The '''Second Linguifex Relay''' is an upcoming conlang relay, a game of conlingual telephone, on Linguifex. Succeeding the [[First Linguifex Relay|Saola Peadid]] relay, starting in [[Valian]], the second will be written in [[Ris]]. The relaymaster will be [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]]. The '''Second Linguifex Relay''' introduces a periodical change in terminology; this relay will use the terms ''seat'' and ''whisper'' and rather than ''slot'' and ''torch''.

The game is similar to [[w:Chinese Whispers|Chinese Whispers]]. The procedure is simple, you will receive a conlang text, a ''whisper'', from the previous ''seat'' with an interlinear/gloss which you are to translate into your own conlang and add information so that the next person can decipher it and make a new translation. You will have '''48''' hours from the time of having received the whisper to prepare a translation of it into your conlang, gloss it and then send it to the next person in the chain. You are free to include either a glossary and grammar notes or an interlinear (or both!). The choice is up to you, but it is always recommended to at least add an interlinear.

In the event that you fail to whisper within your allotted 48 hours, the turn will skip your seat and go to the next participant.

The starting date will be set after the seats have been taken. Everyone is welcome to partake, but for reasons of convenience, an account on Linguifex is required (as the posting of the material will be on talk pages and such). Every person is restricted to one entry, but the choice of conlang is up to them. In the case that two people chose the same language, a first-come first-served basis will be adopted (unless, say the language creator chooses to join in).

==Signup==
The signup started Wednesday 2013-11-06 and will end when the seats are filled. Seven seats are available from the start, and users may choose any seat still empty. Please note that the number of seats might change due to special requests or an eagerness to begin. Sign up in the next section.
===Seats===
The final seat will be a retranslation into the source conlang, as well as the first translation into English. In conjunction, the original text will be published in English.
*'''First seat''' - [[User:Waahlis|Wåhlis]], relaymaster, with ''[[Ris]]''.
*'''Second seat''' - [[User:Ílchőfti Lēmáthīd|Ílchőfti Lēmáthīd]] with ''[[Netagin]]''.
*'''Third seat''' - [[User:Chrysophylax|Χρυσοφύλαξ]] with ''[[Hirathic]]''.
*'''Fourth seat''' - [[User:Greatbuddha|Greatbuddha]] with ''[[Behru cesik]].
*'''Fifth seat''' - [[User:Dē Graut Bʉr|Dē Graut Bʉr]] with ''[[Bearlandic]]''.
*'''Sixth seat''' - [[User:Darthme|Darthme]] with ''[[Fejãto]]''.
*'''Seventh seat''' - [[User:Fauxlosophe|Faux]] with ''[[Fén Ghír]]''.
*'''Final seat''' - Retranslation into [[Ris]] and [[w:English|English]], as well as publication of the original English text.

==How-to==
Once you've received the conlang text with glosses and all, you create a page called "Second Linguifex Relay/X", where X is your language. Translate and gloss the text into your conlang (try to include an interlinear gloss), and check the '''Seats''' list on this page: Take a look who's next after you and go to their talk page and create a new topic called "Second Linguifex Relay"; and link the page where you keep your translation.
