It has come to my attention that certain senior devs for the Middle-Earth Mod have revealed closely guarded secrets regarding their out-of-work habits. Undercover as my IRC alias "Dark0ne" (sneaky, huh?) I managed to get this exclusive interview with Suzerain....

Dark0ne> So Suzy, what do you do in your spare time when not working on the MEMod?
Suzerain> I couldn't release such information with children around
*Rynos quits IRC (Scared crapless)
Dark0ne> Ok, go..its dirty isn't it?
Suzerain> Yar, I blow goats!
Dark0ne> ...

I am both saddened and appauled by this. Despite this, Suzerain has revealed the interview to the entire world in his forum signature - he has no shame - despite countless requests to change it, he has not done so. As you are all aware I, Dark0ne, am not one to force my will upon others and am not a forceful person so it seems as though his signature will remain like that for the foreseeable future.

I feel I must apologise for Suzerain's behaviour, this is a sad day for MEMod fans everywhere...and goats...

Ooh er - does he know Edward Albee? That writer's latest play (on in the London West End at the moment) is "The Goat - or Who is Sylvia?" It is about just such a - erm - custom.

I often wondered why there were so many kids about on the forum, too.

All things are obvious when you know the answer!

A sad day for men and goats... Indeed. But this is a democratic forum, and
Suzerain's sexual orientation, albeit...unusual, must be tolerated.
The decision to leave his signature and not impose yourself by forcibly removing
it does you honor, O Dark One. Erratic behaviour such as Suzerain's "blowing
goats" must be of course disencouraged, but as long as said goats are all of legal
age and consentient there is not much more we can do.
Perhaps with some time and some re-education Suzerain will see the error of
his ways and willingly remove his signature. Let us pray for his soul in the
meantime.

Well, decadence and debauchery are only to be expected from MEMod senior devs


Imagine, though, how traumatised I was to witness this inappropriate behaviour by our very own pillar of the community Dark0ne in his non-undercover (between-the-covers, perhaps?) alter ego 'Manwe'

[13:55] <Manwe> oooo...I'm not sure about that!
[13:55] * Manwe makes baa'ing sounds at Suz
[13:56] <theta> oooh....get a room you two!

I am really quite shocked, and wonder if there is something Dark0ne is not telling us?

Is there such a thing as goat-envy?





Now, since I know Dark0ne as an honourable pillar of the community I am quite certain that nothing untoward will happen to m-

One has to play devil's advocate when going into his lair Theta, you are the goat lover's cohort are you not?

Whats so bad about that? Hes just messing around it seems....

Hey! I resent the implication that I am somehow involved in livestock procurement! I was merely an innocent bystander


Anyway...wasn't me who was dressed up in the farm animal costume....


[13:55] * Manwe makes baa'ing sounds at Suz

Poor goats...

What do they have to do with this? Hope the Association for the Protection of the Animals does not read anything from here... if we want MEMod to keep on being developed

*runs away from implicated bosses*

I can only guess what Morgoth would come dressed as at the next MEMod fancy dress gathering...

o.O

Do I see any implications here...?

*quickly hides some ... things (urgh, I need some new sheep heads)*

Anybody fancying first-quality wool pyjamas???

Cheap, cheap, very cheap

Ask here

One word for Suzerain................


Ouch.

Edited you post for bad language Rynos, don't do it. Have a little read of these again please!

I finished watching Dances with Wolves last night - legendary film, amazing stuff, worth 5 dark stars.

And didn't you know...Dark Lords dance too? Except our dances have a tendency to incinerate nearby innocent bystanders. It happens.

I don't believe any of the bystanders around here are innocent!

But I think I'm not going to ask just which members of the forum are animal lovers any more!

For the sake of our friendship Dark0ne, I will pretend I never saw this thread.

*Backs away slowly*

...Well, at least it wasn't a crab.

Jeez, Daerk's been gone for a few weeks and the forum has turned into spamfest...

not that that's a bad thing...

*runs back to lurking mode*

It's just a return to the good old days - the spirit of the MWC forums lives on

*wipes away a nostalgic tear, and throws a snowball at Dark0ne*





The old forums had better smilies though!

But but forum life isn't this!! It's about order and strict discipline and and and-

*Gets distracted*

"Innocent as a new born lamb" eh? Ooo so so Suze did have a lovechild? *Eyes Malchik suspiciously*

Bah humbug! Or do I mean Baaaa humbug? I lied. I lied! I am actually a wolf! The sheep's clothing was a mere disguise.

Hoooooowl.

Wait a second... What if Suze *did* have a lovechild...

Now bear with me for just a moment, please... What if Suze's lovechild is behind the Phantom Sheep?

A scary thought, I know, but I believe it to be a viable alternative to the Nordic invasion theory, which, regrettably, had absolutely no support from members of the forums...

Shouldn't that be a phantom goat then?

Oh, wait... No, that couldn't work out. In TES, creatures generally take the form of their mother. That would be Suze, right?

Thinking about it, there must be goats in Tamriel. One of the Imperial comments in Bloodmoon is something like 'It smells like old grandpa-goat in garlic'. I trust that line was not brought in because of....

The mind boggles!

But have you noticed how these goats are multiplying? Even in my off-topic musings on quests suddenly I find a goat. It's a virus! Most of the forum members are kids already - a PANdemic!

We'll all start to grow beards next. Theta will be a nanny-goth before she knows it!

Help!!!!!!!!

Hmm, actually I've just notice that one of my favourite bands has made an album about Suzerain .... it's called "Goatlord"

Oh, stop picking on poor Suz... you're just trying to find a scapegoat for
the moral corruption of these fora!

I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe!

The REAL suz...

It dawned on me the other day...like a vision...our own suzerain is none other that the...*dum dum dum* Chupacabras (more commonly known as the 'goat sucker' For anyone whos never heard of this hideous creature of south and central american folklore, I will include this exerpt from the above webpage:

'Chupacabra means "goat sucker". This Creature was reported to have been seen throughout the Caribbean, several countries of South America and even in Florida.' 'Chupacabras are described as about four feet tall when standing errect, have huge red elongated eyes, grey skin that is part fur and part feathers, short arms with claws, legs like a kangaroo, and a line of sharp spikes down the middle of it's back. They are supposedly very powerful animals. Some report that the chupacabras have wings and can fly. '

Coincidence? I think not
Suspisious? Indeed

Personally i think you all need to grow up, really, not like i'm into bestiality but Suzerain has a right to be if he wants to so back off

Tantalus

You're telling DarkOne to grow up?

Bad idea.........


To quote Peregrine:

*Gets dustpan to clean up what's left of tantalus.*

That convp disturbed me im new so i dont fully know how you guys work but thats a little odd right????

--Ebony--

dude he's acting like a 7th grader "oooh, they said this ill tell everyone else about it" like it has anything to do with morrowind anyways, its not like blowing a goat is gonna affect the way the mod is gonna turn out. it just means that theres a little bit of time that could be spent on the mod that is instead spent with a goat.

Tantalus

Cool...is 7th grade high? Is that like, 2nd year in Uni (I think thats college to yanks)? Wowee look at me!

Looks like some goat lovers can't take jokes...

You know when i was in 7th grade i didnt really have any goat blowing fantasy but thats just me < stupid smile that means absoulty nothing

There are a great many goats in Turkey!

theres some cool animals for her to blow here like a albino chickin.

albine chickens interesting the governemt hust be responsible for that

They aren't "albino," you insentitive clods -- they're pigment-challenged.

*Scoffs*

Bigots...

well exuse me

All this talk of albino chickens makes me nervous.

All that needs to be said.
