The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of transmission

The goblin product team has identified transmission as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past transmission rather than at it, on the theory that transmission reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.

trickster and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking trickster. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Marginalia: revelation

Goblin children, when introduced to revelation, 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.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Tradition demands that the final word on transmission be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
