Arief Wibowo To lower the ratings, here is a simple Latin round.
Round 155: Rem nimium bene gerere, in solitudo esse.
Round 155: Rem nimium bene gerere, in solitudo esse.
Arief Wibowo I'm truly sorry Billy, but perhaps you can help me moderate this round? It's my time to visit lalaland 
Kevin, it's not benefit, more of a disadvantage (I guess?). But neither "benefit" nor "disadvantage" made a cameo in the sentence, merely implied

Christian James Meredith I spoilt this round for myself (me winning now anyway would be unfair) so I can moderate too.
Sarah Karoline Here is my attempt:
The great thing about growing well/favourably is being in solitude?

Christian James Meredith Sarah Karoline well, there are individual words you've used that will be used in the right translation, but they're lonely at the moment and missing their buddies (and instead have strangers around them)
Christian James Meredith Yup! So as you can see, no growing involved.
If Arief doesn't mind me saying, this phrase has a particular mood about it.

Sarah Karoline To staljcuri and ad-lib does not always lead to success. [Sweindo phrase, not a translation :)!]
Sarah Karoline Rem = Things (acc.sg)
Nimium = Too many
Bene = Good/Favourable
Gerere= to have/possess
---
Possessing too many good things is to be in solitude.
=
Too much wealth leads to solitude.
Nimium = Too many
Bene = Good/Favourable
Gerere= to have/possess

Дайте Нефть Из Баку I understand 99% of this one, so I'll skip it.
And yes, it's becoming a cult. We even have our liturgical language: Sweindoska.

Matteo Cheri I skip this too, it's easy to understand.
Sarah, Christian, I'll leave the fun for you, I'll catch up next round!

There is a "carry", but in a totally different meaning. There is no "curse" literally (but probably implied).
Nota bene: The 2nd part is the result of the first part

Arief Wibowo NSIH as well, Sarah Karoline (but a closer NSIH than Mikkel Ramzuiv Pittmann Wilson did)
I believe there's another meaning to gerere (other than wear, carry, posses), which is more suitable for this

Arief Wibowo (my source might be wrong, Billy James Brightraven, Christian James Meredith, Дайте Нефть Из Баку, Matteo Cheri, please correct me if I am wrong )
)Christian James Meredith Sarah Karoline is very close but bene's meaning is off a bit and nimius is a bit harder to translate. There's a word or several starting with e- that I think works better. I may be wrong though.
Arief Wibowo I think the problem is this phrase has a literal meaning that differs to how it is translated often? PM me and I'll investigate it

Arief Wibowo NSIH
"having" is okay ("to have" is better)
"is to be in solitude" (from previous guesses) is more correct than "leads to solitude"

Arief Wibowo Copy-pasting from Sarah Karoline (with edits)
Rem = Thing (acc.sg)
Nimium = Too (as in: excessively)
Bene = Good/Favourable
Gerere= to have/possess
Rem = Thing (acc.sg)
Nimium = Too (as in: excessively)
Bene = Good/Favourable
Gerere= to have/possess
Arief Wibowo NSIH, but a very close kind of NISH -- "valuable" has to be changed to meaning of "bene"
Christian James Meredith "To have something too well is to be in solitude?" comes very close to the literal meaning
"To have something too perfect is to be in solitude?" comes very close to the literal meaning's intention
"Perfection is to be in solitude" is basically *the* non-literal meaning.
The key here is that "nimius = too (something)" agrees (relates to and modifies its ending in accordance to) with "res" (rem nimium). Bene is separate, and an adverb, so it works with the verb.
So you have to think of what an adjective equivalent to "too (something)" is to find the literal meaning. I know my nitpicking might seem *excessive*, but you're so close that I want to see you perfect it

Christian James Meredith Mikkel correct! (Well, technically, I believe it's "to possess an excessive thing well, is to be in solitude", but that's the super literal translation).
Christian James Meredith Mikkel Ramzuiv Pittmann Wilson well technically the game manager for this round Arief needs to confirm, but I guess so! Find a phrase, post it and you'll be the leader for the next round.
Christian James Meredith Mikkel actually go ahead, Mas Arief is having internet problems after he accidentally took the entirety of Malaysia and Indonesia offline attempting to make everyone's homepages the Språkspelet one, so I'll have to declare your victory officially
