- When you first enter the Steading, you are expected to greet each
Master and Mistress. you will use Their Title or simply Master/Mistress.
For example, "Greetings Master, Greetings Mistress... etc."
you will NOT use Their name as in "Greetings Master Panthos"
The Master's/Mistress's name is not for slave use.
Goreans are extremely sensitive about names, and who may speak them.
Similarly, slaves on the whole, do not address free men by their names.-
ASSASSINS OF GOR, Pg. 12
Slave girls on Gor address all free men as Master, all free women
as Mistress. - HUNTERS OF GOR, Pg. 65
Once a slave has greeted, they may move directly to the serving furs
and offer to serve. The only exception to this are slaves who are
new to Gor and in training. We will work with you until such time
as you are cleared by The Jarl and able to serve.
- When a non-member enters the home, there is always the possibility
that they are an unwelcome or even dangerous intrusion. For that reason,
if a free is present, bondmaids and thralls should wait for the command
to greet and serve. Do not ask to greet, as a slave's presence
should be non-intrusive during the initial conversation with a visitor
until their identity and business has been established. When the free
gives the command, then slaves may greet. The ranking free man, or
in their absence the ranking free woman, in the room should specify
a slave to offer service. Too often I have seen slaves make the assumption
that someone else will get it, or conversely three ask at once which
seems clumsy. If only slaves are present in the room then they will
have to greet and offer service without direction. However, if a fighting
thrall is present, then they should greet first to establish if any
threat is present.
- Those who enter as Visitor ~o~ are not to be greeted or offered
food or drink until they bear a name. a slave, if alone, may politely
post something to the effect of... * thinking that if You would take
a name, i could greet You properly and offer the hospitality of the
Steading * Otherwise, let the Frees deal with this unnamed person.
- If ANY Stranger threatens or harasses the slaves in any way and
a Master/Mistress/Moderator is not around the Stranger will be politely
told of the rules. If the Stranger still doesn't listen, they will
be put on ignore and a slave will get a site Moderator.
- PMing without permission is not allowed of Guests, Strangers,
or Visitors. Any unauthorized or harassing PMs should be immediately
posted in public. (make sure that a slave knows how to cut and paste)
- We do not allow "visiting slaves" here. Slaves did
NOT go visiting all over Gor. I'm talking about collared slaves. Collared
slaves can visit WITH their Master/Mistress or a Free of their home.
If one comes in alone, and no Free of The Inlet is present, then find
out what their message or errand is, thank them and inform them they
know how to return home. Conversely, NO Inlet bond-maid or thrall,
whether Steading owned or personally owned, goes "visiting"
other homes alone. If we catch you, you are going to be facing your
Master, the Jarl and the Jarl's Woman.
