Due to the recent chapter of LTMP 19 and yet another cliffie, here is a poll that many of you asked for!

-Mike

We all know what I'm voting for

ACK!!!! Oh no....

Umm, I will note that this poll allows mutliple choice, so y'all can vote for both the second and third options...

FIXED!

But the second and third options go so well together!

I'm looking for a fourth option of slow roasting torture to make the Goat concede and give us happy resolution so we can continue to enjoy the story.

I like jkeeling's idea too

ACK! Slow roasting??

Noo!!! Now, now, be nice... Here I gave ya'll a nice, happy, calm chapter for Christmas, and you're proposing slow roasting?
Ummm, I knew writers ofen got flamed by readers, but I never knew it was meant literally!

Even though he claims it was a "nice, happy, calm chapter" and that he gave it and we refuse to accept just the fact that it is "nice, happy, calm chapter".

Therefore, we just accept that the goat gave the chapter and since the chapter ends in a cliffie, CJ, your story has a cliffie that you gave!!!

P.S
Did the goat just dig his own grave???!!!

*checks*

HE DID!! HE DID!!

The second and the third does go well together,,, I say that this Poll is bias and has been fixed in advance and therefore all the result will mean nothing.

I'll deff. have to say the second option, better have the goat safe and sound than to eat him while blaming shadowgod

Actually, it sounds like a new tradition for New Years, slow roasted goat added to the menu.

Heh added!

.........But I already voted!! and that last option sounds great!!

Hey! Not fair. Some of us have already voted and do not have the opportunity to vote again!

*pouts*

Hehe

Does this mean that the goat recipe thread will come back?

Are those the only options? I liked the tar and feather idea someone had several months ago. I don't remember what the goat did that time but I'm sure it was equaly bad.

It was the kiss problem I think...

Bad? Me? When have I ever been bad? I'm just a sweet, innocient (and QUIET!) goat, pounding away on a keyboard...
And I wouldn't look good in tar and feathers! (Who ever heard of a feathered goat?)



Problem??? But Ishy, that wasn't problem... I was just giving y'all what you said you wanted! There was so much demand for a kiss that I gave in and put a kiss in that chapter, and even entitled it "The Kiss". I was just being nice.

I believe that is a sign of the goat's prolific post-ness.

Or that he may be typing more cliffhangers!

Should CJ Be Mounted Ontop My Fireplace?

YES BURN BURN!!![ 5 ] 45.45%]

NO WAY Why would you want to harm the innocent goat[ 4 ] [36.36%]

It's All Shadowgod's Fault....[ 1 ] [9.09%]

Slow Roasting Torture to make the Goat concede and give us a happy resolution [ 1 ] [9.09%]

..........."innocent GOAT" How is CJ able to cast 4 votes

Think that CJ voted for not being roasted or tortured,, same for me. That means that 2 others do agree with us, they're just shy of the retribution you'll all give 'em if they come forward.

That also means that there prolly won't be any goat torturing nor goat rosting in the near future.

.....Probably not, but CJ must have blamed Shadowg_d for his predicament That still leaves 6 votes for roasting & burning, ....course Graeme has yet to weigh in

Personally, I don't mind the cliffhanger. I truly appreciate them, though this is the first time I've ever admitted it. I can already see the rotten eggs and tomatoes being thrown at me. I shall hide now. lol

............But the goat always claims to never use cliffhangers, no eggs please but if the tomatoes aren't too bad save them for the roast!!

*Puts away his knives*

I had it all planned out too, =(

It's not like it's the end of the story. Now, if it were the end, I would definitely have issues with the cliffhanger.

I don't really mind the cliffies... I just like giving the (slow roasting) Goat a hard time about em. I just don't like the IDEA of losing one of INSTINCT.



Man car wrecks suck. Where is Graeme.... I could sure use some accupuncture.

I think most of the people here like to give the shy and quiet lurker goat a hard time about them.

personally I like stirring up the mix,, lets face it, it would be boring if *everyone* were to be against the goat, lol. that and cause CJ doesn't use much of those,, so what they were just hanging on to a cliff that's not a cliffhanger, that was just them doing some sport.


sacha

You need some serious therapy if you continue believing in alla that!

Seriously, what did the goat give you? Eh?

I'm back. I've been away for a few days -- sorry.

My view is that it's an incorrect news report. It wouldn't be the first time, and wouldn't be the last.

My particular irritation is that the characters in the story know who it is, but CJ hasn't told the readers! I can't see why he wants to keep it a secret, and hence my vote for the slow roasting.....

Car wreck? Are you okay?



Thank you Sacha!!! Yes indeed, not a cliffhanger.




Graeme, slow roasting? Yipes... Now, now, don't blame me, it was Barbra who didn't mention the name to Helen...

the reason I voted No is that I dont have any fireplace

bah, that's still good enough, we'll take any "no"s that we can,

............Ermm! You live in Switzerland and don't have a fireplace??

As you see, I'm living in a town of 300'000 inhabitants on flatland, and not in the mountains . My apartment is too small to have a fireplace but has fuel central heating. At Christmas's eve, the problem for my grand and great-grandchildren was the lack of a place to put their shoes in .
BTW, we are a mix, we celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah .

B) ........Nice picture!! Of course I just assumed that this time of year you are under tons of snow and everyone has a fireplace, ....you know what they say when one assumes .....We celebrate every holiday

Yay Graeme, let's go plan how we are going to do this!

Any no vote is a good vote IMHO.



But LC, didn't you see my explanation? It was Barbra who didn't mention the name!!!

Your explanations mean poop to me <3

All i have to say is you have chapter 20 to redeem yourself goat, or else I can't be responsible when all hell breaks lose!

Actually, not only did NONE of the characters mention the name, but neither did the author in the narration. By your logic, all would therefore be guilty. And before you say it, so is everyone else, but we don't know who it is....

Ahh, but, ummm, we left everyone but Helen and Barbra when Steve came up over the edge of the cliff. So, at that point, those characters didn't know or were too shaken to say. Then we are with Helen and Barbra, and Barbra knew first but Barbra initialy decided to refrain from saying the name, and then realized that "not knowing is no kindness" ( ) but by that time Helen had looked at the computer and seen the name for herself. So, in the storyline, only Helen and Barbra actually knew the name before the chapter ended.

As for the author... Ummm, maybe the author was so grief stricken that he couldn't bring himself to say?

That's a real nice pic of geneva!, But I gotta say that all 3 times I went there, that water thing (I dunno how to say it in english actually,, "le jet d'eau" was off, something with too much wind, or it was too dark to see.




But, you know, it woulda made you feel better to say the name,,, it helps in the grieving process they say. so you might as well say it now.

Sorry, but I can't... It's the Echidna; he has lots and lots of spines, and if i give a spoiler, he'll make a pincushion out of me!

Tell him to send the spines my way. I am willing to try accupuncture to get rid of the muscle cramps and pain.

I am willing to wait to find out in the next chapter.... I think it should be titled Redemption since we all know the Goat is going to try and redeem himself in the eyes of his fans.

Hiding now.

I hope you feel better soon! Ouch....

I agree Redemtion it should be!

Alas, CJ has already announced the next chapter title as "The show must go on".

But but but titles can be changed prior to posting....
He can keep the original title and just append Redemption to the end.



I'm doing alright. Was just banged around a bit.... Stupid seatbelt... thought it was latched and apparently it wasn't... found out when I met the roof of the van above the windshield with my head and the dash with my knees.

I need to learn how to do multiple quotes in a post. LoL

Rather than clicking on the "Reply" button, click on the "Quote" button of each of the posts you want to quote. When you've selected them all, click on "Add Reply" at the bottom and it will quote all of the selected posts in your reply.

Thank you soooooooo much. This thing didn't come with a tutorial or users guide. LoL How bout lending me some of your spines for accupuncture treatments? Though I gotta find someone around here that knows how to do it first I suppose.
