3ungle Antipodean inc. Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2008.04.17 11:48:00 - [31] Hey Uze Guyz, Stop posting and get back to work. To the Topic, LOL.. Way to rip apart someones dream at looking cool in latin! Liberate Tutume, ex Jna!!
Jin Gle Gallente The Topal Corporation	Posted - 2008.04.17 11:49:00 - [32] Best thread I've seen here in a long time! Also I would like to join the "gentleman's" corp on the condition that tophats and monocoles will be added to the members avatars. Space Lion
Tchell Dahhn Amarr Deny Reality	Posted - 2008.04.17 11:50:00 - [33] Originally by: CCP Atropos Originally by: TheBlueMonkey Excelent post, This really makes me want to start a corporation for the distinguished gentleman of eve. One where we fight with valor, finesse and moxie. One where the "smack talk" consists of phrases such as "thou art a braggart and a cad". Oh such a marvelous dream. I fear applications may be some what lacking though. What an awesome idea! I'm in! Atropos, any chance you can provide us with a new high slot module, so that we can finally read... "TheBlueMonkey's White Glove strikes you perfectly, slapping you for 10.0 damage."? The Tchell Dahhn Manifesto

Ka Jolo Ministry of Destruction Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.17 11:57:00 - [35] Edited by: Ka Jolo on 17/04/2008 12:05:33 Edited by: Ka Jolo on 17/04/2008 12:04:33 Originally by: jna The most charitable translation of your current alliance name is "Seize it! The University." How about, "University, seize!" Is this inadequate just because the verb is necessarily transitive? Or are vocative nouns syntactically distinguished from the nominative in Latin? This thread is only slightly less entertaining than the classic ROMANES EUNT DOMUS.
Kaar Art of War	Posted - 2008.04.17 11:58:00 - [36] Originally by: Ryoji Tanakama Weni widi wici, as Caesar purportedly had such a speech impediment :D Welease Wodger!
Malcanis R.E.C.O.N. Insurgency	Posted - 2008.04.17 11:59:00 - [37] Originally by: Prez21 Edited by: Prez21 on 16/04/2008 11:59:44 Originally by: jna <nerd-rage> As an ex-GAP-year Latin Teacher.... Carpe Universitas is presumably supposed to mean "Seize the Universe", "Seize Everything" or possibly even "Seize the University", all of which are acceptable translations of Universitas. But... Universitas is 3rd Declension, Nominative Singular (Feminine incidentally, declines like Libertas). In the film "Dead Poets Society", Robin Williams' character whispered Carpe Diem to his class. Not Carpe Dies. And do you know why? No you don't. But I'll tell you. Dies (like Universitas) is Nominative Singular, whereas Diem (like Universitatem) is Accusative Singular. Carpe (Imperative) requires Universitatem (Object, Accusative). This should be your alliance name. Your current name is meaningless and ungrammatic - just random words thrown together. You may as well have named it "Flow Trumpet" or "Kill Waterfall" for all the sense it makes. It's very much like saying "I is great" instead of "I am great". The most charitable translation of your current alliance name is "Seize it! The University." Surely the thing about using Latin to make yourself look clever is that you should actually be clever as well? Queue posts from [SEIZE] about how this is actually post-modern, ironic Latin. </nerd-rage> And no, I'm not an alt. This char (and jnb) are my mains. I'm a highsec carebear, and you can therefore safely dismiss everything in this poast. When you was typing this, did you actualy think people would care? I dont see what this post has to do with anyhing, so what there name doesnt mean anything cool, im pretty sure no one cares and your just trying to show off the fact that you understand latin better than everyone else and instead you just end up looking quite sad and pathetic Pot, kettle...

Batolemaeus Caldari Free-Space-Ranger Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2008.04.17 12:07:00 - [40] Originally by: jna lol. Well presumably it's supposed to be "Bite Me". Which would be Morde Me (or Me Morde). 16th Century church Latin, you could possibly get away with Morde Mi instead of Me. Morsus Mihi deconstructed... Morsus (Nominative Singular Noun from mordere - the infinitive verb that forms the imperative "bite", which would be morde). Mihi (Dative singular)... So Morsus Mihi sort-of means "A Bite. To me." /me stems the flow of nerd rage You will have to admit that "Morde Me" does NOT sound cool. At least we didn't by accident pick a name that sounds cool, but is an ancient curse or something. :)

Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2008.04.17 12:17:00 - [41] "O'er sky and 'cross stars I hath persued thee oh foul jabbewocky, prepare thy soul for the divine retribution for I shall smite thee back to the deep abyss..." Oh...wait...your in my corp already.
Verite Rendition Caldari F.R.E.E. Explorer Atrum Tempestas Foedus	Posted - 2008.04.17 12:24:00 - [42] While you're deconstructing Latin names, how about our alliance name?
Trathen	Posted - 2008.04.17 12:24:00 - [43] LOL. Thanks for sakchat bingo, too.
Eros Fama	Posted - 2008.04.17 12:27:00 - [44] shoot anyone who uses bad latin in thier names I say. ooops
Ordon Gundar Caldari Impending Doom Inc. The Crimson Federation	Posted - 2008.04.17 12:33:00 - [45] You have got to watch this! Absolute class! I studied Latin at school (I am only 30, we still had to study Latin at Grammar Schools in the UK up until recently)! This hits home 100% Long live Monty Python! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIAdHEwiAy8
TheBlueMonkey Gallente BlueBlock	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:05:00 - [46] I'm going to have to petition for monocles and top hats aren't I? Finding a blueprint for a fine cane may have to wait for ambulation. How ever crass this may be, BlueBlock are currently recruiting.

Corpsecrow	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:38:00 - [48] This seems to be the place to ask...does anal-retentive require a hyphen?
Corpsecrow	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:40:00 - [49] ...and for good measure... "how like an unstanched wench thou art"
WisdomLikeSilence Gunfleet Logistics Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:40:00 - [50] It is actually supposed to mean "Sieze it! The University! cur me persecuris?

I have done my best to erase the many repetitions of all four of the verb conjugations amare, monere, audire etc etc
Wendat Huron Stellar Solutions	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:48:00 - [53] Misguided as they may be the alliance name is still in the top 10 percentile. SOLAR FLEET, XxLegion0fDEATHXxXXxXxX and the likes, the russians really don't fare well in the real alphabet world do they. These forums are FUBAR, upgrade this decade!
Plave Okice Universal Securities	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:49:00 - [54] Originally by: CCP Hammer Now I really want to create the Flow Trumpet Alliance. I was just sending out a corp mail telling my members, to get ready to drop roles and join our new Flow Trumpet [FLUMP] Corp.

CCP Eris Discordia	Posted - 2008.04.17 13:52:00 - [56] I shall join the corporation and will smack in style of the HBO series Rome. Are you men, or women, because then I shall have you raped by dogs! or any variation of that one. Pink Dread has been hijacked

isdisco3 Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2008.04.17 14:36:00 - [59] quality thread delivers. i want deconstructions of all latin-based alliances.

I fear applications may be some what lacking though. What an awesome idea! I'm in! For some reason I’m having visions of a fleet flying in the formation of a giant top hat, shouting "CHARGE!, and last one on a killmail buys the brandy!" in local, while slowly approaching the target at a puny 500 m/s so as not to be seen with a crooked hat. Actually if I saw that coming towards me I’d probably warp out
