I'm going to set up the ultimate topic for discussion but I'll need everyones help. I plan to post a serries of polls and base the GREATEST TOPIC EVER, off of the results. Or I'll get board and move on. Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 36 user(s) have voted. You may not view the results of this poll without voting. function launch_voter () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=vote;pollid=rwiTzSFledHa"); return true; } // end launch_voter function launch_viewer () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=view;pollid=rwiTzSFledHa"); return true; } // end launch_viewer function launch_window (url) { preview = window.open( url, "preview", "width=550,height=300,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status,menubar=no,scrollbars,resizable,copyhistory=no" ); window.preview.focus(); return preview; } // end launch_window   -------------------- "My Mazaradi goes 185 They Took my License Now I don’t drive But I got me a limo And I sit in the back Lock all the doors In case I’m attacked.” Posts: 54 | Registered: Wednesday, April 12 2006 07:00 |

quote:1. Considering the variety of interests people have, it would be pretty hard to come up with one topic everybody would find interesting, not even talking about "greatest ever". 2. You can have more than one question in a poll. So if you decide to go ahead with this idea, instead of making a seriest of polls, please make one poll with as many questions as you need. Making multiple polls is one of the best ways to get a solid reputation as a spammer, especially when the polls are of questionable value.

Alright I guess that doesn't sound to dificult, but I still don't see it ever happening. Maybe this poll should just be the greatest topic ever I am not sure how to do that but there's got to be some way. (Crickets chirping) I give up. -------------------- "My Mazaradi goes 185 They Took my License Now I don’t drive But I got me a limo And I sit in the back Lock all the doors In case I’m attacked.” Posts: 54 | Registered: Wednesday, April 12 2006 07:00 |

Why not settle this now? it's not like this is a productive poll. So let's just argue this out not. What is better English or another languge (please specify). I say Valish is the best but I'm biased because it's my native toungue so I could also make a case for Spanish. -------------------- "My Mazaradi goes 185 They Took my License Now I don’t drive But I got me a limo And I sit in the back Lock all the doors In case I’m attacked.” Posts: 54 | Registered: Wednesday, April 12 2006 07:00 |

First, please stop double (and triple) posting, Prophet of Trump. There's an edit button for posts for a reason. Use it. Second, Dikiyoba just felt it was time for a random name change.

Since Valish is based on English, I'm unimpressed. —Alorael, who already has seen the greatest topic ever. Maybe evar. It involved papaya, mango, and copious melon. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

A greatest topic? Uhmm... In an Italian Forum, someone post a very interesting question: "How you can become an administrator? The moderatorship don't seems to be vey interesting anymore... :D [ Wednesday, May 10, 2006 08:51: Message edited by: MagmaDragoon ] -------------------- Download Geneforge 4: Rebellion You have 6 posts.

quote:Valish was invented by people who didn't know a damn bit of phonology, so it's rather idiotic. The Modern Greek gamma represents a sound that English does not have, and it doesn't sound anything like the standard English W. (The former is a voiced velar fricative, the latter a voiced labiovelar approximant. They have less in common than an American English R and an English Z.) This is only the beginning of the problems that I have with the writing system. Also, there is no best topic, but there may be a worst topic, and this very well may be it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

How on earth could you be Valish? It's not a nationality or even a country; it's a made-up language. Anyway, the greatest topic ever would likely be something original. Copying other topics won't get you far. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

What Kelandon said. Also, let me point out that Valish is not actually a language in any stretch of the imagination. It is an alternative orthography for English. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Also, I don't know how this slipped my mind before, but Valish is dumb even in concept. English has such frustrating orthography because we've preserved spellings even as pronunciation has changed drastically. Modern Greek has done exactly the same thing, so its orthography is equally bad. Why the hell anyone would want to map one bad orthography onto another one is beyond me. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:Because they are Greeks with too much free time on their hands? :) Most "officials" listed on the page in Alorael's link live in Greece. And the guy who made up this "language" even named it for himself. Overall, after reading this page, I am getting the feeling that this "language" is a sort of thing kids make up for fun (like pig latin), rather than an attempt at creating a full artificial language (like esperanto).
