In my view, "Because your current crack habit just isn't intense enough," is cute, but comparing a game to use of an illegal drug is also just a little bit offensive. I'm not sure how good having that for a motto would be for Apolyton University's image.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I agree with nathan on that, as it was more of a joke suggestion to begin with. If it were to win, though, it could be modified to remove the crack reference. Substitute "Civ addiction" for "crack habit", for instance.

Tired of ads?

imho "learn, build, conquer" doesn't really say what AU is about. you do that in every civ3 game anyhow.

perfecting your game is based on 2 things:

- strategy (long term optimization)
- micromanagement (short term with huge impact on the longer run)

Got spare money?

Um - NM - a little bit of patience with the poll deadline would have been nice. I really can't believe you are Canadian.

Good poll though.

+1 to Learn, Build, Conquer. Nice, succint, catchy.

I voted for "the art of civ", but "learn, build, conquer" was a close second.

I ran it through a english --> latin translator and it loosely came up to:

percepi, construxi, vici

or

"I learned, I built, I conquered"

My latin is about as good as my mandarin chinese, but that's my new favorite...

There should be a runoff... and I see nothing wrong with a reference to crack.

+1 to Learn, Build, Conquer, although I quite like the Latin version that funked suggested (if correct).

I concur that references to 'crack addiction' might be, errr, counter-productive. But it's funny as hell.
