qep'a'rajvaD QujwIj
DI'vI' Hol vIlo'mo' SatlhIj.
I made a huge pile of plastic pIqaD letters, and intended to make some sort
of rules chart to go with a simplified sort of table-top 'Sentence Scrabble'
game for qep'a'. I also was going to make the Modern pIqaD-to-Romanized
tlhIngan Hol letter chart display to go with it (I believe the only way to
learn this swoopy-curvy set of glyphs is to sculpt them. Over and over and
over and....)
The idea was to divide into 2 or 3 teams, everybody scoops handfuls of
letters from a big bowl or something, and see which team can come up with the
longest/most number of syntactically-correct sentences in a set length of
time. (I envision if the more 'alpha' of the 'friends of Maltz' could lead
teams, it could really spice things up) Also, semantic/pragmatic creative
license in constructing these sentences could become pretty humorous.
I made lots of extra vowels and glottal stops. But I never had time to make
the chart or rules sheets.
Is there anyone going to qep'a' interested in trying to make a go of this
game, so that I can snail mail it in time? It would not take up too much room
in the luggage, as it's just a quart-size Ziplock baggie full of loose inch
and half plastic letters. After qep'a they'd be donated to KLI for making
signs or something, or perhaps some creatively inclined KLI member could keep
them if they promised to use a good portion of them to promote the KLI in
some way. Let Lawrence decide.
