With regards to sharing Rules from before. The Leaders of the Homes that came together “back then” didn’t always agree one hundred percent on everything. They each believed in Gor their way, led their Homes their way and role played in their way. Still they came together for the sake of maybe what they perceived would enable Gorean Role-play to grow? bana can’t answer for the whys behind their decisions as she was not present nor would she ever attempt to speak for a Free. What she does know is that dualling and/or retiring had become an easy “out” for some looking to avoid the consequences of their actions. Society, both real time and in role-play, has rules and consequences. If those words seem too harsh perhaps expectations would be better? What are the expectations in Gorean Role-play? Some degree of honesty, fairness, integrity, accountability, commitment, discipline and imagination. bana shared the General Rules not because they are carved in stone. she shared the rules out of respect for the Free Men who came together and took that first step.
