also, I just posted the video from our test run on sunday in this new thread, which might shed a little light on how we accomplished it... adjust, tweek, improve, figure out better ways to implement the rules we know so far. It could definitely be done better


also, ikkarus, that's interesting... never read that from the instructions, but maybe I'll have to check over them again... that could be pretty chaotic if the runner is running.

I built my "wall in the path of of the runner" theory based on these lines from the Codex:

I'm not sure which is correct - the requirement to 'turn' seems odd if they are supposed to be the walls of the labyrinth. But the first line quoted by Ikk really could support his interpretation - the members of the wall face the runner and turn to the side to become wall as he/she approaches? Or could they be in the wall but with heads turned to face the runner. And you track the runner with your head, turning until you are passed and then shut up?

Not quite sure now, I think I'm as confused as I was in the beginning.. Obviously not everyone sees it as the same thing, plus we have the issue of translation and whether it was the correct word or context/use of that word.

Gotta make sure we all train the same way...

[GeekDream]

Do we have a direct translation (or two? ) from someone very fluent in Esperanto into English for this rules chapter?

Maybe its worth having someone go over it again to make sure that words like 'turn' are correct before we go any farther with our theories?

Just a thought...

I noticed you were having some issues with the translation, and even though I don't know esperanto I thought it might be useful to read the Spanish version to see if their is a variation in the translation. Here is the Spanish version:

[Hikaro]

I'm by no means fluent or even advanced in Esperanto, but Nicolas and I did the English translation on the Wiki for Chapter 6. I encourage any other Esperantist to check out all the translations on the Wiki for polishing

This is the Lernu.net Esperanto definition of "turni", the verb in the word translated as "start to turn": ekturnighu.

A mini-lesson in Esperanto... There are 3 systems currently in use in Esperanto for typing it.

The first, and preferred system is to use the diacritics: Ĉ ĉ Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Ĵ ĵ Ŝ ŝ Ŭ ŭ

The H system makes the special letters into English-style digraphs with h's. The breve on Ŭ is not represented: Ch ch Gh gh Hh hh Jh jh Sh sh U u

The X system is similar to the H system, except it uses x after a letter to indicate a missing diacritic: Cx cx Gx gx Hx hx Jx jx Sx sx Ux ux

I used the H system since I didn't want to open MS Word for my macros to type Esperanto characters and I hate the way the x system looks.

EDIT: OK, after rereading ariock's post I remember the fourth system. It is adding a ^ before or after a letter that needs a "hat": C^ c^ G^ g^ H^ h^ J^ j^ S^ s^ U u
