For those with former online D/s experience:
Upon Gor, there is no such
thing as a "brat" or "paddle me, daddy" girl. Bratty subs will not be
tolerated, and will suffer strict Gorean punishment for their actions,
up to and including being tied up and fed to the hungry Gorean wildlife
which lurks outside Gorean cities and even some rooms.
A slave is a slave, and a free person is a free person. It is your
choice which to be when you first arrive on Gor, but upon Gor one does
not often switch back and forth. Do so and you will both lose the
respect of your fellow Goreans and wind up being ignored and scoffed at.
Choose your persona and stick with it. While you might think it is cute
to run around pretending to be several different persons, it is not.
Goreans will find out sooner or later and it could lose you a good Master.
When choosing your first slave name (SN), pick a sensible one. There are too many
"dinas" and "kajiras" as it is; don't add to the confusion by
selecting such a common name. Also, SNs such as
"lowlygrl" and "prettygrl" are similarly goofy. If in doubt, use your own
first name with a small first letter. Remember, capital letters are for
free persons.
Often a room will contain few Masters and many slaves, which results
in a lot of slaves who have no one to serve. If this is so, find other
ways to make yourself useful...simulate doing chores, cooking, etc. One
does not join a room, loudly ask if anyone needs service, then quit
when no answer is forthcoming. In addition, one does not just sit
silently in a room awaiting a call to service. Make your presence
known, but do not pester each Master and beg to serve, or stand up and
loudly ask if anyone needs service. This does not constitute pleasing
behavior.
Slaves are allowed, even expected, to have fun in the room. This includes
engaging in pleasant conversation with free persons and other slaves;
still, a wise slave knows when to shut up, and weighs each remark
carefully lest she be found displeasing.
Check profiles to see if the person entering is free. Behave appropriately. If you
are given an instruction which you do not understand or feel is
inappropriate, ask for clarification. If ordered to do something which
you feel to be unlawful, contact a Master or Mistress and beg for aid.
Often you will be approached in a coercive manner by those who wish to
engage in cybersex. If this is to your liking and your owner has no
qualms about it, then do so. If asked to engage in cybersex by one whom
you do not trust, ask a Master or Mistress for aid. Remember this is Cyber,
in a real emergency one can always disconnect. But use this option wisely.
There are dozens of Gorean rooms and all are different. If you cannot
effectively exist in one, seek another which suits you better. Masters
and Mistresses will vary according to their willingness to aid and advise
you. If you need further assistance and it is not forthcoming,
contact your fellow slaves and ask for advice. Often they can steer you
in the right direction.
