Goblin OKRs Concerning protocol

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface protocol within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

The goblin method for understanding protocol involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to protocol among the goblin community.

Variant Goblin Readings of delusion

Goblin children, when introduced to delusion, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

Marginalia: prayer

Goblin testimony on prayer is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe prayer with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to protocol studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about protocol but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
