; the 'x' really means that the previous letter ought to be written with a ^ accent mark on top."
|
| | borowski says, "Ah."
|
| | Lionheart says, "Or a breve in the case of UX. Yeah, x-notation is a common ASCII workaround."
|
| | borowski says, "That makes more sense. It seemed like 'orangxo' would be impossible to say with english phonetics."
|
| | DavidW says, "So the 'gx' really means g^, which is pronounced like our j. Likewise, 'sx' is 's^', is pronounced like our 'sh'."
|
| | Lionheart says, "Though I think using ^ as a postfix looks much better."
|
| | DavidW says, "There's also h-notation."
|
| Lionheart can see a dream in your dance. Lionheart can see tomorrow in your dance. We can call it, "our hope"!

|
| borowski reminds you, "Due to the continuing narrative nature of our show, please do not divulge the contents of story lines to anyone. This script is for your eyes only. Thank you for your cooperation."
| | |
| borowski arrives, full of fun and funk.
| | Lionheart says, "h-notation is deprecated."
|
| | DavidW says (to Lionheart), "oh? I'm not up on what's going on."
|
| | DavidW asks, "So why would h-notation be deprecated? Too anglocentric?"
|
| | Lionheart says, "Zamenhof proposed the h-notation, but it leads to ambiguities that x-notation does not."
|
| Lionheart arrives, full of fun, but no funk.
| | DavidW asks (of borowski), "so, I'm kinda spinning in place here. Do you have any suggestions how we should proceed?"
|
| | Lionheart says, "Also, the x-system works much better for sorting."
|
| | borowski says (to DavidW), "Yes, but it comes from the hint doubles, if that's OK."
|
| | DavidW says, "hm. well, if it comes from the hint doubles, let's get it direct from them."

Floyd | You are in a spare, wallpapered bedroom. It has the basic furnishings,
Floyd | but little more: a queen bed, bedside table with lamp, dresser with
Floyd | mirror, and, in a nice touch, an overhead ceiling fan. On one side of
Floyd | the bed is a wall safe. On the other side is a large window; the
Floyd | frilly blue curtains are open. Along the adjacent wall, next to the
Floyd | dresser, is a half-open door leading to the bathroom; another door is
Floyd | set into the wall across from the window.

Floyd | Bedroom (on the bed)
Floyd | You are in a spare, wallpapered bedroom. It has the basic furnishings,
Floyd | but little more: a queen bed, bedside table with lamp, dresser with
Floyd | mirror, and, in a nice touch, an overhead ceiling fan. On one side of
Floyd | the bed is a wall safe. On the other side is a large window; the
Floyd | frilly blue curtains are open. Along the adjacent wall, next to the
Floyd | dresser, is a half-open door leading to the bathroom; another door is
Floyd | set into the wall across from the window.
Floyd |
Floyd | You rub your eyes, stretch, and get out of bed.

Floyd | You are standing in a nondescript hallway: plain white walls, a
Floyd | threadbare runner carpet. The door to your bedroom is at one end of
Floyd | the hallway, the first door on the right-hand side at the top of a
Floyd | flight of stairs that spirals downward to an unseen lower floor. There
Floyd | is no other end to the hallway; it stretches on forever to the north,
Floyd | with doors at regular intervals.

Floyd |
Floyd | You follow the curving staircase downward...
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You are standing in a small area of parquet at the bottom of the
Floyd | stairs. The staircase back up to the second floor lies to the west; a
Floyd | hallway leads north, and this one looks mercifully finite. To the east
Floyd | is a dark room lit by flickering, ghostly light, and the door outside
Floyd | is to the south.

Floyd | This is a large room - apparently a later addition to the original

Floyd | are anything to go by. In the near corner stand a quartet of arcade
Floyd | cabinets, while at the other end of the room, near the entrance to the
Floyd | library, is a pool table; a couple of adventurers are playing a game
Floyd | of 9-ball. Empty and half-empty beer bottles are everywhere.
Floyd |
Floyd | A dartboard hangs on the wall opposite the main egress, which lies to

Floyd |
Floyd | You scan the nametags of your doubles. Not everyone is wearing one,

Floyd | The lights are off in this room, but you can still see reasonably
Floyd | well, thanks to the glow of the boxy big-screen television. And what
Floyd | you see is a room full of clones of you, all in adventurers' cloaks,
Floyd | sitting on battered couches watching Rocky IV on Betamax. An
Floyd | archway leads north into the kitchen.
Floyd |
Floyd | You scan the nametags of your doubles. Not everyone is wearing one,
Floyd | but you do read these: COTTAGE, ROC'S NEST, TROLLS, JEWELRY SHOP,

Floyd | It looks like this kitchen has been updated piecemeal. The sleek black
Floyd | refrigerator with in-door water and ice dispensers is clearly one of
Floyd | the latest models, while the beige and brown buttons on the wood-grain
Floyd | microwave speak of an earlier generation, and the loudly chugging teal
Floyd | dishwasher a generation before that. The oven is of indeterminate age,
Floyd | though the fact that the clock on it is analog rather than digital
Floyd | suggests a relatively early date. A screen door leads north to the

Floyd | hasn't been renovated for a couple of generations. The wallpaper is
Floyd | peeling a bit around the window set into the exterior wall; the ocean
Floyd | view from that window is reflected in the mirrored medicine cabinet on
Floyd | the tiled partition wall opposite it. Beneath the medicine cabinet is
Floyd | a sink. The far wall is also done in small white tile, chipped here

|

|
| | borowski asks, "I guess restore and try the fight again?"
|
| | DavidW says, "mal- is used a lot in Esperanto. 'bena' is good; 'malbena' is bad, etc."
|
| | borowski says, "Maybe that's why I thought it was like Spanish - bueno"
|
| | DavidW says, "well, Spanish gets that one from Latin, as does French and a few others."
|
| | DavidW says, "oops. It's bona and malbona."
|
| | DavidW says, "My Esperanto is rather rusty."
|
| | borowski says, "I'd think it would be difficult to practice."
|
| | DavidW says, "There's online options, but I haven't really taken the time to do it on a regular basis."
|
| | DavidW says, "Esperanto uses several prefixes and suffixes to get a lot of extra words from root words. Koloro is colour, and the -ig suffix means to make or render; that's why Kolorigi means to make something another colour."
|
| | borowski asks, "Interesting. Do endings like that usually make nouns into verbs?"
|
| | DavidW says, "The -i at the end makes it a verb. In the infinitive form."
|
| | borowski asks, "would 'kolorig' be 'a rendered color'?"
|
| | DavidW says, "Nouns end in -o."
|
| | DavidW says, "So, kolorigo might means that, yes."
|
| | borowski asks, "Does Esperanto have a particular accent?"
|
| | DavidW says, "It isn't just nouns that can get an -ig added, though. For example, droni means to drown, and dronigi means to drown something or someone else."
|
| | DavidW says (to borowski), "Sorta, yeah. All letters are supposed to have only one sound each, all letters are pronounced, and the emphasis is on the second last syllable of all words."
|
| | DavidW says, "So in 'mallonga' (short), you need to pronounce both L's."
|
| | borowski asks, "How do you become interested in it?"
|
| | DavidW says, "Unfortunately, this doesn't always make sense, and sometimes the agglutination rules aren't as consistent as one might like."
|
| | borowski says, "I'd heard of Esperanto before, but I don't think I'd met anyone who knew it before joining ifMUD."
|
| | borowski says (to DavidW), "Language is never consistent as one would like."
|
| | DavidW says, "I don't remember how I got into it. I've always liked the idea of other languages, but I could never really get the hang of any language other than English. But Esperanto is supposed to be easy to acquire and make other languages easier, so ... I guess that was where I started with it. Hoping that eventually I'd be able to read non-English postings on various newsgroups -- back when I read newsgroups."
|
| | DavidW says, "And I guess I like the idea of a pseudo-secret language, like the way it's used in this game."
|
| | borowski says, "Yeah, languages are interesting. I tried to invent my own alphabet as a kid, but I think I was probably just ripping off Elvish."
|
| | borowski says, "Esperanto has always interested me because I wouldn't think an artificial language could survive."
|
| | DavidW says, "yeah, That alone is impressive."
|
| | Lionheart says, "The fascists actively tried to stamp it out in World War II, which did hurt it, but it endured."
|
| | borowski says, "I guess all human language has the same basic structures, so a language can only really be artificial to a small degree."
|
| | Lionheart says, "Esperanto had some advantages in being recommended by the French Academy of Sciences and adopted as one of the official languages for United Nations publications."
|
| | DavidW says, "huh."
|
| | Lionheart says, "Hitler named Esperanto as a language of the International Jewish Conspiracy in Mein Kampf."
|
| | DavidW says, "I think one of the ideas of Esperanto is that it would be a second language to everyone; no speaker would have a first-language advantage a priori."
|
| | Lionheart says, "And Stalin exiled Esperantists."
|
| | borowski says (to DavidW), "That's a worthy goal."
|
| | Lionheart says (to DavidW), "Yes, indeed. That was Zamenhof's lofty goal"
|
| | Lionheart says (to DavidW), "World peace through a universal shared second language"
|
| | Lionheart says (to DavidW), "Those ideals permeate Esperanto culture, you can hear it in Esperanto anthems played at Esperanto conventions and stuch."
|
| | DavidW says, "I wish he hadn't used accented characters or have the difficult letters 'c' and 'hx'."
|
| | borowski asks, "Difficult letters?"
|
| | DavidW says, "'c' is pronounced 'ts'. And I never learned how to say 'hx'."
|
| | Lionheart says, "Yeah, though through usage, h^ got largely replaced by k. Ex. h^emio was replaced by kemio in usage"
|
| | DavidW says, "But 'scii', 'to know' is just awful for an English speaker to spit out."
|
| | Lionheart says, "'scias' isn't so bad. You don't use the infinitive that often."
|
| | DavidW says, "But I kinda need to preface it with a dummy vowel, ust-SEE-ahss"
|
| | DavidW says, "hold on. I better hide my dinner dishes before roommate arrives."
|
| | Lionheart says, "That's a bad habit."
|
| | Lionheart says, "With a little practice, you should be able to break it"
|
| | DavidW asks, "what, dinner?"
|
| | DavidW says, "I've had very little practice with ClubFloyd running all night until past daybreak."
|
| | borowski says, "Yes, I don't know how I'm awake."
|
| | DavidW says, "I just assumed your cat was helping."
|
| | borowski says, "Oh no, she wasn't happy at all until I finally took my laptop into bed."
|
| | borowski says, "I've tried to teach her to play IF but no luck so far."
|
| | DavidW says, "y'know, I still don't see how MALLERTA will be enough to deal with the minotaur. If it has approx. 1000 hp to start with, and our broadsword does only 50 damage per sucessful attacks, we might still be killed before we have a chance to deal 20 blows."
