Who Can Make The Most CURSED CONLANG? (CCC3)

The rules are different this time in almost every way, so time travelers be warned: this is for 2024's Cursed Conlang Circus 3!

Translation Texts for Convenient Copy/Pasting:
Option 1:
“About three things I was absolutely positive: First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him—and I didn’t know how potent that part might be—that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

Option 2:
‘Hark! It was ruled by Agamashuya and His son Gu Sabah: Tian practices against the lesser side of the invisible origin of light, beset by cosmetic prohibitions of silence and restraint; for Ngu, a slave to creativity, shall make inspection and certification prior to confirmation of Najva Guns’ official status. Deny thine humanity: There are no politics in real life.’

Have fun, bring me your most disturbing creations! Just remember the 10 minute explanation length for your official submission video. If you have more to say you can make as many videos on the subject as you'd like.

If you have questions, preferably navigate to the #ccc3 channel on the Discord and ask away there

youtube keeps recommending this video to me even though it only has 3k views and i’m not even into conlangs… i think it knows this is about to be my next hyperfixation.

"all of the best submissions in previous years have been very long videos"

this thing, Dondurmaca, Radiator (how did it get to the top 10), Geolang, Stendansk, Atoki Maso, tiduna, xalAn, etc. have left the chat

YES!!! I absolutely LOVE this! I wish I could actually get involved in this cursedness (not to win or anything, just to show of my “masterpiece”), but I lack the resources necessary. I will be viewing these CCC3 videos however for my sheer entertainment. :)

[Dr._Geno]

man I hate having ADHD but also love it, because I probably never would have started making a language if not for these, but I also haven't worked on my ccc submision for at least half a year now.

[JohnSmith-ofgu]

Forget about E3, C3 is the biggest event of the year for us! Harsh lessons have been learned in the arduous march of last year, here's hoping for greater glory!
You sound traumatized in your reading of the Twilight script. Also, you labeled both texts as "option #1".

[stephenkramer]

Yea! Yea! And a thousand times, yea! Onward conlanging soldiers, marching on to war! With the curse of Agma going on before!

[lyricalcarpenter]

"i've come to make an announcement" lmao

[chrisheartman]

I come from the O'eaia submission. I discovered this contest THROUGH O'eaia and ZeWei's work. Their video is so cool, I swear.

[Muhammed_English]

I searched for this channel to make a suggestion but was faced with this surprise! I can't wait to see what people will come up with.

Anyway here is my challenge:
First, find another conlanger like you and make sure you both have conlangs the other doesn't know anything about. Then you take turns teaching each other your conlangs.
When teaching, you're not allowed to use any language other than your conlang but images and other clues are allowed. Also, be honest and try teaching as well as you can!
Then it's up to you when to stop, but when you're done, the one who can reverse engineer the other's conlang wins.

I initially had this idea with natural languages. I wanted to see two people slowly building up a dictionary using this "pure" method.

[noahnaugler]

well, my only ongoing project probably won't be done until ccc7

[Funhaus_Frk]

tempted to actually participate in this, this time

[BannersglareTheDreamWriter]

I hope the Cursed Conlang Circus continues to improve and evolve. I am confident that I will make a submission.
Also, I never knew why some videos can only be heard through one channel. It's easy to fix, for you just need to copy the audio and switch the channel of that copy.

[tricolorcircle]

I like the fact that 1 of the optional themes are not required in your conlang

[IAmBene]

I can't decide if I want to make a completely now conlang, or completely rework my Agma Schwa language to be just ŋə. I mean, I'm going to make ŋə anyway, I've been wanting to make another youtube video since... well last CCC, so I might make a video about it, but I also feel like I should be more creative for CCC3...

[theaschole]

Hello! I am very excited to participate in this circus of esoteric conlangery. But I did notice an error in the second translation text option, the "Hark! It was ruled by Agamashuya" one, specifically the clause "Deny thine humanity...". "Thine" was used as a noun form of the 2nd person possessive pronoun, aka "yours" in Early Modern (Shakespearean) English. It was also used as a form of the 2nd person possessive pronoun before a vowel. In this case, "thy" would be used as a replacement for "thine", because "Deny yours humanity" is ungrammatical in English, I believe the intended meaning was "Deny your humanity." There is a chance that I am wrong about this, and I am very excited to see all of the insane creations brought up by this event.

[masela]

please let ccc become this long running thing where conlangers keep coming together to make goofy things

[the_unforseen]

Well here we go again, this time I caught it on time lol.

[Dawncubed]

Time to make cursed sign languages again :3
