I thought I was having a stroke for a second there.

So the next mod is the McCobbler, followed by either Steve or Nog, with Legate and Sir Gwath bringing up the rear. Correct?

Is Steve his real name? I know this is off topic but it is just annoying weather or not that is the case.

Nah, it's a joke from a previous game. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about which game it was, but I think it was The Republic, modded by Fea.

It's a joke that started in one of the earlier games, but if it annoys you, I'm sure everyone will be willing to drop it and any other references to downs history prior to your seemingly happy arrival. Wouldn't want to make anyone feel like a noob.

Crossed with Sally.

Speak for yourself! I make my living off remembering the Downs as it was 3/4 years ago.

*cough* Course, that could be because I had something of a 2 year span since then when I more or less disappeared... gave the old brain just enough time to petrify the old times.

For example... like Hakon, I also don't get the Steve-reference for Eönwë, but in my case it's because it refers back too late rather than too early.

I'm pretty sure it was tp in that game who started it.

Oh well, he's always been Eonwe to me, don't think I've ever called him Steve...erm until just now.

Edit: crossed with Form...hehe, I remember it. I was there then, but don't ask me what the joke meant.

I really don't remember how it got started (seem to remember something about a rhyme but I'm likely just crazy) but I call him Steve because there's another Eonwe on here and (while obviously I can't address a PM to 'Steve') I accidentally PM'd the wrong one once. That and I hate not making the little dots above his name but I'm too lazy to remember how to do it so it's easier for me to stick with Steve.

And Formie, you're old, and we love you for it. Now go take out your teeth and have a nap.

And the poem was,

RIP, Steve. You were a good ordo in that game...

That's what she said. And it was true, and hence he became Steve. And there was much rejoicing.
