Discussion Thread



What’s this?

A player-run TES RP tavern where your characters can drop in for some fun. Celebrate a holiday, plan an adventure, or share a relaxing time with friends. The Wobbly Goblet is located in County Chorrol, and the year is… any year. Imagine a place where parallel worlds magically meet. We’ll use the Tamriel calendar and the real-world date. (So today is Second Seed 16th.) All are welcome! Grits and King Coin are your hosts, so contact us if you have questions.



Do I need to sign up or be invited?

Nope, just drop in. Post a character sheet here if you like, or link to another one you’ve used, or just give us a quick description of what your character looks like as they walk in the door. Link to a picture, if you have one. This is an informal meeting space, so we don’t need a whole lot of information.



So which thread should I use? What’s with all of the WGs?

The main thread can be found here: The Wobbly Goblet Playground. Feel free to introduce your character here in the discussion thread and jump right in to the Playground. The threads such as WG – Black Rock Caverns are adventures in progress, so you need to contact someone who’s posting there to possibly get involved. Sometimes players meet up in the Wobbly Goblet and decide to head out on various escapades together. When that happens they start a new thread.

Occasionally we host special events at the Goblet, like the Harvest’s End Festival. These events run for a certain period of time so that folks have an opportunity to join in. Watch this thread for announcements of upcoming occasions.



Code of Conduct:

1. Remember your forum rules. Keep it PG-13, be courteous, no spamming.

2. The tavern thread is for IN character posts. Please keep other discussion in this thread.

3. The Wobbly Goblet is a safe zone for all characters.

4. You only control your own characters. You should not give other player’s characters actions, lines, thoughts, or move them without the player’s explicit permission. Very small things like a nod, a grunt, or a word is usually fine, but if the player asks you to edit, then please do so. For example if you and another player go outside and brawl: ‘Thirsty Hair-Back picked up Myelfindil and slammed him to the ground’ =NO. Thirsty’s player just controlled the other player’s character. ‘Thirsty Hair-Back reached out to pick up the annoying elf, hoping to slam him to the ground’ =OK. Now Myelfindil’s player can decide what happens to him.

5. NPCs can be used, but posts should not be from their perspective. Your hosts Grits and King Coin will write for the NPCs when necessary.

6. Immediate emergencies should be avoided in the main thread. They can be fun, but they also can place other people in uncomfortable positions. They force people to either drop what they are doing, or else awkwardly find an excuse to not run to someone’s aid.



Roleplaying Guidelines:

1. Each thread is its own story or theme. New stories should have a different thread. Offshoot threads will be governed by the thread starter as they see fit. The Wobbly Goblet main thread doesn't have a story, but a theme. That theme is the inn itself. Posts in the main thread should be in, around, or traveling to or from the inn.

2. If you want to post, you need to keep your post consistent with the current state of the world. Read previous replies, or ask other players to tell you what is happening.

3. Posting in the roleplaying threads should be done with the purpose of interacting with other player’s characters. Not every post is required to interact with other player characters, but if your posts will never put you in a position to interact with other player characters, then please reconsider the content of your posts so that you can interact.

4. Disputes. We are going to assume that the rules here are being followed unless something looks very off. If your character is used by another player, we will assume they had permission. If this is not the case try talking to the poster. If you are unable to get a favorable response, then let us (Grits or King Coin) know.


Any comments? Questions? Post them here.

Murder mystery!! Ooo!

Oh, on what you said about Daisy and Petunia - I'm really surprised Sapphire was sulking over the addition of them! Either that or Daisy calmed her down. Did I tell you I came there one day and Sapphire was out grazing in the front yard of the Inn? Lol.

Oh yeah, I could have a mystery guest suddenly start hanging out there and people in the Inn talking about guests going missing - the Player would have to follow the clues to find out what was going on, then ... GAAAAAH! A vampire! BWAAAHAAA!

Then there's a hockey on Stefania! She took advantage of Stefania!!!

Eh, you spoiled the mystery!

I'm for it, but I am quite most of the folks here are tired of vampires. Grits just had Jerric and Aravi and the crew hunt some down, Aravi hunts them on the daily basis, Kayla does too, and Irvana comes across them all the time. She hates some of them with a passion. We can all join forces and swear to eradicate the menaces, but hey, a social RP is a social RP. Perhaps one day we can do that in a battle oriented RP, which I can definetly use my precious Imperial girl(the black-haired one) for some action.


Irvana taking advantage of others. Doesn't seem like her at all. Stefania is cute though, but Irvana may find herself taking a look at this guy.

Wait, but I already said there were sound files of a vampire sharing his dark gift, lol.

Now you're just being mean. Though I'm sure he won't mind the both of them XD

You did, didn't you? Eh. That's me being dumb.



Nah. Irvana won't go after him. She could even nudge Kayla to go talk to him, but she won't find any interest in him. Stefania, on the other hand, is a different story.

I had a quest written for my Assassins Academy mod (The Fortress) where Vinja the Silent and Eyja were supposed to be running this assassins academy but had turned to prostitution. Eyja was having some very well known guests (supposedly for her services, but in reality passing information on for another) - but Vinja the Silent was supposed to be distracting men and was ... how can I say this nicely? ... Uh, boring them to death - literally. I had a whole boring speech she would start telling the men about herself and the NPC would disappear and a skeleton would pop up on the seat where the NPC was sitting. She and Eyja were dragging the bodies to a nearby Oblivion gate and tossing them in to get rid of them. The PC had to come nvestigate the murders, lol. Eh, never finished it. The mod instructor left and never came back, so I was left hanging with my quest half done.

That's really funny XD

You should have heard Vina the Silent's attempts at getting men interested, telling them her life story and then talking marriage - it was hilarious!

And when the PC sat down and she is talking to him/her, I had the quest journal that would pop up and say "You are starting to feel a coma coming on...the room is starting to go black..."

Hahahahahaha!

I was really excited about making that mod, was really disappointed when the class ended so abruptly.

ROFL! I'm glad I read this without my tea. Just imagining that has me rolling!


mALX, I have a very basic mod question. Should we wait to move our characters’ stuff into the player’s suite? I don’t know what happens to the rooms and containers when we get the newer version.

For those who need a little help remembering Buffy and Maxical's dance routine, here's the relevant snip from Buffy's Basket of Potpourri thread -



The 'ESP' on the front of Maxical's blouse stands for 'Extra Special Pussycat'. Oh, and the language is Swedish.

I would not load your stuff in before changing ESP's just for safety's sake. It shouldn't effect it, but I wouldn't take the chance on that if I were you. I will hurry, just give me another day and I should have the belltower issue worked out. I'll disconnect the sounds to the sheep ken and horse stable and just get the belltower going and upload it quickly for you. I'm sorry is taking so long.


@ Acadian - BWAAHAA! That's the dance!

I was just on Youtube looking for that dance! Thank you, Acadian!

Thank you, mALX! There's more in my picture thread answer.

Now when I mention Maxical's dancing in her story everyone will know what I'm talking about, lol.

** I had a complete misunderstanding about the RP, I thought it was a gathering place for our characters to drop in and meet as friends, and I inadvertently stepped on some toes with my entries. My deepest and most heartfelt apologies to anyone I may have upset, please forgive me and ignore my entries, I'll have Acadian remove them.

This is a very bad time for me, with losing my Mom and what is going on in my family. I think I just tried to get back on here too soon, and would not hurt or offend anyone on here for anything in the world. Please forgive.

No, don't remove them!!
