The Wobbly Goblet Discussion Thread, Out Of Character Stuff Goes Here Options

[Black Hand]

Seems to be a fairly common occurrence in here...

No worries, I'm sure she'll find her way through it.

[minque]

And I wanted so badly to RP.... But must realise life doesn't allow that fun just now...

[Grits]

I’m sorry that happened, DE. Maybe she’ll come back and respond.

Eventually I’ll do a spring NPC post, but of course you who are playing can keep your places as long as you like. minque and DE, I think you two are the only ones with active characters here? As always you’re welcome to take your time with posting even if others come in to use the thread. The whole point is to include players, not exclude them.

A general note, the RP thread offers a lot of freedom and expects that folks will act responsibly. Maybe with an older, more respected member serving as host we could return to the level of activity we enjoyed before last fall. (The first 41 pages were posted in three months! That kind of enthusiasm far exceeded my hopes in starting this.) Black Hand and minque, would either or both of you consider starting a community RP thread? Just open one and I’ll ask that this one be closed.

[Darkness Eternal]

You mean start new RP unrelated to the Goblet?

[Grits]

Whatever would foster roleplaying at Chorrol. Perhaps the friendly tavern idea has run its course. In that case why not build something completely different for a fresh start? Anyone could do that right now, there’s no limit on open threads. Maybe folks would use a PvP arena to warm up for ESO or something. Or as Keerava says of the Ragged Flagon, a place “Where all the lowlifes in Riften get drunk and knife each other.” Heck, someone could recreate the Ragged Flagon for ease of use and give it a try. We’re not short of ideas.

[Black Hand]

Thank you, no.

I suspect the problem is not the ideas, but the number of people who have the time.

Either there isn't sufficient interest to start a new roleplay thread, which is what I think happened with Rohirrim's last attempt at starting a roleplay, or people drop out during the curse of the thread and it just collapses, which is what happened to Steam and Steel and Lunacy of the Guilloux Mansion, the latter of which had a particularly promising concept to it. I think I was as annoyed as Liz that it didn't get to play out.

I´m sorry to see many of your fine ideas come to such an abrupt end, guys I may not have participated but I still think it´s sad. But maybe people just need some time away so they can come back fresh and new?

Well... We did give it another chance and nobody bit.

[Darkness Eternal]

I'll post tonight. Confirm the permanent death of Liz's character.

[Callidus Thorn]

DE: I've spoken to Liz, she'd rather you not post anything about it.

Odd, she didn't say anything to me. I might as well delete that post I made with so much effort.

[Grits]

DE, it would be a shame to waste what you’ve written. Would Lycus even know it was Ushak? What if you went ahead with your post for Lycus and didn’t specify the name, that way if Elisabeth wants to go back and change something in her post she still can? It’s up to you, of course. I’m not in the PM/email loop, so the only news I have it what’s posted in the open here.

[Black Hand]

I have her on messenger as we speak, her wishes are to leave her character alone.

Callidus is correct.

I think the polite thing to do, would be to respect her wishes.

[King Of Beasts]

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with her post or character without her consent, you don't wanna upset her.


Also, Liz isn't signing back on because that defeats he purpose of her leaving. She may come back in her own time, but that's entirely up to her.

[Grits]

Oh gosh, Kobby, no one is messing with Elisabeth’s post. We’re talking about what to do now that it sounds like she changed her mind.

This is the post we’re talking about:

Ushak left and got eaten by Lycus.

We don’t control each other’s characters without permission here, so no one eats Elisabeth’s character unless she agrees just like no one has another person’s character eat theirs without arranging it first. That certainly wouldn’t be polite. Regardless of what happened before, if anyone wants to play they can simply move on. I don’t see a need to upset Elisabeth with anything.

[King Of Beasts]

Oh, then I apologize for the misunderstanding

She just wants to avoid singing on like I said. Just because it defeats the purpose of her leaving.

[King Coin]

This is so stupid.

[Grits]

No worries! I hope everything works out and we hear from her soon.


In the meantime if Lycus wolfs out and eats an NPC I hope we can avoid jumping to the conclusion that it must be Ushak, lol. Treating his victim (or examining the remains) would send Abiene on a major guilt trip!

[King Coin]

DE: I've spoken to Liz, she'd rather you not post anything about it.

Uh, Why? She already posted her death at the hands of Lycus. DE's turn.

Actually I suggested he ask for a moderator to edit the post for him, as it inappropriately used his character, but he decided to roll with it.
