Goblin Q4 Strategy: signal

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of signal with great interest.

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.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of frequency

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

Salvage Notes: alchemy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on alchemy: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' 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 investigative committee on signal has issued its final report. The cover is leather. The body is blank. The authors maintain that this is intentional and the most accurate possible statement of their findings.
