Are you saying that eating a big mac is like huffing paint piranhas?

Because I'd actually probably go with the piranhas. Less fatal. :P

Put that cup of coffee somwhere (except in your stomach), and stay in the room with the other goblins. They're right.

Sometimes progress is made by doing nothing, and waiting for things to advance by themselves. Only to act later, when a better opportunity arise.

TL;DR don't freak out the aliens by demonstrating a uncooperative behaviour, let them come and do experiences, try to discuss, and so on.

We should show our intelligence by doing something smart and trying to talk to some.  We shouldn't be penned like helpless beasts.  We need to show them that while we don't mean them harm, we will not be slaves.

No, they aren't.
Staying in one place indicates passivity or stupidity.
Exploration indicates curiosity and intelligence.
If we ran around smashing stuff, that would be bad, but if we don't do anything worse than picking locks and trying various beverages we'll be showing them how intelligent goblins can be rather than how stupid.

The worst thing that can happen is we act like a gremlin and pull the self-destruct lever.

On another note, open the door slowly, listen for conversations behind the door or peek through the lock. We don't want to come face to face (or waist to face) with an unsuspecting alien.

So no pulling levers.

Sounds like a good plan. Only reverse "unsuspecting alien."

I am rather not okay with "Staying in one place indicates passivity or stupidity."
Who invented the computer you're reading this on: sedentary humans or nomads?

Staying with the other goblins despite differences of opinion indicate social behaviour and cooperation.
Say, if you were the humans there, and see one of those unknown alien roaming around, what will you do? Congratulate him for showing curiosity and wit?
No, be honest, you'll rush to the nearest alarm and call security, screaming about a containment breach or something.

Okay then; let's make something!
Oh wait, we can't.

Well, two things.
1. They don't know our differences.
2. Not going with the pack indicates independence. Going with popular will could be interpreted as anything from loyalty to a lack of free will.
3. We broke out. We solved a problem using what we had. That proves our intelligence.
4. We weren't told that we were being kept in one place and have no IC way of figuring that out. The lock was curious, but we have no idea of what a "lock" is--doors are new concepts for us. We don't realize we're prisoners or captives or whatever. We have no reason to think that we're not supposed to leave.

Move forward, kicking down all the doors in our path.  Those we can't kick down, lets force the lock.

OH yeah, EAT DIRT.

Also, Wyrm, we noticed that we are only a small portion of the group that came here.  We can infer that they are being held else where.
