So, you have chosen to become a sub, or slave, otherwise known as a kajira/kajirus on Gor. This page will assist you, helping
you to become a better slave, and give you advise on protocols such as serving, punishments and the like.
The life on Gor that you are placed in leaves you with no control. You are owned and do as you are told or face the consequences.
Bring enough dishonour in your actions, and you will find yourself dead. Masters/Mistress will not put up with a disobediant
slave for long, so you must ensure that you please and honour the Masters and Mistresses that you serve.
Slaves own nothing. Slaves cannot hold weapons nor any item of value. But slaves can, to an extent, have fun on Gor. Slaves
do have names, and these names (nicks) on IRC must be lower case ONLY. There are no exceptions to this rule, and the ONLY
time that there might be a capital letter in your nick is when you have been collared. More about that later.
Here is some more information about slaves and their life on Gor.
Clothing.
Slaves wear silks. Nothing more, and quite a bit less at times. Slaves also wear camisks if their Master/Mistress wishes
them to do so. Slaves might be ordered to wear nothing at all, and they must imply their state of dress in everything that
they do upon channel.
There are two main colours of silks, white and red.
White Silk slaves are for the pleasure of their Master/Mistress only. These slaves have
been given rules to follow by their owner, and will follow these to the letter, or face the consequences. A dishonoured Master/Mistress
is likely to disipline with the whip first, a more severe method of punishement at the Master/Mistresses disgression, or even
death.
Generally speaking, White Silk slaves may serve other Masters and Mistresses on channel with food and drink, and other
things at their owners disgression. Sexual favours are to be only savoured by their owner.
Red Silk slaves are known as pleasure slaves. They may service others sexually, as long
as it stays within their owners wishes. Some Red Silk slaves may not be allowed to serve food and drink. Again, if a Red Silk
slave brings dishonour to their owner in any respect, they can at LEAST expect a whipping.
Masters and Mistresses cannot "see" a slave on channel, so if you serve one that you have not met before, you should mention
your silk colour in your service to them.
Collars
When you first come to Gor, you have no collar. Collars are a mechanism on Gor that communicates the fact that you are
owned by a Master or Mistress. Collars are included within your nick on IRC, and will look something like the following...
kajira{Master}
Where kajira is your name and Master in the curly brackets {} is the name of your owner, ALWAYS having the initial CAPITALISED.
You will learn more about collars as you spend more time on Gor.
One of the first collars you might wear on Gor is the Tavern/Channel collar. These collars afford protection whilst you
are new to Gor, and learning, and give you some protection against rogue Masters/Mistresses who might takes you and collar
you for their own. Many a slave has been unhappy at this situation, so you should speak with the Masters that have OPERATOR
status (and @ in front of their name) as to gaining such a collar. Other slaves on the channel will assist you in your training,
and the methodology of Gor, and point you in the right direction if you are not sure.
Tavern/channel slaves wear collars that look like this...
kajira{KIw}
The above example shows the name of the slave (kajira) and within the curly brackets (the collar itself) are the Inn/channel
and colour of silks. In this example, the Inn/Channel is KaiilaInn, and the colour of the silks she wears are white. When
you are given a collar, you will be told exactly how you should make your nick look.
Once you wear a collar, only your owner can remove it. Sometimes, removal includes the death of the slave. Other times,
the owner might be compelled to release you to Free status. If a Master/Mistress does release a slave, it does not always
follow that the slave becomes free. If the slave has been BRANDED as a slave with the kef (k, which is used as ONE of the
many brands around), that slave may never be free, save by being killed and coming back as another.
Re-Incarnation
Slaves are killed quite often on Gor. It may be because the slave has dishonoured her Master/Mistress in some way. On the
other hand, it may be that it pleases that Master/Mistress to kill the slave at that time. Slaves that have been killed may
come back as another in the following way...
As long as there are no bans to the slave's full address (Example : *!*@slaves.address.here.) then a slave may come back
re-incarnated. The slave must change their complete nick as well as username, and take on a completely different persona to
the slave that was killed. Slaves cannot tell others that they are re-incarnate. This obviously happens, in so much as a slave
might tell one's sisters and brothers that were close to the slave that died, but Masters and Mistresses should NEVER be told.
NEVER, EVER TELL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN RE-INCARNATED, OR WERE ANOTHER SLAVE, ON OPEN CHANNEL. IT WILL BRING SWIFT RETRIBUTION,
AND POSSIBLY A PERMANANT BAN.
Channels
There may be times when you come to a channel/Inn/Tavern that uses different rules to what you are about to read, but in
general, this is how you should conduct yourself on channel.
Entry
When you join the channel, you should ALWAYS ask permission to ENTER. You would do so in the following way...
/me kneels at the door, and asks permission to enter
That is the command to type. Some channels allow macros' to be used, which allow you to press a couple of keys, and the
command is sent to channel for you. Others do not, and require you to type all of your messages manually all of the time.
If the channel requires no permission to enter, you may walk in, and kneel somewhere in the channel. Normally it is near
the fire upon the furs. If you have an owner, you would be told how to ask permission to enter (when required) and where to
place yourself (Example : /me kneels at her/his Masters/Mistresses chair upon the furs on the floor). You will be advised
how to ask entry one way or another. Ignore this at your peril.
