[cosmic mouse]

Yes, many thanks @Sakonna
When is the next one?

 

[Farscape One]

I wish to also express my thanks to Sakonna for creating these games.

I can tell you for a fact that a lot of research and care goes into on Sakonna's part.

I don't know how to do applause emoticons, so I'll applaud with words.

(Applause and cheers)

I don't say thank you enough. I love the threads, and the amount of work that goes into compiling different lists.

Huzzah!

 

[Sakonna]

Oh wow, thanks for all the thanks, everybody! Much appreciated!

And truly, thanks to all of you for playing! The game is nothing without players, and you all always make it so enjoyable.

And sorry for the delay in posting the next game! I've been swamped the last two days and a few times thought to myself "hurry up with the next game, people will be waiting!" followed by "what a narcissistic thought, no one's waiting on you!" So sorry I left everyone hanging without so much as a "be back in 2 days!" post.

Posting momentarily will be one of the sillier themes: "The Most Disliked Recycled Title Episode". Hope to see you all there!

That was from a joke post I researched a few years ago. Every word I found crossreferencing a Latin dictionary, with the exception of Unimatrix, which is a made-up word that accurately combines the Latin prefix of uni- with the Latin word matrix. And would likely have the same meaning.

Other episodes since would be Calypso, Q&A (the ampersand being invented by the Romans), and Nepenthe (arguably). Most trace back to Greek or other Indo-European languages (and simpler ones to other unrelated language families). Miri, for example, is probably the shortened form of the English name Miriam (from Hebrew Miryam) and has no connection to the Latin adjective miri (a form of mirus, meaning awesome).

But that was the joke. I was being completely oblivious to the origins of the titles and treating them as if they were either Latin words or not.

Since I usually prefer a longer list for these games, I'm wondering if I can get away to adding these all to a future run of the "Latin Titles" list anyway...
