Rag seems cool, but I have a proposal for everyone:
I have no interest in letting the goblin formula run free, but I also understand the issue that town would have with me trying to horde it for myself. So, I propose having someone publicly hold both the lab equipment and the goblin formula items to either keep them separate or just have them experiment themselves to take it out of the game, and then just murdering them if they do become the green gobbo (thems the breaks kid). I realize that there are any number of holes in this plan but I plan on driving town to a victory come hell or high water, so it's worth the risk in my eyes.
I'm going to assume that the current holder of the formula doesn't want to let themselves be known, so working towards my motivation would be the next best option here, but we'll cross that bridge once the stock market opens. Heck, theoretically I could use my hostile takeover ability to figure out where the gobbo formula is today.
Assuming people don't decide to try and murder me in cold blood (GOOD LUCK FRIENDOS)
