Re: CHAT: ConScripts

Since I'm new here every time I post I feel like I am obligated to search
through the archives to see if I'm really saying anything new. After looking
at the first 50 hits, I decided that I will not be doing that anymore.
Actually, I'm quite sure there was a thread on conscripts a few weeks ago,
but I didn't follow it.

I was wondering if online dictionaries had our little conlanging neologisms
in them.  I was a bit surprised that one dictionary had 'conscript' but not
'conlang', until I read:

...: a conscripted person (as a military recruit)

Oh well.

We should have a most creative writing system contest. We need more
non-linear scripts (how many interpretations of that are there?). (although
it seems that anything human readable cannot escape being somehow
transformable into a sequential...) I remember seeing this conlang with ~30?
different conscripts, all of them very exotic. Unfortunately, I can't find
it anymore.
