All before Rule 1 was added.

Asimov did that whole Rule Zero thing Thnig years ago.

So it's RTFM then.

The 0th Rule: You are all here for my amusement.

You still need to add "Fremen" to the language list.

Done.

What about Islamiyat?

That's just a future dialect of Arabic, too.

(We don't really have enough examples of it, do we, to even get a feel for what it's like? FH gives us enough Fremen Arabic to get an idea of what kind of changes have occurred in it—not many/not enough for the amount of time that has passed, so we pretty much have to assume something like the Encyclopedia explanation, that at some point the wild Fremen RMs had exerted some restorative effect on the language of the community based on their knowledge from Other Memory. The BT don't have OM, so presumably their Arabic would be a very different critter, all things being equal.)

Odrade looked ahead at Waff's back. Plodding. It appeared to come naturally to
him. She recalled that he called Sheeana "Alyama." Another confirming
linguistic insight into Waff's Great Belief. It meant "Blessed One." The
Tleilaxu had kept an ancient language not only alive but unchanged.

(That's HERETICS, not Hunters )

Added description and examples of "personal attacks".

Ach nein! Mein gummi-hühnchen ist kaput.

Yeah, well the "unchanged" bit is what makes it fiction.

(That's HERETICS, not Hunters )

Right. Hunters is HuoD, the vomit sound.

(Some things are better left unknown ... like how exactly he broke it. )

Should the no pornography rule say forward all material to Freak?

Rob

You mean for vetting, right?

Rob

You can forward me anything. If you have something that is questionable, just make it a link instead of an image.

Added "no spam" and some other stuff to the rules.

Oh, I don't doubt it. The editing must have been clever. Regardless, it was the most disgusting internet meme to which I've yet been exposed

Yuck, worse than Tub Girl and Goatsy??? Think I'll just avoid that one....

Try Blue Waffle and This is Not Sexy into I feel lucy in Google. I swear to god I nearl retched.

Just what I needed, more unrequited bile splashing onto my palette. Enough of the rotten.com bullshit, If I want to see open sores and vomit encrusted chins and navels I'll go to the Gorbals or Govan. :seriously:

Omphalos is the Judge of the Change.

DO NOT OFFEND HIM

Sandrider is WATERMASTER

If he says so, your water will be poured on the sand.

Read the rules.

My name is Omphalos. And I am the Judge of the Change!

Man, I like the sound of that. Very Michael Douglassey presidential, don't you think?
