> [@Elysian](#): > > :eek: But how are the MPSIMS people going to carry out their welcoming rituals without the goat? The goat probably does need some time off (he’s still wobbly around the knees)… Maybe instead of cash, I could renew with a goat? Then we’d have a backup for MPSIMS. My does got loose and had a party with the neighbor’s bucks, so I have considerably more goats than I need at the moment. I have one that would be perfect for breaking in newbies. He’s tough, but fair :eek: ---
