How come someone who's running can put multiple cons? —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 19:30, April 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Go ahead and do it yourself too, as long as its not across all it has satisfying weight The Emperor Zelos 21:15, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am rather confused by the rules here. So if one's running they cannot "vote", but can put the "cons", and those have "statistical weight"? That's weird, and makes this all look like a crap shooting contest :( :( Adagio burner 21:58, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Elementary dear Watson, You may not post a pro vote on yourself nor put con votes on everyone else, as that will be considered a form of self voting, and if you're not nominated and vote down all as well it still will not matter because all are given same minus. You place as a nominee max of 2 cons (or 3 if you want to con yourself for some odd reason) and any amount of pros The Emperor Zelos 22:03, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still not clear. "You may not post a pro vote on yourself nor put con votes on everyone else" seems to contradict with "You place as a nominee max of 2 cons". But whatever, I am not really interested in inventing reasons to hate all conlangs except my own and posting them as cons :( Adagio burner 23:59, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's why you cant vote all to be con, you must always leave one to be either neutral or pro so the relative stats changes The Emperor Zelos 00:12, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can vote on any language except your own.--Koppadasao 22:01, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

The Discussion of Admins voting is now over, in accordance they will vote The Emperor Zelos 13:08, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Funny
I just wanted to say i find it funny that it remains inactive for nearly 2 weeks here then BAAM its all over the place The Emperor Zelos 18:18, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Nominations:
Nominate a language by adding it to the bottom of this list: I am nominating this because I find to be a very unique, nicely sounding/looking and interesting conlang (created by Adagio burner). It is a very good example of a conlang practically completely made up from the ground up. With Dangall featured, I will again nominate Delang, now about to be set in the same world as Dangall. Delang has an easy grammar and pronunciation, making it easier to learn and speak. (No need for your tongue to do contortions, in other words.)--Koppadasao 09:38, March 26, 2010 (UTC) Mis Hio is a close relative to Hi, using the same basic concepts and root dictionary. It does away with long words of Hi, making it a more readable and better looking conlang. After I got some feedback on Hi being hard to read and pronounce I decided that I wanted a language that could be easily learned and used by I many, so now I switched my development efforts to Mis Hio.
 * Hi
 * Delang

 * Qâêr
 * I am nominating this conlang because I find it to be very interesting, uniquely constructed and also a beautiful language with a beautiful script. It is created by akvii and is a very interesting language with many unique features that cannot be seen in languages such the IE family. It is a good conlang and though not yet completed, is a great piece of work and linguistic art.


 * Thiskish
 * I am nominating my conlang because although I am still finishing up on minor grammar (I have moderate and major done), I think it is nice and I can write sentences, making up words and putting them up into the dictionary as I go (except when they are already in the dictionary. I would appreciate input! =) —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:20, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Voting Rules
To make things clear, you can start voting before the 21st and until the last day (28th) change the votings whenever your heart so pleases. You will vote con or pro for a language, you don't have to do both, if you think it has only con then you vote con and describe why its con or pro. The rules will be these thought:
 * 1) Self voting does not count to the total (There are far too few of us to dilute the effect).
 * 2) Pro vote on oneself is self vote
 * 3) Con vote on everyone else is self vote
 * 4) You may vote cons on all but one as a non-nominee, as nominee it is all but two. Pro votes may go to all but ones own conlang
 * 5) Unregistered voters don't count, but are welcome to post comments and such.
 * 6) Try voting what you think looks best, realistic, plausible etc.
 * 7) Bots (ZeBot and Fakultinj) cannot vote at all.

Voting

 * Hi
 * Con: The script [no offence] is an eyesore, seriously the people would be plagued with dyslexia trying to read/write it. vii April 16, 2010
 * Pro: A little bit Latin-sounding, quite efficient. A little heavy on the vowels, but other than that, not half bad. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 01:52, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Delang
 * Pro It already has some speakers as seen by the facebook group, a good variety of diversity in the phonemes and some great examples in the language. Personally I don't like it, but its pretty decent and has some good work on it so pro from me.
 * vii April 18, 2010


 * Mis Hio
 * Con: [At least in my opinion] the way roots and words join together in sentences in confusing in the sense of the letters and words being negated, this makes for confusing reading. I think this could be either explained better or represented in a better way. viiApril 16, 2010
 * I won't put my con here but I tend to find languages with really short words redundant because there are too many spaces. Chinese does not have spaces so I'm fine with that. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 01:52, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Qâêr
 * Pro: The script is beautiful. I like the flow of the strokes. The language is quite vocalic. That makes me believe that it can be a very pleasant language to listen to. Look forward to listening to audio samples if there is any in the future. --Deslee 00:11, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pro: Beautiful script, and it looks very usable. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:32, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pro: Nice script, developing, useful, potential The Emperor Zelos 14:55, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Con: Nice script, but the language is too complex.--Koppadasao 15:03, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hehe you haven't seen much then The Emperor Zelos 15:22, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * What did you think was complex? Any input would be appreciated, though I think Hungarian and Finnish are more complex and they have many natural speakers!;P vii 02:19, April 19 2010
 * Kind of my thought aswell, If he think Qaer is complicated he should see real languages such as native americas, geezes they couldnt learn the language properly until the early teens! XD The Emperor Zelos 16:21, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thiskish
 * Con: Lacking sentence construction details The Emperor Zelos 12:59, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
