Loki 19:06:10 pm CDT
~greens dart to the entrance, then the waterclock, noting the time~
Lady Lita 19:07:01 pm CDT
*settling into the furs* So, I am interested to know whether having a topic posted ahead of time will draw more folks in to Forum.
Loki 19:07:42 pm CDT
are You refer to the left over topic posted on the boards?
Lady Lita 19:10:34 pm CDT
Yes, Loki.
Loki 19:12:05 pm CDT
Aye, we'll see, I dont think any other Captains are going to make forum, so people are stuck with Me moderating, Ill bring up the left over topic first thing.....if no one shows at the bottom of the hr Ill prolly cancel forum.
Lady Lita 19:12:47 pm CDT
That will be too bad if thast has to happen.
Lady Lita 19:14:11 pm CDT
I understand that, though I did think it was 7:30. Still, am one of those compulsively prompt people.

Lady Lita 19:27:45 pm CDT
*grins wickedly* We could also let her sit on a Hindu bed of nails. That would no doubt keep her awake! *giggle*

alright, lets get this show moving, Xertog isnt going to be able to lead forum tonight, Sandman is busy, and Im not sure if Ulrich is going to make it, so Ill start....
snowrose you ready?
nasreen{TH}t 19:30:32 pm CDT
Mistress Lita...that actually doesn't sound half bad...
Mistress Laroona ermm it is a new batch this week...no smarter or nicer then the ones that just left...

hushes
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 19:31:12 pm CDT
yes Master Loki...girl is ready
Loki 19:32:51 pm CDT
aye girl....
Ok, lets start with that carry over topic, since Xertog posted it on the boards.....
Must a girl repeat her kneel whether as a tower slave or pleasure slave.. describing each of the basic things, over and over and over.. each time she does so, rather than just it being said that she kneels as a tower slave or as a pleasure slave?
any thoughts? for those of you that have seen this Captain Ulrich gave his two cents on it on the boards.
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 19:35:06 pm CDT
that was covered in slave class, it is so confusing why the Free of this home have their noses stuck in the training of the GS slaves. Would these same Free dare to walk in a Masters home and change what He has taught His slaves? Thats what happens in GS constantly...
Laroona 19:35:32 pm CDT
I agree with the post made by Ulrich,Slave Master regarding this topic.
To post tower, tower nadu, nadu etc is in my opinion lazy and does little to describe servitude and more importantly slaves demeanor or his/her body. After all a slave is here to promote GS and herself is part of that promotion no matter the slaves status.
It is simple for a slave to briefly describe she kneels with hands on her thighs, eyes lowered, back straight etc. This is all part of painting a picture of herself/himself.
More often than not Free would not know positions anyway.
Laroona 19:36:49 pm CDT
shadow I can only comment on what I see and how I understand GS training is conducted and the expectations of Council
Loki 19:39:31 pm CDT
Im curious to know if there was a particular reason why the question was asked last forum. Is there an underlying story?
Lady Lita 19:39:55 pm CDT
My thoughts, and they are just My thoughts are these: This is roleplay, after all. And since Others cannot SEE what we do, we need to be careful to paint a good verbal picture so they can get the feel of the action and the room. If someone is visiting Who is new to Gor, they are not going to know what tower or nadu are, and are merely going to be confused.
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 19:40:24 pm CDT
yes Mistress Laroona and at least You do it in a helpful way using the GS website.. but that still is the Councils business, they own the GS chain - NO ONE else and its not for a Free to come in and reteach what is taught. These same issues come up over and over again and its because a Free has told a girl "no don't do it that way" Not once has anything been brought to shadow's attention that was correctly corrected to a slave on the chain.. stop confusing the slaves, it makes it rough and its no fun having to back over what has already been taught.
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 19:42:02 pm CDT
shadow will state this right here -
the chain has been told if they are whispered to, told something different than what they have been taught they are to respectfully tell the Free they will copy the comment or question to the fg and the fg will address it. The reteaching is old.
marsh{GS} 19:42:31 pm CDT
sometimes in the books they just mention the position without going into detail....
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 19:42:40 pm CDT
yes there is Master Loki but not sure it needs to be that public? Though perhaps..
Laroona 19:43:39 pm CDT
why I refer slaves to the GS and in particular the kajira section and if I feel real generous to sample serves etc... I try to help as being on both sides of the fence I understand how much work slaves have to undertake and learn and conversly the lack a Free needs to know
Loki 19:43:44 pm CDT
aye marsh, that was in the books, this is gor online, details are what make roleplay exciting.
shaina 19:43:57 pm CDT
shaina thought the question was just to ask if a girl can simply say she's "kneeling in nadu (or tower)" after she's already made her entrance post and did the long typed out description.... the answer of course being no...
however it's a bit taxing to a girl to have to do the very long detailed description each time she's served.. especially if she's the only one around serving... a shorter version..such as "kneeling with parted thighs" or a briefer description is acceptable is it not?
Laroona 19:44:45 pm CDT
marsh there is a good section in slaves manual with pictures of postions there too *S*
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 19:44:46 pm CDT
This one just feels that the Forum has degenerated into constant discussions of slave matters that are handled very well in slave class. she had hoped that sometimes the forums would be about ideas and the philosophy of our chosen v/t lifestyle...she would be thrilled just to hear Free discuss Free matters...give a better idea of how their minds work ~hits the button before she chickens out~
Lady Lita 19:44:50 pm CDT
Is not a Free, being Free, allowed to express how They wish something served to them, as long as it does not violate the protocols given on the web pages?? I.E. black wine first or second slave, their drink hot, chilled, or room temperature? I have seen, though not here, slaves who are being punished, required to serve in she-sleen positon for certain period of time, and other variations.
Loki 19:44:59 pm CDT
no worries shadow, I was wondering, as no question is a stupid question, this one seems very self evident in the answer.
shaina 19:45:19 pm CDT
meaning after she's served...
of course she'd describe it in the actual serve.. shaina was just talking about returning to the slave mats once she's visited the box or whatever
Loki 19:46:50 pm CDT
aye snowrose, that would be a nice change, instead of the constant bickering about slaves.
shaina 19:47:08 pm CDT
very well said snowrose...
Laroona 19:47:24 pm CDT
shaina why a brief description IMO is all that is needed.. such as I posted earlier.. but I believe on entry a far longer description is wanted.. that is my understanding *S*
Loki 19:47:43 pm CDT
shaina, if its part of the serve it should be done right. I personally dont beleive in shortcuts.
shaina 19:48:42 pm CDT
entry yes Mistress... as shain said she thought this was just about after the main entrance is made.. and after a descriptive serve.. as in just returning to the furs or something..
shaina 19:49:17 pm CDT
and of course the answer is still no simply saying nadu or tower...
lol.. shaina needs to hush.. she's confusing herself now...
Laroona 19:49:24 pm CDT
snowrose I agree.. often if one goes over the notes over the years you will find that topics are often repeated...
I personally when around am more inclined as shadow and Council know willing to help the slaves in positive ways rather than derogative
Dak 19:49:56 pm CDT
as one that has trained My own in accordance with the GS manual for sometime and it was never acceptable to leave even one part of the position description out anytime they move to that position , I'm in total agreement with what Captain Ulrich said on th corks.
Laroona 19:50:11 pm CDT
and of course what is seen by one is not seen the smae as another *S*
Laroona 19:51:05 pm CDT
**slaps at my typist again.. when will they learn**
Loki 19:51:05 pm CDT
how bout, for the remainder of this forum, and the next, we try to bring up topics that are not about slaves and their training. Slave training is for the Slavemaster and fg to deal with, not everyone. The nitpicking is starting to get old.
Lets see what you guys can come up with. Any other topic suggestions? spit one out.
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 19:51:31 pm CDT
its not even bickering -
its a constant slam to training and personally shadow is sick of it cause the complaints are petty and silly.
shaina 19:51:43 pm CDT
*puckers her lips to spit*
oh wait... *grins*
Loki 19:52:42 pm CDT
~you know what I meant shaina~chuckle~
aye shadow, it will stop.
Loki 19:54:18 pm CDT
any other topics? I didnt bring any along with Me.
Laroona 19:55:14 pm CDT
if Free took the time and effort to read how much training etc a slave goes through then maybe they will understand and learn more about role/playing rather than constant nitpicking on the training which Council set down...
and even the website is under full and total control of Council...
Laroona 19:56:30 pm CDT
Loki I believe one Captain (name escapes me) in the past had a test for Free before they could pledge. maybe that could be brought back...
nasreen{TH}t 19:56:58 pm CDT
ok let nasreen try to make an example...
girl walks down the cobbled street from her Master's holdings...her hazel orbs falling upon the great green door of the Tavern, she steps taking a deep breath as she opens the great door...stepping to one side she drops to her knees...her thighs part widely open,...her waist bends bringing her bosom crushing against the smooth stones...her arms sweeping over her head gathering chestnut locks over her head...her fingers splaying open...may nasreen enter....
hearing permission granted, she draws her thighs together, unfolding her knees ...raising to her full height she pads down the two stairs moving to her right, she reaches the slave furs...turning on the balls of her feet so that as her knees bend, her firm ass coming to rest upon her upturned heels...her thighs parting widely open for all to view her treasure...her fingers trail over her smooth flesh coming to rest upon her creamy thighs....
then the girl would greet...offer service....
after the serve...the Free has pad for His/Her drink....told to return Their feet....she might type something like this...
the girl sucks the coin between her lips, rising up she she turns on her toes padding to the Dais....she bends her head....her pink tongue forces the coin into the locked box.....shaking her head..her locks cascade down her back....turning around she pads quietly back to Master...sliding to her knees in front of Him her thighs parting widely...her hands smooth her curls...then rest on her creamy thighs face down....
that would be corret right?
marsh{GS} 19:57:14 pm CDT
how about the role play of the Free.....like going to war etc?
Loki 19:57:21 pm CDT
aye laroona, I believe that was brought up in forum a while back...it had mixed opinions
Loki 19:58:50 pm CDT
aye marsh, that would be nice, Im not sure if we have enough people for that. And its difficult to arrange something along those lines with another site, it was looked into a while bck, but it didnt go very far. Its a good idea though
Laroona 19:59:54 pm CDT
nasreen that is a good example how I envisage it to be, she still shows her body in her kneel and her submission at entry *S*
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:00:06 pm CDT
Do the FM ever have jousting matches...like the knight's tournament sort of thing? not at the forums, of course
Loki 20:00:20 pm CDT
but of course, marsh, any free can role play anything this wish within the guidelines of the Port Kar room.
Laroona 20:00:32 pm CDT
snowrose only at Festivals..
nasreen{TH}t 20:00:37 pm CDT
this one enjoyed the role play in the Port Kar room....that was done awhile back....and the one she herself started....way back before the tourist season slammed into her rt....now she barely has time to check her e-mails..
Lady Lita 20:01:43 pm CDT
Yes, and I for One thought that went very well, nasreen.*S*
Loki 20:01:45 pm CDT
snowrose, We used to spars, I havnt been around much to know if they are still around. Rames and Zoran were to that I remember. I Myself am just a metalworker, but I can swing a mean chain ~chuckle~ Im not a warrior.
Laroona 20:02:04 pm CDT
The Port Kar room is underutilized
I consider it is up to every pledged free of the site to maybe do more than sit in the Tavern when other rooms are underutilized...
shaina 20:02:17 pm CDT
snowrose.. we used to have a weekly spar between Masters... that was fun when it was going on...
marsh{GS} 20:02:38 pm CDT
would we have a play role night where everyone takes a character's part in one of the books in just a certain section that is particularly exciting? could be fun
nasreen{TH}t 20:02:39 pm CDT
thank You Mistress Laroona...
marsh{GS} 20:02:48 pm CDT
*could
Loki 20:02:53 pm CDT
thats the problem here Laroona, no one is around or willing to do anything, perhaps they just dont know how...
Loki 20:03:31 pm CDT
marsh, we had that, it slowly died, due to no one participating I believe
Laroona 20:03:48 pm CDT
marsh the Port Kar room is where slaves and Free can be another character.. even play two roles.. hard at times but can be fun... *S*
nasreen{TH}t 20:04:28 pm CDT
thank You Mistress Lita...it did seem to go well....
this one will have more time once the season ends...
Loki 20:04:39 pm CDT
The Free need to take these things up for themselves, and just do it, and not wait for the council to schedule it. Its not the councils job to lead the free by the nose so to speak.
marsh{GS} 20:04:59 pm CDT
oh girl did not know that Mistress Laroona!
Laroona 20:05:01 pm CDT
Loki maybe they need to know more than sitting in Tavern as there is more to Gor than that...
shaina 20:05:34 pm CDT
there also needs to be enough here to do things... right now a bigger issue would be getting people into GS in order to do these things...
Laroona 20:06:04 pm CDT
The Captains cannot be around 24/7 to lead people around by their noses... *sighs*
Lady Lita 20:06:40 pm CDT
I would agree there, Laroona. I was thinking the other day if I am going to keep My Physician's skills up to date. I may have to go injure a few folks so I can sew 'em up! *chuckle*
Loki 20:06:45 pm CDT
and how do we fix that Laroona? the council is out of ideas.
marsh, to clarify what Laroona said, aye, a person may play a non playing character in the Port Kar room, but not in any other rooms. And be aware that its not done at any other sites that I know of.
Laroona 20:07:52 pm CDT
shaina if one enters say Port Kar room and have two browsers open people wil enter
I think it is a bad move to have the "who is where" linked... the pool is not and I think GS could have this facility removed.. so people will enter..
just my thoughts
Loki 20:07:57 pm CDT
aye shaina, again, i pose the same question, how to we get people here? this has been a long standing problem, no free, but tons of slaves
Loki 20:08:58 pm CDT
the poolside who is where link doesnt work? I didnt know that
marsh{GS} 20:09:00 pm CDT
aye Master Loki
Laroona 20:09:34 pm CDT
Loki I am lost with ideas too.. Council set aside days and other than slaves very few Free are around to even think of doing more
marsh{GS} 20:09:59 pm CDT
maybe some of the slaves could turn Free ~smiles~
Laroona 20:10:02 pm CDT
Loki no it does not work *S*
Lady Lita 20:10:32 pm CDT
Last I visited, Loki, the Who Is Where link only works if you are actually IN a room. Even a private room.
Laroona 20:11:06 pm CDT
marsh in Port Kar slave can play both free and slave *S*
if you read over the role play board you will see names there that are often slaves playing a Free .. if you recognise them LOl
shaina 20:11:35 pm CDT
shaina wonders how many of those that came here years ago still visit and read the corks?
if we could come up with an event... of some sort.. and invite them all.. a GS Reunion or something...
maybe even post it on some of the other sites to draw attention.... perhaps some would come.. and maybe some would return for good?
Loki 20:11:48 pm CDT
aye Laroona, the council tried, even I have tried to keep things going, but its a lost cause is no one is around. It seems like Sunday forum is the only time people come here. Granted, r/t plays a part in all of this, but not always.
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:11:48 pm CDT
this one does not think removing it is a good idea at all Mistress...a Free may just enter and look around and leave...slaves cannot do that...this one is required to post an entry...with the who is where feature a slave can see and go in and offer to serve...
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 20:12:40 pm CDT
this link works to who is where logged or not
gorean-shores.com/whoshere.cgi/
Laroona 20:13:33 pm CDT
snowrsose and often that can be an issue, slaves being selective who they serve *S*
Lady Lita 20:14:16 pm CDT
yes, shadow. I meant the link at Poolside that Loki had referred to for the Who Is Where.
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 20:14:33 pm CDT
ohhhh sorry :(
Loki 20:14:36 pm CDT
ohhh now I understand what who's where button your talking about. Aye I dont think it works in poolside if you're not logged in it because of the porn advertisments. Just My opinion though
Laroona 20:15:23 pm CDT
LOL Loki that could be it..
Loki 20:16:01 pm CDT
has the Free been going to The Inn during slave class hrs at all?
Laroona 20:16:37 pm CDT
sorry Loki RT has kept me away...
Lady Lita 20:16:44 pm CDT
I have visited once or twice, and a couple of times when it wasn't slave class night but no one else was here.
Loki 20:17:28 pm CDT
aye Lady Lita, its usually dead, sometimes a person will wander down and go in if they dare.
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:17:30 pm CDT
This one goes in if she sees a Free in a room and no slave to serve...
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:17:51 pm CDT
she pops in as she can during breaks etc. just for that reason
Loki 20:18:47 pm CDT
hmmm, perhaps the fg can schedule another dance session and we can post it at poolside inviting people to watch~shrug~ Im not sure how to get people interested in GS
Laroona 20:18:50 pm CDT
LOL I think some are scared we may eat them :LOL
Laroona 20:19:22 pm CDT
Loki that is a good idea.. *S*
marsh{GS} 20:20:28 pm CDT
this girl has heard negative comments about GS at poolside....she doesn't think they like it here...they are ppl who use to be slaves here....shrugs
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 20:20:37 pm CDT
yes Master Loki there is plans for that :)
also a night of praticing serving
and a bath night if we can find a dirty Master to help out .. hehe
Loki 20:20:40 pm CDT
it might work, Im not sure if inviting them to a role play day would work, if they dont know how to interact during role play. I dunno, we gotta do something
Loki 20:21:32 pm CDT
aye marsh, I can believe that, GS has gone threw alot of slaves, and Free for that matter.
Laroona 20:22:01 pm CDT
marsh some are not cut out fpor GS or Gor and or have had bad experiences and they will always post and say negative things
Loki 20:22:28 pm CDT
ah, good deal shadow, it shame my r/t is at night, I wish I could attend
Laroona 20:22:31 pm CDT
yikes shadow no washing my feet then LOl
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 20:22:53 pm CDT
no but to a dance night may spark their interest or even to the night of serving cause the intent is to allow the slaves to serve exactly how taught by GS standards, not really a RP night.. but a practice night
Lady Lita 20:23:12 pm CDT
I have seen several different Free Women in the baths over the last 2-3 weeks. But when I invited Them to come to the Piazza and visit, they didn't.
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:23:34 pm CDT
oh goodie...girl has an icon just for the baths...she's been dying to use it
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 20:24:00 pm CDT
well we could have slave class another night Master Loki that You are available.. *grins*
Laroona 20:24:09 pm CDT
Lita the rules are on entry so if they do not read then they are faced with consequences
Loki 20:24:25 pm CDT
Free Women in the bathouse? lol, collaring time! blast, I wish I was around~chuckle~
Lady Lita 20:24:47 pm CDT
*grins* Ohhh Dak tell us some of the good ones! *chuckle* Those things make SUCH good stories!
Laroona 20:25:13 pm CDT
often ignorance can be mis-inforation if they get told by non-Goreans what Gor is about, ,, the same can be said about the Dungeon
Lady Lita 20:25:25 pm CDT
I wished You were too, Loki. Would have LOVED watching that! *grins*
Loki 20:25:41 pm CDT
shadow, perhaps when you get everything all situated and ready you can petition the council to allow a post on the poolside diving boards to invite people.
Laroona 20:26:09 pm CDT
LOL Loki why I avoid the place heeeeee
marsh{GS} 20:26:27 pm CDT
girl giggles at Master Loki
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~fg 20:26:58 pm CDT
yes Master Loki, shadow will make note of that and while she is writing, she should pencil You in for Your bath?
Loki 20:27:26 pm CDT
~chuckling~ perhaps fg, perhaps
Loki 20:28:14 pm CDT
ok, we have half an ahn left, any topics? dont bother whispering, unless your scared~chuckle~
marsh{GS} 20:28:54 pm CDT
girl thinks the poolside ppl would come for a bath lol
Laroona 20:29:38 pm CDT
maybe marsh maybe.. LOL
Loki 20:33:08 pm CDT
ok, everyone dont speak at once~chuckle~
any topics? just blurt it out or whisper Me
Lady Lita 20:34:36 pm CDT
Ummm... When is tht urt hunt gonna take place? *grins*

Loki my brain is fudged at moment LOL
Loki 20:36:57 pm CDT
~chuckles at Laroona~ I wont go there..
ok here's a two fer..
who were the Kurii of Gor, what were their role and was it of any significance?
and what would people think if one was actually r/p here as a primary character?
Laroona 20:37:44 pm CDT
wise Captain Loki heeeee
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:39:34 pm CDT
are they the Others we are reading of now? animal like things?
Lady Lita 20:39:35 pm CDT
The Kurii were aliens of a different race than the Priest Kings. They were bear-like in appearance, as near as I can tell from the bookd descriptions. They were enemies of the Priest Kings because They wanted to take over Gor and use it for Their Own ends.
They had very little interaction with the "humans" on Gor, in part because to Them, humans were mostly food, though they did use one or two as spies when necessary.
Loki 20:39:52 pm CDT
aye I believe so snowrose
Lady Lita 20:40:27 pm CDT
It was feared that if the Kurii learned how weak the PKs actually were after the Nest War, that They might try to take over.
aurora{Ulrich}~t 20:40:52 pm CDT
so were they imaginary? real?
aliens in spaceships
were they mentioned a lot in the books?
Laroona 20:40:57 pm CDT
more like vicious animals and to be avoided is my understanding
to have one role play in GS I feel we need to know more first...
Loki 20:41:46 pm CDT
aye aurora, theres a book or two where a Kurii are part of the main characters
Lady Lita 20:42:04 pm CDT
I don't know that trying to rp a Kurii in regularly on-going role-play would work too well, as they'd just want to eat the Goreans, though, again, that is just My opinion.
Dak 20:43:13 pm CDT
Kurii are the Beasts of Gor, all furry and have green blood, and can be I think 7-10feet tall and partly why it bothers Me to hear slaves called beasts
Laroona 20:44:08 pm CDT
RT calls
I wish all well *S*
no need to post goodbys as more work for snowrose *S*
Loki 20:44:09 pm CDT
Lady Lita, its my understanding they werent just some vicious animal, they had superior intellegence, and worked with humans, to their own means of course
Lady Lita 20:44:31 pm CDT
I have heard once or twice of Someone trying to rp a Kurii on on-line Gor, but it was rare, and after a while you didn't hear of them anymore, so I'm guessing it didn't work out.
aurora{Ulrich}~t 20:44:31 pm CDT
and weigh 700- 900 pounds
good lord...beast a slave?
god help the Master ~giggles~
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:44:47 pm CDT
There was one chained in a cabin in the Elinor Brinton story and didn't seem there would be much to roleplay really...just growling and grunting...
Loki 20:45:44 pm CDT
snowrose, i forget which books had them involved, I want to say savages was one.
aurora{Ulrich}~t 20:45:49 pm CDT
aurora understood they ate humans, used them or eliminated them
Loki 20:46:26 pm CDT
aye marsh, lots of games, like...toss the slave~chuckle~
Lady Lita 20:46:28 pm CDT

Dak 20:46:39 pm CDT
There is one whole book, Beasts of Gor, about the Kurri, and they are mentioned and dealt with in several more, I think most of the books have references to them after book 5
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:46:50 pm CDT
yes they are intelligent, but seem to keep their dealings to the Priest Kings, not humans
Lady Lita 20:47:36 pm CDT
That was My impression, aurora. Maybe I will have to do a search paper on Them.
Loki 20:48:23 pm CDT
Ill have to dig out my books and see which ones are kuri involved, there's a couple that Im sure of, and its not all Kurii eating people. Its much more involved than that
marsh{GS} 20:48:39 pm CDT
toss the slave? lol what is that Master Loki?
aurora{Ulrich}~t 20:50:04 pm CDT
ok, this is what Luther says:
Tarl Cabot and others have often faced the Kurii and attempted to thwart their plans. In Marauders of Gor, book #9, the Kurii made a major strike against Gor. They attempted to invade Gor from the northlands and sweep down toward the southern lands. They were defeated after a few major battles. In Tribesmen of Gor, book #10, the Kurii offered an ultimatum to the Priest-Kings. They told them to surrender Gor. The unspoken threat was that would destroy Gor. Tarl Cabot was able to stop a terrible explosive device that would have destroyed the entire planet. In Beasts of Gor, book #12, a Kurii General, Half-Ear, comes to Gor to create a secret base in the frozen north. Tarl helps stop the Kurii and Half-Ear activates a self-destruction mechanism at the base. Half-Ear is presumed killed in the massive explosion. In Savages of Gor and Blood Brothers of Gor, books #17 and #18, it is learned that Half-Ear survived and is hiding in the Barrens. A Kurii Death squad is sent to kill him for being a traitor. Tarl helps save Half-Ear's life. Half-Ear then learns that the death sentence had been lifted and he returns to the Steel Worlds to lead them once again.
Dak 20:50:17 pm CDT
there is on in Book 5 that they feed slaves to,Maurauders , they fightt trhem in and were the reason for Tarl being there Tribesmen has several in it Beast, Book 12 I know is bout Tarl making a trek to like the North Pole to meet one
Lady Lita 20:50:31 pm CDT
There was a game called Meat Toss, where They tossed bits of meat to the slaves, who had to catch them.
Loki 20:50:38 pm CDT
I dont think there was ever a mention of a Kurii in Port Kar though, I think Cabot and the senior captain travel to met with three, I think that was in savages
Lady Lita 20:52:00 pm CDT
Here are some of the games listed for Gor:
ball and bat
A game, akin to Earth's 'keep-away', consisting of two 2-man teams. It is played with a wooden bat and wooden ball. Not for the weak.
Marauders of Gor, page 140
bola
a weapon developed by the Tribes it consists of 3 long straps of leather (5 feet) each terminating in a weighted leather sack. Whirled to great speed above the head it is released high or low depending on it's intent rapidly injuring or entangling it's prey. Also employed as a game where slave girls are ordered to run while the Masters attempt to ensnare them with the bola.

bones

Instead of a Home Stone, the object is to take the Hall.
