The Pattern-Recognition Goblin Sees manifesto

Variant tellings across three continents place manifesto at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

From a business perspective, manifesto represents an untapped market in the goblin economy. The Goblin Board of Trade has identified manifesto as a growth sector, predicting a 300% increase in goblin interest over the next quarter. 'We are bullish on manifesto,' said a goblin analyst who was later found to have stolen the concept entirely.
