Popcorn shrimp!

It's a cool flag, regardless of whether it's exactly right...

I'm not much good at planning, but I do have an idea. You know how some people live in trees to keep people from cutting them down? Well, people could do the same general sort of thing here... namely, strap themselves to a kiwi. While the kiwi in question would certainly be annoyed, at least it woul...

*Sniffs and sheds a tear* Amen!And I hereby declare that as soon as I join Shireroth, my very very very very very first... or at least up-in-the-top-100-th... act shall be to refound the Temple (which is really in an awful state of disuse) and open its doors to the people of Shireroth! And within it...

*Speaks in solemn, reflective tones* The paths and prophets of the Most Holy Cheese (chomp and slurp to Its Holy Name)are many. While I have never heard of this Messiah, I see from your words that his teachings are much like those of the Cheesist Faith. Yea, for despite the vast distances of time an...

Can I help? Lemme help! I walk softly, but I carry a big stick! Let the interloper fall before the might and fury of the Ouchmaker!Or, barring that, at least let me be in charge of the vat of boiling oil.

Oh, that's all right then.

Woohoo! Shirlan gets free advertising, and food!Er... *Puts on official robes and speaks in formal tones* That is to say, we deeply appreciate this occasion for unofficial cultural exchange between our nations, and hope it will lead to good relations in the future etc., etc., etc...

Viva il Kiwi!

Assuming that it applied only to humans, I suppose that elves AREN'T guaranteed citizenship? I imagine quite a few elves about would have a problem with that. :PFor that matter, so would dragons in Shirlan. But that's okay, they're oppressed anyway.

Email replied to! Although (I forgot to mention this there) that that address will essentially send it straight to shyriath@yahoo.com anyway, that being my usual email.Erik: Just making sure, on both counts. I know Babkha has some rules about not being the leader of a foreign micronation... and I wo...

Shirlan is actually doing better than I expected (so far). I don't know what dual citizenship laws are like around here, but Shirlan is slowly moving from "project" to "nation", especially with a Ducal Council soon to be formed, and I don't know if being a leader of one micronation and a citizen of ...

*And thus did the citizens rejoice!*Let the flags be flown, the toasts be made, and the little snack-sized cheeses be eaten! Huzzah!

...Who am I? Indeed, who is anyone? Do any of us really know ourselves? Can we...Bah. My mind skipped a groove again. At any rate, no, I'm not a citizen... so far. I'm just freeloading around here, since no one wants to kick me out. And no, I don't think you know me... I just said "Erik" because tha...

Quote:Well, their styles are mostly similar, but Erik also sometimes says things Raynor would never say...I dunno if it's so much any similarity of style as the fact that he has a Raynor picture sitting there. Because it's there to see, maybe that's how I visualize him... though whether that's a goo...

I just realized that whenever I read Erik's posts, I hear Jim Raynor speaking the words in my head (having played StarCraft before, and indeed recently, I am familiar with the voice). It's really strange, because I usually just read and understand; I don't typically imagine the voice of the typist.N...

NnnnnNNNGGGGAAAAH! I'm not a member of Delvenus and I applied but I have to wait to be approved but I don't want to miss ALL of the discussion because I always wanted to take part in a world-building thingie and I already have ideas and I want to help and it's not fair that I can't get in yet becaus...

Eh, I understand. No hard feelings, I'll just have to figure out another way to use the pictures. Or else cram them into the sig in a fashion that doesn't make it excessively huge. --Shyriath

Quote:1. No long sigs. And especially no large graphics in sigs. We will edit or delete posts that have violated this. If you think your sig MIGHT be to long... it proly is. We prefer no longer than 4 lines.. this includes the graphic...*Removes most of his sig, then... wondering where the heck he's...

Spelling good. Typing classes bad. It is entirely possible to type fast without training... I do it all the time!Of course, I make hiseous spelling mistakes sometimes, but I'm obsessive over spelling, so I do a quick look at everything I type to try to get most of the errors. --Shyriath & PalsShyria...

How I speak depends on who I talk to. I live in Maryland (which is a Mid-Atlantic state, rather than New England... or so I've been told, so DC probably wouldn't be New England either). When I'm talking to the people I'm most comfortable around... family, friends, the dog, etc... I'm nearly dialect-...

Ah, but the fun doesn't stop there! The micronation and/or RP (we still haven't decided which it is yet, or if it'll be a bit of both) that I'm working on is called 'Shirlan'! And, to make it even more complicated, if Shirlan turns out to be at least somewhat micronationish, then the territory we're...

Let's hear it for experimentation!...But I still don't think a child could make do with just writing. Chinese characters represent ideas, true, but those ideas already exist as words, even if the words are different in different dialects.Considering this, it occurs to me that there may not even BE a...

What you're referring to are the Japanese kanji (I think that's what they're called); they're borrowed symbols from Chinese, and they work in a similar manner. You do have a point, actually... they don't represent sounds as such. I mean, they're pronounced a certain way in each language, but they re...

Sorry for the delay... rushing about all over the place these days...Firstly, thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it. I may join, but then again, I may form my own micronation if I can. All depends on how things go.Now, to the speech!There's no reason why sign language couldn't be written. I would ...

*Ahem*Not a citizen here, just yer random micronational enthusiast cruising through. If I'm doing something wrong in posting here, by any chance, just go ahead and delete this... but, language being an interest of mine, I felt the need to respond here.Acquiring language is, indeed, a vital thing for...
