[GrandpaMo]

i wonder what custom title i would have

[Cook]

nom Gypyx for Virtute Ex Machina

alternatively, nom Gypyx for The Watchmaker

this translates to "The Power of the Machine" according to my sources.

Gypyx is known for complex games and is a member of the NRG – a team of people that assure the quality of Normal games before they're sent off.

To argue the Latin, I'd say this motto works for all aspects of setup design – Gypyx clearly knows the power that mech can have.

To argue the Watchmaker, a Watchmaker produces many watches in their lifetime, but every one is made with a level of care, expertise, and precision that's exactly what's needed when making setups or tweaking them to send off to the normal queue.

Ex Machina means “from the machine” I think based on the term Deus Ex Machina
“Power from the Machine” seems decent tho so

nth Virtute Ex Machina

nth Virtute Ex Machina

Firstly, it is true that 'Ex Machina' could mean 'from the machine', except when another ablative is present in the same phrase, because 'machina' could be both nominative and ablative, while some ablatives like 'virtute' can only be ablative.
That being said, I think that I would support this title nomination for Gypx, even though I never played with him before. According to the Cambridge Latin Course, 'virtus' (the nominative form of 'virtute',which is the ablative form) could mean 'courage' or 'virtue', and 'ex' could mean 'out of', as well as the previously stated 'from'. Therefore, 'virtus ex machina' could be taken as meaning 'courage/virtue out of/from the machine' because 'ex' governs the ablative case and somebody who doesn't know the intended meaning, could potentially misread the proposed title as "the machine out of/from the power/courage/virtue". To be fair, the main problem is that 'virtute' could imply 'out of/from the power/courage/machine', instead of the intended meaning, for which the nominative ('virtus') is needed. Alternatively, you could use 'potestas' instead of 'virtute'/'virtus'. According to Cambridge Latin Course, 'potestas' means 'power' or 'control'. This could make it more clear that 'power' was the intended word and lead the title to mean 'power/control out of/from the machine'.

i wonder what custom title i would have

from that place of thought comes the temptation of self-noms
stray not down that dark path, lest it consume you!

and dang, RH9 knows latin! neat

[Flea The Magician]

Nth Virtute Ex Machina

though it doesnt quite translate to what you intend is still accurate.

"Vita Machinae"

could be interpreted as "Life of the machine" which sounds and fells better than "Potestas Machinae" (Power of the machine)

I nominate Vita Machinae for gypyx

as well, other options are always nice ^_^

No idea if I can do that, but I just did. lol
