SLAVE RULES OF THE CITY OF RUINS

* These rules have been created for the express purpose of keeping the City a peaceful and enjoyable place to be; they are not intended to be overly restrictive, yet harmony cannot be maintained without rules to guide us. As in any situation, there are always exceptions to every rule.

Remember: Ignorance is NOT an excuse for improper behavior in Gor.

SLAVE RULES

All slaves are to obey the Rules of the City of Ruins; the following rules provide a basic guide governing the specific conduct of slaves. These rules are subject to change without notice by either the Administrator, without consulting the slaves involved. Any incidents, of which a slave feels uneasy or unsure, that are not covered by these rules should be reported to either the first girl or the Administrator.

Remember: Your collar carries the honor of your owner. Your attitude can make it light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain.


JEALOUSY: Jealousy will not be tolerated by any slave! Jealousy and possessiveness have killed more slaves than disobedience. It's important to remember the Master owns the slave. The slave does NOT own the Master.

DISPUTES: It's important to remember the first girl is here to help you with any problems you may have especially in areas dealing with Masters etc. if you are unsure of something. The correct way to go about addressing the problem is to take it to the first girl, if she is not available then take it to the second girl, etc. Masters are NOT interested in dealing with slave disputes etc. So please don't go whining to a Master at the slightest little problem you are having. The first girl will decide if the problem needs to be taken to a Master or dealt with in some other way.

ORDERS: Any commands issued to a slave by her Master [his Mistress] take precedence over any other instructions given. A slave must work to obey her Master's every wish without hesitation, without question and with utmost devotion. If the orders given to a slave by any Freeperson contradict those issued by the slave's Owner, the slave should politely explain this, and refuse to comply. An Owner's orders automatically overrule those of other Freepersons, no matter who they are. If a slave can see that there is potential for a conflict s/he should politely inform the Freeperson in advance at the earliest opportunity. If any Owner wishes to give orders that conflict with Rules of the City, this should be cleared through the Administrator and/or Ruin City Council, with reasons given.

HARASSMENT: Slaves subjected to any harassment while in the City of Ruins are to inform a Leader or any other Free of this City immediately.

GREETINGS: All slaves will greet properly; if untrained, mistakes will be disregarded and/or helpfully corrected.

WHISPERING: All slaves are required to beg permission in open chat before whispering to any Free, except in the case of emergency or harassment. Slaves may whisper to any other slave without asking permission.

SLAVE SPEECH: Slaves are permitted to speak in the first person, within the City of Ruins.

BACK TALK: A slave may NOT argue with a Freeperson. In any difference of opinion, a slave is always permitted the last words, which are: "Yes Master, or "Yes, Mistress."

RESPECT: Slaves will show proper respect to all other slaves, whether visiting or of this City. While slaves of higher silk levels should be looked to for guidance, slaves will keep in mind that NO SLAVE IS OF GREATER WORTH THAN ANOTHER

GREETING PANTHERS: It is proper to address a Panther girl (PG) as in "Lowers eyes to the feet of (Mistress or (PG)Panther 'Name") Greetings ..... welcome to the City of Ruins." A slave may use the title "Panther / PG" before the name.

FREE SPEECH: Slaves do not speak freely unless they first beg permission, and it is then granted by their Owner or another Free Person. A slave may greet freely and not ask permission each time a new person enters after this permission has been granted. Free speech, including greetings and well-wishes to those departing, are included in this permission and remains in effect for the duration of the slave's stay. The only time a slave begs permission to greet or well -wish is when she/he is at the feet of a Free.

BRB/AFK: If you need to be away from keyboard ask to be excused, or if it is a real-time urgency, type: brb 911 or EMG [if possible].

RETURNING FROM BRB/AFK: Always beg permission to re-enter if you have been away from keyboard for more than 15 minutes. If absence was less than 15 minutes, slave may return with a post such as: *slips silently back into GZ* or "quietly returns to Master's feet* This is a courtesy and lets all know you have returned without disrupting any conversation.

ORDERS TO LEAVE: When a Free person tells you to leave the area, do so...do not question it...just go...it is for your protection.

EXITING: The right way to exit is to type it out, for example: [name]rises from the serving furs/Owner's feet and takes 3 steps back in respect, then walks through the doorway. Do NOT just poof, unless someone is trying to attack you.

CAPTURES: If you are captured and re-ko'lared by a Free outside of the City of Ruins, you must obey Them while under Their ko'lar as you would obey your first Master/Mistress. If you are captured, you belong to the One who capped you, and your Owner has one week to reclaim His or Her property. Any slave who flees after being caught will be posted publicly as a runaway. As a runaway slave, you can be either summarily killed or returned to your Owner. A minimum of two (2) posts must be made when attempting to evade capture: the first post is to place distance between yourself and the One trying to capture you [such as dodging a net, or rolling aside, etc], and the second to leave the area. Running without posting allows the One attempting to cap you to still come after you and complete the capture. By law, a slave who escapes one who has captured her, is a runaway.

Free women, captured but not yet enslaved, may escape legally
theft, or capture.

ABANDONMENT: All slaves here that are property of the Free that reside in the ACR, are subject to become the property of the City, if the Free happens to abandon them for any reason. They will be otherwise sold or kept here in the city.

WEAPONS: Slaves are forbidden to touch any form of weapon, including implements of punishment. If ordered by her/his Master to fetch a whip, or similar item, s/he will carry it carefully in the mouth. By Gorean Law, the penalty for committing this offense is often death *Exception to this rule is if First Girl is given permission under special circumstances, for only the whip.

Note: Ulos (kitchen knives) are not considered weapons in their everyday use, they will be at all times locked and chained to the wall. Understand it is not the "touching" of the weapon by a slave that is forbidden as much as the "intention" to use ANYTHING, known as a weapon or not, with threatening intent towards a Free Person or His property.

SAME SEX SCENEING: There is no public same sex scening in the City of Ruins, that is ment for the privacy of private rooms! Public same sex scening of any overt sexual activity is not permitted, whether it be between free persons, slaves, or any combination thereof. Nothing herein is intended to restrict private, consensual activity in the alcoves of the city between adults.

CYBER - CIDE: Slaves may not commit cyber-cide. In Gor slaves were watched closely at all times, if not by their Owner, other Free took notice of them. Therefore, entering an empty room and posting a cyber-cide will not be acknowledged. A slave would not have access to broken bowls, or glasses. Daggers are never just laying around and you are not fast enough to pull the weapon from a Master. So do not try it.

PROVING FOODS / DRINKS: There is no tasting of food or drink (tasting for poison is an online Gorism ).



SUMMARY

Participation in room discussions is pleasing, idle chit chat, complaining, and/or gossip is NOT.


A slave is to uphold the honor of his/her Home and Owner/Master/Mistress at all times. Remember the collar you wear is not your own but your Owner's; thus, you reflect your Owner in every action you do and in every word you say.


ALWAYS use common sense everyday manners!!

Slaves who "entice" with slave heat, should be prepared to act upon such actions; teasing is not honorable or desirable in a slave unless they intend to use what they offer. Slave heat should NOT be used unless the slave truly wishes to "entice" the Free Person. If you show it, be prepared to use it.


Do not lie, any slave caught doing so will be called upon it, and may even be punished, kicked or banned. Honesty is an admired quality in a slave.


One a final note, you are slave: SERVE!!! Offer to serve any Free without a slave serving them at that time. Even if you come to 'just see a friend' or 'just to say "greetings",' you are still expected to serve. After all, remember, serving doesn't just mean getting food or drink, it may also entail being asked to converse, dance, or just kneel pretty upon the Free Person's furs.


If you are slave in your heart then act from your heart.
