Cause when going over possible slogans, some people came up with Latin ones and others came up with English ones.
And since most of the barnstormers aren’t Latin scholars (or in my case, anymore) the main phrasing came out in the more known language.

If you have a German or Italian one, I’d be happy to add it as an option as well.

That and the phrases in English are a bit too long to translate into Latin. Also, we wanted to give variety because some things just sound better in other languages. And the classical language of Latin is a favorite for famous quotes. <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->

And from Malakoi's suggestions, translated into Latin (forgive the bad case endings please!)

"Seeking truth."
"Quaestio veritas."
EDIT: Personally, I like "Semper Quaestio Veritas" "Always seeking the truth." People recognize 2/3 words without needing a translation and it looks official, IMO.

"Dissolving myths, finding answers."
"Solvo fabula, invenio refero." (It literally translates to 'dissolve the myth, find the answer'.)

This one wins, in my opinion!

My vote is for anything non-sappy and in Latin, funnily enough <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile --> <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->

Re: New Slogan
<!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> Oops… when I added the new one I kind of sort of lost all the votes for the other ones (who new that’d happen), my bad. <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

So I guess if you have a new option, tell me soon cause I’m not adding anymore after discovering that lovely feature. In the meantime I’ll leave it up for longer so you can chose which two you prefer. Have fun (again). <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

Finding truth amongst myths

I've never considered taking away the mythological aspect of being 'kin. I believe I have the soul of a dragon. How much more mythological can you get? Myths can be true, sometimes, though.

I voted for the first one.

I know nothing of Latin, but I love it nonetheless. I'm hoping to take Latin in college, actually.

I like a more idiomatic version:

Cum fabulae rimati erimus explicationes inveniemus. (When we've explored myths, we'll find answers)

Also, just a note, Eli. Latin verbs come last whenever possible; also, you used the "I" endings, so I switched to "we." <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

And should it be that we shall never meet again,
Know that I will always keep you in my heart,
And I will search for you in that time beyond time
Until we do meet again, and you will know
That love and family are the miracles of the world.
