7) One who does not wear the Courage scar cannot pay court to a free woman, own a wagon, or own more than three bosk and five kaiila.

9) After you have earned a scar make no action that one bearing the Scar would not make. And hold your head proud for you are Tuchuk.

~_-_~ Laws on Slaves ~_-_~


1) Slaves are not required to ask permission to enter camps, but must request permission from a Free Person to leave. If the request is not granted in a reasonable amount of time, then repeat the request, as it might have been missed. If a second request is not answered, then politely take your leave.
2) All Free Persons and Tribe Friendly are to be greeted upon entering, except when a slave is serving, then they are to be greeted once their serve is complete. The Free are to be addressed simply as Master or Mistress, the only time a slave may use a Masters name is when the Masters have given them permission to do so or in action or thought to specify one from the other.
3) Speaking to the Free in camp is not forbidden, and many fun things can be shared, as is appropriate. Free floating thoughts will be considered as speech...if they are rude or insolent expect to be corrected quickly with a hand across your face. If you have something that is not nice to say.....whisper to the person...and choose your words and thoughts carefully....and remember, Its not a slaves place to challenge the free.
4) Slaves do not speak in the first person. Tribe slaves also do not speak OOC in public rooms. Use of brackets " ((.....)) of any type is forbidden. If you must say something OOC do it in whispers, and ask permission to whisper in the room. Slaves should expect to be cuffed should they do either. Remember, a backhand across the face is not punishment, it is a correction. Even if your punishments are reserved, corrections are for all.
5) All Tuchuk Slaves will speak 3rd person in public ... what you do in PR with your owner is their rules. 6) Master's or Mistresses should be treated with equal respect from a slave. NO slave should "ignore" a request from either sex..... just because you are a Kajira, does not mean you should entice just the Master's...... same for kajriu, except, reversed.
7) Do not correct another slaves actions in public....but whisper to them in polite terms.
8) Unruly, disruptive or insolent slaves may be asked to leave camp until their Owner is present to deal with them. The Ubar, Ubara, and Guardian have the right to kill any unruly or disruptive slaves, punishment reserved or not.
9) Slaves do not handle money or weapons. Coins can be placed in a girls mouth or in a sack around her neck. Punishment for such things is up to and including death...there are instances where a Free Person may be lenient and simply whip the slave, who should accept it as a slave should.
10) White silk girls do not press drinking vessels to their "passions," nor do they nadu for any besides their Master/Mistress. All slaves will not nadu with another Free Person sitting next to their owner that is of the opposite sex, they shall tower.
11) A white silk slave means the slave has yet to be opened for pleasures and is untrained. Once the slave is trained and opened, they are red silk. Do not rush to become red silk, for if you are not 100% pleasing in any situation..... serving ... speaking.....manners and sexual..... you may be killed. There is no such thing as a "reserved" slave..... you may be a "preferred" slave to your owner, but even listing such does not "save" you from being used by others..... if you do not want to be used by others, you should remain white silk. Red silk is a passion slave and for one to be "reserved" is death upon their heart..... and torment to the soul.
12) Macros or Power Tools are a lazy way of serving....they are forbidden to be used. There will be swift repercussions for laziness. If a girl is not serving she is to be working.....or begging to serve. An idle slave is in no way pleasing.
13) A Master/Mistress of the tribe does not need to roll to maim correct whip or even kill a slave unless they want to add affect.
14) "Running away" is not only Impossible but also punishable by death should you make it past the hundreds of herd sleen, gnawing at your flesh.
15) Slaves will accept punishments as graciously as they accept praise...if you have to be drug kicking and screaming to the post, then expect more lashes.
16) Tribe slaves are sisters in chains to try to shirk your work onto another shall bring punishment unless a Master/Mistress gives it the OK.
17) Slave's engaging in "horseplay" or any other type of "attention getting" ways...(other than the seductive allure towards a Free person)).... will be punished..... growling, glaring, snarling, jealousy or any form of "visual or verbal back talk" will be corrected.
18) No slave will engage in conversation unless given permission...... the "putting in of a slave's 2 copper" will not be tolerated..... if you open your mouth, other than to Greet or Well wishing.....expect a hand across the face..... whip across your back or gag in your mouth.
19) If trouble arises in the camp, or any other non "safe zone"
I.E.: a Kur enters or an assassin...... slave will immediately leave the room and go to a PR, WITHOUT drawing attention for capture....... slaves will NOT engage in rock throwing or any other form of attack...... to strike or hit a Free Person is punishable by death.
20) When serving beverages....... slaves will ask the Master/Mistress if they wish the drink "tested" (for poison)..... if allowed to test..... the slave WILL NOT put their lips on the vessel, but pour a slight amount into their palm and drink from it. A slaves lips are never to touch the vessel, except for their owners, if they choose.
21) Slaves will never EVER argue with the Free......If a Master/Mistress says the sky is Green and the Grass is Blue........ then so be it...... whining, pouting or sighing is the sign of a bored slave..... and that is not allowed....... keep busy with camp chores and be pleasing..... remember not only does your actions reflect on your owner...but your Ubar, Ubara and Tribe.
22) Free persons are not always right, but by definition they are never wrong...if you really think about it.......a slave always has the last word...that is....Yes Master/Mistress.

3) OOC and IC crossover is forbidden even on the Plains of Gor.
4) Death is not a resting place in your life. When you have died you are dead gone you cannot come back to the Tribe no matter how good a Story Line you think up. You can make anew screen name and try to get into the tribe once more but the one that died shall always remain dead.

6) If there is something that one does not understand they can simply ask one of the Chain of Command and if they need to know they will be informed.
7) Being a Tuchuk means being of the plains. Not a Man of the city that calls the plains his home and is always in one city or another unless he has business of the Tribe to deal with in those cities. Tuchuk is more of a state of mind one of the Cities might be Tuchuk to be within the Tribe and receive scrolls he must be with the Tribe upon the plains.

9) Wagers are Wagers. If you lose a wager you must still give what you lost. You cannot claim that the wager was not good because "whine whine whine" we are Tuchuks not City Dwellers we uphold our ends of bargains or wagers….if not always the way the expect.
10) The challenges of the Living Lance and that of facing the Lance are two challenges that cannot be turned down. Even if not Tuchuk and within our camp they must act as a Tuchuk would on these Matters and compete with either thing or lose and the one who challenged Claims victory.
