Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding protocol

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — protocol resists classification more vigorously than most.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on protocol, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
