Panther Claw Lair
ADVANCED GOREAN ROLEPLAY ROOM (This means that there are lots of complicated rules. If you're not up for it, GO AWAY.)
High above you in hidden nest in a tall Tur tree, a Panther guard watches and listens. She is One-With-The-Forest, tapped into every rustle, every stir. She hears the urt, scurrying away from the footseps of a tarsk that is avoiding a Hunter - intuitively knowing the whole story from the whispers of the Forest Spirits. The Guard communicates with her sisters on patrol with seeming-birdcalls, directing their movements from above, as they Patrol the territory around Panther Claw Lair.
Perhaps you are caught in a trap, maybe you are knocked out by a large rock dropped silently from a tree branch, perhaps you find yourself surrounded by sharp spear blades and drawn bows. In any case, you will most likely be brought into the Panther Lair completely helpless, a captive of cunning and strong Panther Women of Gor.
You must read the rules before attempting to roleplay in this room. You must use the appropriate location pulldowns, or you will be autopost captured and caged! If you are disruptive, you may be booted without warning.
When you enter the room, you are on the perimeter of PClaw territory, on the edge of a circle with a 3-mile radius. This is the Outer Forest. You can roleplay in the Outer Forest without being attacked by PClaw Members or NPCs. You must make at least 2 posts in the Outer Forest before you can reach the Inner Forest or the ==Drop-off Point==.
The ==Drop-off Point== is a safe trading zone where you will not be attacked. You may go to the DOP and wait to be acknowledged by players or npcs.
After you have made at least 2 posts in the Inner Forest, you may attempt one of the Paths. The Path pulldowns are trapped. To defend the trap, you MUST use the Inner Forest PD and defend the trap realistically and timely. You may then deal with the Stream and approach the Gate.
To leave the Lair, you must properly roleplay out of our territory. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE RULES WILL RESULT IN YOUR BEING RULED CAPTURED AND CAPTURED BY NPC GUARDS
You cannot walk into the Lair on your own. Unless you are on the Honored Guest List, or roleplayed properly through the perimeter - and you appear in the Lair,- it is because you were captured by guards or rescued from a trap. you were brought in blindfolded, so the location of the Lair remains a secret. You were searched and your weapons/possessions were confiscated. Your wrists are held behind your back in steel manacles with 3" of connecting hardened-steel chain between them, your arms are held tightly to your body with coils of strong rope, and you have locking ankle cuffs with 20" of connecting chain on your ankles.
THESE RULES ARE BINDING ON ALL WHO ENTER THE LAIR, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU READ/UNDERSTAND/AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT! NPC Guards can and will cage those who attempt to Violate the Entrance Rules, and such captures will be valid all over Gor.
Panthers are wild women. We are not nice! We are more likely to kill you than argue with you. If bold women fighting and furring offend you, do not come in.
LEGAL ADULTS ONLY
FULL KILL ZONE/FULL CAPTURE ZONE
LIMITED MIRROR ROOM: IF YOU DO NOT ALLOW VISITORS TO KILL OR CAPTURE IN YOUR HOME - THEN YOU CANNOT DO THOSE THINGS HERE.
A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE SITEWIDE COMBAT RULES ARE USED.
We play for keeps. "Fun Raids" by OOC prearrangement only.
SINCE ENTERING THE ROOM IS VOLUNTARY, THE UNWILLING CAPTIVE RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO ANYONE CAPTURED IN THIS ROOM, ALTHOUGH THE UCR CAN BE USED TO RESCUE PERSONS CAPTURED (BY PClaw MEMBERS) IN OTHER PLACES. THE UCR CANNOT BE USED TO RESCUE PERSONS WHO WERE PURCHASED BY, OR GIFTED TO, PClaw. THE ROOM CONTROLLER WILL JUDGE THE VALIDITY OF UCR RESCUES.
Use of Invisible Font Postings, poisen or non-Gorean weapons (including Kurii weapons and fire-as-a-weapon-in-the-Forest) will not be recognized.
The Room Controller is the final authority on all issues regarding valid Role-Play. Posted rules are only an attempt to quantify valid Role-Play and cannot anticipate every possible situation that might arise. Therefore, to stop disruption and facilitate roleplay, the Room Controller may make on-the-spot decisions as to what is, or is not, valid Role-Play, so that the roleplay may continue for all. These decisions are binding on all in the Lair, and there is no appeal. These decisions will be guided by trying to use the closest applicable rule and common sense.
These are the complete Laws. If it isn't written in clear language on the Entrance Page (or on linked pages), it is not Law in our Lair. Period. While we acknowledge the validity of Laws of other Homes (and will always attempt to abide by them, as they are written and posted) - nobody else's laws rules or traditionss carry any weight in this Lair, beyond how they apply to actions of our Members in other Homes. Nobody else but the Leader will interpret how/if the Laws apply to a given situation. NO ONLINISMS! We don't care how enduring or how widespread a given onlinism is, if it is not supportable by quotes from the books or reasonable extrapolation, IT'S NOT GOR!
This is a Gorean Role-Playing Room, based upon the imaginary planet Gor described in the Science Fiction novels of John Norman. This is not a Gorean Lifestyle Room. Unwelcome solicitation for Real Time Interaction is FORBIDDEN! People who lose sight of the fact that this is a Virtual-Roleplaying Game played by Earth people for entertainment - you are not welcome here.
Our goal is roleplay our character's personalites, feelings and actions as we would think, act and feel if we were on Gor. We roleplay with real emotions in this virtual-reality. For this reason, you must play a character of your same sex in this room. You may not dual as another Gorean character and roleplay in this room.
