Tricin (Clofabosin: tricin /tɾikin/ 'world'; Chick Corean: xjeof) is an open-source collaborative conworld originally created by User:IlL (and to a large extent, User:Praimhín), where Clofabosin is the international lingua franca in contemporary times.
Active contributors list
New active contributors should add themselves here. You can state what tasks you want to take over in the near future.
- User:IlL (mostly maintenance)
- User:Immeska (new, nothing quite yet)
Todo for contributors
- Cleanup!
- Avoid words that sound like profanities in common Earth languages in the conlangs
- Find some microtonalist types
- Find a domain to host a dedicated wiki on
- Global warming might force people to migrate - main driver of linguistic change in the beginning of postmodern Tricin?
- Trician architecture?
- A Tricin manga series or video game?
Star system
G-type star: actin in Clofabosin
Planet names:
- spitin
- tricin
- alatin
- fricodin
- sterocitin
- tarofudin
- clifarin
- zanteromin
Planetary characteristics
1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days = 357.0806527870906 HM days = 1.04410737342 Earth years
1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours
86400
357 days = 51 7-day weeks
leap day every 12.3988275678 years
months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)
every 12 except: when the year is divisible by 372
perfect for clofabians
so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years
actually if the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year

Gamelan-like orchestras with metallophones/marimbas, drums, gongs. Use of voice or other harmonic timbres is limited.
Tuning: various inharmonic tunings
Naquosphere
Religions, mysticism and philosophy
- Ftseezhic pantheism/animism
- Naquian paganism - develops into science fiction!
- Clofabian paganism
- A more universalistic religion (in the same general cluster as Christianity or Mahayana Buddhism)
- Perhaps the former multiple gods coalesce into one God - instead of elimination of other gods in favor of one of them
- A person goes to a (potentially infinite?) chain of purgatories after they die - one's karma increases or reduces time served in purgatories
- Heaven exists, "hell" is when a soul spends indefinite time in purgatories
- People drawing up graphs/trees of afterlives lol
- This turns into various board games
- Question: "Assume that there is a God whom we trust and want to get messages from. When can you trust someone who claims to be God?"
- This leads to discussions of computer security protocols before computers were invented
- "God's Public Key" = either a satirical TV show episode, a short story or a song
