Description

Broken phone is a Lojbanistani version of Chinese Whispers. Here is the telegraphic description of how it works:

• Take a list of people
• Choose a text
• The first person on the list translates it into lojban and sends it on to the next
• The message gets forwarded all the way round, being translated back and forth betwen Lojban and English
• Some coordinator gets everything together and posts it on the mailing list, the wiki and wherever else he thinks is convenient.

N.B.: The intermediate language doesn't have to be English.

Broken phone rounds

• Round one (editor greg.)
  • greg's comments on round 1
• Round two (editor .kreig.daniyl.)
  • I've been busy, my comments are coming when I have time to comment on the later rounds.
  • rab.spir's comments on it are availible on the boste
• Round three (editor xorxes)
• Round four (editor: And Rosta?) And maybe this time some non-English languages?
  • I'll try to get one going soonish (today is 8 Nov), but I prefer it to be all-English, because it's easier to track changes from version to version. --And Rosta
  • Round four completed (22/8/02 -- we did it in less than a year!). --And Rosta
• Round five (editor la xod)
• Round six (editor .kreig.daniyl.
