    The motto of the Scythe Empty The motto of the Scythe

    Post  Papachabre Mon Aug 03, 2009 3:24 pm

    The US Marine Corps has "Semper Fidelis" meaning 'Always Faithful'. The Royal Irish Regiment has "Faugh a ballagh" meaning 'Clear the way'. The British Royal Navy has "Be the best," which admittedly isn't as cool as the previous mottoes, but you get the idea.

    Our alliance is currently motto-less and I intend to change that with this contest. The rules are simple. Reply to this post with the most inspirational, motivational and otherwise coolest motto you can come up with. I'll sift through the entries and come with with my 3 favorite. We will then have a poll for the best motto. The author of the motto that gets the most votes wins gold in the amount of ::holds his pinky to the corner of his mouth:: TWO MILLION DOLLARS! Muahahahah. Err, 2 million gold anyway.

    So, more formally...

    Contest Rules:
    -Post one original motto
    -Only one motto is allowed per user. If you have changed your mind on a motto simply edit your original post
    -If a motto is posted by two different users only the first will be considered
    -At the end of Thursday, Aug. 6th I will pick three mottoes to be voted on.
    -The vote will last until next Monday at which time the winner will be chose. He/she will have to send me his/her coordinates and I will transport 1 mil gold to his/her chosen city.
    Contest Reward: 2 million gold

    Good luck, fellow Scythes!

    Like a Star @ heaven TIME TO VOTE! Like a Star @ heaven

    Ok guys, it was tough because you all came up with some pretty good mottoes, but we were able to choose three of them for you to vote on. The poll will end in 6 days. The motto with the most votes will receive 2 million gold. The one with the second most will receive 1 million and the third will receive 500k.

    In the event of a tie I will have to think about what happens because I gotta go right now, but it'll probably be something like splitting the sum of two awards (like if two people tie for first they'll each get 1.75 mil and if two tie for second they'll each get 750k).

    So think hard and choose the motto that you feel best suits our awesome (and growing) alliance.

    ultio, fides et pertinacia
    How to pronounce
    (all-te-o) (f-e-da-s) (et) (pert-ina-s-see-a)
    (Vengeance, Faith, and Determination)

    Would this be sufficient enough?

    I Think the motto should be

    Fortes fortuna juvat. cheers

    I cant translate it into English, but in Danish it meens: Lykken står den kække bi...

    I think it in English generelt meens, that fortune will follow the one who dares..

    Like a Star @ heaven Contest Update Like a Star @ heaven

    As you may have read, the contest ends tomorrow night. Let's pick a time - 10PM Eastern (or 21:00 Evony time). At that time we will choose the three finalists for you to vote on. We've seen some pretty good ones so far and I encourage those who haven't submitted an entry to please do.

    Also I've decided to up the ante. The reward will now be 2,000,000 (two-million) gold for the winner to do whatever with. Maybe you can build a swimming pool and fill it with the gold and you can dive in a la Scrooge McDuck. I dunno, my obligation ends at sending it to you - you figure it out.
