8:30PM Slave Meat Toss Contest
–
Run by Zoran
The bosk will be soaked in paga and kalana.
The most creative players, with at least three posts
each.
It will be played out as done in the below quotes from
the books by John Norman:
"Lana, Ute and I knelt in a line, facing the
players. Our hands were bound behind our backs with binding fiber.
The men, wagering, tossed us pieces of meat.
We caught them, in the firelight. A catch was two
points. A piece which was dropped was fair game for any. We fought for the
dropped pieces. The retrieval of such a piece was one point. Ute dropped a
piece and Lana and I fought, each holding to a part of the fallen prize,
rolling and tearing. I struggled back to my knees, tearing my head to one
side. "Mine!" I cried, swallowing the meat, almost choking, laughing.
"Mine!" cried Lana, gorging the other half of the
meat.
"Point for each," adjudicated one of the guards.
We were excited, and wanted to play further."
(CAPTIVE OF GOR-, Page 112)
"I saw a line of five slave girls, kneeling, abreast,
their hands tied behind their back. Bits of meat were thrown to them, one
after the other. A catch scored two points for the master. A missed piece
might be sought by any of the girls, scrambling about, on their bellies. She
who managed to obtain it received one point for her master. The girls were
encouraged from the sidelines, not only by their masters but by the crowd as
well, some of whom placed bets on the outcome."
(MAGICIANS OF GOR-, Page 37)

7:00PM:- Oar Dancing contest
in the training yard
- Run
by Sandman
It is addressed as any athletic activity for men,
similar to a judged spar. In the training yard a mock set of
twelve oars running from a false ship side, complete with rail, running to the ground below at a proper angle. Also a mud pit
added at the bottom.
The men will have five posts to do their best to jump
from oar to oar (which even if not moving would be difficult due
to their narrowness) in an entertaining manner. The men, from
the start must leap from the rail to the oar and not touch ground or
rail till they
are finished.
The winner gets a copy of Book #9 Marauders of Gor
(Used and in fair condition)
"Then the Forkbeard himself drained the remains of
the tankard,
threw it to the foot of the mast, and then, to my
astonishment,
leapt from the ship, onto the moving oars. Then men
sang. The
Forkbeard then, to the delight of those on the bank,
who cheered
him, as the serpent edged into the dock, addressed
himself
delightedly to the oar-dance of the rover of
Torvaldsland. It is not
actually a dance, of course, but it is an athletic
feat of no little
stature requiring a superb eye, fantastic balance and
incredible
coordination. Ivar Forkbeard, crying out, leaped from
moving oar to
moving oar, proceeding from the oars nearest the stem
on the port
side to the stern, then leaping back onto the deck at
the stern
quarter and leaping again on the oars this time on the
starboard
side, and proceeding from the oar nearest the stern to
that nearest
the stem, and then, lifting his arms, he leaped again
into the ship,
almost thrown into it as the oar lifted. He then stood
on the prow,
near me, sweating and grinning. I saw cups of ale, on
the bank,
being lifted to him. Men cheered. I heard the cries of
bond-maids."
(Marauders of Gor, pages 82-83)
The oars won!!!
