Elect a goat! (November 2024 goat nominations)
3October is coming to an end, soon it will be Halloween, and that means @lonocat’s month of catdom goatdom is about to be over too – which means it’s time to nominate and vote for a new goat!
(Do note that election outcomes are not the November goat’s fault. Discussion still goes in this thread.)

Everyone.
@haydesigner, are you nominating yourself?
Bump
Who else was it we were going to remember to nominate this month?
@Kidsandliz maybe this?

@werehatrack Wasn’t whom I was thinking of but I’ll nominate below in this thread since that person is a good choice too.
With November coming, we need a nominee.
We need a new Turkey, I mean GOAT for Thanksgiving Month Blame
@lonocat Mmm. Leftover goat.
How did @medz escape nomination for so long?
I nominate @medz .

@lonocat Here’s the past history of goats:

I guess medz got his dead goat logo taken away in order to regain the Kickstarter K.
@Kyeh you’re right, I withdraw the nomination.
To bad that the GOATdom is not listed in members profile, also, it’s sad that for the last few years, in your past goats link, the former goats aren’t given an obituary of what they were nominated for or what they did during their goatdom!
@Kyeh I would have nominated @rockblossom , she seams willing to reply, and a kickstarter; but profile has her as a reactive member from this month
@lonocat - @rockblossom was hinted at as a candidate but was very straightforward about how she’d just be a ghost goat. (Of course, we’ve had those before, even just a few months ago.) A shame, really, because her comments are consistently clever.
@lonocat
I know. I guess we don’t rate as highly as past goats.
@Kyeh also, the last few goats don’t even rate the Broadcast bubble at the top of the forums anymore, since the last ghost goat!
@Kyeh @lonocat The new Goat gets the Broadcast for three days, and then floats or sinks depending on the level of traffic. Of course, as a practical matter, this means it gets autoburied by any 'thon, and recent experience shows that it may stay buried after that.
@lonocat Yeah. 🫤
@Kyeh @lonocat @werehatrack It might get more traffic if it was easier to find the thread.

@Kyeh @lonocat We don’t even get the goat trophies meh used to give out.
@Kidsandliz @lonocat I know.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @lonocat Those have passed into legend.
@Kyeh @lonocat @werehatrack Well actually I was part of the group that was to get them. And a bunch had been sent by meh (if I recall correctly they had a staff shortage so mailing them out was at the bottom of their priority list at the time) to someone who said they’d send them to us but then didn’t. Who knows what they did with that box full of goat trophies.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @lonocat @werehatrack I font think any were sent. It was 2020 and the goat boasted that they talked meh into footing the bill. Meh never confirmed or denied. Then, well, covid hit and that individual claimed he could not get to his office on campus to retrieve said tropheys because of quarantine.
Stuff of legends, I guess.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @lonocat I didn’t get anything when I was goat
/giphy Peanuts I got a rock
@ironcheftoni @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @lonocat except respect and admiration. At least I think that was it.
@ironcheftoni @Kidsandliz @lonocat @ybmuG Most of us didn’t. Oh well …
What? I could have been a Ghost?
I’ll have to check the book, but then again, that wouldn’t be much fun!
@lonocat I’m glad you weren’t! Even though it’s Halloween season and all.
I nominate @tohar1 because, well, this (and @DLPanther nominated before and @werehatrack went hunting):
@Kidsandliz @DLPanther I would accept your nomination & especially for November would love to posit about all the things we are/should be thankful for.
@DLPanther @Kidsandliz @tohar1 It’s a good path and wonderful free therapy Thanksgoating is a good time to goat
@DLPanther @tohar1 Yo…This isn’t something you “accept”. It’s a “draft”… your only choice is whether or not you will show up. And you will still get blamed, thankfully for, or not,
@DLPanther @tohar1 AND @ionocat it is your fault now my profile will show an “eew they voted for their own post”. Oh wait. Not the blame thread. Too bad. This is goat related.
BUMP
