They re-order the forums, yet RWG is still denied its rightful place at the bottom. And after all we did for SubTerra in our recent subliminal infiltration. It's the ingratitude that bothers one most. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

I have to give it to you. Your attempts to keep this, and the SubTerrra, forum active are just astounding. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

This isn't about keeping it alive, this is about putting the forum where it belongs - at the bottom of the board! Surely every cultist can share your anguish, SoT - to have the forums rearranged, and to have RWG be ignored like that, is the height of shame. It is not merely unkind, it is insulting! Death to those who would insult our prophet Richard White! -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Let us take a roll from the scroll of Marcus Cato the Elder. We should all take to ending every post, in whatever forum, on whatever topic, with 'RWG should be moved to the bottom of the boards list'. Perhaps a Latin translation would be even cooler. Less effective, but obscurity is our creed here in RWG, so why not? Choice Latin, picked phrase, Tully's every word. Or mostly. Kelandon? -------------------- We're not doing cool.

In latin? I feel like trying to write that sentence. kelandon, will you correct me if I'm wrong? Forum Richard-White-is ad fundum totis foris transducat.

The 'ceterum censeo' beginning is good, as is the gerundive construction, since that's how Cato did it. I don't mind an acronym, but it should be a Latin one. LRA, I suppose: Ludi Ricardi Albi. Ceterum censeo forum Ludi Ricardi Albi deferendum esse. Is that right? Perhaps we should get a nihil obstat from Kelandon, then an imprimatur from Icshi. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

quote:Actually RWG is reasonably healthy anyway. For the SubTerra board, as far as I'm concerned it's just a matter of keeping it fresh and fattening it up.

quote:You know me well. :) quote:This reads, "Let him lead across the forum of Richard White to the bottom for the whole forums." I guess the jussive subjunctive works, here, but I'm not fond of transduco for the verb, especially since traduco would be much more classical anyway. And are we really "leading something" (duco) "across" (trans)? It seems odd. It also means "carry over" and "transfer," but meh. Not fond of the verb. quote:This works. The Perseus site just died on me, so I can't check the usage at all — Cato was rather early, after all, and if we want Golden Era Latin, we may have to change a word or two — but this definitely works. The verb defero is much better. Something was killing me about this sentence, and I think I've pinned it down: Ludi is supposed to be in apposition to forum, right? That is, we're talking about "the forum, Richard White Games," in the nominative, not "the forum of the game of Richard White," right? It seems strange to me — and I can't look this up at the moment due to Perseus's death — that a verb (censeo) that would introduce indirect discourse (deferendum esse) would take an object in the nominative (forum Ludi in apposition). Can anyone check on this? If not, I will when I get back in a few hours.

But my credo is RW über alles. RWG must never descend! —Alorael, who may have to seriously look into the ever-moving forum. Think of the terrors the world would know if it were impossible to discern where or when RW would appear next! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:To be perfectly frank, I ha dno idea what verb to use. i was thinking about movere, but I didn't know for sure. However, with "totis foris" I didn't mean "for the whole Forums" but "of all the forums," as an ablative. that is the same ending, isn't it? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

quote:I think this has more to do with translation Dutch - Latin than English - Dutch (or Dutch - English), as we thought on the Nephilian grammar topic. You see, in Dutch we say for "of whole the forum," "van de hele Forum," but not as a genitive construction. Un Dutch an ablative is also translated (of the many options) with "van" (= of). that may be the problem, or my inability to think correctly in both Latin and English at the same time. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

What are you all talking about? RWG already is an ever-moving forum. It's motion just happens to also occur retroactively. It always moves, yet once moved, it was always there.
