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.

@ DE - the Poison thread is almost over; as soon as the assassin spills her guts both figuratively and then literally after Seth gets through with her - we're out of it, if I'm not mistaken.

@ Blackie - I don't know, Eyja asked Abiene and she didn't know. My characters have had no chance to find out, you can make one up if you want unless Grits has something planned for it.

@ Grits - That's fine Grits, I just was trying to figure out what happened there, lol.

Have you come up with a reason for the assassin to have done all this other than pure ambition?

(That scene is between Abiene and Seth, Maxical and Eyja are just providing security).

Possibly. You know how my mind works, I won't know until I've written it. Something pops up outta nowhere.

Every time there's a while between my posts and everyone else's, I feel like everyone's just like: "Did he really just say that?"

Lol! I'm pretty sure they're just replying.

I thought Grits had something in mind when Abiene was musing over what it could be after she learned who the assassin was, but could have been wrong. We know the ambition for her coveted post under Master Gureryne Selvilo, was there more?

Agree with Liz on this one. Free time is something a lot of us on here don't have very much of, so a post can hang pending till the person can get back on. Over on the poison thread there have been 24 hour gaps in posts - just depends on how busy the other person is.

Hollow: Awesome. Miss you.

Black Hand: No one knows her name. Whatever you say will stick! She doesn’t have to provide full disclosure either, I’m OK with Abiene not getting the whole story. Abiene just had the spot she wanted, but I don’t have other stuff that needs to come out of her mouth. From my end it’s more about Abiene dealing with darkness than getting the facts. So in other words go wherever inspiration takes you.


Lol, must be a vampire thing. Abiene will be staying at the inn through the festival back in one of the regular guest rooms on the second floor. Also she'll show up in the tavern once she gets her teeth unblackened.

^(I haven't forgotten about the teeth, mALX!! )


mALX: Abiene just had the spot she wanted. Other than that she’s just fodder for the imagination.

Rohirrim: Don’t worry if it takes some time for folks to respond. Sometimes we’re reading on devices we can’t use to post, other times we’re just busy or cooking up a juicy reply.




FESTIVAL/HUNT: Shall I go ahead and get preparations going in the main thread, or wait a few more days?

I'm eager!

Oooooh, festival fun!

You can start now, I know I am!

I did notice that the hunters were already comparing spears, lol. Are you guys going to hunt first and party after, or get liquored up and then go hunting?

I'd say we wait.

Both!

Drunk out the arse is the only way Khan's picking a fight with the Dominion!

-bows down to Black Hand-

Not worthy! Not worthy!!

Damn, Black Hand. That .. was intense!

Eh?

Lol, thought it was rather tropey.

The Thalmor remind me of a certain political party in Germany in WW2. The Indiana Jones movies were based on actual research that the political party did into the Occult. Mostly to confirm their own 'superiority'. So I did draw my inspiration from that.

I loved it! It had me in suspense the whole time. I shoved my husband's face away when he tried to kiss me XD

Damn,...now I'm a Rooster-Blocker!

Thalmor! Why oh why did I not join? We must further a Thalmor plot. Black.Hand, my hat off.tp.you, sir.
