http://uo.stratics.com/shard/reporter_graphics/newsicon_plyrstry_byorvago.gifAfter the poll closes the winner will be announced in the Atlantic News!

The winner will also receive a prize from Tazar, and a custom signature by Ishtar!

[imported_Grigg of Einhorn]

Just for frame of reference, what was the old motto? Is there a theme, or genre to apply?

[imported_Ishtar]

This is the old one:

"I am sure the server will be up soon !!"

I'd like to see somethng Atlantic specific &amp; it must abide by the RoC. Otherwise feel free to be creative and so on.

[Lady_Rachel]

Atlantic
Where it all began.

Prize will be: Your choice of 5Mil gold or a Charger of the Fallen delivered on Atlantic.

[Magnus]

"Atlantic, land of the Neon Glow!"

Guess who isn't going to win? Me! http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[imported_tnynyn]

Ill give it a shot..

Atlantic: The last hope for your Ultima Online experience

[imported_MollyAtlantic]

Atlantic! Where you'll always find adventure!

[Tazar]

Atlantic: The Home of Tazar and them darn Drunken Elders!

lol Sorry, I could not resist!

[imported_Ishtar]

We wuvs you Tazar!

[Cear Dallben Zog]

Atlantic, the lost server.

[Sam the Scribe]

Atlantic, the other white meat.

[Stuffa]

Atlantic: We Create Words

(as opposed to Origin: We Create Worlds)

[Euphoriam]

Atlantic, for 5mil gold in Luna

[Cat Crimson]

@ Sam - sadly the Bard forum already have something similar.

Tazar, was that you I res'd in Shame just now ? Sorry I wasn't quicker off the mark, I'd only just started using that character again on a new PC and had to fumble around in the spellbook for icons.

Hmm. A motto -

Atlantic - so many people, so little taste in clothes

http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No, really, I'll have a proper think later.

....

Ok, I thought - Atlantic : where you're never Far from the Madding Crowd.

[Tazar]

Yep. That was me! Thanks! http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[imported_EricksonYates]

I am amazed Stuffa didn't put something like

"Atlantic: BARTON!"

That would have been spiffy.

My idea? I have none, but I will try anyway.

Atlantic: Land of a Thousand Play Styles

[Cear Dallben Zog]

How about
Atlantic: Can we get patches first again?


effing Origin.

[Stuffa]

yeah to be honest i'd quite lke Atlantic: Barton's People

but I bet there'd be some form of mass rebellion by the non-barton believers

[Cat Crimson]

How many of those are there then ? http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I wouldn't mind a Barton themed motto.

[imported_GFY]

How about...

Atlantic: Home of The Syndicate.

Probably too self promoting.

How about...

Atlantic: The way Socaria should be.

[Cat Crimson]

Indeed.

The whole Barton thing was not about any one guild, just a fun thing that anyone could join in with and even went into shard invasions. I would not back something that identified a shard with a particular guild.

[imported_Grigg of Einhorn]

So who is Barton? and if he is so important to the Atlantic Shard how come I haven't heard of him before?

[imported_Ishtar]

Love the Star Wars UO fusion referendum! Keep em coming guys, there are some great ones so far!

[Stuffa]

WHO IS BARTONLAL?!

To be honest, it's been a while now since the infamous barton days...

All I can say is...

... it's a long story

*stares off into the distance hollywood style*

[Cat Crimson]

Aww c'mon now Stuffa, you can do better than that ! http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/grin.gif

get your reporting finger out and explain to the nice folks, dammit http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Cat Crimson]

And whilst we are waiting for the man himself to get his gluteus maximii into gear...

[imported_Grigg of Einhorn]

Thanks Cat Crimson, at least that link gave me an answer that was helpful, and wasn't drenched in sarcasm.

Okay, I would suggest classics and simple,

"Atlantic: Vos Es Domus" (Translations "Atlantic, You're Home")

[Cat Crimson]

Oh the whole Barton thing really was fun. It was an ongoing piece of supreme daftness, just pure giggles really. Some people got their panties in a bunch about it but they didn't possess much of a sense of humour. Stuffa should have tons of Atl Barton related pics somewhere.

[Stuffa]

lol no need to get upset i wasn't being sarcastic in a nasty way, i was just playing up the epicness that is barton

Let's see... some of the old photos...

I suppose the biggest most recent factor was that Barton influenced me in naming my team on the Mongol Rally, team barton - me and my friend, who drove with me in the fiat panda to mongolia over four weeks from london:

Huzzah, pics !

It's so funny to think the lasting memorial to your old teacher will be pixelated in an online game.

Also, I miss Nikademus =/ Lots.

[imported_Ishtar]

Lets keep this on track folks!

[Halister Marner]

Atlantic: We are the borg.

[KylieKinslayer]

Atlantic: To bodly go where no Barton has gone before. http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Sam the Scribe]

Ok, to try and prevent this thread from being hopelessly hijacked by the Barton Borgs... I'll make another submission... hmmm....

Atlantic: Land of brave Lords and Virtuous Ladies

Plus... if you look closely at the word virtuous... you will see UO is spelled forward and backward within. Just as the Gem of Immortality carries a perfect image of our lands, reflected within by the lands of Trammel and Fellucia.

Safe Travels, Sam

[imported_Ishtar]

OK everyone, tomorrow I am compiling a list of all the ideas in one thread and I want everyone to list the ones they like best! Get your last ones in today and during the day tomorrow!

[Jorval]

God damnit peen...
*sheds tear*

Brought back some win memories there.

I vote for something Barton related also. It just characterises the good old spirit of atl better than anything else I recon.

Either that or;

Atlantic: STFU I OWN U IN FEL
