    Following up on my previous comment: I've shown my friends and they love it. My roommate was laughing hysterically the whole time. But what I didn't expect was: I mentioned the Cursed Conlang Circus in a conversation with my grandparents recently with a really barebones description because of course they didn't know what a constructed language was. But then they wanted an example to make sure they understood me correctly so I showed them this, and my grandparents absolutely loved it.

    Dear sir,
    Your usage of both and in the codes indicating a pigeon's pattern when there is no reason for such a choice, has caused me an unexpected degree of injury, given the outright horrible written standards employed by some of the other codes in the CCC3 compilation. For this, I will congratulate you on a job well done.
    As to your demonstration, should one not use a means of motorized transportation to reach the location of release of the chosen pigeon expediently, or does your fine mustache merely grow at an abnormal rate?
    In regards to some of the information presented in these recordings, I would like to say that it came as a devastating blow when I first learnt that birds are, in fact, mechanised intelligence-gathering units employed by the government. But the knowledge that women are not real, is certainly a revelation that is much harder to take in stride. I weep with this knowledge you have supplied to me, and I am afraid I might come to reject it entirely, for how can one live with such a horrible truth?
    Lastly, I need to inform you that your excellent strategy of changing monikers every eight-to-twelve business days has, unfortunately, failed. This can be demonstrated by looking any one of them up in the index of any modern-day encyclopedia. You will, however, be relieved to hear that no person, as far as I can ascertain, has so far connected all your aliases to one identity, nor have they deduced your ties to MI-5 or covert operations.
    Good luck on the field,
    I wait with bated breath for any further reports you may yet produce regarding encrypted or obfuscated communications.

    7:21 "women are not real", says the womanly narrator... Then again, misdirection is important for espionage. This is a wild linguistic ride, impressive info density. Plus I likely the light-hearted ribbing at the implied (non-)development of British civilization.

      @@JohnSmith-of2gu ah, but you see, it is now yourself who has been misdirected! For while I’d love to pretend I was being femme for strategic purposes, I’m actually just a transgender twink who hasn’t had any HRT… which can suck when you’re desperately trying to channel an upstanding cis gentleman from the mid 1900s (and you’re not Natasha Hodgson). Though if you wanna talk about non-development of the British civilisation, hoooboy do I have some pointers for improvement in that realm huh
      I’m glad the info density was a plus, I felt like it perhaps felt a little rushed so that’s reassuring (which is because by the time I was editing it _was_ rushed, but I was also terrified of leaving gaps and getting disqualified after all my hard work, and I tend to really overcorrect when I get nervous :’D)

    Are there more resources to allow us to write in this conlang? specifically the ability to generate the graphics necessary.
    Also i notice that a quarter of the lexicon has no meaning assigned. Is there a way to locally assign it for the sake of brevity as to not require using loan words and proper nouns repeatedly during a conversation? also what does the rng number mean in the excel sheet?

      The quarter left open is just words I haven’t defined yet, I’m sure if I were to continue with this I’d find definitions for all of them. RNG is just the way I shuffled the definitions fufhfjhfjhfjhfifjd that’s a peek behind the curtain. Maybe with more time and energy the order would have been more deliberate.

      @@UhOhItsDorian how were the existing assets made? i assume a table of all possible ones exists somewhere, even if its missing rarer modifiers like foot feathers for some pairs.
      There was another conlang i saw that allowed words to be variables like in programming, so i think it would be a good addition since the way english is encoded seems a weak point if you have to spell out proper nouns that way every time. Maybe juveniles could signify variable asignment when used on empty nouns, with secondary modifiers increasing the memory without having to use foot digits
