It was a warm, hay-scented evening in the sleepy village of Gruffendale, where even the dandelions swayed like they were dancing to a rhythm only goats could hear. The meadow was alive with excitement—lanterns flickered like fireflies above the crowd, and everyone, from bleating toddlers to gray-whiskered billy elders, buzzed with anticipation. It was finally happening. The Maaaad Seeds were coming home.


Rows of hoof-polished cloven-stone paths led to the ancient hilltop stage—The Horned Amphitheater—where legends once grazed and thundered. Fans in denim vests, tie-dyed wool, and custom hoof bracelets swayed in pre-show bliss, munching alfalfa popsicles and sipping fermented thistle water from hollowed-out squash mugs. The mood was pure euphoria. Almost... too pure.


“Shear joy, isn’t it?” cooed Lady Butterhorn to her companion, nibbling delicately on a thistle blossom.
“Absolutely,” replied Sir Hayward Crunchington, flicking his tail. “But something feels... off. Like the calm before a hooficane.”


No one spoke of the last time a show this big came to Gruffendale—of how the amplifiers screamed so loud they cracked the salt licks, how the mosh pit spiraled into a full-on stampede, and how one particularly intense riff summoned a swarm of wild bees from the eastern holler. That was years ago, of course. Ancient history. Surely, this time would be different.


A low hum vibrated through the grass, rattling molars and ruffling beards. The lights dimmed. A single spot shone on the fog-blanketed stage. A silhouette appeared—four horns, two sunglasses, and a guitar shaped suspiciously like a garden rake. The crowd erupted in bleats of joy.


“Gruffendale!” came the thunderous voice from the stage. “We are the Maaaad Seeds. We came to rock your horns clean off.”


Goats reared. Hooves clashed. A tambourine burst into spontaneous flame.


“But be warned,” growled the lead singer, stroking a suspiciously evil-looking goatee. “Tonight... we bring all of the chaos of a goat, none of the electric fence control.”


The lights snapped off.
The crowd screamed.
And while it seemed all fun and games now, some of the goats couldn't shake a feeling that the meadow would never be the same again.

Rules and Administrative Bureaucracy

1. Most importantly: this is a game and is meant to be fun. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Players resorting to personal attacks will be removed from gameplay without warning. NO EXCEPTIONS, AND NO SUBS FOR MODKILLED PLAYERS.
Examples of behavior we do not tolerate: name calling (e.g. “shorty is being a b****”), calling other players’ play poor/bad/subpar, or personal attacks ("shorty is an insufferable toddler"). Please note that calling someone a wolf or wolfy is not a personal attack.

There are several brand new noobs in this game. As such, we will be taking civility EXTRA seriously. If you show worse emotional regulation than SAR's toddler, you will be spanked with a ruler (her words, not mine) or whacked over the head with a shovel, and informed that you are taking a thread time out.

2. Cycles will close at 9 PM EDT (10 PM Mermaidland/8 PM CDT/6 PM PDT). If I am not around to lock the thread, please STOP posting at the time of cycle close. Nights will be open, with a brief locked period while I get flavor and flip posted from the day cycle.

3. Do not discuss the game outside of the thread or your role PM. Do not open PMs with other players. There may be mechanics for PMs in this game, but PMing willy-nilly is not allowed.

4. Players must make some arbitrary number of content posts per 24 hour cycle. Naked votes do not count as content posts. Players not meeting this requirement will receive a single warning; multiple infractions will result in death.

I will not be counting posts, but if you're ghosting the thread, you will get spanked, and not in the good way

5. Dead players: please keep your on-thread posts to a minimum, and if you do post, please do so in ******stars******. Please do not react to strategy posts in the game once you are dead. Same goes for tots and subs - please do not react to strategy posts at all.

6. Ties will be resolved through mass execution, as per usual. Why would we change what is already perfection? 😍

7. Please do not quote, screenshot, or copy/paste from your mod PM. Please don’t fake quotes, screenshots, or copy/pastes from a mod PM either.

8. Editing posts is permitted, but do not delete them. Remember to unvote if you are changing your vote.

9. Votes must be formatted in bold or #########surrounded by octothorpes#########. Please make the mods’ lives easier by not hiding your vote in a wall of text. Please use the terms “vote” or “yeet” when placing your vote. In mayoral elections, please use the terms "vote" or "elect." Please undo your previous vote if you are changing it by saying unvote/unelect/unyeet [whomever], formatted the same as a regular vote.

I hate the threadpoll system and will not be using it, so make sure you vote on thread.

10. Do not discuss or share night results before the night write-up is posted. Strategizing between vote closing and write up is permitted, including for the person voted out.

11. If you require a sub due to unavoidable circumstances, please contact the mods in your role PM, and do not discuss it on the thread.

12. The use of village code and angleshooting will not help you in this game. Examples of what we consider village code or angleshooting:
"My role PM contains the phrase "vanilla beans are the best beans," does anyone else have that phrase?"
"All the wolves that flipped were creatures you find in the mines, so let's all role reveal and solve by role names".
"shorty hates randing wolf and she subbed out almost immediately, so I bet that slot is a wolf, let's vote it"

This is a game where assumptions are dangerous. The mechanics in this game are NOT standard.

I repeat, they are NOT STANDARD MECHANICS. You are in the twisted world of ShARty.

Assume at your own peril. The game is unsolvable by mass claim, so you might as well not waste your time on it

13. Please indicate that you have read through and agree to the rules by angry reacting this post.​

The last time that Gruffendale held a mayoral election, it was rife with scandal. Biscuit von Hoofenstein, a charismatic Nubian goat with a flair for dramatic speeches and headbutts, had announced his candidacy for mayor with promising “a salt lick in every backyard” and “free-range Fridays,” Biscuit campaigned on a platform of unity, pasture expansion, and banning lawnmowers (“They’re just grass murderers,” he insisted, and those who knew Biscuit and SDN lore knew it was always grass-eating season). His main rival, Councilor Picklefeather the Duck, had accused him of inciting unrest during the infamous barn dance blackout. Undeterred, Biscuit vowed to “restore the bleat to power.” With every bleat, Gruffendale edged closer to either revolution—or total goat-led utopia.

And while that time, the revolution struck down many fine bearded folks, the citizens of Gruffendale vowed this time would be different. This time, they would elect a leader who would be able to shepherd Gruffendale to a safe and fun festival. This time, no blood would be shed.

They hoped.

The first day cycle will be a mayoral election. Choose your candidate!

For reasons, we encourage the mayoral candidates to be people who enjoy goat gifs and being creative. The office comes with duties, after all!​

[vampyrica]

i might not be super active tonight, i had a really crappy day so i might just lurk and pop my head in here and there. welcome noobies! gl and hf as we say on TOS

 

[GreedyBanger]

I actively do not wish to be the mayor and would encourage nobody to vote for me (looking at you Kay)

 

[KayJayQueue]

I don’t want to be elected but my vote can be bought, all offers will be considered.

 

[GreedyBanger]

Oh Hi, speak of the devil

 

[KayJayQueue]

I actively do not wish to be the mayor and would encourage nobody to vote for me (looking at you Kay)

Why would you think I’d vote you?

 

[GreedyBanger]

Why would you think I’d vote you?

Not so much that you would but that out of anyone you'd be the most likely to.


Vote: Madrigal
This mayor may not be a good decision

 

[beans2020]

Hi friends!!!!!!!!!
Give me a good persuasive campaign spiel and my vote is yours 😉

 

[mkg323]

Hello there! I'd like formally offer my services for the elected role of mayor. For those of you that know me, you know this is not a role that I have had before, but am eager to fill. For those that don't know me, your probably thinking, is she qualified for this ESTEEMED role? and the answer is no. I mean, I used the incorrect "your" in that last sentence, so I'm pretty much illiterate. BUT, I can say with confidence that I can provide immaculate memes, sublime vibes, occasionally wolf hunt, and in the event of a tie (if tie-breaking is a role given to the mayor) I will do my due diligence, and carry out my duties in an incredibly impartial manor, by using eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

elect mkg

 

[mkg323]

Glad to see none of you have read the rules smh

I read the rules shorty
I can prove it, bc there is a typo I noticed

[supershorty]

if tie-breaking is a role given to the mayor

imagine thinking I'd give tie break power to anyone other than the grim reaper, that's how you know it's been too long since I actually modded

[potentialsheltervet]

Elect PSV

I'm indifferent to being in office. I'm certainly capable of posting gifs and being silly, but I'm not fiending for the title.
Though my activity will probably be different since I'll be traveling. I might be less active. Or more. Or the same.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

Statistics make me wary of this claim
