こんにちは

Currently we don�t have the same name, but hear me out: it would make life easier. we wouldn�t have to remember anybody else�s name because their name would be our name. there would be no more miscommunications like calling out someone else�s name in bed because we�d all be calling out our own name in bed. it�s clear this would make life much easier. I think we can all agree on this so here is the thread to decide what that name should be

We should all speak the same language. I can�t explain how many times I�ve had to watch foreign films with subtitles. this would not be a problem if foreign films were in my language. Esperanto doesn�t cut it because I don�t speak esperanto. this is also the thread to decide what language we should all speak

Nothing with circles in it. Circles are hard to draw. Maybe cuneiform?

My vote is that we should be called Salvatore, we should speak Italian and write in cuneiform.

There's a space 4x game where one of the factions is an entire society of just some dude named Steve or something.
Just billions of space fairing Steve's looking to branch out into the universe to make even more Steves.
It's pretty funny.

Uncle Enzo: Apr 28, 2008; I always wanted to be a Wizard

I propose we all go by "Beverly"

We should make a proper, superior language instead of using a naturally-grown one. The first step to being The Culture is to create Marain.

I speak English and it's a good language, but it's kind of like my childhood. It's pretty decent compared to some alternatives but pretty lovely when compared with what I could have had with some basic problems addressed. I think all languages can have something to add but all of our languages just kind of "happened" and they major ones are only important because the people who spoke them managed to win enough wars. That's not a good metric for a language.

ClamdestineBoyster: Aug 15, 2015; Can't post for 10 years!

All men should be named Fart and all women Puss. Then you use a decimal point as an identifier. Like �oh hey PUSS.48485829292, did you see FART.292920 play the sports game last night? He made FART.92020027777 look like PUSS.39599 lol� :v:

. But like the decimal is actually a hexidecimal barcode that displays on your forehead when you think about that person and it�s already biologically processed by the other person so you can just say fart and puss and the other person will know who you�re talking about.

Horatio, from Endless space? Yeah, he's neat.

We're kind of a western-centric group, so I vote for the most average mashup of western Europe - Dutch. I don't speak it, but it looks like something I could learn.
I like the idea of avoiding circles, but cuneiform is a really complicated system; it'd be better to stick with an alphabet. How about runes? Specifically, old anglo-frisian runes, to go with the Dutch.

So. I vote we all learn to write and speak Dutch, in runes, and we're all called Jan.

As the ant among foreign-enemy ants is killed, so the ant without ants dies, but being without ants is as sweet as honeydew.

The Torah posted:

The Tower of Babel

11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.

3 They said to each other, �Come, let�s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.� They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, �Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.�

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, �If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.�

8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]�because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
