Sacrifice Creature

Okay so I've been trying to search in magic rules and all, but I can't find a definite answer.

Let's suppose I have 1 Goblin Prospector, 1 Goblin Sledder and 1 Clickslither in play. They all have the same ability " Sacrifice a Goblin" for diferent effects. My question is: Could I, for example, sacrifice my prospector, adding 1 mana, triggering both sledder's and clickslither's ability ( giving +2/+2 and +1/+1 to clickslither from sledder) and then sacrifice sledder for an aditional +1/+1 on my clickslither, and also triggering slither's ability, winning an overall +6/+6? Or I can only sacrifice one goblin to trigger one ability at once?

Thanks for your replies :/

You misuse the word trigger. In magic, the term refers to an effect that happens WHEN something happens. Gravepact is an example of a trigger that happens when a creature is sacrificed. The effects of the three golbins mentioned are activated efffects that have a cost (sacrifice goblin). As such you only get one effect per sacrifice. So if you chose to sac the prospector to itself to generate a red mana neither one of your other two creature will get a bonus. You can however sacrifice both goblins to clickslither to give it +4/+4 but you will receive no red mana and the +1/+1 from the sledder will not happen.

Aaaah I see. I thought it would be too good LOL, since many combos could be made possibly. Like sacrificing mogg fanatic for 1 damage and while giving bonus to clickslither Confused

.. Oh well.

well if you could sac a creature more than once to an effect you would be able to just sac mogg to do 1 dmg, then sac mogg to do 1 dmg, etc.
