nettchelobek1 sent the english text to me instead of Hubi by mistake. You just said you already had that text.

I would have sent it to Hubi, but after Shibbo's posts I didn't know whether you wanted Hubi to do EN -> GE or EO -> GE.

So please send the right text to Hubi not me.


Hehe, oups :oops:

Yeah, Bugi, Hubi, I guess you're easily confusable.

Hmmm, I will send the english text to Hubi.

I hope it will be over before everyone goes on holidays :wink:


Hèhè, too late...I'm leaving tonight.
There's a small chance that I'll have access to the internet, but don't count too much on that!

Au revoir,
Cada


Well, who is going to take it over? This is the last translation :shock:

Probably we should wait for the end of rhe summer and associated holidays

You could ask for people who are there during summer, but I'm afraid they won't be so many... :roll:

I'm here though, you have already one participant :wink:

I'm all for a fifth round, as a participant, because it is harder than I thought to organise and because it's much fun to just play it. :D

I guess we could do a summer one, it would be much slower but we'd have to take only people who are actually here. :wink:

I am confident we will find someone to replace Cada...

No, I already sent the text to Ron...

Ah so technically we're a bit farther than the front page says. Then all we have left is:

Frisian (by Ron) → Italian (by Dminor) → Latin (by Vinaok) → English (by ???)

Yes.

Maybe I'm the last person to notice this, but: that's a nice moment captured in your signature, Nero. :lol: This version doesn't show up literally like this in the first game though. :hmm: Is it a translation of a German part of it? ("Weil die Person, die den Preis macht, dass Eure Majestät in den Himmel eingehen kann, von Sawayama [Sumpfberg] ermordet wurde"?) 8)

Aleco told me about this game... and he suggested that I do the part from Latin... so, like I already posted, I'm willing to do it.

So count me in, if need there be.

:-P

Great! Just PMed you.


Ok, it's cool that the chain has been continuing. :D

This weekend I have moved to a new appartment (1st of July is our national Moving Day here, most renting contracts start on the 1st of July), and I am still in my boxes, still on dial-up Internet (high-speed is to be replugged only Friday! :evil: ). So I might not update the list as promptly and also please remember to send the translated text to the next person on the list. :D
