Btw, i'm pretty sure that both Satis' and Satis's is correct. Could be that i was dreaming in class tho, most likely even.

Nah, if it ends in "s", there's no need for another "s" at the end - trust me - I speak proper english.

umm, you're wrong Inquisitor. Satis is singular, thus to add possession it has to be Satis's. Satis' doesn't make sense at all. It could be Satises' would imply that Satis is plural.
Maybe you should read your own links?

I do - and it's "Satis'".
Rule: If it ends in an "s", leave off the apostrophe.
"Some authorities always add an apostrophe only to any word ending with s, regardless of its pronunciation. This is acceptable. Whichever standard you follow, be consistent.
Example: the dress' hem
(Word ends in s, pronunciation does not matter.) "
From here:
http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000131.htm
And here:
http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/punct/apostrophe.html
Example: "Chris Jones' dog"

Both are accepted and understood, but the proper one is "...s'", not "...s's".
So I win.
