Once You post Your acknowledgement of reading and agreeing to the pages, there is no changing Your mind and no excuse later, ie, if Your slave is punished for something they did wrong, while Your not in the room, there is no reason or excuse for You to be upset with the one that did the punishing.
3). This is not a place for a bunch of drama queen antics, or poor Me games, this is and Adult RP room, as such You are exspected to act with some sence, while yes We know that not everyone has a good day all the time, if you feel your bad day would effect your RP and there for effect the RP of others, its simple don't come in until You are in the proper Mind set to rp.
4). This home is not a place for OOC discussion and RT fights, it is a place for RP, if You have an OOC problem with some one, take it somewhere else, if You have an RT problem with someone take it some where else.
5). There will be no realm or charater crossing, If You know someones former charater or charaters as the case may be from Gor or any other realm and didn't like them, or even if you loved them keep it out of this RP, it has nothing to do with the here and now.
6). There will be no disney charaters. this is not the place for 7 ft women with muscles to throw a man 6 yards with out breaking a sweat Sheena and Xena do not exist here, Nor does Superman or Wonder Woman, there are no Vampires, there are no elves, dwarves, werewolves, demons, or other such creatures; that is ment for other realms not this one.
7). There is NO Magic in this room, You can not conjure a sword by thinking about it, You can not kill some one with a spell.
8). Treat others with the respect You wish to be treated with Yourself. Always above all others, Your fellow Members here are Your family and we respect each other. Do not be putting down Your fellow Members, do not sit idly by while others do, and do not be stabbing each other in the back..REMEMBER The Back You stab today; maybe the One exspected to save your life tomorrow.
9). We are a family, a home, and as such we are there for each other, none of us can be called to draw blood against one of our Own; We stick together through thick and thin, while we recognize that all families and homes have their problems, and no one can get along all the time, if We are all adults about it we can work it out and become a stronger home as we go, no outside people or force should have the chance to come between one of us and another member of the home.
10). Mating, here in the Isle, Our Leader is Karian by birth, and there for has made the Mating rule as it would be in Kar. As such, there is no FC or Companionship, if a Man wishes a Woman and He has her agreement, He simply lays claim to Her, and She becomes His Woman, when the time comes that the couple no longer wishes to be together, or one or the other wishes to end it, It is simply done by stating it is at an end, and they go their seperate ways.
11). This is a Modified Mirror/ Kill Zone. This means there must be a viable in charater reason for the kill. and if We can't kill in Your home. You can't kill in ours.
12). Travel Pull down's and the Location Pull down's need to be used realistically, if You are at the gathering area and some one is on a ship You can't be talking to them.
13). The StoryTeller Mode may only be used by Members of this home, and slaves may only Use it if permission has been given to them by a Free, prior to each use.
14). slaves will not use NPC/ or story teller as a means to escape, or kidnapping.
15). slaves did not travel on gor, alone, at least not without exspecting to be captured. So if you are a slave not of this home and You travel to this home, whether your owned or not, be prepared to be caged. Owned slaves, your owner will have 24 hours to come to this home to seek to regain you, but remember if you travelled all the way here with out your owner, then He/She must realistically have a RP that backs up Him knowing where you are, there is no cell phones on gor. so prepared to be chained and caged, until that 24 hrs is up, and once that has passed Your fate lays in the hands of the H.P.I.C. or the Slaver. Uncollared slaves, you will be immediately collared and chained to the wall until your fate is decided.
16). Owners of slaves who have travelled here and been caught, understand that without a realistic RP to tell us how You knew where the girl/boy was, the H.P.I.C. or Slaver; can with out compensation to You, collar the slave to this home. If they do however decide to return the slave to You, exspect that there will be a fee paid by You, to the home for the slaves keeping while here. Depending on your slaves behavior while she/he was here this could be exspencive to You. So let's hope Your slave knows how to act like an adult and not be whiney, bitchy, or disruptive. That Fee will be a standard flat rate of no less than 3 gold, more if the slave proves to be a hassle. If this is not possible due to Your finances, then You have two choices, surrender the slave to the home, Or work off the debt to the Home. This is in NO WAY meaning leave Your present home. This means, if Your slave travels with out You, and/or with out Your permission, and You have to either pay a heafty fee to regain her, or work of the fee, then maybe Your slave will feel less inclined to travel with out her Owner or one of her Home in the future. This is ment for realisim, as I am sure in gor slaves of Ar did not just walk into Port Kar or Kassar, alone every day, or slaves of Scagnar did not just crawl into Tuchuk daily and exspect to be returned unscathed to their home or owners.
17). No Anonymous Messangers, If You are coming to this home, You will deliver that Message in the form of Your gorean Persona or it will be considered that the message was never recieved.

20). FW are NEVER EVER above a FM in this home, no Matter what Your name is or what Your position is in this home, any FW who disrepects a Man of this room may feel a kolar about their necks. Remember Your Free Women, and You are such only because Men allow it, this is GOR not BDSM, and NOT Earth. Mind Your tounge and Your place; Or You may loose them.
21). Free Men may go where they wish and when they wish, but use common sence, don't stage a one man Raid on Scagnar, or Tuchuk, or walk into the cross roads and take on the whole room alone, that is fool hardy and may cost You, Your life, and Us, a good Man.
22). FW of this Home will not travel ALONE to any Home on gor, You may Use NPC's but mind Yourselves, if You disrespect the Home You visit and become collared, and We do obtain You back, You may remain in that collar even when You return, Our FM have more important things to do than run after foolish FW, and chance getting themselves killed. FW of this Home may NEVER under any circumstances travel to the Crossroads, or the Northern Forest, if You do, You take Your fate in Your own hands an NO FM of this home will come to Your rescue if You get in trouble. FW may only go to the LEP or one of the Stadiums of combat with a proper LIVE.. NON NPC escort.
23). Free Women do not need Veils here unless their Homes require it, We ask You remember Who You are and what Your place is.
24). This is not the Dating game, if Your are here just to meet some one in hopes of cyber sex, or in hopes of finding some one to meet RT, this is not the place for that, there are plenty of singles groups on line, don't bring that here.
25). If you are a Member of this home, You are exspected to spend time in the home, granted we all have RT lives, and RT has away of coming up and making it difficult to be on line, This is something we all understand, but please if You are going to be away for more than a few days please post a message to the absences section of the message boards, or send an e-mail to one of the ranking members just to let us know what is up. We are not trying to dictate but like all homes we can not stay running, and strong if our members spend more time hanging around in IM's than in room.
