Rollo the Ax 19:39:57 pm CST
Brother Kyoto....... are you going to run todays forum, or do you want me to get things started ??
Rollo the Ax 19:40:34 pm CST
At least until another Captain shows up to take over...
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:43:52 pm CST
Apologies, Rollo, was distracted by rt for a moment. Please send any topics our way, folks.
galah{RA} 19:44:18 pm CST
gal has a kef tattooed on her thigh, it didn't hurt to much
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 19:45:10 pm CST
hmm but you are more of a stoic than flicka, galah. flicka is a pain wimp.
Rollo the Ax 19:45:11 pm CST
Looking to flicka and hearing her and marieve speak of tattooing ...... LOL...LOL... tattooing does not hurt.... unless in a VERY * soft or intimate * area...... LOL.. it is sort of relaxing......
marieve {GS}~t 19:45:28 pm CST
Greetings Master Dak, she wishes You well ~smile~
flicka, marieve will take your word on that, since she doesn't have a tattoo ~grin~
galah{RA} 19:45:42 pm CST
galah is sure it hurt a lot less than branding would hehehehehe
Lita, Physician 19:46:47 pm CST
Alas, I don't have a topic this week. The site where I usually get mine had one on Free Companionships, and since Port Kar doesn't have them, I figured that would be a waste of time.
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:47:18 pm CST
Ok, our first topic is more of a review.
"...would like to discuss the rules on whispering in Forum and Book Club."
Rollo the Ax 19:47:20 pm CST
LOL... Rollo has enough ink on him to cover some small people..... LOL...
marieve {GS}~t 19:47:38 pm CST
marieve has been tempted Master Rollo but then there are so many images to choose from and where would one put it?
galah{RA} 19:48:05 pm CST
well galah didn't do it by choice flicka heheheheee **she rolls her dark eyes up to her Master**
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 19:48:30 pm CST
~vivid blue eyes turn toward Master Rollo, flicka sucks in her breath, causing her bountiful breasts to swell becomingly~
Aye Master Rollo spoken like a true Master, one of Those Who can look at a broken arm and say brush it off. Tattooing relaxing? flicka nearly bit through her rubber thingy when the Man was going her tattoos. He complained that she had saturated His pillow with her tears. And no it was not on an intimate area. ~low chuckle~
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:48:49 pm CST
Are you sure you don't have some small people hiding on you, brother?
~Looks at that beard of yours~
Rollo the Ax 19:49:03 pm CST
As far as I remember the rules or at least the guide lines..... once either the forum or book club.... ( or any gathering for that matter.. ) cross talk and small talk SHOULD be kept in whispers....
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:50:45 pm CST
As far as I remember, that is correct, Rollo. As to the whispers themselves, what people say to one another in private ain't my business.
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 19:50:55 pm CST
~laughs` at galah~ neither did flicka galah. When she had it done her father was most disgusted, said " well The Police will certainly be able to identify you now."
A girl replied, just cause a girl has a tat, doesnt mean she is going to go out and rob a bank.
Oppps. all of the above is OOC. sorry.
Rollo the Ax 19:50:58 pm CST
flicka..... my ink artist loves it when I get work done because I often fall asleep while he works ..... LOL.. newbies walk in and ask if it hurts.... and he points to me snoring away....... LOL...LOL..
ruby~{Randolph} 19:51:13 pm CST
Mistress Lita
girl knows in the books FC are not recognized in Port Kar
however Master Portus and Mistress Sophie, are Pledged Free to GS..and Free Companions for years
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 19:51:40 pm CST
Sorry Master Rollo, flicka got all excited about tattoos.
Bretval: Scribe~Warrior~Merchant 19:52:09 pm CST
Simple rules for experienced people .... newcomers are another question
marieve {GS}~t 19:52:34 pm CST
After Forum or Book club start slaves are only allowed to greet in whisper. Keeping casual conversations to whispers also helps the scribe with un-nessary editing and the Leader to stay on topic.
Lita, Physician 19:52:50 pm CST
yes, ruby.
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:53:53 pm CST
Ok, folks, since the forum is underway, let's take that first topic and put it to good use. All cross talk should be limited to whispers please.
And Lita, even though Free Companionship isn't recognized in Port Kar, it is a valid topic as it is done throughout most of the rest of Gor.
Rollo the Ax 19:55:05 pm CST
there will always be the dropped whisper and such, but as long as MOST ppl keep the small talk in whispers, it keeps the room better suited to keep a flow of talking ........
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:55:15 pm CST
So I offer this, does the lack of recognition in Port Kar lessen the impact of the relationship between two free people?
marieve {GS}~t 19:55:45 pm CST
Master Kyoto, marieve didn't know that Free Companionship wasn't recognized in Port Kar. First Captain Sandman has a Free Companion.
leatha {GS} 19:57:15 pm CST
moves in quietly and kneels to listen
marieve {GS}~t 19:57:59 pm CST
Excuse her. She meant that Captain Sandman had a Free Companion
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 19:58:46 pm CST
"Port Kar does not recognize the Free Companionship, but there are free women in the city, who are known simply as the women of their men." Raiders of Gor, Page 295
ruby~{Randolph} 19:58:48 pm CST
Master Kyoto
ruby would hazard a guess...that the answer would be no
Rollo the Ax 19:58:49 pm CST
It has always been a matter for a little latitude .... I mean we have had those that had FCs come to GS.... as long as the FC was done someplace else, they more or less get a * look the other way * card...... until push comes to shove .
Lita, Physician 19:59:38 pm CST
marieve is She HIs Free Companion, or His claimed woman?
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:00:10 pm CST
marieve, flicka thinks that Master Sandman does not refer to Mistress Diedre as His Free Companion, flicka thought He referred to her as His Woman.
galah{RA} 20:00:45 pm CST
well certainly the Men of Port Kar had relationships with FW, so as galah can see it, a free companionship is like a marriage contract, whereas, in Port Kar, it would be more like a de facto relationship? those in defacto relationships think of themselves as being married just as much as a married person
ruby~{Randolph} 20:00:46 pm CST
ruby was honored four pahns ago to serve and proffer the wine of companionship..for Master Portus and Mistress Sophie
marieve {GS}~t 20:00:51 pm CST
The First Captain called her His Free Companion, Mistress
Rollo the Ax 20:02:00 pm CST
Brother Kyoto..... an FC here or on Gor means only as much as the person doing it gives it..... I mean like a marriage licence ... does some slip of paper make the union of a man and woman MORE than a union without one ??? I think NOT !!!!!
marieve {GS}~t 20:02:41 pm CST
Aye, ruby. Mistress Sophie honoured a girl by assisting her with a lesson that need to be completed in order for her to test for her red silks
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:04:58 pm CST
Ok, so what rights does a woman have in the free companionship and why would she wish one?
leatha {GS} 20:05:26 pm CST
leatha is confused. if this Mistress Sophie is a Free Woman, why would she test for red silks, or did leatha read marieve wrong. leatha sometimes does that.
her cheek grow red.
Lita, Physician 20:06:05 pm CST
Thing is, Rollo, on earth, and possibly on Gor as well, that "slip of paper" confers certain legal rights and responsibilities that do not necessarily hold true with a less "formal" union. Which is one reason there is such a fight currently for Gay marriages.
ruby~{Randolph} 20:07:02 pm CST
bursts out laughing, with thought of Mistress Sophie in collar..has hell frozen over?
leatha {GS} 20:07:03 pm CST
royally confused. But she is about every aspect of a Free Woman. girl doesn't get the meaning of them. no disrespect to any, it is only girl who doesn't get it.
marieve {GS}~t 20:07:24 pm CST
leatha, marieve was the one doing the exercise
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:08:28 pm CST
In truth, leatha, according to the books, slaves only make up roughly 3-5% of the population on Gor. Free women vastly outnumber them there.
leatha {GS} 20:09:42 pm CST
leatha gets that now, thanks for clearing that up marieve.
Master Kyoto, girl didn't know the ratio, but knew there were many Free Women in the books.
ruby~{Randolph} 20:09:47 pm CST
Master Kyoto
exception being the City of Tharna..if girl remembers correctly
marieve {GS}~t 20:09:53 pm CST
~shoulders shaking with silent laughter~
That is so true, gemstone
Rollo the Ax 20:10:02 pm CST
In many places * defacto * relations after a certain amount of time are almost as binding in those ways of marriage ..... And I choose to NOT comment on the concept of * Gay * marriage .....
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 20:10:24 pm CST
walking in rubbing a tharlarion sore butt and wiping the rain from my hair
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 20:13:00 pm CST
after reading down.. Deirdre was my woman,, there are no FC in Port Kar,, if I had been elsewhere she would have been my FC
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:13:57 pm CST
~smiling at Master Sandman~ ah Master, flicka thought that that was the case with You and Mistress Deirdre.
Greetings Master. ~warm hug~
ruby~{Randolph} 20:14:32 pm CST
gasps Master Portus and Mistress Sophie reside together in sin...thinks They would like that status
marieve {GS}~t 20:15:58 pm CST
~smiling~ Thank You, Master Sandman for setting things straight. ~smiling~
Rollo the Ax 20:16:42 pm CST
LOL...LOL... define * SIN * ruby ??????? LOL...
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:18:04 pm CST
Let me ask this, since the majority of the women are slaves here. In the event your Master takes a woman as his companion, or simply to be "his woman", does that make your place in his life more tenuous?
ruby~{Randolph} 20:18:14 pm CST
Master Rollo girl humbly begs not to answer that, for fear of being whipped and caged
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 20:19:19 pm CST
you are very welcome pretty marieve
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:21:07 pm CST
~low laugh~ ruby, come now, the easy answer to that is " Whatever a girl's Master considers to be a sin, is a sin, anything else is not.
For flicka it is what she loves her slavery so very very much, Jarl Keeper has to be the arbiter of all those moral, ethical thingies. This girl can just "lie back" and enjoy the ride.
Rollo the Ax 20:22:51 pm CST
LOL...LOL.... do not fear, ruby..... I simply meant that one mans sin is another mans pleasure....... LOL... often the two sides of the same coin..... LOL...
leatha {GS} 20:22:51 pm CST
That is quite a thought Master Rollo. but girl is slave, so her first answer without really thinking would be to serve them both, if the Free Woman would of course be ok with that. she is slave. she does what she is told and serves even in hard situations for girl.
marieve {GS}~t 20:23:01 pm CST
Master Kyoto, a kajira wants to be found pleasing by their Master and Free Women Who frequent the site, so no it would not make our place more tenuous then usual ~grin~
ruby~{Randolph} 20:23:31 pm CST
flicka
Master Rollo was refering to the comment re: Master Portus and Mistress Sophie
not my Jarl and ruby..the your assessment would be a truism
ruby~{Randolph} 20:24:25 pm CST
indeed Master Rollo..no truer words spoken
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:28:27 pm CST
Well, it looks like this topic isn't the most relevant for GS, so does anyone have another they would like to bring up?
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:29:13 pm CST
Master Kyoto, flicka is finding it difficult to answer the question.
Rollo the Ax 20:29:39 pm CST
How a master might treat his FC one way and his kajira another is a point of personal action..... do FC resend kajira more than kajira do FC ??? they might, but then they have no say in the matter...... while an FC could voice her opinions or feelings..... IF the man lets it effect HIS actions then he can only accept his limited mastery....
ruby~{Randolph} 20:30:47 pm CST
ut oh ut oh
has ruby gotten herself into a pickle?..peeking around
marieve {GS}~t 20:34:28 pm CST
She agrees Master Rollo. kajira would never show her resentment towards a FC.
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure~GS~fg 20:34:37 pm CST
~enters quietly~
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:36:11 pm CST
Ok, folks, one more thing. It was brought to my attention that the forum always gets started late because of people coming in late and greetings going on publicly. So we'd like to get this back on track and start on time. Any greetings or cross talk after the official start time must go into pm's. This will help us get moving quicker and end on time so people do not need to leave and miss the full forum.
ruby~{Randolph} 20:37:01 pm CST
yes Master Kyoto
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:37:39 pm CST
~nodding~ Master Kyoto, that sounds like a plan to move forward with. ~chuckling as she uses teacher/bureaucrat speech~
Rollo the Ax 20:37:59 pm CST
LOL...LOL... kajira are still women, marieve..... they would show it...but in subdued ways and with care.... LOL... not openly like a FW could do.....
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:39:03 pm CST
Master Rollo, would scratching the Free Woman's eyes out constitute "subdued and with care"?
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:40:21 pm CST
Ok, folks, if there is no other topic...?
Going once...
Rollo the Ax 20:40:26 pm CST
Here, here, brother...... a great rule ......
marieve {GS}~t 20:41:14 pm CST
Aye Master Rollo. Fortunately they have their chain and slave sisters to express their emotions with privately. Much time is spent in slave class dealing with feelings of jealousy and resentment.
Rollo the Ax 20:41:19 pm CST
LOL...LOL... in the North or here in the Southern cities... ?? LOL...
Bretval: Scribe~Warrior~Merchant 20:41:44 pm CST
would be useful in Book club as well... I have been using 8:45 as the actual start time...
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:42:01 pm CST
Going twice...?
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:42:50 pm CST
Oh in Torvaldsland assuredly Master Rollo.
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure~GS~fg 20:43:36 pm CST
snowrose can't say that she has seen much time spent on jealousy and resentment.
Rollo the Ax 20:45:12 pm CST
Book club has its own topic..... with the Forums somebody is going to have to be willing to pull a topic out of their ...... ear .... to get things going.......
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:44:42 pm CST
mistress snowrose, flicka agrees with you, in fact flicka cannot remember an instance when time was spent dealing with jealousy and resentment, in slave class.
leatha {GS} 20:46:15 pm CST
leatha doesn't have a lot of experience in a chain of sisters, but she isn't the jealous type. girl hopes other will not be jealous of resentful of leatha in time. leatha has only felt kindness from her new sisterhood.
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:46:29 pm CST
Perhaps we should have people submit topics beforehand for the forum. I seem to remember we did that at one time. Or is my mind going again?
Lita, Physician 20:46:41 pm CST
I usually have one, Rollo, except for occasionally.
Lita, Physician 20:47:34 pm CST
Where or to Whom should we submit the topics?
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:49:33 pm CST
I'll set up an email address and post it to the boards. I'll also send the password to my fellow captains.
Rollo the Ax 20:49:51 pm CST
Forgive me for speaking my mind like this, but with as many women as there are in on-line Gor..... free and slave.... jealousy and resentment even if hidden..... would be here as much as air and water....... nature of the beast..... lovely beasts, but basic actions just the same......
ruby~{Randolph} 20:50:09 pm CST
it was once proposed that topics be prearranged so Euro Members, could participate
leatha {GS} 20:50:12 pm CST
leatha thinks that is a good idea, Master Kyoto. How shall we send topics?
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 20:50:29 pm CST
I think our Advisor has suggested an idea like this in the past,, there are postings on the corks.. but Brother an excellent idea,, setting up an email addy and posting on the corks
maddie~anne{T§}, blue silk slut of Tanthio§ 20:51:17 pm CST
~slipping in quietly, she slinks to the nearest slave mat and kneels quietly before sweeping aqua eyes and a smile offers her greetings to Aall present~
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:52:21 pm CST
~Nodding to Sandman~
I'll get that done after the forum, and send an email to all tonight with access information, so whomever is leading can get in and check it.
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 20:54:05 pm CST
This could be a pertinent time to bring up a discussion flicka has been having with Master Sandman, to the effect of posting the Forum notes, not just on the web page but also on the cork boards.
This is something that flicka thinks would be a good thing because it would give members, such as The European Contingent and our most Wonderful Advisor, Jarl Keeper an opportunity to participate in Forum even if they are unable to attend.
Lita, Physician 20:54:28 pm CST
Alas, I am going to have to go. We are getting a good bit of snow here tonight Maybe up to 5 inches. So I need to prepare some things for tomorrow.
Lita, Physician 20:55:22 pm CST
I wish All here well, enough, and great joy.
Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 20:55:28 pm CST
It sounds like a good plan, flicka.

ruby~{Randolph} 20:58:10 pm CST
aye flicka and others could help further with the scribing..an insightful suggestion..imho
flicka~ slave of Jarl Keeper. 21:00:29 pm CST
ruby, you already help heaps, especially when flicka fouls up and has to come cap in hand begging your back up notes.
and maddie-anne, ~smiling at the lady in mauve~ maddie has been a god send in helping to edit, when flicka was over whelmed.
ruby~{Randolph} 21:01:51 pm CST

Kyoto_ Captain*First Sword 21:03:32 pm CST
Ok, I'm going to call the forum to a close, of course, if any wish to continue chatting about topics, feel free.
As for me, I need a drink, so going to head to the tavern.
