AU Motto

[Tassadar500]

I was thinking it would be neat if the AU had it's own motto like real universities have. We could also translate it into Latin.
Thoughts?

[JimiD]

'All things come to he who micromanages'

or

'Patience is a virtue'

(ive been struggling all day with AU503, so I might be seeing this a little one dimensionally)

[nbarclay]

Just as a first thought, how about, "Learn, build, conquer"?

[JimiD]

Veni, Vedi, Rexi (edited into pidgeon latin)

[Theseus]

Why Latin and not Greek??!!

[Tassadar500]

Fine, just translate it into Canadian.

[Theseus]

I don;t think the AU Motto should have anything to do with beer, hockey, the Windsor Ballet, or the RCMP.

motto?

i like pirate's "veni, vidi, rexi" one

or the famous quote "divida et impera" (divide and rule) could be changes to "REXa et impera" (uh, i need help in imperative forms )

[sabrewolf]

also the MM idea sounds interesting
"god is a micromanager"
"even god micromanages"
"only who micromanages will prevail"
"talk is silver, micromanagement is gold"

but imho the best and most catching of my ideas:
"beat sid"

or a variant of that: "how to beat sid"

or maybe "the path to sid"

[sabrewolf]

or a simple
AU's "the art of civ" (derived from sun tzu's "the art of war")

[Tassadar500]

To beat, or not to beat. That is the AU.

Good one Sabrewolf.

Or better yet. To defeat, or to be defeated? That is the question.

[Theseus]

The motto should clearly, succinctly, pithily, and with a sense of drama communicate our mission:

"Apolyton University is a school of strategy, where students sharpen their Civ3 skills and share their experiences in a series of thematic games. When playing an Apolyton University game, gaining and sharing knowledge is more important than getting a high score, a fast finish, or even winning the game. Participants are encouraged to share their strategy after the game, and even to try several attempts."
