I do wonder whether Eugine is deliberately being obvious as a sort of fuck-you to the LW community in general and its moderators in particular. “You guys are so ineffectual that I can keep just using names chosen the same way and saying the exact same things and being super-obvious about it, and before anything’s done I’ll have had months to fight the good fight. Hahahahaha!” With, perhaps, a side order of “See how weak and useless the namby-pamby liberal mindset makes you.”
Agreed. (But simpler explanations are not always correct, and my mental model of Eugine—which admittedly is probably not terribly good—feels quite likely to do that out of some combination of fun and spite.)
Right poem, wrong fragment.
Likely future names: Golden_Horn, Nameless_Throne, Last_Knight, Strong_Gongs, Red_and_Purple, Gun_upon_Gun, Cross_and_Castle, Scarlet_Running.
Less likely: Cold_Queen, Doubtful_Seat, Timeless_Houri, Kissed_in_Galilee, Leprous_White, Sick_and_Sunless, Yellow_Face, Painted_Poop.
The sphexishness is strong with these ones (both Eugene and the LW moderators).

A simpler explanation is that there is no reason for him to be non-obvious.
