The table was a large one, but the [march hare, the hatter, and the dormouse] were all crowded together at one corner of it: ‘No room! No room!’ they cried out when they saw Alice coming. ‘There’s plenty of room!’ said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.

It's tea time! Have a cup of tea! Oh... did I forget to mention there is no tea?
In any case, there is something in every cup on the table. The saucers are stuck on top of the cups though. No-one knows what's inside each cup. When the tea party ends we'll all be able to lift the saucers and see what is inside the cups. I imagine each item has some resemblance to the tea cup it sits in, but I could be wrong.
You will need to claim a tea cup to party here. You can either take a cup from the table or you can take a cup from someone else. You can only possess one cup at a time, so unless someone steals that cup from you, you won't need to claim additional cups. If you see a cup you would like to claim, follow the instructions above the cup. If you would like to steal a cup, follow the instructions above the cup; after successfully claiming the cup, quote the user so they know their cup has been stolen.
The cups are fragile! Each participant can only steal the same cup three times each day. Any more than that and you risk damaging the cup and its contents. There is no limit on stealing different cups. Remember, you have to have your cup stolen before you can claim another. Juggling with multiple cups is another sure way to damage them!
Keep an eye out for the Dark Cheshire Cat... He likes to appear out of nowhere and steal a cup or two. Rules don't really mean much to him.

Cups requiring underhand methods. You must have stolen at least two different cups before you can pursue these cups. Generate a number between 1 and 4. Generating a 3 or 4 means you successfully retrieved the cup. Unlimited attempts. 10. Falcona Stark ; 11. JoyRose ; 12. Talitha Macer
Cups requiring further deception. You must have stolen at least three different cups before you can pursue these cups. Generate a number between 1 and 6. Generating a 4, 5, or 6 means you successfully retrieved the cup. Limit of 6 attempts each day; try for a cup somewhere else if you don't succeed. 13. Ishnia ; 14. Beccan34
The cup worth knocking everything (and everyone) over for. You must have stolen at least four different cups before you can pursue this cup. Generate a number between 1 and 8. Generating a 6, 7, or 8 means you successfully retrieved the cup. Limit of 6 attempts each day; try for a cup somewhere else if you don't succeed. 15. AngelMuerto

Simplified Instructions and FAQs
Claim a cup to start playing.
Each cup has a task to complete before it can be claimed. Follow the instructions above the cup.
If stealing a cup from someone, successfully completing the task associated with the cup means you successfully stole the cup. Quote the last owner to let them know their cup has been stolen.
You can only have one cup in your possession at a time. At some point your cup will be stolen, leaving you free to claim a new cup.
You can only re-claim the same cup a maximum of three times each day if other participants steal the cup from you. There is no limit on claiming different cups.
Do not delete your posts. If you make an error in the post action simply make a new post with the corrected post action.
Remember to follow NSTG Guild Rules as well as GaiaOnline Rules and Guidelines.
Can I steal from Dark Cheshire Cat? Yes!
Do the increasing numbers for the cups relate to the value of the item within? Yes!
How do I know if I have to steal a cup? The tea cup list shows if each cup was claimed by someone before Gaia's reset (12:00 AM PT). A post will be made in the thread to indicate the updates were made. If there is a name by the cup, you will have to steal the cup. If there is no name, you can claim the cup without stealing. Be sure to check recent pages to see if any changes in ownership have been made.
What if I can't find the last owner of a cup or forget to quote them? Dark Cheshire Cat will quote the owner with a mad laugh before Gaia's reset. They are sure to notice that!
What if I don't have a cup at the end of the last day of the event? Participants with no cup in their possession after the last day of the event (due to cups being stolen) will have the chance to choose from the remaining cups. Everyone gets a cup in the end!
When does the 'day' end? 12:00 AM Pacific Time (same as Gaia's daily reset).
What happens if two (or more) users pursue the same cup at the same time? The user who finishes their rolls last claims the cup. Here's how that works out: User A starts rolling in attempt to claim the cup. They aren't successful on the first roll. User B starts rolling in attempt to claim the same cup. They aren't successful on the first roll. User A rolls again in attempt to claim the cup. They are successful. The cup now belongs to User A. User B rolls in attempt to claim the cup. They are successful and have stolen the cup. The cup now belongs to User B.
What if no-one steals my cup and I want to keep playing? Everyone's cup should get stolen at some point. If your cup doesn't get stolen by another user, it becomes a very tempting target for Dark Cheshire Cat.
There are a limited number of cups. Does that mean there is a limit on the number of participants and prizes? No. If the number of participants exceeds the current number of cups, more cups will be added.
