SpectreTehDestroyer Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 [quote name='Jorost' date='10 April 2010 - 02:20 AM' timestamp='1270862419' post='2254868'] Just to reiterate, "Regnum Invictorum" is the [i]full, official[/i] name. "Invicta" is still the standard short-form name and is wholly appropriate to use. Many RL nations do this... "La Republique Francaise" for "France" "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" for "Germany" "Rossiskaya Federatsiya" for "Russia" "Confoederatio Helvetica" for "Switzerland" ...and so on. It would be rare to see those long forms used except in official diplomatic documents, etc. I don't expect people to use our full name in normal conversation. We will use it in official statements, documents, etc., of course. And for RP purposes we will mix it up with "Invicta" and "the Realm." [/quote] That tends to make sense then. Thanks for clearing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudekker Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I'm kinda confused... isn't pretentiousness the main aim of the announcement? Erm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buds The Man Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Good luck Jorost I hope today starts a brand new chapter for many of us. May Regnum Invictorum thrive. I hope it brings all that you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like GGA, where everyone jumped on the GGWAE bandwagon (however, that was for much better reason).

With that being said, good luck with your newly-chosen course, Regnum Invictorum, and may it extend beyond a mere rebranding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haflinger Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 [quote name='TypoNinja' date='09 April 2010 - 08:24 PM' timestamp='1270859058' post='2254787'] I'm confused, is this a coup or a reformation? [/quote] It's certainly not a coup; Jorost is our longest-serving President. Reformation might be going too far, but it certainly has elements of that. Refocusing is how I would put this. This has been a very long time coming, as some people know. All in all, I'm glad to see it - now let's see where it takes us. [quote name='Micheal Malone' date='09 April 2010 - 08:29 PM' timestamp='1270859369' post='2254801'] Ah, my bad. I missed the earlier announcement then when you withdrew from Poseidon it seems? Either way, good luck with the New Life. [/quote] That's because it was not made on these forums. [quote name='Bob Janova' date='09 April 2010 - 08:30 PM' timestamp='1270859390' post='2254803'] I'm not sure that this rebranding is going to have the outcome you intended. Taking a Latin name makes you seem even more pretentious than you were before. [/quote] We already HAD a Latin name [quote name='Bob Janova' date='09 April 2010 - 08:30 PM' timestamp='1270859390' post='2254803'] Withdrawing from Poseidon is an interesting move. [/quote] Yes, it is. I welcome all the idiotic speculation that is likely to surround it. [quote name='Aeternalis' date='09 April 2010 - 10:18 PM' timestamp='1270865901' post='2254956'] I still don't understand why people hate Invicta in the first place...?

It's PEACE that we're still in. /me sighs. Heh. Also, just to be clear, "Regnum Invictorum" is the full, official name. "Invicta" is still the standard short-form name. It's like the difference between "La Republique Francaise" and "France."

Sequoia Throne Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Changes, even if they're mostly symbolic, can breathe new life and new determination into an alliance. Jorost, congratulations on your long reign. Invicta, good luck with this my friends (even if I still think New Invicta Order would have been cooler ). Hail Regnum Invictorum!

Ashoka the Great Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I thought with the horse emblem you might go with a more equestrian theme, but I suppose 'Pinto' was taken.

shilo Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Definitely an interesting move, and I don't think anyone can judge this move until the effects of this change have been evident for some time.

ajaxpenny Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nothing negative can be said about such a move.
