: I really liked the fast speed, so I propose that we could just set it according to how the author or the wiki feels; There's definitely benefits to a weekly time limit [more participants, more proof reading hopefully, etc etc] but there's nothing stopping people from running the 48 hour relays in the meantime. I am considering composing a text for one myself shortly which I'd like to see used for a fast relay. -[[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 19:57, 11 September 2013 (CEST) | : I really liked the fast speed, so I propose that we could just set it according to how the author or the wiki feels; There's definitely benefits to a weekly time limit [more participants, more proof reading hopefully, etc etc] but there's nothing stopping people from running the 48 hour relays in the meantime.

I'm actually preparing the Second Linguifex Relay, but I suppose we could have individual time limits, right? Let's say most of us go with 2 days, and if someone say they need a week, they'll get it. Granted they speak up before we start, that is. And I intend for it to start sometime next week; Wednesday to Friday.

I've just written up what I'd like to see for a third relay. It has a few similar themes to Chrys' but I blame the fact that both example relays were about birds; I wanted to keep with the theme.-[[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 22:52, 11 September 2013 (CEST) | |||
I have ideas for a text, it will be a song in Themsaran or Proto-/Old Tizian (with some coincidental similarities to the first text). BTW will the Arena forum be used as the locale?

===The Arena=== | |||
I don't think so; with individual articles, it's easy to keep our eyes off of the earlier ones but if it was in a forum, we'd probably have a pretty good idea of what the earlier ones were saying just from browsing for the one we were supposed to translate.-[[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 02:57, 12 September 2013 (CEST) | |||
:Now this is a silly suggestion, but hear me out. I'd propose that the Arena locale be used as an arena for Epic Conlang Rap Battles. Thus, we could settle all disputes by cranking out disses in conlangs (with interlinears and glosses). Everyone wins! ;) --[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 03:06, 12 September 2013 (CEST) | |||
:: Silly but amusing. I see no reason why it couldn't be a pleathora of things; A springboard for member [rather than necessarily Admin] led Relays, A Conlang Rap Battle Thread, Translation Challenge [The Same Text in Multiple languages, with people giving Aesthetic input] and even a sort of language exchange arena where people trade and try to work with/learn the conlangs of others and compare the results. Those are the four main events that I can conjure, but there's likely many more-[[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 06:40, 12 September 2013 (CEST) | |||
I was also about to propose for it to be used for a variety of purposes; the Conlang battles and Translation Challenges were a few of my [coming] suggestions, since the relays weren't going to be held there. :P All types of conlang challenges and activities!
