I didn't recieve my fishy stick until a year after I joined, but I've still seen it from time to time.

I never got a Fishy Stick

Also, you are thinking of Captain Eldrad.

Well then, have http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081112192241/tesfanon/images/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tesfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Fishy_stick&h=230&w=140&sz=11&tbnid=2lk5dO_2SitH8M:&tbnh=108&tbnw=66&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfishy%2Bstick&zoom=1&q=fishy+stick&usg=___X2EpT5taYCJUCTHqwRyEU9xnSU=&sa=X&ei=bw__TIjnOIassAOPrZ2wCw&ved=0CB8Q9QEwAw

I still give out fishy sticks when replying to a new members first or second post. But with nearly 20,000 new members since the release of New Vegas, it's difficult to keep up with demand.

When I first joined there were perhaps only 29,000 members and it was a bit more personable.

In my entire life I've given out just ONE Fishy Stick. I was looking for a fulfliing experience, somewhat mystic in its selfishness and closely knit to a transcendental ethereal-beingness.

But I felt nothing special.

The newbie who got it, however, got the day off to celebrate.

I dare say, I was the one to give out fishy sticks to a lot of the newer users who are active right now.

I recieved a fishy stick when I joined and I've handed out a few myself, I sometimes still do if I notice someone's first post.

Actually, we've resorted to giving out Nirnroots in these economically unstable times... :sadvaultboy:

yeah, could be .

I never go one... :violin: But that's okay, I was never too worried about it. Besides, if I really wanted one I'd just give it to myself. :twirl:

Haha finally i understand what that bloody book was all about when i found it in Morrowind some years ago! Thats a neat tradition indeed
