| − | === 178 - 7 === |
||
| − | Harkens back to the official WoW.com/feathermoon boards when a notorious rabble-rouser named Soulblade infamously began a thread simply to boast of his "Awesome PvP Skillz", stated in the subject line as: |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Me 178 today Horde 7.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | This led to the Great Soulblade Flamewar of '05 which raged across factions and threads for weeks, before dying down with Soulblade's merciful disappearance.The entry of the ratio "178:7" into the Feathermoon lexicon was just one of the inexorable ripples of this great storm. |
||
| − | |||
| − | To be "178:7", or simply "178" at something means that you are not only good at something, but so good at it that you deserve boasting rights. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Origin: Back in the days of the "old school" PvP battlegrounds, when Arathi Basin was just a distant dream and Warsong Gulch was the honor grind, there was a certain rogue named Quave who would stalk around the battlefield, waiting for opportune moments when his allies would whittle an opponent down so that he could steal the Killing Blow with a well timed Ambush. He would do this so much that, in time, the phrase "You Quaved my kill!" became common amongst the regular PvP Horde. |

Unfortunately, his signature still read "THUNDERBLADE", inspiring the war-cry of easily amused people the world over. |

| − | A series of forum trolling, and ninja looting cases. Atheros 70 Human Paladin was the alledged ninja looter of the Blackwatch guild bank. Atheros being the crazed 14 year old took the time to defend himself in three different threads spanning across the forum.Though the evidence brought up against Atheros was dim as the screenshots were obviously photoshopped, it is still remembered as a good reason to say 'pics or it didn't happen' more often on the forums. Ended up being a way to hurt Atheros rep, while the troll guild Blackwatch laughed it off |

| − | ==Reijik, Winkiki, Atheros, Pelotitas, and Ultim== |
||
| − | The three are dubbed one of the most annoying trade trolls. Atheros will randomly hijack trade saying something along the lines of, "MAC VS.PC. GO!." Which will throw the whole purpose of the channel off. Winkiki will later argue with Atheros over a petty duel, then Reijik will join in followed by a group of his lovers. Ultim and Pelotitas have been known to mock everyone from gays, to certain ethnicities, and have even harassed guilds! These five people are probably the Allies biggest troll committee. Winkiki and maybe Atheros being the only sane ones of the bunch, while Rei is a burnt out 30 year old.. |
