The Heptagoat

NiteBrite Posts: 1019 3/23/2015	I am finally at a point where I have enough echos of materials that I feel I can attempt to find the heptagoat, at the cost of everything I own. No one knows how the heptagoat can be obtained, but it is rumored to already be among us. The seeker nature in me says the truth is out there, and if I can find it I must try, even if it costs me dearly. I have so many precious things, each will be more difficult to part with than the last. The Hesperidean Cider may be the hardest to part with of all, but it may become necessary in the pursuit of knowledge. To avoid endless stalling and to force some ~Tough Choices~, I've set the arbitrary deadline of April 7th upon myself to finalize my preparations, and save as many things as I can before attempting the Heptagoat search (fire sale of my inventory). My first try will be to sell everything I own except the Hesperidean cider and get 7 overgoats. I pray it unlocks with 7 overgoats. That would be the ideal situation. I will still lose many things just for those 7 overgoats such as my Tier 8 scrap items and collection of 140+ searing enigmas that I saved for the return of seeking. These items are worth so much more than their echo sale price it pains me to see them go, but thems the breaks. Failing that, with a heavy heart I will say goodbye to my good friend, the Hesperidean Cider for 80,000 echos at the bazaar and get 7 more overgoats for a total of 14. Ubergoats x7 will follow after that (roughly the same value as the Cider purchase cost). That will be the extent of what I know to do and try. This is uncharted waters. No one has ever attempted this before, and there is no guarantee anything I have planned is remotely correct. In a worst case scenario I will have given away years of grinding and progress and only have a handful of goats to show for it. The losses from sale of a cider alone are staggering (an -80,000 echo change in value or roughly 1 year of optimal grinding). But I will not be deterred. Someone has to try, and that someone might as well be me. I believe in the heptagoat (but does it believe in me?). This is it, Heptagoat or Bust. That said, since this may be the final two weeks that I own a cider and I am a very community minded individual, if anyone would like a sip before it goes please message me and I will send you a sip. Its more important to me to share it while I can than it is to grind a couple more echos and save a few more of my treasures (community is the ultimate treasure). I've sent out about 31 sips to my friend on Tumblr and IRC today, and I would like to extend that same courtesy to those of you who are part of the community via the forums as well. If you want to try some sips of cider let me know. Thanks, NiteBrite -- I AM currently accepting calling cards.

NiteBrite Posts: 1019 4/14/2015	With my luck, the heptagoat will turn out to work on noman mechanics and end up melting tomorrow due to an lack of sufficient quantities of impossible theorems :P Haha I tease, but no I don't think there's more to it really, and it's not really a seeking thing either (acquiring goats is more of a bazaar thing/working within the system isn't a very eaten quality). Honestly, it's surprising how much content the heptagoat has already. Goats have been for sale at the Bazaar for how many years now? It's not exactly high traffic content. Or at least it wasn't (this may change now that it has been -discovered-). There's no real rush to have all the content right here right now this very instant either since only a small group will ever play it over the course of a very long time (we forum goers tend to be fairly hardcore players comparatively). There are other priorities like ambitions and sunless sea to think about :P But the great thing about Fallen London is that there's always that potential for more. It's a game that grows and changes and has a real life of it's own. Hardly a day goes by without some minor tweak or change. Maybe the heptagoat does nothing now, but the fact that it even exists means it could do something someday. Maybe one day it will be a player at the Marvellous (or a stake, if it allows). Maybe it will tame a Mr Sacks and infiltrate the Bazaar at the deepest levels. Or maybe, just maybe one day it will grow up to be so buff that it headbutts the sixth city back to the surface, saving London from an otherwise crushing end. Who knows what the future holds. All I know is the heptagoat, like a prodigy, holds great promise and potential for the future. edited by NiteBrite on 4/14/2015 -- I AM currently accepting calling cards.

NiteBrite Posts: 1019 4/8/2015	It hasn't failed yet. I still have the slow grind to 7 ubers to try (though it -will- take a good while to draw the required cards). But even if it fails, it's totally cool. When you are at the bleeding edge of new content, you go into these things knowing your chances are slim. Win or lose, it's about having fun and doing something I enjoy. And I enjoyed very much streaming the sale of my inventory for an hour and forty minutes to an audience of 40 people. We had a good time of it to say the least. And 14 overgoats is still a heck of an accomplishment if nothing else. It's definitely something I can feel proud about. It will be an interesting time grinding back all my important resources edited by NiteBrite on 4/8/2015 -- I AM currently accepting calling cards.

NiteBrite Posts: 1019 3/24/2015	Everyone above this post should have received a sip of cider today; however, typos and misclicks (and not being in london/out of reach of social actions) does happen, so if you have not received a sip yet please do let me know. When most people think of the Cider, the images that come to mind are of its worth as a restorative, or as a key to immortality. I've always seen a different value in it, as a gift that brings people together. If it comes to it, and I do give up the cider, I think what I will miss most about it is the weddings. Not too often, but on occasion, folks would come to me and ask if I could send their betrothed a special gift, a sip of immortality, to commemorate their special day. And I always felt that was touching, and sweet. My character owns a small boutique and sells dresses so working weddings felt appropriate. Even if I was involved no further than just the offering of a sip one time, it felt really good being a part of it and playing that role. Sure this cider has healed many wounds, but it has also been a brilliant thread woven through countless (like 4 or 5) tales of love and friendship. The Bazaar will surely get one hell of a deal if I am to part with it. edited by NiteBrite on 3/24/2015 -- I AM currently accepting calling cards.

The Dark Gentleman Posts: 188 3/23/2015	Behold the wild Seeker lacking in their most basic resource, self-flagellating Seeking opportunities. To compensate, first our dedicated Seeker prepares (overprepares? never...) for the eventual return of their beloved suicide cult. Then begins the search for new nigh-impossible heights to climb: ridiculous numbers of Hallowmas Confessions, insane amounts of Noman's Friend, tricky character-deleting moments... Becoming desperate at Seeking's long delay, the Seeker comes at last to the goal yet unattained - the Heptagoat. "It is already among us", the words taunt. But taunt no more. For now, the Seeker is on the trail, and no grind, no price, no sacrifice is so great that it shall stay their plan to obtain this mythical beast, to prove, at last, that the Heptagoat is indeed among us, and living in Nitebrite's basement. Good luck, Nitebrite. Our dark and tentacle-laden prayers go with you. And if you might send a small cider donation as said prayers are sent to you, so much the better. -- The Dark Gentleman~ Social actions welcome. Menace reductions upon request.

Kylestien Posts: 749 3/23/2015	For what it's worth, I hope you do not need to sell the Cider. I always wanted a flask of Cider myself, though I lack the patience to grind even for a Overgoat, let alone that, so seeing it sold for what may well be a fruitless quest, especially since I believe you got given it for donating to charity, would really suck, especially if this is not the way. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor however, and may you get the Heptagoat you desire. Also, If there is anything I can (Reasonably) do to aid you in achieving this goal or recovery afterwards, like should you need Making Waves from Dante's Grill to get M-----S B---D to sell or something, just send me a message as to why you need it in the invite, and if I can aid without hurting myself irrecoverably, or even just have a very good reason, I will. edited by Kylestien on 3/23/2015 -- I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons.

Master Polarimini Posts: 310 4/16/2015	In awe for this wondrous accomplishment ! I'm really curious to see what the future will bring for the heptagoat - I understand that some people feel underwhelmed by the actual use in terms of game mechanics. But frankly, those who sacrify 8 Ubergoats and a Theorem (and all the money and time dedicated to get them) are clearly on a different level than "getting +X for this attribute". Even if, I must say, I have the feeling that future steps will allow the owner of the heptagoat to drive its growth (after all it's a baby, the owner must attend to its education!). I suck at names so I won't dare to give suggestions, but I'd be immensely amused if such a creature of wonder will have a totally common name, like, "Bob" -- Devices workshop opening soon...

dov Posts: 2580 4/12/2015	Just read the parts quoted in your journal. The cost and actions needed to get the heptagoat are staggering. Do I get this right that it's 7 ubergoats, and an Impossible Theorem as well (plus 1 Fate)? I'm also impressed (as usual) with FBG - to create such specific content that in years and years of gameplay only a small handful of players will ever likely play! So, I assume the next logical step is to see if it's possible to become a Paramount Presence by having 7 Heptagoats, right? EDIT: I also assume that once Seeking content returns the next step would be to sacrifice a Heptagoat... :-) --- edited by dov on 4/12/2015 -- Want a sip of Hesperidean Cider?

Grenem Posts: 2067 4/12/2015	congratulations on your heptagoat, please mention if it opens up any new opurtunities- otherwise, my condolences for the heptagoat's general uselessness. also, did it cost you your hell connections or iron republic safe-conduct, or was that line at the end of the transformation a temporary "please leave," and not a polite phrasing of "go away and never come back, accursed wrecker of buildings!" also... try not to antagonize devils. i don't want to hear you lost your heptagoat because you sold a stained soul, and the devils caught you, killed you, and robbed you blind for such crimes. i hear this is a danger of seeking the name in present or past. edited by Grenem on 4/12/2015 -- Married!:http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/takuza I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.

BlakeTheDrake Posts: 237 4/14/2015	Quite impressive... but it will be interesting to see if it's actually USEFUL in some way. It lacks the Watchful and Dreaded/Bizarre boosts of its predecessors, after all, so if it is to have any actual use, it will be through storylets specific to its high Caprine Authority. Of course, considering the obvious connections to Mr. Eaten - the number seven, most notably, but also the details of its... creation - perhaps it HAS no use? After all, that particular line of investigation is infamous for costing much and giving nothing in return... -- One of these days, I will remember to record interesting things in my journal... http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/BlakeTheDrake
