Meet Goat!

So what is Goat? Is a question I keep getting asked. While a Goat system is short for "sacrificial goat" which is actually a play on the term, "sacrificial lamb." It's basically an extra system I keep for basically everything that isn't gaming. Goat will be updated to the latest OFW to see if anything breaks, Goat is used for all CFW testing that are sent me, Goat is used to test out every new entrypoint, etc. Goat is basically there to test and die if need be, so long as it keeps my main 3DS safe.
How did I come up with the term "Goat system?" It's actually something I didn't create, but it is some tongue-in-cheek mockery of my believes. First, it's actually a term a found lingering in few programming groups I am part of, although it was only used by a few people and wasn't wide spread. But I also started using it because I thought it was a funny nudge at my Left Hand Path believes. Being the stereotype that Satanists/Luciferians preform "Goat sacrifices." So I thought the idea of a nerdy Luciferian like myself having a video game system as a means of a "goat sacrifice" would actually be pretty funny. So after seeing the name tossed around once or twice, I quickly latched onto it and started using it here and there. Although recently with the banwave happening, I just had to introduce the term to the Temp. Mostly because saying, "Old3DS isn't banned," is just boring, but "Goat isn't banned," adds a lot more character to the report.

To those interested, Goat is always running the latest OFW and is running B9S with a private CFW installed on the CTRNAND. Besides being setup for the Nintendo Ban, it's also being used to test out the latest builds (both public and beta) of ReiNAND (currently.) Every CFW sent to me for testing purposes are tested on Goat before being tested on my main New3DS.
Closest I could get to a Goat theme

Hah nice! Now I know what a Goat is.
I also have a Goat. I never used that term, but the purpose is exactly the same :D

Black o3ds, it was used as a guinea pig (or a goat) many times before.
 
Curious as to if there's a purpose behind the private cfw being fed to Goat (aside from Stability). Is it a private beta for something trying to solve the banwave?
 
@TotalInsanity4
The private CFW was actually once a public CFW that turned private due to community actions. So the dev brought back into private development and he's been basically making it for a small group of people.
The "private" builds of ReiNAND aren't actually private, they are actually just the beta versions before they hit the site.
If there is a cfw in the works to solve the banwave, it hasn't me yet.
