Join the 201st strykers we have CW "custom waffles" so join now!

[MagResPolarBear]

CW's been a blast so far. It's great to see a game mode where, regardless of whether you win or lose, you can usually say that you had a good fight at the end of it.

[MagResPolarBear]

Whee, new patch, new patch, new patch!

And I'm going to be working late tonight and won't get to play

[Clasbyte]

I will shed a tear for you later mate.

[blackcatf]

"Yay" for updates to the CW (beta) before the holiday season starts. And double "Yay" for an extended version of the "Trick or Treat" event that will last into the new year!

[MagResPolarBear]

I can't help but feel that the equivalent of the Halloween "trick" should have been called "coal" or something like that. "Naughty Items" is just too much innuendo fodder...

[Clasbyte]

Ad astra per aspera!

[MagResPolarBear]

Bah. Repensum canicula est!

[Clasbyte]

Payback is a *****!

Your turn :

Fiŝo pli granda malgrandan englutas.

But Mag...they already have a lump of coal...and it's worth 250 MC...plus, I think it's one of the cockpit items that they're giving away.

Not sure if that is supposed to make it better or worse....

Happy XMas to all of you!

Weirdly, I guessed "large" and "eats" but not "small" or "fish", the latter of which really should have been obvious.

Here's an easy one for you: "Nära skjuter ingen hare". I'm sure you can find the German equivalent

[Clasbyte]

Yeah "hare" is kinda obvious.

EN: Close, but no cigar.
DE: Knapp daneben ist auch vorbei.
DE2: Nahe dran zählt nur bei Handgranaten und Atombomben.

New One: Al piu potente ceda il più prudente.

[MagResPolarBear]

Love the DE2 version

I didn't even know where to begin guessing with that one. Wikiquotes translates it as "Better to bow than break", which isn't a phrase I'd ever come accross before either. Makes enough sense though, I guess.

Here's a slightly non-standard one for you. Bonus points if you can guess the book it came from
Veni, Vermini, Vomui

[Clasbyte]

Holy Discworld Batman!

Veni, Vermini, Vomui (I came, I got ratted(as in drunk), I threw up)

That was from Terry Pratchett. Book Jingo (German Fliegende Fetzen) part of the guards series.
But also Vermini and Vomui sound a lot like the english counterparts not so hard to guess.

Ok new one:

Effectus sequitir causam


(An easier one today, holidays and all.)

[blackcatf]

Umm...

Semper Gumbi...

Or something in Latin.

P.S. PGI, all I want for Christmas from you is 'mech bays, so you can start giving me those anytime instead of the 15-25 MC stocking stuffers...k'thanks

[Clasbyte]

1. Its semper gumby
2. Its made up
3. Correct would be Semper flexibilis

For those that dont know, "gumby" is referring to the cartoon character named gumby.

Nill points for black!

Looks like "the effect follows the cause". Sounds like something out of special relativity, except I don't think Einstein was ever that pretentious...

When I took to rollerblading, the people I used to skate with referred to new skaters as "gumbies". Never occured to me that that could be a pop-culture reference...

Also, could I have a lump of coal, please?
