Summoning an autumn goat (September 2018 nominations)

@PlacidPenguin So that isn’t a nomination. Right? Trouble is I don’t think “proper form” is that we vote “against” someone being goat, only for them to be goat.

@Kidsandliz

It’s Meh. There really is no standard protocol for stuff.

“Do or do not, there still better be cookies.”

@PlacidPenguin Oh as long as you cruise the internet there will be cookies.

@sammydog01 Seconded. When be da hangin’?

Also it’s my fortieth birthday next month.

@katylava No better way to celebrate . Then you can blame yourself for being over “that hill” (don’t worry there are more of them) too.

For those of you saying “who the heck is Katylava and why should I vote for her” she is a beloved ex staff member who had the balls to do a mad ape den video. She sounded pretty darn good too.

@sammydog01 Definitely ballzy.

@katylava I consulted the Magic 8 ball asking if age had anything to do with being a monthly GOAT and it kept coming up with, “Answer Unclear, Ask Again Later” so I consulted the US Constitution. In all the wisdom of our forefathers, it said one could be President at the tender age of 35, so to me at least, 40 is plenty to be a GOAT.

@katylava @tohar1 Hey even a death certificate can’t get you out of being goat. I uploaded one and was goated anyway. We also had a father daughter goat combo and the daughter, when she was goated was well below either age discussed… thus age (either direction) is no barrier.

@katylava - 40?? No way!!
Anyway, this will be perfect. We’ll have a lot to celebrate.

@katylava @Kidsandliz @tohar1 Are you saying that goat was just a kid? Is that what you’re saying? A kid…? Get it? Do you get it? Yuk yuk yuk…!

@shahnm I think a battery or two fell out of your fridge. Get it? Do you get it? Yuk, yuk, yuk.

/giphy laugh it up fuzzball

@katylava @Kidsandliz @shahnm Wow! You are on it today…or perhaps you are on SOMETHING today!!

@therealjrn if i wasn’t in the running i’d vote for @blaineg for the babylon 5 reference

@therealjrn I doubt it makes any difference, but I’m goofing off in England for a couple of weeks.

@blaineg Nice! My grandmother was born in England. But because purple, you’re going to keep getting nominated.

@jst1ofknd Nope you have to be nominated by others.

@jst1ofknd @Kidsandliz No, didn’t @DrunkCat get the GoaT nod after continually nominating himself? I think there is precedence.

@DrunkCat @Kidsandliz @mfladd

I won’t continually nominate myself. I can wait my turn.

@DrunkCat @Kidsandliz @mfladd

Who am I kidding… I’m going to start campaign promises.

@jst1ofknd @Kidsandliz @mfladd Unbelievable. I would never do such things. I got to where I was by being the icon everyone seeked. I am simply the best and was rewarded for such. Spreading such fake news harms this great community and makes it not so great.

@DrunkCat @jst1ofknd @Kidsandliz @mfladd Sad!

@DrunkCat @jst1ofknd @Kidsandliz @mfladd somehow I knew that was coming

@jst1ofknd Empty promises, I hope!

@llangley You must be the witch being hunted, then.

@sicc574 Don’t be afraid to dive right in. We’ll listen to you. We always encourage people to join our discussions.

Oh, and ask questions, if you need to. Someone will answer you eventually.

@Barney @sicc574

I’m a new poster and I can tell you that Pollyanna is right.

@jst1ofknd Pollyanna saw the world through rose colored glasses. I’m a pessimist.

@sicc574

These are not rules. Customs, peehaps:?

Voting:
As soon as you know something of the personalities and can choose without making a random selection.
(Or whenever you want to)

Nominating:
As soon as you know enough to make an interesting-to-others case for your nominee.
(Or whenever you want to)

Being nominated:
As soon as you become so visible as an individual that you become something of a target.
(Or whenever you want to nominate yourself, which is cool)

Being Goated:
Hmmmm. By being the biggest or most interesting target during that voting cycle (ie, you have been quite “noticeable” and people want more of you).
(Or because the evil gods or evil hackers decided your fate thusly)

@Barney

I’m just doing what you said.

@jst1ofknd Oh, heavens, no one should do what I say.

@Barney

So @sicc574 shouldn’t dive in and ask questions? I’m confused…

@f00l @sicc574

According to rules and traditions I hereby nominate myself!

@jst1ofknd @sicc574

You are supposed do self-nominate in a main topic post (not indented), not in a reply (indented).
(I think)

(Votes aren’t counted for reply posts)

Other than that, no problem. Go for it!

@jst1ofknd @sicc574 I’m confused, too.

@Barney @sicc574

Mission accomplished. (Self satisfied smile)

@sicc574 i just said “fuck” a lot and i got nominated. so, there’s that.

@carl669 @sicc574 fuuuuuuuuuck duuuuuuuude.

@carl669

You Fucker.

@f00l sometimes. if i’m lucky.

@Barney

So we shouldn’t not listen to you when you say that we shouldn’t listen to you?

@Barney @jst1ofknd barney sees the world thru purple colored glasses

@jst1ofknd He already has almost daily GoaTy threads to prove it

@mfladd

I’ve started banking GoaTy threads instead of posting them. I have about 11 mediocre ideas in a spreadsheet.

@jst1ofknd Spreadsheet?

@mfladd

I already had the app on my phone. I didn’t care to find a text editor.

@jst1ofknd To vote, just star the original nomination post. (For future reference, not that @katylava is going to lose this month.)

@jst1ofknd

Sometimes it takes a few months for people to feel you are “next up”.

So keep trying. Assuming you don’t “win” this time, I think you will make a great Goat when the time is right.

@jst1ofknd

Voting more than once for the same mehtizen to become Goat (using different uid’s) is considered very bad form. (Excepting, possibly, @ignorant’s election as Paused Goat a few years back).

However, all are perfectly free to vote for as many nominees as they may wish.

So Vote! Go-at For It!

@f00l @jst1ofknd I’d never do such a thing.

/8ball Is @Ignorant’s real name Joe Isuzu?
Outlook good

@narfcake

You’re a medic. Can’t you fix that omission?

@f00l Next month.

@Joy823

Who wouldn’t?

Anyone with a sound mind? You volunteers are loco!

@narfcake

I hope you sing the song when that happens.

@narfcake so did you fix it already?
