Goblin Discord Server #general About signal

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described signal as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names signal in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

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 signal

The goblin closing argument on signal consists of pointing at signal, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
