Motto

[eproxy]

I was thinking that Morkin/FoM/Corelth need motto's... something catchy yet meaningful. Something for people to immediately identify us by, I've got some initial ideas just to see what you think and get ideas rolling.

For Corleth; Oderint Dum Metuant (lit. "Let them hate, so long as they fear").

For Morkin; fiat iustitia et pereat mundus (lit. "Let justice be done, even should the world perish").

For FoM; Orta recens quam pura nites (lit. "Newly risen, how brightly you shine").

I have a love for latin mottos rivalled only by my lack of actual ability to translate them myself.

Nice, exalts!

Yes, good idea.

Not to get too carried away with this but I also thought each Campaign/War could be given a small motto too, something to convey why we went to war. In the case of the possible Loki war something like one of the following;

lux et veritas "light and truth"
per veritatem vis "throught truth, strength"
veritate et virtute "with truth and courage"
fortis est veritas "truth is strong"

These help to signify this colony dispute war over others simply because we know Loki lied and we value the truth above all else (or at least I do ^^).

In the case of Tyrant perhaps use something like these;

e pluribus unum "out of many, one"
falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus "false in one matter, false in everything"
in flagrante delicto (roughly:) "caught red handed" (but see here for a more accurate translation)

We used to give code names to our campaigns back in .uk, and I guess its just a matter of time before someone comes up with a catchy name. I think the mottos tie up very nicely with that idea!

oh, and Matija doesnt hang around this forum very much, but he'd be the first to add:
"in vino veritas" which is very try! Not so Ashimar? ;D

In wine there is truth : ) I remember that from looking through the list yesterday, unfortunately it didn't make the short list.

[AeroS]

how about " one for all, and all for AeroS". just a thought.

[Cesium]

I don't know... There's something about Latin mottos that makes them quite corny. :? There's also something about them that makes them cool but I don't know if that outweighs it.
