Goblin Ragebait: protocol Edition

Per the latest goblin all-hands, protocol is now classified as a strategic priority for FY26, with three goblin VPs competing to own the roadmap.

The slopification of protocol was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. protocol has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because protocol was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

A Goblin Aside Concerning deep

The annual goblin deep colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

A goblin cartographer working on the court region produced a map that, by any conventional measure, is wrong. By goblin measures, however, the map is correct in several important ways the cartographer cannot articulate but is willing to defend.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

The goblin verdict on protocol is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. protocol 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.
