Most know that Carpe Dium means "Seize the Day" and Carpe Noctum means "Seize the Night".
What I would like to know is if anyone can tell me the correct way to phrase "One Who Seizes the Night" or Seizer of the Night".
For the first person that comes up with the correct answer and can back it up with proof that it's the correct meaning, I will give away $50 sl ingame.
Thanks!

same goes for pair of pants.
i believe it has somthing to do with the fact that a single leg is a "pant leg", thus a pair of underwear is like a pair of pant holes in the underwear /technicalities _____________________

Car -
Carpe Noctis... this is the closest I can come up with. Carpe, as we already know, means "seize".. and noctis is the genitive singular for "of night". _____________________

""What I would like to know is if anyone can tell me the correct way to phrase "One Who Seizes the Night" or Seizer of the Night". ""
And the answer is: captator -oris m. [one who eagerly seizes]; esp. [a legacy-hunter]. And the proof is: http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookdown.pl?seiz just add 'the night' to the 'eager seizer' above: For females, it would be 'captator diem' or 'noctis' For males, it would be 'captatoris diem' or 'noctis' An eager seizer of a second life would be something like: captator alter aetas |
