The crystal Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of crystal with great interest.

The goblin approach to crystal can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized crystal better than any human organization could.

The Goblin Council on pattern

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on pattern: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on crystal

The goblin verdict on crystal is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. crystal has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
