This is your captain Patriach speaking:
The new club has just attained its fifth member, and seems to be growing weekly. These first five members will hereafter be referred to as (oddly enough) the Founding Five. It is time that we began to devolped a Statement of Purpose. I am beginning a new forum on the Club's page, and further details will be discussed there. If anyone besides Bassman reads this, check out A680456 to find out what it is all about, and possibly become a member . Sic Semper Tyrannis! I hope to hear from you soon...

Been there done that!!

So what do I get to put at the end of my name?



Bassman

Well, I have you down as the "Shylock," but you could change it to "Founder Number Two" or something original like that. Right now I am working on a draft of our "Constitution," and will post it ASAP. BTW do you have a copy of the scripting for the drop down list of ACEs that is on your page? If you could post it to a conversation, or send it to an as yet undisclosed email adress, I would be much obliged. Thanks for the reply and watch the Club's space for the new constitution.



Iago

I think the drop down list is available from the ACE's page, but if you want the whole thing, with the badges either side etc, drop me a line via the e-mail link on my page

I must apologise for my complete and utter ignorance of Latin - I only know Per Ardua Ad Astra and Tempus Fugit, so what is the translation of Sic Semper Tyrannis?

How about "Shylock - Founding Member #2" or similar?



Bassman

Thanx for the info. Sic Semper Tyannis means "thus always to tyrants." I think it generally has negative conotations for the tyrant, but I thought the latin would give the club notoreity (spelling?) and literary appeal. Or some such garbage.
