It means "You have lost the game." in latin.
Latin.  That is win.
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter

   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

I think I sent about 15 of those so far. :P

Also, one of them was kinda unexpected, because it was after JoeYoung/Metagross111 got banned, I sent a PM to the entire staff called "IMPORTANT!!! About Metagross ban!!" , but the PM contained a rickroll. :P

I think these situations gotta be the best moment to rickroll people. J/k :P

Oh wait wow I remember you were staff too. How could have I forgotten that?? I think at one point I should write a new About page, listing all staff that were part of this team at one point.

I dunno, life's busy sometimes and we forget the details. :P Maybe a History of Omnimaga section? It could be sticked and possibly locked so it doesn't get over 9000 posts. =) There could be a section where former staff could be listed.

I would most likely put it in the Misc->Articles section or directly as Misc->About as a page like the rules.

That would be neat.  I like that idea.
Would you include the Non-Staff IRC ChanOps?

I'm not too sure. Eventually I might and I might include the staff from the old board and the IRL Omnimaga team.

I think theres a not complete list at brandonw's wiki.
btw, who was in the IRL Omnimaga team?  do any of them still frequent calc forums?

They never actually made it to forums. One guy helped me work on Mystique: La Larme du Dragon (most of the story and design) and my bro helped me on Illusiat 9 and designed Mana Force 2. That was before we even had a site. And yeah the list on BrandonW wiki isn't complete and up to date. On the old Invisionfree board, I included most retired staff who actually contributed signifiantly as staff.
