[Games] International CAF: A Judged Tournament
Welcome to International Create a Family!

If you would like to play International CAF, simply sign up below by posting a response. Once you have signed up, I will respond by providing you a group of countries or languages that you are to use for the names of the members of your family (The groups and applicable languages are listed below). A new thread will be posted, in which I will provide the family template, judging criteria and specify the date when the thread will be closed for judging. So, here in the introduction thread, simply sign up, and once I assign your group, start brainstorming! The group assignments will be completely random, but if you have a strong preference for any one group, indicate it in your response, and I will see if I can accomodate you (to make sure all the categories are even).Sign Ups end March 27, 2008, 8AM EST (New York City Time)The GroupsGroup 1: The British Isles

Disclaimer: For the sake of grouping, I have lumped many countrie together, sometimes along language lines, sometimes along geographical lines. I realize that to maintain a generally equal pool of names for each group, I may have forced together two completely different cultures. I apologize, but I did need to keep the groups to a minimum.

I'd like to play. I'd prefer group 1 but groups 3, 4, or 10 would be great as well. I hope there will be detailed instructions because I'm not quite sure I understand the rules. I'll have to read them again. Edit to add: Read your introduction again. I don't remember doing anything quite like this before. Sounds fun! :)

QuestionDo these families live in their respective regions or are they of this ancestry living in an English speaking country?
vote up1
It's not really "families" as in creating an actual group of people, it's simply using the names of the particular languages in the group.
