First Linguifex Relay/Comparison
The First Linguifex Relay was a game of conlang relay starting with a Valian text called Saola peadid, and lasted from Wednesday, 4th of September, 1:20 AM CEST, until Tuesday, 10th of September, 7:30 PM CEST. There were seven rounds, although one forfeited, and thus seven contestants.
The original text was provided by User:Chrysophylax and dealt with the passing of time and changing of seasons.
