I am VERY excited to announce that I've made my very first Arithmancy prediction! There is an approximate 80% that the world will end in 2019.

Don't think that excuses you from our competition this month, marching band! We're still going to practice like all our lives depend on it. Who knows, maybe they do!

We can start a sustainable farm! It'll be easier to get all the supplies before the apocalyptic looting begins.

never had a better excuse to get a goat IN MY LIFE

[nublada]

Better make it two goats, female and uncastrated male. Though I did read that buck goats smell really bad, so you'll want a separate pasture for him. Unless you don't think that'll be a major concern in the apocalypse?

[gasgiant]

nah everyone's probably smelly after the world ends anyway since water'll get scarce pretty quick after all the infrastructure crumbles so who's going to mind a little goatstink ya know

ANYWAY until the world ends we can just keep the goat in hyperion's bed problem solved

[nublada]

If resources are scarce and our goats become a luxury commodity, there's a chance someone will use the goat stink to track us down and steal him.

[gasgiant]

yeah but i was thinking we could like make and sell cheese [...] or baby goats i guess [...] and get rich in phone popsockets or whatever the currency of the future will be and buy some protection

[nublada]

I don't trust anyone who sells their protection. We need to cultivate their loyalty.

[gasgiant]

so we give people free goat cheese

[...]

say like once a day

[...]

and they start to like us more and we earn their loyalty THAT way

[nublada]

But not everyone. Some people will try to take advantage of us.

[gasgiant]

good thing we both got the muscles

[girlbeast]

goats need a herd

[nublada]

A herd of goats will call attention to us before we're ready.

[girlbeast]

goats are social, need at least three to keep em happy

[nublada]

Options are limited.

[girlbeast]

then you ain't gonna have goats for long. and i hope you got secure fencing as well cause those little bastards will always find a way out

[nublada]

I'm perfectly prepared for my post-apocalyptic goat farm, but thank you for your input!

[girlbeast]

sure you are
