	AU Motto Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

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?

'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)

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

Fine, just translate it into Canadian.

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 )

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"

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

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."

You guys are nuts.

And what do you mean like real universities? Are you implying the AU is not one?

Don't forget that part of the plan is to someday have more of a webpage interface as the "front door" as opposed to simply a forum... we will want to get creative!!

Apolyton University: Because great players are made, not born.

There's probably something that would work better than great players, but it gets the point across for now.

AU: Because your current crack habit just isn't intense enough.

so, is there going to be a vote?
and if so: everybody or the AU panel?


and what's the general opinion about AU t-shirts?

for people here who don't often frequent the apolyton/community forum: look here

Everybody should vote.
The AU panel is actually the AU mod panel, and a motto doesn't have anything to do with the mod.

Real universities give you a diploma after a while (I got one after six years )
