:Aye, I know about the cheating issue. I just figured (perhaps naively) that people wouldn't want to cheat much (I mean, where's the fun?). And I was thinking more of this as a trial run, thus the small number of spots. Just to get it running soon-ish and see how it turns out. This way we'll have some data on issues, turn-out, wiki-usage and can design a larger, more intercommunitarian run later. :) --[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 08:50, 2 September 2013 (CEST)--[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 08:50, 2 September 2013 (CEST) | |||

There are some problems I see with this relay. The first is that the text to be translated will be posted on the site, which makes it hard not to cheat. In most conlang relays, a relay-master has the emails of all conlangers involved and acts as an intermediary between the conlangers. Secondly, why have a limited number of spots? We want to encourage participation by as many people as possible, no? Zev (talk) 08:46, 2 September 2013 (CEST)
- Aye, I know about the cheating issue. I just figured (perhaps naively) that people wouldn't want to cheat much (I mean, where's the fun?). And I was thinking more of this as a trial run, thus the small number of spots. Just to get it running soon-ish and see how it turns out. This way we'll have some data on issues, turn-out, wiki-usage and can design a larger, more intercommunitarian run later. :) --
