Rules and Guidelines

It is the responsibility of every slave to know and understand the rules of the Lost Worlds section, and, most importantly, follow them. Make sure that you have read over the Lost World slave rules, as they are covering the entire section of Lost Worlds.

In Lost Worlds, there is no forced slavery. When a slave joins Rome, he or she will become the property of Rome and will not be sold until they are properly trained. Upon their joining, they will obtain a training tag, and it will stay on until they have shown enough knowledge to advance in collars.

If a slave does not have a Master/Mistress and needs assistance or has questions, they should seek out the Members of the Council.  If problems should arise, please speak with the Leaders. If a decision or act made seems unfair, please copy and script it so it can be reviewed by others.

Slaves do have lives outside of serving Rome, so make sure to come up with a background story and plotline for your character, and build upon it. Slaves may speak in first person in Rome, this is not the fictional planet of Gor.

General Guidelines stated for all the rooms of Lost Worlds.

1. All slaves that reside within Lost Worlds will be recognized by the lower case letter at the front of their name and a collar (any kind of brackets following their name) following their name. All slaves will begin their name with a lower case letter.

2. All slaves will hold the deepest of respect for the Frees that surround them.

3. Please keep arguments or words of disagreement in PM for it disrupts the role-play in the room. Remember though, slaves are to respect the words of the Frees around them. If something needs to be discussed please state that you are stepping into OOC (Out of Character) and proceed to speak with the proper person/people.

4. Please put as much of your full attention into the room as possible when you are playing. Shutting down other screens and leaving ICQ is highly appreciated.

5. The safety and comfort level of the rooms are taken very seriously. If you receive any threatening messages in public or in PM please copy and post them out in the open immediately. If no Frees are present, copy the posts and then leave as quickly as possibly, sending the copied post to a Free when returning or through e-mail. If you remain in the room and the person does not stop, search for a Mod and then leave. Harassment will not be tolerated and it will be dealt with swiftly and effectively.

6. When entering the room, please put your history back to at least 20. This will save you from the embarrassment of kneeling before a Free that is out in the gardens and it will also give you the general sense of what is going on the role-play.

7. When entering the room, a slave is expected to greet in a specific order:
1. Room Leader/s
2. Male Frees of the room
3. Females Frees of the room
4. Visiting Male Frees
5. Visiting Female Frees
6. Servants
7. Slaves

8. It is expected and is appreciated that when you are serving that you place all of your undivided attention to the Free you are serving. Please do not greet or speak to any others in the room. It also enables you to show your skill and talent without distractions.

9. Chores are always an important part of a room. Chores are a chance for slaves to role-play in a less serious way and to perhaps keep themselves busy during a quieter time in the room. Each room will have different expectations for chores but non-the-less, it is appreciated when they are done. Please see the website for the proper room role-playing in for more specific information.

10.  Copying and pasting chores or serves into the room is not allowed. The only time a slave will be able to do so is when they have a dance prepared or are cooking a meal for a test, celebration, etc.

11.  In some rooms, the Room Leader(s) may wish the slaves to learn how to defend themselves and their Home if a raid occurs. Please take a moment to read over the Raid Policy. Please see the website for the proper room role-playing in for more specific information, as different homes have different places to go to for safety during a raid.

12.  Slaves are allowed to welcome and greet observes (obs’s) and to ask them politely to take a proper name. Remember that people that are non-members are allowed to interact somewhat in the role-play but in nothing major. When potential members come into the room greet them, tell them about the room, offer the website addy, answer any questions they may have to the best of your ability and explain to them that they can only become involved in minor role-plays.

13.  Slaves are only allowed to serve food and drink to visiting Frees. Nothing sexual is allowed and that includes heated serves.

14.  A slaves Owner has the right to restrict them to only Their touch.

15.  If two or more Free wish for the same slave there can be a few resolutions. Firstly, the slave will be consulted on which Free they wish for an Owner or if the slave cannot choose, it will be decided on some other way devised by the Room Leader(s). This result is final.

16.  No other Frees may challenge the Room Leader(s) for a slave unless it is in the best interest of the slave.

17.  No slaves will be taken into a personal collar when they are in the leather collar. The only exception to this is if it is planned by the Free and slave before they technically enter the Room and become a member. Personal collars are earned, not simply given.

18.  If a situation arises, that a Free wishes a slave from another room to take His/Her collar, they must speak with the Room Leader(s) and gain permission through Them. The slave must also be willing and understanding to the fact that s/he will have to leave their original Home. All collaring and deals of this sort MUST go through the Room Leader(s).

19.  If a problem arises between a Free and His/Her slave and they do not wish or think it will be best for the slave to wear the personal collar, then it will be discussed with the Room Leader(s). Two results will come from this. One is that the slave will remain in the personal collar for a specific amount of time to see if things improve or the slave will be released. This can happen sometimes when Frees and slaves have different r/t schedules or time zones, etc.

20.  Slaves have the right to resist giving Frees any personal or r/t information. Just because a slave is personally owned, it must be remember that it is only in v/t. If a Free continues to badger a slave to give information that s/he does nit wish to, speak with the Room Leader(s) and it will dealt with quickly.

Rules for the slaves of Rome

1. You are to be in the room whenever you can be - and you are expected to roleplay. If you have characters in other realms, it is your responsibility to make an effort to be in our room as much as possible. You took the tags of Rome, and in doing this you made a commitment to be in Rome as much as r/t allows.

2. Slaves DO have a voice in the daily operation of Rome, but they may not act aggressive at any time in voicing opinions. They will use their voice respectfully.

3. Slaves have few rights or belongings. They own nothing unless it is given to them - as long as they are in a personal collar, the item given to them is owned by the Master/Mistress just as the slave is. If the Master/Mistress allows it, the article belongs to the slave.

4. Slaves may handle coins, blades and weapons, but take care to do so in such a way that does suggest you have an improper motive.

5. Check the message board often.

6. The Leaders' word is final and law. Any rule may be changed, altered or revised at the Leaders' discretion. Any issue may be brought up for discussion.
