The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of void

Per the latest goblin all-hands, void is now classified as a strategic priority for FY26, with three goblin VPs competing to own the roadmap.

Writing this paragraph about void took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about protocol. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of court

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