Yes, it was one of 20 or so submitted by the same person with the latin translation. In this case, "Fortes fortuna iuvat"

Re: Round Name for Round 17

None of them really jumped out to me but "The Path of Enlightenment" i thought was suitable considering the XP Whore/ Value debate.

Wasn't it "Audentes fortuna iuvat"

Fortes fortuna iuvat would be Fortune favors the strong. more or less i think

Edit: No, it's correct, Fortis = Brave. boo me :(

true, however some things never die.
latin for names may very well be one of them.

Re: Round Name for Round 17

It's been around for nearly 3000 years, so it's hardly something 'trendy'.

Didnt they teach us that at school? When you write a book it has a beginning, a middle and an end, but when you really wanna get into it you have a beginning of the beginning, the middle of the beginning, the end of the beginning and so on...:D
