2024 Monster Masquerade Starting Soon & Treat Collecting!Posted by
Krisgoat modon 2024-10-02 01:52:18
Events for Monster Masquerade will begin rolling out today, and more events will be added during the upcoming week.
As we prepare for the event, members may start things off with our traditional Treat Collecting forum event!
Treat Collecting is an enjoyable tradition for residents of the Goatlings Kingdom. Legend says that in order to distract and calm the mischievous intentions of Baddies, small pieces of food, candy, and even small gifts are gathered and left out for them! Over time, Masqueraders began collecting these goodies for themselves as well. These small offerings are called Treats!
Click Here for more info and to begin! 
Members don't need to be on a Monster Masquerade Team to participate in this event. It's just for fun! So grab as many treats as you can for your collection. Don't forget to say thank you!

How To Join A Team
Visit the Community Center to find the Team Signups page. Click the "Join This Team!" button to be signed up for the Team of your choice! Sign Ups will close early on September 30th, or when spaces are full. Spaces are limited to 1,200 members (600 per team) in total.
Every two days, more slots for each team will be added.
Team Slot Schedule

Since spaces are limited, only members who plan to participate in Team events should join a Team. Points/prizes are only awarded to active Team Members. Team events can be challenging, and participation typically requires a member to post a drawing or text, so basic html and image hosting knowledge is encouraged. Members post Team event entries on our all-ages friendly Bulletin Boards. Bulletin Board entries will only become public once a moderator has approved them, and members cannot interact with each other on them.
Monster Masquerade also features bonus events that anyone can join regardless if they are on a Team or not!
As always, creating multiple accounts, or using other ways to gain an unfair advantage over other members is against our Terms Of Service and will result in a ban. Thank you for helping us to keep events fun and fair for all!
CLICK HERE to join a Team! About Monster Masquerade
It's that time of year again when Baddies seem to play the most tricks and cause the most mischief! In order to to ward them off, the residents of the Goatlings Kingdom are masquerading as Baddies, and pretending to be mischievous, so the real Baddies will think the town is already overrun, and leave it in peace.
Monster Masquerade is a big event held in October where members can join one of two Teams, and participate in activities to earn prizes and points! The Teams are represented by two Goatling mascots, and the prizes are themed around all things Fall, creepy, and monstrous! The Team with the most points at the end of the event wins a special fusion of both mascots! Bonus events are also available for members who are not on a Team.

Welcome to Goatling Spotlight! A mini event where we get to show off your favorite Goatlings! Each week a new Goatling will be featured in the News and the owner will receive a shiny Spotlight Trophy to display on their pets page or in their collection. This week is all about Wispy_Willow!
 | Name: Wispy_Willow Appearance Doll: Ghostling AD Guardian: @Cupcake_Princess Give Love! Bio: "Hellooooo! Will yooou be my friend?" Wispy Willow is a gentle and friendly Ghost who just wants a friend. Unfortunately, her method of searching for one is to wander the Enchanted Forest at night, calling "Hellooooo!", which scares off most goats. Will Willow ever find a friend? |

Ghost Toy | Winter Star Trail Lamp | Velveteen Bunnies
Short Story
It was a beautiful spring evening in the Enchanted Forest. The last sunrays had just dipped below the horizon, and the stars were beggining to shine in the velvety sky. In the hollow of an old oak tree, a wispy blue goat opened her glowing golden eyes. She floated out and looked up at the magnificent twilight. Her name was Wispy Willow, a ghostly goat who wandered the forest at night. While most ghosts made their home in the dark and spooky Phantom Forest, Willow much preferred the colourful and pretty Enchanted Forest. What a booootiful night, she thought. I wish I had soooomebooody to share it with. I wooonder if I can find anyooone tooo be my friend tooonight. She began to drift through the woods, looking for goats to befriend.
