I think I should add "propagandski" to Hubtok.

The same to you.

If translations count, then Klingon Pop Warrior's cover of "Kiss Me" should suffice.

They aren't topics per se, but I'd love to see more forum games like Nomic and #45thworldproblems.

I'd love to have some help with the Hubskian language. It was meant to be a collaborative effort, but it seems that I'm the only one still working on it.

I vote against this. Arabic numerals suffice.

shanoxilt  ·  3391 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubnomic 1: Ruleset CREATIVE-KEYCHAIN - Rules on beginning

I propose a new ruleset.

Proposition 3: Ruleset determining powers and responsibilities.

3.1 Users may obtain or be granted Titles.

3.2 Titles must NOT be hierarchical nor shall they be allowed to lead to a hierarchy.

3.3 Titles confer special privileges and/or possessions.

3.4 Titles also require of the user certain duties.

Make a proposal to find out!

    Does it?
Yes, it does.
    Are there "big players" here?
Yes. And there are tools in place for them to dominate the conversation.
    Most of the people who are "power users" here are people who interact with everyone, a lot of the time. If you did that, then you too, if you chose, could what passes for a "power user" on this website.
Don't condescend to me. Every attempt at posting here has been met with a block, a mute, or the use whatever new feature allows board censorship.
    If you don't do it already, instead following people, follow #tags.
I follow enough tags on Twitter and Tumblr. This place is little more than a miniature Reddit and in that regard, it fails to bring content I can't find there.
shanoxilt  ·  3703 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski Economy: A thought experiment

I agree. This site has already been dominated by the clique of early adopters. At every point, I have been shut out of any meaningful input.

shanoxilt  ·  3849 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What language(s) are you currently learning?

I am currently learning Lojban, the logical language. Yes, Esperanto and most other invented languages interest me.

It was a whisper and it began to say, "People aren't listening."

shanoxilt  ·  3259 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Any hubski users here into language learning?

Saluton!

I am currently learning Lojban, Esperanto, and Toki Pona.

I noticed you wanted to join/start a linguistic cult. Common Honey is exactly what you desire.

shanoxilt  ·  3259 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: A Geeky Problem: Queer Terminology for a Constructed Language

    "I" "am (to be present tense)" "female" "changed (to change past tense)" "male" for trans for example (I really have no idea if this is how lojban works, I'm guessing)

Unfortunately, gender dysphoria and the transgender experience are way more complicated than that. It isn't that they are becoming a woman or a man; it is that they already are one but are taking the necessary steps to match their minds and their bodies.

Read Julia Serano's "Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity" and Antonio Demasio's "The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness" for an introduction to the basic ideas involved.

    And if that turns out to be a really long word then just shorten it like Esperanto's Mojosa (MOderna-Juna-Stilo, or Modern Young Style).

This does not work for Lojban due to its word-formation rules. Lojban requires what is called "self-segregating morphology", so any words that violate a certain pattern will wreak havoc on the rest of the grammar.

    I don't really see how LGBT terms would be useful often however, I mean, if you go to a party and meet someone you would say "Hey I'm CardboardLamp", instead of "Hey I'm CardboardLamp, I'm a color of race, sexual orientation, age, etc etc etc", unless you're at an event specially held for LGBT members.

Most Lojbanic expression happens through text in the form of chatrooms and there are a lot of bisexual people in Lojbanistan, so it is only natural to include them.

    And could you tell me what you mean by "retains mostly cis and heterosexual concepts despite known speakers"?

I am discussing issues of cisnormativity and cisgender privilege.

    And is it not about cultural neutrality? It seems like you want it to be diverse,

You can't be culturally neutral without diversity.

I don't speak Toki Pona, but I am aware of it.

It is a mystery-based game. Piece together the clues to solve it.

Are we still playing? Please don't let it die before it begins.

shanoxilt  ·  3385 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubnomic 3 and what a shortlived experiment this was

As I've said in the past, Nomic is one of those games that is extremely difficult to keep active. It requires invested and interested players, and a system to keep the momentum going.

    2.3 ratification of ruleset propositions shall occur 96 hours after the post of the next ruleset under the following conditions:

I really insist that you make ratification occur at a maximum of 24 hours.
