I don't know where else to put this so here it goes. An official Word Chains Discord server, so we don't play it on the forum anymore.

Nice to see stuf happening. There has been some recent server activity, more should get reported soon.

Are you certain there's no cis, trans, para, ortho, shift, bridge etc. supposed to be in the names?

a p22 twin bee sparkler

Please remember that the correct term is 'sparker', not 'sparkler'. There is no 'l'. This was previously discussed several times.

Bumping this thread for it seems a better place for some recent activity on Art.

In this game each player posts a constructed pattern, usually a still life, and the rest are to deduce what would be the technical name of it using the complex pattern naming system. The patterns don't have to be strict but it is preferable.

Hi, this game might already exist, pardon me if it does but I would rather not look it up now.

A pattern is given initially, for example this:

Hi, been away from the forum for a while. This usef to he a popular game, you folks might be interested. I would rather not play myself, but will try to add the new rules you decide upon on the first post, alternatively you can keep writing it in esch of your posts.

guys
i found out how the sun wor-- just kidding :)
now, more seriously, i just discovered that there's this place between the tigris and the euphrates where they invented something called "money"
why don't we do the same?

Nah, sounds like a bad idea. We can just exchange stuff. Why give value to ...

(Time to unfreeze this long standoff.

No, tin wasn't isolated immediately. It, as well as bronze overall, was first found as a trace component of copper ores that wasn't isolated for a while.

About 3500 BC, I say slightly older. We don't have a word about cities occurring yet, so, while we can ...

Dog domestication oredates agriculture and I had assumed it present at the beginning.

I don't think we have the appropriate kilns to smelt copper and tin (you made a mistake; zinc is used in brass instead) yet. Para's been inactive for a few days; once he returns I'll solve this with him.

Hi, being the moderator here I feel an urge to respond.
I agree fully with Para, b-engine is going on with the stuff too fast. It's not the way. At the amounts Para had discovered copper in it would take a whole lot of rock, time and effort for anything resembling a tool.
I agree with Haycat's gold ...

duuuuude this thing is cool, i found a way to tame wolfs!
yes, good boy, good boy... sit! there, who's a good boy? who's a good boy? take this treat!

I have frequently been feeding local animals, they trust me now. We apparently can enclose them and breed for food and other useful things!

You are going a little too fast, we need copper and bronze first. And gemsand gold could be nice too.

This is becoming a problem. Heav, if you aren't willing to contribute productively, please don't post. No insults intended. The joke was OK once, but it's too much now.
We also need to do these early phases well, for we have a good chance of either rushing them big-time or prolonging it so much it ...

For me, it’s the opposite way around. Before July or something this year, I was actually contributing, mostly in oscillators, but after that point, there kind of really wasn’t anything in the related threads, so I went to The Sandbox.

What about doing OCA?
