Latin Translation

[Arakhor]

That seems to catch the spirit of it perfectly.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

What kind of Civ player says 'please'?

 

[gangleri2001]

Polite ones.

I dunno, what would you say that captures the essence of it?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Ludam iterum aliam vicem

Its literal translation is "I shall play yet another turn."

It's not my call, but if it were I'd go with that.

I already settled. I think the "yet another" captures the essence perfectly.

 

[Arakhor]

I much prefer the concept of the player begging to continue play, rather than just announcing it.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I think the player is more often begging to quit, and just can't bring themselves to do it.

 

[Arakhor]

Heheh. Maybe I will play just one more turn would be appropriate then.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Civ. The Lay's potato chip of gaming.

 

[Arakhor]

Walkers crisps have the Pringles reputation in the US then? ("Once you pop, you can't stop!")

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Walkers crisps have the Pringles reputation in the US then? ("Once you pop, you can't stop!")

The Lay's motto was "no one can eat just one". Same concept.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

What kind of Civ player says 'please'?

It depends on the circumstances. "Please" isn't always a request. Sometimes it's a way of expressing annoyance.

Civ. The Lay's potato chip of gaming.

Uh-uh. Pringles. Pizza flavor, to be precise, accompanied by chocolate milk. That's what I'm snacking on right now.

 

[gangleri2001]

I've been playing around with the order of the sentence to make it sound even more desperate to play one more turn and I've come up with this:

Aliam vicem iterum ludam

Now that's a perfect Latin sentence that sounds desperate to play just one more turn.

 

[1889]

Finally got it done, thanks for your help.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Excellent!

 

[gangleri2001]

One more vicem!

 

[Zkribbler]

I went to Google Translate and tried "one more turn"

I got back "one more adversurus"

So I tried, "I shall play one more turn."

I got back, "Ego ludere unum amplius aversurus" which seems a bit wordy.

So I'd shorten it to "unum amplius aversurus"

What did you finally end up with?

 

[1889]

Aliam Vicem Iterum Ludam. If you find any errors don't bother telling me now.

 

[Hygro]

It's a badass quote

all hail the true civ fanatic

 

[gangleri2001]

"Ego ludere unum amplius aversurus"

Disastrous sentence. Its translation back to English would be "I and only I to play one and just one moreover about to turn away".
