Zompist Bboard Again

Well, I ended up finishing it even later than that, but it's done. I was put off by how the text was a bit non-sensical already... I probably shouldn't participate in telephone games to be put off by what I know always happens.

Wow, we're almost at the end of our chain! Thanks, Ser!

Once again, I'm wondering how bad my Turkish translation must have screwed everything up.

EDIT: Then again, even the original English doesn't make that much sense. Last time also, the initial text was not all that easy to understand even in English.

OK, I'll start contacting the people who have volunteered to do the last link. If you haven't volunteered previously, feel free to do so now.

Woof am I rusty with Latin. This challenge is going to shame me into practicing Latin again.

Gimme it.

Has anybody else volunteered to do that besides Nerulent and Yiuel Raumbesrairc? (Not counting my earlier proposal of switching Nerulent over to our team and making me do a final translation for Team 1 as a different option, I guess).

OK, Latin translation finally done, and sent to Moose-tache and finlay.

I'm really, really sorry for the delay... I hope you understand that my degree took priority. Doing both at the same time was, to quote Ralph Wiggum, unpossible.

Word.

Additionally, I have very little practice translating into Latin: since it's a dead language, in class, we only translated from it. All the dictionaries I've seen or had are Latin-to-French (or to English or whatever), never French-to-Latin.

Bit selfish to prioritise a vital part of your education and life over an internet game imo.... Just kidding, no need for an apology!

Yeah, I was gonna be like "no! Some silly forum game we play for fun is way more important than your future/career/life!"

i'm seeing carly rae jepsen tonight so i won't have a chance to look at it properly until tomorrow..

Have a good time!

I suppose I should say thanks. But not to bring the tone of this thread down but my dad unexpectedly passed away on the afternoon when i was due to go to the concert - so i ended up ditching it.

Normally i'd bow out of the game at this point but it turned out to be a useful distraction while i was on my flight coming home. Just pm'd the completed version to moose. notwithstanding some spelling and grammar errors in the version i received - i just made my best guess.

still getting email notifs for this thread so i'll keep checking in now and then when i have a moment

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear that, that's awful! I wish you plenty of love and support.

Sorry to hear that... I can only offer my sincere sympathy. I recently lost my grandfather, but it was hardly unexpected: he had terminal-stage Alzheimer and a lung infection.

Also, sorry for the grammar errors in the Latin text: as I said, my Latin is too rusty. (I'm more surprised about spelling mistakes: generally I'm a pretty good speller...)

I couldn't find "cognivit" - assumed it was the same as "cognovit"

That really sucks - I'm sorry.

So sorry for your loss, Finlay. I'm glad we could distract you with our silly little game.
We're on the home stretch, by the way. Watch this space for updates, because we will probably have our final results before too long.

Thanks guys.

Moose-tache, could you update the first post since Yiuel Raumbesrairc is the next person in the chain after Finlay and Finlay's already done his translation? Thanks!
