IF YOU ARE READING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME: This is the complete, raw original post. All the info here, such as deadlines and whatnot, may have been changed in further posts of mine.
This is no mere work of fiction. I only place my notice here because an agent of Mr. Pages (you know who you are) insists that my sorrows are not worth the attention of The Bazaar.
------- Fragments of a Broken Mind ----------------
The Sevenfold Stick was a lie.
I somehow made it up.
My love was dead before the story even began.
So that's what I'll do.
I will kill Mr. Eaten.
I will take his spine.
Or some other part of him.
I will fashion it into a stick, folded unto itself seven times.
A stick frisbee.
It doesn't matter if I can knock with it.
I won't knock anyway.
...
I will amass...
I will acquire...
I will have...
Heptagoat.
Heptagoats.
I will get seven.
I will have seven of them.
By this year's end.
Maybe. I hope.
Failbetter better make me canon for this.
I will literally get seven heptagoats.
I will go North.
And there better be an option there, waiting for me.
You hear me?
You. Reader. Tell your superior. Tell your upper link in the Chain. Eventually, Failbetter will hear of this.

You, sir, are getting an upvote.
But I will prove it.
I will get Seven.

Death did not stop him.
I will.
Or at least I'll get a stick out of it.

I'm pretty sure that, even if you used every action you could possibly amass between now and 23:59 December 31st, you still wouldn't be able to amass the 98 overgoats necessary for this... insane endeavour.

I'm pretty sure the frisbee fashioned from mr eaten's remains is not even worth it..... bones? Unwieldy, fragile, bad aerodynamics, and all in all losing against the "buy one get one free" 5$ frisbee from the most localest petsmart

I don't like the odds either, man.
But I am fueled.

So 2 overgoats into 1 Ubergoat, and seven ubergoats into one heptagoat.
Yea, I can pull it off. Maybe not THIS year, though. Probably.

You find this more disturbing than SMEN and releplaying?!
I greatly appreciate your compliment! Thank you!
(Ok, I might have taken that too far)

Unless you're the type to spend a lot of money on the fate-locked entry to the Nadir, and are willing to run that repeatedly, this will take you many years. As in, the Heptagoat is so hard to acquire that at this point in time only 5 people have 1 heptagoat. And the first person to acquire one, Nitebrite, sold a Hesperidean cider just to get there. Also, I should note, several Heptagoat owners and at least one Cider holder have already gone NORTH, so take what you will from this.

Great! I love it when people do something first, so I don't have to. do we know if the cider had any influence on what happend to its name-seeking owner?
