Around the World Create a Family

How This Works
Consider this one big world wide CAF! This is the sign up post, where you can sign up to play the game. The actual game will be posted in a future thread. When you sign up, you will be assigned a zone. It is in this zone that you will find the languages you will be using to create your family. Once you are assigned a zone, you can begin looking for names. The actual family you are filling in, with DH, DW, DD/DS etc, will be provided in the actual game thread. Until then, just brainstorm ideas for names.

Once the actual game thread is set up, I'll explain how you will post your families in the right place for their zone. This is a judged game. There will be one winner per zone (depeneding on how many people per zone), and three top winners. Criteria for judging will be better outlined in the main thread, but they include name flow, creativity, nicknames, mixing of languagues from the zone etc.

Sign Up!

We Currently have no people in Zone 10, and I might have to delete it, so do you mind picking another zone for now, until I know what I'm going to do with zone 10?

I know I've already been assigned, but I just wanted to point out something: in zone one, you only classified Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian as romance languages. Even though this is true, they all are, the next group are also romance languages.

I'm suspecting you did this due to grouping, but I just felt like pointing it out (yes, I am that bored...).

- lala

7/14/2006, 9:06 AM

Yep, Grouping

I based it more on region than Language family. I thought French would definitely be out of place in that category, and Romanian I thought would fit better with the Eastern European groups because of Location.
