Reassign them?

But that brings up an idea: A phonetic alphabet, with each rune representing a sound, chosen by looking at the words each rune roughly corresponds to.

I too have ideas and plans, as well as eventually making a pastefile or editable google doc, for the language idea but right now I'm too tired to peruse such so that's left off for tomorrow.

For plurals, I suggest adding the many word. If there are words that aren't used, like 'the' or whatever, just ignore them, the meaning should still get across well enough. We can work around verbs with clever word usage I think, like [word for you] [word for mace] [word for other guy] [head] would be pretty understandable as asking for you to mace some guy's head in.

Concepts will probably take us the farthest with how malleable they are.

Reassign them? The positioning of the runes, what it looks like and whats in them plays a direct part in what goes on there. You can't really change them in any significant sense.

I'm not entirely certain what he has planned, or what you're talking about.

Syvarris rearranging the words for a new round of perplexicon.

How is he going to stop us from immediantly knowing all of the A-list runes?

No, the A-list runes have images to go with them. very important images. the words can just get reassigned yes, but for the A-list runes the images are really closely related to how they function.

*checks the list*
Oh, right, the circles. Yeah, he'll have to figure something out. Maybe making entirely new functions. Who knows?

Yeah, I've noticed that too, always figured it was my internet futzing up though. Guess if other see it, you might have a blank in your rotation.

It might just be cached in your computer but unavailable for others.

I just read the god files, and suddenly realised that the god I was following was utterly USELESS for me unless I knew exactly what all the circles and runes did and could apply them in useful ways in combat.

I should have gone with Blastel or Scarlon...

I'm not entirely certain how or if that would work.

No I mean that might be a cause for your problem. The image is stored in your computer so it shows up to you but for us we;d have to get a 'fresh copy' and the site your avatar comes from doesnt like hotlinking.
