Its a well known fact by now that I killed my last slave. This is not a post about her but gor in general.
what I want to know is what some one is suppossed to expect, I have been doing Gor for a long long time
Ive seen the wild years, Old Gor and all that, as some proclaim it, I just alway call it gor.
Am I to just accept this crap that some call gor, its nothing more than piss poor D/S
I have earned My tags and My status and I'll be stuffed if I am to suddenly be "Nice" because the so called slaves are a "wittle" scared.
I will never moddy coddle slaves, they are here to serve ME not the opposite like some pussy whipped so called Men
No One fights, No One spars, There are more FW Rambos than Warriors, most, not all ~ slaves are princesses who have to be kept in cotton wool, Homes barely interact,
People sit all safe in their homes because their Homes" rules will save them
the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to flicker, as this is not what I sign on for.
I am looking forwards to the reunion this weekend, hopefully see some old faces.
Theres a old saying, if you dont know ASK
So you tell me?
I am Judas

Yeah, I find it interesting that posting OOC in a blog would restart the time away clock, as the person is neither role-playing or entering into a Gor room. It seems a failure to separate the individual from the character portrayed which one would think role-play standards would be fairly keen on keeping conceptually divided. So, essentially, such a restart doesn't make much sense from a role-play point of view.
Greetings Mistress (CHaldea), if bana may respond respectfully. This one was taught that yes being "OOC" was allowed. However, when a person is doing time away, they should not A) enter into Gorean Role play and B) should not present their "new" or "future" character until time away is up. When a person becomes part of a Home, they also agree to the rules of that Home.
The fourteen day away rule, as bana learned, was intended to allow for a cooling down period so that a person could rebuild a new character. It was also intended to allow a fresh start so that the person returning could remain hopefully anonymous. So that possibly the new character would return free of any past. Respectfully, bana, slave of Master Thiery.
thank You bana! Of course it makes sense. I began My comment in a 'general' setting, but beans having spilled all over,... I did not believe that letter B) was a broken rule, of 'presenting new char'. I just did not read it that way, My bad. And You know I care deeply when others are hurting, aye, too much. I did not support those actions taken, but new from where the thoughts came. I read on a special girl's profile, quotes, and think they will fit, in closing 'that' sub Topic of blog (cont)
""Her feelings were easily hurt, a valuable property in a slave girl. Too, she could not control her feelings, another excellent property in a slave girl. Her feelings, vulnerable, deep, exploitable, in her expressions and on her face, betrayed her, exposing her to men, and their amusement, as helplessly as her stripped beauty. They made her more easily controlled, more a slave."

I disagree Warren. Participating is still being in character. Away means away from Gor not half in half out.
How is posting OOC participating IC, Eleri? It isn't even so when one isn't on time away. As such, that doesn't even come close to logical. On the other hand, perhaps that in itself qualifies it to be a Gorean RP rule.
In my opinion time away means just that - away. Let's be real here - the character that got killed is not NPC. Without an OOC human behind the character, it does not exist - they are one in the same, they should both do time away. Since this is the pervading opinion of most who r/p here (also evidenced by this discussion) the way I see it "Arya" has a choice: She can do what's expected by doing true time away - or she can latch on to the lone dissenter and do as she pleases.
Either decision will lead to how she is seen in the future. I'm not going to tell her what to choose because I dont pretend to have that much power over someone who is not myself nor in my control. Also, I will not be sharing in her consequence - which incidentally will be both IC, and OOC - funny how it works that way.
If the OOC player and the IC character are one in the same, there is no point in distinguishing the two, and yet the are often seen as apart. For them to be separate entities at all other times except when the character happens to expire, and only then to be considered to be one in the same, is an inconsitency that has no particular merit outside of role-play rooms. That such an inconsitency happens to appeal to a majority that role-play here, or so it is claimed, does in no way eliminate it.
Yes, it is funny that how one behaves OOC often directly affects how one is treated IC. Funny in a sort of a dark humour way, in that it is amusing that while the separation of player and character is often raised as a standard of role-play Gor in concept it is almost as often ignored in practice.
bana believes that is what Master (Judas) is referring to in His original post. It seems that the philosophy illustrated in the books is what intrigued and drew people to Gorean role- play. A standard which made Gorean role play different from others, over the years, is now quite often ignored. If people don't attempt to follow the philosophy, if there are no standards or rules that hold us accountable then what is the use?
I understand both points of view, and I dont argue either side. and Im Positive that the typist 'Ayra' will neither be coming back AS a char ~ Ayra, or will be posting anything again, having gotten a firm' message.
The rules have been "no posting in or on a Gorean room, blog or anything Gor related for 14 days". Stay out of a Gor room in a name you plan on using in RP or blogs here. It's fairly simple for most people.
okie doke. Think we got er, now. The only way an 'away' person, or ANY ooc business person can communitcate, is Privately, with no hint of gor' in email addy.. eh?
For the sake of simplicity, yes.
And if someone thinks the rules are wrong or unfair? Then don't go to the places that follow them.
The philosophies expressed in the Gorean books have nothing to do with the contrived standards of online Gorean role-play, though adherring to them could be said to be so. But, the existance of a standard says nothing of the merit of it, no matter how long it has been so. However, within the context of the vast majority following the standard and actually giving those that spend time away a new start it would be fine enough. As such it may as well be maintained, in hope for a future it is so.
"The philosophies expressed in the Gorean books have nothing to do with the contrived standards of online Gorean role-play " -- Agreed. However since we are talking about role-play specifically, I don't see that someone's personal belief would have any bearing on accepted role-play standards. Not everyone participating in Gorean role-play actually lives those philosophies - ergo, role-play : ) Thanks for acknowledging there is a standard, and its' necessity.
Warren does not role play , but He sits and criticizes Us that do, What ever You do in life has rules and guidelines, and online Gor is No different. Now Warren as the only true Gorean that has ever existed even thou Gor is fictional, will consistently come and try to belittle online Gor for those of Us that enjoy it. So as always I take little or No notice of his self opinionated ramblings, and will continue to enjoy my gor. As some one that does NOT role play His opinions are worthless.
