My Latin is very limited, but word games are fun.
I shall post the latinized names of a few sports teams and some members of A2K. You are invited to guess the answers, correct mistakes, and make your own questions.
Sports teams:
San Franciscii Aurei Cercatores
Novorleanensis Sanctis
Roburterrensis Invasores
Novangelterrensis Patriæ Amantes
A2K members:
exiguak
cicero fallax
Felix Andreas
maguslumenis
Volo, non valeo...
San Francisco Gold (errr Fortyniners?)
New Orleans Saints
???
New England Patriots
I don't think that I remember more than "Gallia divisa in partes ..."
However, it's not 'cicero' but 'cicerone' (=guida turistica).
Walterus post Avrum
Good, Piffka!
Fortyniners as Gold Searchers.
Now, where in the USA is Roburterra?
Walter,
I have always thought that the word "cicerone" derives from Cicero, the ancient philosopher. I may have been always wrong.
Perhaps cicero (or cicerone) fallax will be able to explain.

I know this 'ad personam' :wink:
Fiat justitia; ruat coelum; -Let justice be done; though heaven fall
--Latin proverb
Mmh, New York would be 'Novum Eburacum' ..
Strong earth invaders???? Oh, I feel so stupid. Maybe I don't know enough sports teams.
Sic semper tyrannis:
"Thus always to tyrants,"
The motto of the state of Virginia

I thought the question was "Where's Roberta's home town"?
The Robertville, Arkansas Instep Sores?
Walter:
I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your response.
Hints: terra = land,
Remember they are "Invasores". "Robur" is the key word.
What about the names A2K members?
Trying to figure out who the cat person is - Felix IS cat, I assume?
OH rats, I just got Light wizard... had to go to the member list.
Mary cat?
