Since the last one was deleted for the board's sake, I'm making this thread to hopefully keep the game going.
I might come back and edit in some general rules/guidelines for anyone who might want to join in the future and who wasn't familiar with the old thread(s).

(How does this game work?)
At the beginning of a round, Person A provides a word, including both a phonetic transcription in the IPA and some sort of orthographic representation. For example, I believe this was the beginning of the current round:

New word:
<honorificabilitudinitatibus>
[hɔnoːrɪfɪkaːbɪlɪtuːdɪnɪˈtaːtɪbʊs]
Person B then takes a turn, applying a few sound changes to the word and showing both the "before" and "after":
The game continues like this until someone decides to start a new round by providing a new word. In my experience, it's customary to wait until the current round has already been going on for at least a few pages of the thread before trying to start a new one. Also, it usually makes sense to wait until the word has been reduced to just one syllable and not much more can be done with it before introducing a new word.
Players can change the orthographic representation of the word as well. This has never been a strict rule, but again, in my experience, it's customary to wait at least 5-10 turns after the orthographic representation has been changed before changing it again.

Therefore, language gets rid of schwa diphtongs by replacing them with /ɛ/ and /ʌ/, with eventually palatalizing or labializing of preceding consonant.
Also, palatal nasal is lost after front vowels or turned into /ŋ/ after back and central vowels, being retained only in coda. This cause different coda nasals to become phonemic. /dʒ/ and /ɟʝ/ merge to /dʑ/, and /tʃ/ > /tɕ/ happens analogically. 2 (low) tone merges with 1 (very low) tone.
Low rising becomes low, i: becomes ɪC (now contrasting with i). Falling has a higher allophone (53) in open syllables, and a lower allophone (41) in closed syllables.
æi > æ: > e:
h > ŋ next to nasal vowels.
Initials
/m n ŋ/
/p t ts ʈʂ ȶɕ k/
/b d/
/f s ʂ ɕ h/
/β l r ɻ j/
Front vowels cause palatalization of preceding consonants: velar/glottal > palatal, alveolar > palatoalveolar, labial > labial + palatal. Coda /s/ > /h/. Coda /t/ > /ʔ/. Diphtong stress is placed on second element if both elements have same height, and are reduced afterwards. Schwa turns to /i/, /u/ or /a/ depending on preceding consonant.
<nìnghiyįjihj>
[ˈɲîŋɸiˌjìːʃiʃ] > [ˌɲiŋ˥˩hi.ˈiː˩ʒiʃ]
/ɸ/ > /h/. Glides are dropped between vowels, with next vowel lengthened. Fricatives voiced between vowels. Stress falls on third last mora, and every next third morae gets secondary stress.
