Some Rules (Generally) to survive online Gor Slaves address all Free Men and Women as Master or Mistress. If their gender cannot be determined by the nick, look at the profile, if that doesnt determine gender then use Master until corrected, beg mercy for your error, and then make note. All slave nicks begin with a lowercase letter. Master or Mistress nicks usually begin with an uppercase letter. In the Gor series, slaves are only allowed to address a Free Man by his given name with permission (i.e., Master John instead of just Master). Although it is a common practice to use the name as well in the medium of Chat, some men will demand that girls receive permission first. Simply beg forgiveness for your error and make a note. When entering a Tavern, look for the url and goto it to see what is expected. Male Owners of a Tavern are greeted first, then the other Masters, then Mistresses, FW, then slaves, with a seperate post for each group. Usually if one's Owner is at the place the slave enters, they wait for their owner to instruct them to enter...or if no begging to enter is required, an owned slave always greets the one who they belong to first. While Free Men may not always be right, they are by definition, never wrong. Therefore slaves do not argue with Free Men.. Remember, you have the last two words in any disagreement...those being, "Yes, Master." Slaves have no rights, you own nothing. Even your name is not your own, it can be changed at any time (in fact, for an unowned girl it may be changed several times at a Free Man's whim, so be prepared). Any items your Owner gives you can just as easily be taken away. His will supercedes your own, and his tiniest whim is your absolute law. Jealousy and possessiveness of one's Owner are not becoming in a slave. It's you who are owned, not he. While any human may FEEL these emotions, a slave girl does not act upon them. Slaves shouldn't privately message (MSG, whisper, PM) any man in channel without first seeking permission in the open channel. Slaves who entice should be prepared to act upon such actions. "Slave heat" is a term girls use to describe their sex. However, in the Gor series, the author uses the term to describe the deep desire and sexual need of a slave girl, not her actual anatomical genitalia. In any event, "slave heat" should not be used unless the slave is allowed and ready to sexually please the man. If you show it, be prepared to use it. Slaves new to Gor should not use slave heat in their serves. Learn the rules regarding its usage by observation or MSGing other slaves first. Slaves should not enter into the conversations of Free Men and Women. If you wish to converse with other girls, do so in PRIVATE MSG's. Please, do not discuss personal, everyday issues in the open. Slaves do not touch any form of weaponry. Also, slaves are not allowed to touch coins without express authorization from their Master. If a man tries to give you a coin, either let it fall to the furs or accept it in your mouth and carry it to the appropriate Free Man. Slaves are to be pleasing at all times; there is no room for PMS or bad moods. Perfection of service and submission is the goal, mere excellence will be tolerated. In Most online Gor, slaves speak in third person speech. Therefore you shouldn't use the words "I," "me," or "mine." Instead, say "this one," "this slave," or "this girl." The exception is in speaking of a girl's particular Owner. If permitted, she may be allowed to say, "my Master." Although there are instances of slaves using the standard greeting of "Tal" in the books, it is generally restrict its use to the Free. It is a good idea to ask for permission to enter a room, if you are unsure of the policy. Always ask permission before leaving a room or going away from your keyboard. If you don't know how to serve, you should not try unless a man commands it. Then it is wise to tell the man that you are untrained before you begin. He will decide whether he wishes you to serve or not. If he insists upon your service, take a deep breath, PRIVATE MSG another slave for help with that item, and try your best to be pleasing. Never correct another slave in the open channel, send a private message instead. If you are unsure of something, it's always a good idea to MSG a more experienced slave for advice. A slave girl is supposed to serve all Free Men and be pleasing. However, if you are told to do something that goes against a direct order from your Owner, relate to the Master your Owner's wishes regarding the matter. If he still insists, ask for help.. If a girl is owned, she may have explicit instructions and you should beg your Master to know about yours. If a girl is unowned, and the request does not go against any Owner's command...remember a slave girl's primary purpose is to serve men and be pleasing. Always try to avoid the cyber drama... face it, this is cyber and the poor little slave girl is annoying and gets old after awhile. Slaves are here for the Free.. that means, Gor owes a slave nothing, but they owe everything to Gor... for allowing them to be on Gor.. and the breath they take. A slave is not bossy, nor do they argue with anyone, they take what they get and they may not like it, but they dont complain about it. If a slave has to be bossy, maybe they should reconsider their role in Gor. Gor is not a fair or just place. Out of respect for those who take the philosophies outlined in the writing of John Norman seriously, please try to be polite, pleasing and follow the rules of whatever channel you may find yourself in. When in Gor, do as the Goreans do. Besides, it is incredibly rude to enter a man's house, and disrespect his home. Try to learn the philosophy underlying the fiction of the stories and the online stuff. You may come to understand yourself better in the process. Back Home |
