From 3102a148022b845d9b5393c293c0481132943979 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 16:21:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add Between Replies (/life/), a one-life game of the Contact Era Born at this moment of 2219 somewhere in the Solar System, picked by population, you live one life while Ross 128 b answers every 21.96 years. Places and jobs come from the InterImm book; words come from the grid script lexicon and are drawn in our symbol. CN and EN pages, nav and home cards, tests for the rules.

A small game · one life

You will be born at this moment of 2219, and you do not get to pick where: Earth, most likely, or the Moon, a space city, one of the eleven cities of Mars, or a moon of Jupiter or Saturn. Every answer from Ross 128 b takes 21.96 years to come round. How many you hear depends on where you are born and how long you live.

+
+
+ + +
+

By people: as in reality, almost certainly Earth. By world: pick a world at random first, then a place in it by population.

+
+ + +
+
+
+
+ + + +
+
+
+

How it is worked out

+

Rules and sources

+
+
+

Birthplace. Earth's population is the UN World Population Prospects 2024 projection for 2100 (about 10.2 billion), held flat after that. The populations of the Moon, the space cities, the eleven Mars cities, Ceres, Ganymede, Callisto and Titan are game assumptions: the InterImm book only says a city has over 10,000 people and that Procyon City is "close to a mid-sized Earth city". The game assumes the same birth rate everywhere.

+

Lifespan. Based on the UN's life expectancy at birth for 2100 (about 82). Mars takes a few years off for radiation (the book notes its weak magnetic field); Titan, with thick air and little radiation, adds one. These shifts are assumptions.

+

Replies. The signal was made public on 5 October 2219 and the first reply went out the same day. The game assumes both sides answer the day a letter arrives, so answers land in 2241, 2263, 2285 and 2307, 21.96 years apart. That is the fastest case; the archive only calls it the earliest possible answer.

+

Your words. After each answer you can put forward one word from the translating machine's lexicon (the grid script, a first draft in 2219), drawn in our symbol ×. Most proposals are not used; lexicon taggers, diplomats and archivists have a better chance. These odds are assumptions too.

+

Places and work come from the InterImm book: the city circles of Mars, Waterfall City and Starry Night City, Vertical's Jupiter-Saturn route, the Mars Home Plan and the book's list of professions. Great conjunction years follow the real sky (one every 19.86 years).

回音之间

+

你会在 2219 年的此刻出生，地点不由你选：可能是地球，也可能是月球、太空城、火星十一城里的一座，或者木星、土星的卫星。罗斯128 b 的每一次回答，都要隔 21.96 年才到。一辈子能听到几次，要看你生在哪里、活多久。

+
+
+ + +
+

按人口：和真实一样，几乎一定生在地球。按世界：先随机挑一个世界，再在那里按人口挑。

+
+ + +
+
+
+
+ + + +
+
+
+

怎么算的

+

规则与来源

+
+
+

出生地。地球人口取联合国《世界人口展望 2024》对 2100 年的预测（约 102 亿），并假设之后保持不变。月球、太空城、火星十一城、谷神星、木卫三、木卫四和泰坦的人口都是游戏的假设：《星际移民之书》只说过人口过万才算城市，南河城“接近地球中等城市”。游戏假设每个地方的出生率都一样。

+

寿命。以联合国对 2100 年的出生时预期寿命（约 82 岁）为准。火星辐射较强（书中提到火星磁场微弱），所以减几年；泰坦大气浓厚、辐射低，加一年。这些增减都是假设。

+

回音。信号在 2219 年 10 月 5 日公之于众，第一封回信同一天发出。游戏假设双方每次都在收到信的当天回答，所以回答在 2241、2263、2285、2307 年到达，每次相隔 21.96 年。这是最快的情况，档案页只说这是“最早可能”的回音。

+

你提的词。每次回答到达后，你可以从翻译机的词库（网格文字，2219 年的初稿）里提一个词，用我们的符号 × 画出来。大多数提议都用不上；做词库标注、外交和档案工作的人，被采纳的机会大一些。这些概率也是假设。

+

地方和工作都来自《星际移民之书》：火星的城市圈、瀑布城和星夜城、火纵线的木土线路、火星家园计划，以及书里的行业列表。木土合相的年份按真实天象推算（每 19.86 年一次）。

You will be born at this moment of 2219, and you do not get to pick where: Earth, most likely, or the Moon, a space city, one of the eleven cities of Mars, or a moon of Jupiter or Saturn. Every answer from Ross 128 b takes 21.96 years to come round. How many you hear depends on where you are born and how long you live.

By people: as in reality, almost certainly Earth. By world: pick a world at random first, then a place in it by population.

How it is worked out

-

Rules and sources

-
-
-

Birthplace. Earth's population is the UN World Population Prospects 2024 projection for 2100 (about 10.2 billion), held flat after that. The populations of the Moon, the space cities, the eleven Mars cities, Ceres, Ganymede, Callisto and Titan are game assumptions: the InterImm book only says a city has over 10,000 people and that Procyon City is "close to a mid-sized Earth city". The game assumes the same birth rate everywhere.

-

Lifespan. Based on the UN's life expectancy at birth for 2100 (about 82). Mars takes a few years off for radiation (the book notes its weak magnetic field); Titan, with thick air and little radiation, adds one. These shifts are assumptions.

-

Replies. The signal was made public on 5 October 2219 and the first reply went out the same day. The game assumes both sides answer the day a letter arrives, so answers land in 2241, 2263, 2285 and 2307, 21.96 years apart. That is the fastest case; the archive only calls it the earliest possible answer.

-

Your words. After each answer you can put forward one word from the translating machine's lexicon (the grid script, a first draft in 2219), drawn in our symbol ×. Most proposals are not used; lexicon taggers, diplomats and archivists have a better chance. These odds are assumptions too.

-

Places and work come from the InterImm book: the city circles of Mars, Waterfall City and Starry Night City, Vertical's Jupiter-Saturn route, the Mars Home Plan and the book's list of professions. Great conjunction years follow the real sky (one every 19.86 years).

你会在 2219 年的此刻出生，地点不由你选：可能是地球，也可能是月球、太空城、火星十一城里的一座，或者木星、土星的卫星。罗斯128 b 的每一次回答，都要隔 21.96 年才到。一辈子能听到几次，要看你生在哪里、活多久。

按人口：和真实一样，几乎一定生在地球。按世界：先随机挑一个世界，再在那里按人口挑。

出生地。地球人口取联合国《世界人口展望 2024》对 2100 年的预测（约 102 亿），并假设之后保持不变。月球、太空城、火星十一城、谷神星、木卫三、木卫四和泰坦的人口都是游戏的假设：《星际移民之书》只说过人口过万才算城市，南河城“接近地球中等城市”。游戏假设每个地方的出生率都一样。

-

寿命。以联合国对 2100 年的出生时预期寿命（约 82 岁）为准。火星辐射较强（书中提到火星磁场微弱），所以减几年；泰坦大气浓厚、辐射低，加一年。这些增减都是假设。

-

回音。信号在 2219 年 10 月 5 日公之于众，第一封回信同一天发出。游戏假设双方每次都在收到信的当天回答，所以回答在 2241、2263、2285、2307 年到达，每次相隔 21.96 年。这是最快的情况，档案页只说这是“最早可能”的回音。

-

你提的词。每次回答到达后，你可以从翻译机的词库（网格文字，2219 年的初稿）里提一个词，用我们的符号 × 画出来。大多数提议都用不上；做词库标注、外交和档案工作的人，被采纳的机会大一些。这些概率也是假设。

-

地方和工作都来自《星际移民之书》：火星的城市圈、瀑布城和星夜城、火纵线的木土线路、火星家园计划，以及书里的行业列表。木土合相的年份按真实天象推算（每 19.86 年一次）。
