Et Tu, Brute?

[AvalancheDiode]

How many of you have completed this achievement?

It seems to be very hard one to get.

Just in case you don't know, check this wikipedia page for the meaning of this phrase:

I got it. Why would it that be hard? You add friends to your friends list, and play with them. When you end up on the opposite team, you kill them along with everyone else. Eventually you knife 5 of them. It's bound to happen some time if you have friends and play with them.

It should be Es-tu, brute?. Et = And.

It's a quote from Caesar when Brutus was serving him a steaming plate of betrayal and whoop-***.

"You, too, Brutus?" or "And you, Brutus?" are both translations I've seen.

Either way, "et" is supposed to mean "and" in this case.

Wrong. Et is often used as a conjunction to mean "and" but it can also be used adverbially as "also," "too," etc, although translating it as "and" would work well. It's one of those minor ambiguities that necessitates context that makes Latin such a wonderful language. :awes

I take it you were QFT'ing me?

One of the reasons I liked Latin was how logical it was most of the time. It was like math with words. I only took 8 terms of it in high school, but it was enough to understand most basic quotes and mottos, as well as help to see the root of most words so that I can figure out the meaning through the root and context.

I can only come up with mock latin: Succus Enormus Crono.

Re: Et Tu, Brute?

Are you kidding me? It's an easy achievement to get. I play on my clan server a lot so that helps I guess.

Edit: Then again, friends system blows so....
