Such a vast and awesomely huge responsibility could only rest upon the shoulders of... Atlas.

I don't think atlas would start a poll that didn't involve stating your choice while under weaponspoint.

Anyone using "Atlai" must be able to decline the second person dual and plural of "Atlas" before I will take him or her seriously: we must distinguish between one, two, and more than two Atlases at any moment (and it's bound to be tactically significant).

If we're doing Greek, let's do it full-on, lads.

Yeah. 98% of all users on this forum use Atlai in any mech-related context. The remaining 2% are AFK


You know, I think most people I know ended up just not doing any plural pronunciation at all (We've got 2 Atlas over there!) but I think Atlases is what I've heard the 2nd most. It's interesting, I never really thought about it.
