Ok.  List of participants new since my last mail:

Steg Belsky - Rokbeigalmki
Aidan Grey
H. S. Teoh
Irina Rempt - Valdyan
D. Tse - OrCo
John Roth - Eloshtan
Mario Bonassin
James O'Connell - Elenyo
Henrik Theiling - Tyl Sjok
David Bell - amman iar
Mia Soderquist - Míjador or other
Sally Caves - Teonaht, presumably?
David Peterson - Megdevi
Sylvia Sotomayor - Klen
David Stokes - Diom
Andreas Johansson - Tairezazh?

On the text - I've taken a fairly not-obscure-at-all bit of the
Silmarillion, partly because I want to use ornate Nrit verb tenses that it
would allow me to do.  It's prose, but can be broken up into bits of
prose-poem for convenience; in the character of the text as a whole, it's
very rhythmic and deliberate and can be easily divided.

For those who want to avoid Tolkien, I can only suggest that you be late in
the translation, and hope that it's far enough changed that your translation
won't be colored.  I suppose I'll have to just pretend that I don't know the
English, being the endpoints of the relay and all that.

How does one go about ordering the players, precisely?  Do we simply place
people at random, or what?
