Short version for folks who are just wanting basic details. We are based on Wyrmrest Accord, Horde. Smaller sized guild. All content. Many of us love PVP, we’ll get into raids and such later on once geared. Not serious, very laid back, we love tacos and bacon. Come on dooooown Johnny. 
The Mission
The Goats of Thunder strive to be a unique collection of talent, experience, acquired taste and an almost universal devotion to all things strange. Our community has crossed oceans of time, explored the strange vendor machines in Japan and done with Ministry of Silly Walks. We then realized that we really don’t fit in anywhere else. Which is okay. Mostly. I’m fine with it. I still have some of those scars from the early days when I tried to do things like you are supposed to do. Many communities and guilds will tell you that they are about these same things. Well, buckle up because its about to get interesting in here my friend.

How the Guild Operates
People are going to tell you that we have too many channels in our discord, that we are full blown chaos and also that we demand coupons at drive-through windows rather than bring our own. Which is silly. Everyone has an app now for that. Doesn’t stop us. Through wind, rain, and inclement weather this community is a bonded family. (This is due to everyone feeling like they can be themselves here or because I use Super Crazy Glue on their keyboards and they can’t leave). Originally this place started as a father and son venture until my boy moved out on his own. We’ll be okay since he still sends memes. If you want us to look into a game, try out a new bot or get absorbed into a game we are open to trying just about anything. Now on to the details!
How you Fit In
If you’ve ever felt like someplace was too big for you, that people won’t take you seriously, should you decide that folks have overbearing commitments on your time – you likely felt like us before I made this place. We are the outcasts of society, the inner core of a structure that makes all things possible. The Goats are that strange substance you find on your hands after checking the oil in your car when you are 100% certain the mechanic screwed it up again. That’s right we even taught the AllState guy. I like to term us competitively casual which generally stands for ‘we like to complete content just don’t pressure us into it’. You’ve got to be sneaky about how you ask. I recommend plying us with gifts and bad manners.
Requirements and Information
• Discord is our voice and hanging out application. You really won’t get a true sense of who we are unless you are in there. Most of us use it for text-based applications, we’ll gather for raids in voice.
• Our community is 18+ after some kids tried to steal our candy.
• We are absolutely LGBTQ+ friendly, just be aware that we’ve got representation across various countries, age ranges and backgrounds. Our folks enjoy a healthy debate.
• I’ve employed professional trolls and put them into jobs here. Meaning, you’ll either have a shield against evil or you’ll get booted into the ground within roughly ten minutes.
• We don’t tolerate racism. Ever. Don’t do it.
• The community as a whole engages in all sorts of content. Many of us are lifelong PVP players. Games on PC are our most likely gathering point, while there are console and Parcheesi enthusiasts strewn about to make us look good.
We Offer to You
• Hilarious and an often very uncensored environment that will make your head spin, have you grabbing for the wheel and dancing just out of range of a spray bottle.
• Leadership that has been in charge of communities with 500+ members, entire servers or some that can barely manage to do their laundry.
• Some amazing beat boxing skills.
• Multitude of channels catering to every whim, desire and strongly worded choices for President of the local WhineMCA.
• People who play way too long into the night, have poor sleep schedules and often can hardly agree on which way the door is located. Even though we just came in.
• Both cat and dog pictures.
What you bring to our supper table
• Please be open minded! These folks are my friends, confidantes and dilletantes. I’ll give you a spare key to the dungeon if you ask nicely enough.
• Sense of humor. This is the place we gather after a long day of work to unwind with each other. We are weird and it won’t wash off.
• Never eat spinach with a stranger. Also do not pet a burning dog.
• Should you not meet the rather open ended requirements for one of our games, come talk to us first before exiting the building. I’m open to feedback and always am looking to improve what the Goats are all about.
• Just be yourself.
Rules
- Be kind to each other. A little good natured teasing is always okay, but don’t let it cross the line into being mean. We’re all here to have a good time so lets keep it that way.
- We’re an open and inclusive group here, expressing hate and discrimination will NOT be tolerated. Bans will follow.
- If a joke or action goes too far and someone says to stop, you stop. Fail to do this at your own peril.
- We have a 1 month activity policy. Anyone who doesn’t interact with the discord at least once a month is subject to being purged. Additionally, anyone who doesn’t pick a role in our role assignment channel may be kicked at random by our bot. If you will be inactive for extended periods of time please tell an admin!
Schedule
Subject to change depending on the game. Right now we are exploring the glorious World of Warcraft and at least some portion of us are online in the evening. Once we hit max level dungeons and raids will be put on the calendar. We’ve still got players active in Guild Wars 2 and they’d love to get to know you too!
Feel free to hit me up in game to see if we would be a good fit (Fatherbliss#1238). Alternately join our discord! Make sure to select roles to see all of our content. Now with a Community Join link for your convenience. Thanks!
