HAPPY AHN
Xertog 19:25:55 pm CDT
Thursday night (Wednesday morning down under) was our first Happy Ahn. I think it was a resounding success. But shit hit really the fan, sort of speaking..lol
Any thoughts, feed back on it?
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 19:28:09 pm CDT
I thought the Happy Ahn was great fun, and I enjoyed watching it immensely. Kudos to galah and shadow for coming up with the bosk pie game. There sure were a lot of folks that participated. That was very encouraging.
Xertog 19:29:48 pm CDT
The whole Happy Ahn idea came from galah and shadow too. Both deserve high praise.
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:30:26 pm CDT
happy ahn day was great.. I participated in the bosk dung toss w/galah..
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 19:31:38 pm CDT
*grinning over at Kristian*
If My memory serves Me right, Friend, You were a purdy fair aim with those pies.
galah{GS}fg 19:32:30 pm CDT
gal thought the fun day was the most fun in a long long time!!!! new game each week, always a surprise!!! heheheeeee think no one knew what was going on when dung sacks of dung was passed around hehehehe
galah{GS}fg 19:33:00 pm CDT
Master Kristian was a better thrower than gal was a catcher hehehehehehee
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:33:21 pm CDT
Deirdre.. sort of like a ring toss.,. lol..
galah{GS}fg 19:33:55 pm CDT
had a good turnout, the biggest surprise was that there was more free than slaves...so we need more slaves to participate **giving the evil eye to those girls that didn't come** hehehehehehehee
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:34:49 pm CDT
we were all winners galah..
galah{GS}fg 19:35:15 pm CDT
you need to come next time steph, you know how to catch crap real well heheheheheheee
stephanie 19:36:14 pm CDT
~looks at galah~ well i never ~chuckling~
i'll ask and see if it's alright to come next time
galah{GS}fg 19:36:20 pm CDT
you had your big bosk dinner yet with all the trimmings Master Kristian? heheheheheheeee heheheheheee gal can almost taste it at the mere thought heheheeee must tastier than the bosk dung was hehehehehe
Ulrich 19:38:19 pm CDT
Now if anyone has a solution for the happy ahn RTIs that would be excellent.
All in all, it was a great night.
galah{GS}fg 19:39:27 pm CDT
Master Rollo just sent message saying that he took the wagon with a broad tharlarlion to fetch supplies, but the tharlarlion died heheheheheheee
galah{GS}fg 19:40:29 pm CDT
**guessing that gets the message that he has car problems?** heheheheheee
Xertog 19:41:17 pm CDT
We'll have to send out a tarn to pick him up galah. Lol
galah{GS}fg 19:41:28 pm CDT
oooooooohhh the rti's was rampant that day...heheheheeee but we seemed to manage around them, almost as bad as urts
galah{GS}fg 19:42:10 pm CDT
if he gave a tharlarlion a heart attack, you think a tarn could carry him Slave Master? heheheheheheheeeee
galah{GS}fg 19:43:05 pm CDT
gal been trying to tell him he needed a younger tharlarlion, that one was out of shape and out of time hehehehehehehehe
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 19:43:13 pm CDT
*winking at galah*
'Tis a shame that there is no such a thing as a Gorean Flying Carpet for Him, sweet girl.
galah{GS}fg 19:44:15 pm CDT
heheheheeeeeeeee ooooooooohhh thats a funny pic in gals head, Master Rollo on a magic carpet with his big strong arms folded in front of him and his chunky knees with legs crossed hehehehehee
stephanie 19:44:43 pm CDT
galah you should have given him a piggy back ride to fetch supplies
~chuckling~
galah{GS}fg 19:45:21 pm CDT
egads steph, there would be no galah left, she would be a flat bread or flat bred hehehehehehee
Xertog 19:45:30 pm CDT
Any other topics? Send me a whisper
galah{GS}fg 19:46:31 pm CDT
maybe a quickie outline of our special events Slave Master? just as a reminder so that some can set those special times aside to be here
stephanie 19:46:37 pm CDT
yes but it'd be funny to watch you try galah
lmao
galah{GS}fg 19:47:13 pm CDT
NOT funny steph!!! heheheheee not to me
stephanie 19:48:13 pm CDT
maybe not to you galah but to me it would
~snickers~
Xertog 19:48:38 pm CDT
Tuesday night we played a game of Gorean Jeopardy in the Piazza at 8:00PM GS Time (US Central time)
galah what time is slave class now? I know it is now on Wednesday.
galah{GS}fg 19:48:55 pm CDT
maybe if the Mistress Healer would give gal some kanda leaf, then she could try, it makes her feel like she could do anything hehehehehee
galah{GS}fg 19:49:34 pm CDT
same time as all the other things i think Slave Master, 8PM
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 19:49:47 pm CDT
*laughing with galah*
sweet darlin......you on kanda would be a scary thang......very scary......
galah{GS}fg 19:50:43 pm CDT
heheheheeeee there been no slaves branded for awhile, gal use to have alil taste back then, a pinch for the branded slave, and a pinch for galah hehehehehehehehee
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:51:12 pm CDT
Deirdre.. spraying for urts.. there, that should help..
BRANDING SLAVES?
Xertog 19:54:44 pm CDT
Here is a question sent to me:
When does one get branded?
najla{GS} 19:54:52 pm CDT
~gulps~ no
galah{GS}fg 19:55:24 pm CDT
it use to be in the old times, tavern slaves was branded shortly after they was collared....dunno now days
Ulrich 19:56:23 pm CDT
There hasn't been a branding in here in quite a while.
We may need to have a branding party.
zoya{MDK} 19:56:41 pm CDT
zoya was branded that way, mistress galah
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 19:56:43 pm CDT
I have always been under the impression that the branding was for personal slaves......and not for site slaves. At least, that's all I've ever witnessed in the 10 years I've been in online Gor. Then the branding is up to the Master's discretion.
stephanie 19:56:51 pm CDT
i can't speak for other slaves but i've had to wait as long as a year before to earn a brand from Master and other Masters brand within the first month
Xertog 19:57:02 pm CDT
The short answer is when a girls owner wants to brand her. But I'll address it more in regards to GS slaves.
galah{GS}fg 19:58:13 pm CDT
ooooooooooohhhh nnnooooooooooooo Mistress....a slave use to get a tavern collar, then get whipped for good measure, then was branded and left to recoup for a few days, another one of those things been long forgotten from the old times
galah{GS}fg 19:58:24 pm CDT
it made it more real for a slave
zoya{MDK} 19:59:15 pm CDT
zoya has always thought a brand was a way of marking a slave and would be done as soon as a girl was made a slave, so that she could never escape that she was
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 19:59:26 pm CDT
galah......I remember the whippings for sure......but I didn't the brandings. I have assisted many a personal branding ceremony though. That is pretty interesting.
Laroona 20:00:11 pm CDT
slaves were always branded soon after collaring
the same as when collared they were whipped at least 5 times by a Captain
galah{GS}fg 20:00:25 pm CDT
oooooohh steph, thats another sore point with Master Rollo, for slaves would only have ever been branded once and never again and again
TARNSMAN CAPTAIN EMERITUS 20:00:29 pm CDT
*I think nowadays people are to busy to brand,as like galah said,it used to be as soon as a slave is kolared she is branded straight away but now people don't have the time to do it*
stephanie 20:00:58 pm CDT
zoya that was always what i thought too, but some Master see it more as a gift to be earned to wear their mark
Ulrich 20:01:03 pm CDT
Actually branding of a slave, is more or less a mark to show that she IS a slave.
It's not like the earthen cattle where a personal brand is given to mark ownership.
Laroona 20:01:36 pm CDT
oops adding GS slaves
if sold then up to Owner if he/she desired another brand
the common brands in GS were the dina and or k for Kajira brands
Xertog 20:01:42 pm CDT
If a GS slave hasn't been branded before she should be branded shortly after her collaring if not right afterwards. If it hasn't been done like with najla it is an over sight that needs correcting ASAP.
galah{GS}fg 20:01:43 pm CDT
thats right zoya, the idea was to mark the slave with a permanent mark she could never erase, she would forever be slave...guess another reason for those covering robes the fw wear heheheheee
stephanie 20:02:38 pm CDT
i know galah.. i think at one time i had 3 brands.. a kef brand, a personal brand and the northern brand , all in different locations on my legs
galah{GS}fg 20:03:38 pm CDT
oooooohhhHH, its a good subject then...yet another way to get GS back on track **does alil happy dance** gal so fondly remembers a time when Master Rollo coffled the girls and took them to the blacksmith to have our ears pierced, yet another way to mark a slave as a slave
Laroona 20:04:02 pm CDT
kef thanks steph I knew my mind was thinking a k for kef Lol
galah{GS}fg 20:04:38 pm CDT
a slave would start looking like a patchwork quilt steph heheheheheheheeeee a slave is said to even be more beautiful with a brand, but really...how would it look to be so covered with such scars
stephanie 20:05:00 pm CDT
You're welcome Mistress, my brain does work but only once in awhile..lol
galah{GS}fg 20:05:27 pm CDT
gal wears a kef rt on her right upper thigh, but instead of a brand, its a tattoo, and not by gals choice either, gal was scared to death hehehehehehee am happy now though, it means heaps to me
stephanie 20:05:48 pm CDT
galah i think it'd be pretty ugly, but one can't argue with a Master can just go along
Laroona 20:06:38 pm CDT
I agree one brand is enough
I have seen brands put in very funny places and shudder as once branded it still shows girl is slave...
brands aside a slave should show heart in her serving.. that is the important aspect of slavery IMO
galah{GS}fg 20:06:42 pm CDT
thats right steph, it wasn't by your choice....and thats why these kind of forum discussions are so good, can get these things out so that all know the proper protocol
galah{GS}fg 20:08:35 pm CDT
to be honest...**ducking and cringing alil** the collaring of slaves has become to mundane, nuthin special....it should be something a girl can think back on for years to come and remember each lil detail
Xertog 20:09:10 pm CDT
In the books the girls normally had just the one brand. The kef being the most common. The wagon people had their own brands. A dina is also a common slave brand. I used it on caitlin.
Laroona 20:09:36 pm CDT
discussing it is good, but how many actually read the notes and understand why one brand is considered enough ... even by book standard
unless other brands such as the thief, as an example is put on anyone Free or slave....
stephanie 20:10:16 pm CDT
i'll remember my latest collaring for years.. ~laughing~ popped in ooc to say hi and wam bam was getting a collar snapped about my throat.. will teach me to be nice
lmao
zoya{MDK} 20:10:42 pm CDT
zoya can recall some collarings that took at least an ahn, now a days it's 3 posts and it's over and a girl can barely remember it let alone feel the true impact of being collared. zoya has at least one if not a couple saved and would be willing to post them as example?
galah{GS}fg 20:11:34 pm CDT
oooohh yes, the penalty brands too, but that is not the same as a slave brand...and when discussed at slave class, gal learned that sometimes a slave was branded on her belly, gal didn't remember that from the books, always thought it was the upper thigh
Laroona 20:11:43 pm CDT
zoya that is correct
the collar, the whip ..so girls fear the whip
and brand
that all took time
Xertog 20:12:02 pm CDT
Post the example zoya
Deirdre ~ Physician & Sandman's Woman 20:12:32 pm CDT
I remember how very beautiful some of the collaring ceremonies were......beautiful.....and meaningful. I always enjoyed watching because it never failed to touch My heart.
zoya{MDK} 20:12:44 pm CDT
When an individual captures a girl for his own uses, he does not always mark her, though it is commonly done. On the other hand, the professional slaver, as a business practice, almost always brands his chattels, and it is seldom that an unbranded girl ascends the block.
The brand is to be distinguished from the collar, though both are designation of slavery. The primary significance of the collar is that it identifies the master and his city. The collar of a given girl may be changed countless times, but the brand continues throughout to bespeak her status.
Outlaw of Gor, page 189
stephanie 20:12:49 pm CDT
ohh ouch, would think a brand on the belly would hurt like all get out
galah{GS}fg 20:13:02 pm CDT
oooooooooohh yes zoya, thank you for your great comments....you have hit the nail on the head....perhaps some good examples would be helpful
zoya{MDK} 20:14:07 pm CDT
in here it would take up the entire page, would the boards be alright, Master Xertog?
galah{GS}fg 20:14:28 pm CDT
but if i remember steph, there was a quote that spoke of the branding on the belly...i agree, that would be even more painful
Xertog 20:14:54 pm CDT
The message board will be fine zoya.
zoya{MDK} 20:16:44 pm CDT
yes Master, thank You
stephanie 20:17:23 pm CDT
galah i know sometimes they refer to bondmaids with a northern brand as a woman whose belly lies beneath the sword
Laroona 20:19:03 pm CDT
bondsmaids have a different brand if I recall
but again I believe one brand is enough
even at a collaring do any look to se if a girl has been branded in the past?
Xertog 20:19:17 pm CDT
rti Ulrich can you run the forum?
Ulrich 20:20:13 pm CDT
I'll take it Xertog
TARNSMAN CAPTAIN EMERITUS 20:20:23 pm CDT
*most times I think They ask before They brand Laroona S*
Laroona 20:20:33 pm CDT
Xertog has suggested that once zoya has posted scribes can check the website and put up suggested branding techniques... I think there is something but not sure....
zoya{MDK} 20:20:51 pm CDT
"Left thigh or right thigh?" he asked.
"Left thigh," said Ulafi. Slave girls are commonly branded on the left thigh. Sometimes they are branded on the right thigh, or lower left abdomen.
Explorers of Gor, page 71
Laroona 20:22:59 pm CDT
I just checked Captain Rollo has mentioned in how to collar a girl
but there are no examples on branding.... *S*
so some examples would be great *S*
Laroona 20:23:50 pm CDT
"Next comes branding. If the girl is new, and unbranded, it is necessary to brand her. If you are collaring an established slave, she will already have been branded. Again it is your choice to re-brand the girl, or not (but it is not recommended: one brand is usually enough for a slave). To brand a slave, carry the girl to the branding rack, and lock, chain, tie, strap, whatever you want to say, the girl to the rack to hold her perfectly still so as not to make the brand uneven, or not perfect. Next get a white-hot iron from the fire, and brand her, holding the iron on for 5 seconds (ihns), or a count of five, etc... Then remove the iron, and put it back. The type of brand is your choice again. The most common slave brand is the " Kef " a fancy K, for the first letter in the word, kajira, meaning female slave. But there are many brands, letters, flowers, signs. Make your own, or ask someone again. NOW, again, the girl feels the pain. This is not a game. Imagine for yourself just how bad it would hurt to have a white-hot metal rod stuck on yourself. She will scream or cry out, maybe even pass out. She will then need the care and bandaging of the brand by the other slaves. Let them take care of her. And again, remember for her it is REAL; she will not be in any shape to sit in your lap, serve you drinks, or take to an alcove! Let her rest and be pampered by her sisters. You have forever to use her, a day off won't kill either of you. LOL....LOL...."
galah{GS}fg 20:23:57 pm CDT
thanks for that quote zoya...thats the one
Ulrich 20:24:17 pm CDT
I think I recall Kyoto branding some girls and posting them to the corks, but I'm pretty sure that was the old board and they are long gone.
zoya{MDK} 20:26:09 pm CDT
unfortunately, zoya thinks anything she had on a collaring was on the old pc and not sure she can get to it anymore, but she will keep looking. she's very sorry.
Laroona 20:27:32 pm CDT
zoya no rush LOL
the longer you take the less work for the scribes Lol
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:27:43 pm CDT
shadow has her collaring..
zoya{MDK} 20:27:58 pm CDT
~smiles to Mistress Laroona~ yes Mistress
Ulrich 20:29:05 pm CDT
~looking down to shadow~ you could post it girl.
Ulrich 20:29:58 pm CDT
to the corks that is. I don't think it would fit in here lol
galah{GS}fg 20:30:27 pm CDT
getting collared even if its to a tavern or GS in particular, for a new girl, thats a major event, many would not understand the impact of such a thing as Captains do it so often, but for a new girl, its a life changing pivotal point in her life as a slave
Ulrich 20:32:50 pm CDT
If anyone has any other topics, just whisper them to me as this one winds down
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:35:57 pm CDT
pauses can be good..
at last caught up!
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:38:04 pm CDT
hehe..
but shadow can't see those mistress..
Ulrich 20:38:41 pm CDT
lol Well galah I'm still waiting for a red post for a new topic.
I like your thoughts on collarings. I think the ceremonies and making a big deal out of milestones such as that are part of the draw to Gor for meany
galah{GS}fg 20:38:52 pm CDT
am talking about you, not to you shadow heheheheheeee only kidding sis, wouldn't talk about ya to your back heheheheheheeee
Ulrich 20:39:07 pm CDT
meany = many
I think one of Laroona's typists jumped on my keyboard.
TARNSMAN CAPTAIN EMERITUS 20:39:35 pm CDT
*so did the last slave that got kolared to The GS chain get branded?*
galah{GS}fg 20:39:52 pm CDT
well, gal sent ya a red post Master heheheheheheee heheheee before ya even said that, i must be a mind reader hehehehee
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:39:57 pm CDT

aurora{Ulrich} 20:40:59 pm CDT
ooooooooooo ~ sees steph
and blows her kisses
miss you sweet stuff! *s
Laroona 20:41:09 pm CDT
I know sometimes slaves will submit to a FW in the Piazza to GS....
and they are collared.. given instructions who to approach etc
so would it be possible a captain would do the shipping and branding at some later point in time?
aurora{Ulrich} 20:41:35 pm CDT
and caitlin! *wow* *hugs*
and shushs now quickly *L
Laroona 20:41:48 pm CDT
Captain Ulrich you are welcome to the blighter LOL

hehehehheeee ooooooooooohhh steph....that will make me think twice before i ever smack ya again hehehehehehe
CAPTURE RULES - REVISED
Ulrich 20:45:23 pm CDT
The Capture rules for GS were revised this past hand. Previously it was worded in such a way it was only valid in the market. Now, any capture in any capture zone in GS will be bound by the new rules.
They are posted on the website under short room rules, with links from several locations.
They are as stated here:
Capture Rules in GS
1. Any attempted capture must be post for post; No speed posting allowed. Please state intent to capture upon sighting the captee.
2. In the event of an attempted capture, the free person must post an entry, followed by a declaration of intent, followed by a minimum of three posts in the capture attempt. As stated before, they must be made post for post with the slave.
3. Any free neck slave entering the room must post a minimum of five posts; one entry, three role play posts and a final exit post to allow any who might wish to hunt her have their chance.
4. During the time of said capture attempt, the minimum one minute between requests to leave by slaves will NOT be in effect. But ONLY at this time
5. C&Ps are to be kept by the participants to allow for adjudication by the council if needed. Any slave that uses the urts or an emergency rti too many times to escape capture can be collared by any Captain on sight.
6. Limited protection may be provided by a free person to a free neck, but only if he or she is there the entire time. If not, well, "out of sight, out of mind", she is free to be hunted.
7. In the event that two men have their eyes on the capture of a slave, there are two choices. First, one can back out and concede to the other, or second, the girl is bound and a "kajira canjellne" is declared. The two men fight an adjudicated three to five post, standard GS fight rules, battle with the winner getting possession of the slave.

Thank You for taking over the moderation from Xertog, Captain Ulrich. Thank Yyou also to the scribes.
Ulrich 21:08:16 pm CDT
Thanks Laroona and shadow for scribing.
~shaking my head mumbling~ I always forget the scribes, yet they have the toughest job here.
