OK fellas...given all the interest in this upcoming title from Slitherine, we're going to be running a contest and the winner will get a code to the game!
Gus and I are still trying to sort out the details, but its been proposed that each entrant submit their best Latin name with a brief explanation and the best submission, as judged by GH staff, wins!
For instance...Gus' Latin name might be "Gusingtinius Midgetcato". I'll let him provide a plausible explanation... :crazy2:
I assume Biggus Dickus is not allowed?

Technically, it is, but the explanation has to be plausible... >:D

Diximus Maximus Andrewelius?
^Both taken already.
'Gusingtinius Midgetcato' :2funny:
Oh, and 'your mom thinks I'm cool' - however you say that in Latin.
We think the name must include your forum moniker in some way...
So, for example...SirAndrewD = SirAndrewDysfunctimus Erectus
:2funny:

Like Glen 55-pollices verpa?
Vintageus Dudicus - The Elder
Because I'm old but don't want to admit it.
I think mine is already in Latin.
Hmm, apparently it's Italian. Sort of the same thing.
Christophoros Ionnes Lupus - My name in Latin (some variations as Reichl is not Latin but..Bohemian in origin ;))
Canis Metallus. 'nuff said.
Paganus Rex Dei - But Canis Metallus has to be the winner.
I'm in! Slashtimus Severus Au-pug-stus. Because if Severus had an army of pugs with him, he'd have conquered Scotland. :coolsmiley:

My reward is being able to mod with JH and Gus. ;) I'll be interested to see who wins.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
hmm wait. im getting confused :2funny:
AchillesianoUltimusSupersto.......................He That Singeth from a Wheelchair.
VercingIronx. King of the cheese-eating surrender monkeys. Also known by his enemies as VirginIronx, King of the nerds.
Anguilla Praeclara!
The excellent Anguille
"Flickjax Magnum Nasum" (Big Nose) because my father was a Centurian, Promised my mother the known world he did. She was to be taken to Rome, House by the Forum. Slaves. Asses' milk. As much gold as she could eat. Then, he, having his way with her had... voom! Like a rat out of an aqueduct.
Rico Mambo. :arr:
If we were doing Spanish, I would be, 'El Slasho- Man of La Munchies'. ;)
Rico Mambo :2funny: :2funny:
Count me in also. Brilliant names so far..
My name would be:
Bibulus Grunnire, Lord of Drink, Sleepiness, and Grunting
Groggy
Mbarius Catligula. Mbarius - Trying to make mbar sound latin. Catligula - a combination of Cat and Caligula.
Steelgravitasballus Maximus
Just sayin' 8)
Manere pars Minuta Prima. Taken because I am frequently saying something like 'hold on a sec' or 'wait a minute' I need to reload my weapon so don't kill me yet. Dies anyway...
Spurius Furius
There are some damned hilarious names here.
"Buffoonus Leaderus"....
In honour of the slain soldiers of every digital nation I have ever led....such was the phrase they uttered as they were cut to pieces on the alter of my ambition.... :hide:
Lepus Volantes Glacies (Yskonus Volantus). For the rabbit who tasted flight will forever walk the earth with its gaze toward the sky.
wut
Medicus Requaero.
Medicus sp Qui asinum
^But...it says right there you're not a real doctor :/
Disqualified! ;D Medicus Questicus perhaps?
More thruthful.
MC Malleus (Hammer) hip-hops his way to victory (Bleh!). Usually I prefer to use my alter egos:
1) Tribula (Sledge) Malleus – Smash the enemy to the ground, both killing and burying them at the same time. Makes for a tidy battlefield.
2) Mortuus (Dead) Ictu (Blow) Malleus – Nothing to add here.
3) Ungula (Claw) Malleus - Uproots the enemy from their defensive positions and then brings down the hammer.
4) Sphera (Ball) Peen Malleus – Shape and form all my men for a particular task. Usually I have to hammer out the details first.
5) Flexilis Malleoli (Rubber Mallet) – When all goes wrong and my attacks are ineffective (this happens more than I want to say, so I won't) :-[
Finis!
Forti Hominum Erucae Horribilis
That's a lot of Latin right there. :notworthy:
MC and rocketman have been putting in overtime here.
Apparently Bardolph works out to:
Lupus enim Securis
The Wolf Axe. Not sure if that is a wolf using an axe, or an axe for using on wolves.
Either way...
Wait a minute - my name is already Latin!
Anyway, here goes (in memory of the days of my youth) :
N. Flagrante Delicto
:2funny:
OK for FoG:E I think I'll be Calvinus Gaheris. Which if I believe the site below means "little old bald one"
http://www.20000-names.com/male_latin_names_02.htm
My Sioux Indian name is, "Dances With Drunk Girls at Redneck Bars" or just, "Dances With Dogs". :cowboy:
Does it have to be ancient latin... as in Roman pre- latin?
YES
Stella Cattus - Star Cat

Forti Hominum Erucae Horribilis
I forgot to give an explanation so: "Brave imposing man with terrifying rockets"
Pig Latin doesn't count? Oh Dear! Or, Oh-yah Ear-day! At-thay's Uc-fayed Up-yah. ???

Everyone might have bought this already.
^We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Wait! I didn't hear anything about having to cross a damned bridge. Better not be blindfolded on a tightrope or something. :timeout:

I have not yet so if the lucky winner already has it and is willing the bequeath their bounty I would willingly accept.
What? I don't know that!
Don't know what?
I had no idea Asians and Europeans swallowed differently. Is that because the day starts in Asia and the Europeans get-up later you think? ???
We could always do, 'How many fingers is Gus holding up'? My guess is one right now.
...
Keep up Gus. L:-)
Pfft I gave up years ago

Yellow. ....wait, no I mean blue!
I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--
Lookit the bones!
O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery.
I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
Guys...I'm really sorry about the delay in wrapping up this contest. It is entirely my fault. Slitherine has graciously provided us with a code and we just need to announce the winner at this point. I just have not been able to focus on anything GH related. On July 20th, my father passed away and then on July 30th, my wife gave birth to our second child. Its been a crazy couple of weeks!
Once the dust settled, we will announce the winner.
Again, apologies for the delay with this giveaway.
Congrats on the new child, JH! <:-)
If I didn't know better, I'd think the real purpose behind this thread was to name the new kiddo! ;D
NEW BABY!? Sounds like you've been doing more, 'moderating' than we've been aware of. ^-^ Congrats and Best Wishes to the both of you. I suppose, "Baby Groghead" is out of the question? Know the sex yet? Will this be a 'Dongle-equipted' or 'Non-Dondle-equipted' child?
DRM free all they way! Congratulations on the new addition to the family!

I don't think that all of us with a dongle can play Steel Beasts but your mileage may vary............
Funny you should say that, my wife calls my dongle, 'The Steel Beast'. ^-^ Sometimes she laughs when she says it though. :-[
:buck2:
Congrats sir!
Condolences and congratulations.
Like has a way of filling the holes it creates.
Condolences and congrats! :'( :bd: O:-)
I have been rereading a bunch of these FOG:E threads to see how the game had progressed and came across this post again. So who was the lucky Grog?
