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.

If I got invited, I would've known!

That's right, you weren't online.

Well, we've all got on Skype, and if you wanna join, give me your skype name and I'll add you.

Ok
1. She didn't READ the minds like a book, just sensed them out of curiosity (bad enough!!)

2. Correct

3. Also correct, telepaths can read minds, BUT in different ways!

4. NOPE Serene is NOT evil, NOT evil

Also we agreed on that the bad "reading" should come from someone else...

I do have skype but since it's 1,30 am here I can't start talking ..would wake up the whol;e house

We use the text part of it. I have to use my phone sicne it makes my computer run slow.

Mmm ok so there's a text thingy? gah just use it to talk to my daughter when she was in US....

*runs off to investigate*

Yeah, where you type in the stuff, lol

At least in the main Wobbly Goblet playground thread, I don't think there will be any more mention of this mind reader other than the fact that something happened.

The main thread is supposed to be a sort of a safe zone where there won't be any danger to anyone's character.

EDIT: At least that's what I understood when Grits and I discussed this.

Yes. Abiene had her conversation with Vera to finish up the telepath business in the main thread. It's my understanding that going forward all of the telepath stuff will occur in a new thread.

Yes that is my opinion too....So Serene will just be a nice mage, emotional and able to "see" how people feel....nothing else

Now in the evil thread....who knows?


EDIT: Need to go to bed now! See yall in about 10-12 hours (need to go away a couple of hours tomorrow..ehh today)

minque, I believe we're talking about the telepath that Mustard is creating for the "evil" plot. If you want Serene to read minds, you just have to clear it with the other player first. Same as anything else that your character does to another character. Like if a vampire feeds on someone, pockets get picked, secrets are revealed through some manner, minds are read, starting a fight, all of these things are agreed to here.

added for clarity: of course you guys make the rules in the side threads. Mwa ha ha, etc.

For those who care:(quotes from my story, showing just how bad her mind reading is)

I've replied in the Everything Thread, hopefully we can keep this one for RP discussion.

Er, Grits, just FYI, it was Serene who came over and asked the question, not Irvana. I don't think Irvana is in that conversation. *Hastily rechecks thread* Nah, she's in the middle of sexytimes/blood-drinking times with Draken at the mo

Ugh, sorry! I'll change it. Too much to keep track of, dammit!


added: might take me a minute to find if D has been introduced to Serene. I'm digging through both threads to find it.

Never mind, there's too much extra stuff here for me to try finding it. Guys, please consider how you're using this thread. We're having great fun with the off-topic character chat, but there must be a better place for it.

I ended up asking minque about Aravi.

This post has been edited by King Coin: Sep 8 2013, 02:54 PM

OK, great. I was hoping we wouldn't get stalled on the introductions, lol.

I'm out of time for now, but I'll be back in a few hours. It would be great of we could cover some ground with the trip planning.


Added: Also it occurs to me that when we start the Lost Knife trip we might just call it whatever without the WG preface since it’s completely separate from the main thread? That way people who come by will have a better chance of figuring out what the hell is going on here and possibly might be tempted to join. Though I guess then we’d need our own discussion thread.

Now I really am going. For real.

Despite several gentle hints and pleas from the gracious hosts of this thread, some posters seem to lack the discipline to remain on topic. This forum allows much freedom due to its intimate size; however, with that freedom comes the responsibility of self-discipline. We have a thread for chatterspam, and this is not it. The first post of this thread clearly spells out its rules, and the first rule listed includes the words 'no spamming'.

Allowing yourself to be drawn off topic when you post makes important information in the relevant posts much easier to overlook and contributes to the confusion and misunderstandings that have happened in this RP more than once. An RP discussion thread with off topic posts also serves to confuse, intimidate and deter prospective new folks that might be interested in joining the WG fun. With so many players and so much going on, there is simply not room here to indulge in off topic spam that hijacks the purpose of this thread.

I’ve applied a rather heavy spamhammer and deleted over sixty off topic posts from the last couple days. It is oft said that this forum monitors and polices itself, requiring little moderation. I expect the posters here to demonstrate the truth therein.

So anyways who exactly is going to be involved in the Lost Knife quest? Just Darnand, Vera, and Kayla and Aravi, right?

Mustard's bard might be coming along, but I think that's it.
