Darn, just when I thought Ebisédian was the cause of all mischief. :-P
:-P

Actually, I'm kinda changing my idea. I think I'll work on a new,
independent con-world instead. Some things in the Ebisédian con-world
are just too hard to adapt to an Euclidean space, even if it's 4D!

Hehe, perhaps I shouldn't say "discard". The new conlang will just be
independent from Ebisédian, that's what I meant. It's not like I'm
gonna delete the current Ebisédian stuff or anything, y'know. :-)
Besides, I've already decided that the new con-world would be
completely independent of the Ferochromon. It would be (gasp) actually
Euclidean, for once! :-P

(Unless I feel particularly evil and decide to introduce Einsteinian
5D space-time to it... nah, I better not. There was this online guy
somewhere who once had this brilliant idea of writing a 1st person
shooter game that operated in 5D, with the 4th dimension indicated by
color and the 5th by time travel. Needless to say, the process of
trying to actually implement it twisted his brain into a 4D pretzel
and affected his mind in rather scary ways. I should not want to end
up like that![1])

([1] But having said that, I've to admit I *am* the kinda weirdo who
actually enjoys stuff like... this:

I highly suspect the process of creating Ebisédian has already turned
my brain into a pretzel, although I still can't figure out if it's a
regular pretzel or a tetra-pretzel (i.e. a 4D pretzel). I haven't
tried tasting it yet, and something keeps telling me not to try. :-P)

I told my roommate that that's one quote that really should go on
despair.com ... Maybe I should send it in as a suggestion. :-P
