Got a couple of hours to play and decided to make a journey to Sim world, which I wanted to explore for almost half of year. It was worth waiting: Fratres has very intense steampunk vibes, and it's so cool.

Lorena - a granddaughter of my townees - is already intrigued by its mysteries.

Yet another Latin Query

Tearing my hair out here- I'm trying to expand some abbreviations even though my knowledge of Latin is infantile at best, and the crib says that the abbreviation 'fr̄s mei c̄cesser̄' should be expanded 'fratres mei concesserint'.

But I am now very confused about possessive adjectives because I would have assumed that a nominative plural subject 'fratres' would be followed by 'meorum' not 'mei'? Or can both be true or is meorum just plain wrong and if it is then why?

Lorena pays a visit to house of one of Fratres families. This morning everyone is too busy, so she has time to look around a mansion alone.

The one in which the player, who is fantastically gifted in her ability to play, finally gets a taste of her own medicine.

SPANIARD MULIER - THOSE ABOUT TO DIE REWRITE (series masterlist)

Meet Aldea Corsi before reading <3

(mulier means woman in latin so = the spanish woman)

Summary: 79 CE. Rome is seeing an influx of slaves from the growing empire and its population is growing bored, restless and increasingly violent. However, the people are kept in line by the promise of free food and spectacular entertainment in the form of chariot racing, animal combat and gladiator fights.

75 CE. Aldea, a young spaniard woman from Baetica, was not supposed to be one of those slaves coming to Rome but after getting stuck on a merchant's boat, she found herself being shown off at the market, but it seemed the fates' cruelty was finally over when a man named Tenax bought her to get her off that stage after she caught his eye.

So one of the things I enjoy when I do deep dives on characters is checking what their names are in other languages. Sometimes the results are pretty meh/whatever (be it because it's the same name or otherwise), sometimes they're hilarious and sometimes there are some interesting ideas and implications.

Here's one for our darling and friend of the show, Cipher Admin Ein. [Tldr at the bottom]

In the German version of Pokémon Colosseum Ein is known as Professor Culpa. Aside from giving him a nice title that I'm sure he loves and implying an academic background (to the surprise of no one), culpa is Latin and means guilt, fault or blame.

It's also technically grammatically feminine, but hey, leave the poor man be.

This is, for lack of a better term, kind of deep if you consider how he's one of, if not the main culprit (pun intended) and brains behind the creation of Shadow Pokémon, with his research enabling what are considered to be quite horrific acts in-universe - from what Cipher does to Pokémon to the all the crimes they committed in Orre using Shadow Pokémon.

There is a bit of a spiritual and/or religious angle to it too. Some of you may be familiar with the Confiteor, one of the prayers of the Penitential Act in the Catholic Church, also used in the Lutheran and Anglican Church. It contains the following passage (translation below, emphasis mine):

Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, et vobis fratres [et sorores], quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers [and sisters], that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

Tldr: German Ein gets weirdly deep and is probably going to hell for his sins, especially since he's not sorry at all.

1312. március 22

keresztes lovagok alapították a Templomos rendet 1118ban és a céljuk a Szentföldre zarándoklók életének védelmezése volt. eleinte. játszunk el a gondolattal, ülsz Párizstól vagy Londontól 13 napi távolságra és egy reggel úgy kelsz fel hogy akkor te most elgyalogolsz Jeruzsálemig, mert hogy máshogy is hihetné el a Jóisten, szereted őt. na ugye hogy az ember simán örülhetett akkor egy lovasnak aki poroszkált a zarándoklós csoportotokkal, és hát tényleg csak mindenedet adtad oda neki. deal.

a lovagok Pauperes Commilitorum Christi (aza Krisztus szegény lovagjai)nak nevezték magukat, mert bevállalták hogy életüket szegénységben fogják eltölteni, szolgálva a kereszténységet. II. Baudin, jeruzsálemi király vette őket pártfogásba, az egykori Salamon-templom egyik szárnyában adott nekik helyet, innen lettek templomos lovagok. Fratres Militiae Templi.

szédítő karriert futottak be, a pápa kivette a templomos rendet a püspökök joghatósága alól, felmentette őket a birtokaik után járó egyházi tized fizetése alól, és engedélyezte számukra templomok építését, káplánok választását. a rend pedig jó gyorsan szétterjedt a kontinensen, népszerű is lett és a kezdeti szegénységből nagyon hamar oda jutottak a jó lovagok az adományok (és kifosztások), a pénzügyi tranzakciók (hagyok időt) révén, hogy a királyok kezdtek mint a tíz ujjukat használva számolni, mi a faszból van ezeknek nagyobb hatalma, több kastélya, aranya mint nekik. meg tehetnek bármit és még csak rájuk se lehet szólni. és amikor az egyik rájött a válaszra annyit sem habozott, mint Sztálin elvtárs egy jó kulákozással.

IV. Fülöp francia király megcsinálta az első igazi, szép, lepapírozott koholt pert, a zsebre rakott akkori pápa (bizonyára kelletlen) áldásával. 1307. október 13án lefoglaltatta a rend vagyonát, lecsukatott akit ért és aki nem vallotta azt amit kellett, mehetett a máglyára melegedni. évekig tartó boszorkányüldözés vette kezdetét, aminek 1312. március 22én lett vége, V. Kelemen pápa feloszlatta a rendet. a Templomosok vagyona (nahát!) zömmel a vagyontárgy fellelhető helyén uralkodó királyokhoz került (főleg Fülöphöz), egy része meg ment meg az egyház több más lovagrendjéhez. szerintem ezen már akkor sem lepődött meg senki sem. legfeljebb nem yachtot rendeltek a szerzett dellából hanem festményt, meg kettővel nagyobb kastélyt, ami előtt most nyáron sorbanállunk a turistabuszos kínaik között.

és csak azért kéne azt a kurva időgépet feltalálni, hogy megtudjuk, az első meg az utolsó nagymester mit szólna Legolas templomos fazonjára ;)
