There are four levels of Free Persons in the Gorean Shores.
Patron:
Any Free Person who visits or uses the tavern. There is no requirement to be a Patron.
Pledge to Gorean Shores:
A Patron who pledges their steel to
Gorean Shores and declares their loyalty to the tavern, their obedience
to the Council, and their steel to its protection. Any Patron may
pledge their steel at any time, or renounce their pledge. Pledges are
required to make Gorean Shores their Home, but may not speak on behalf
of the tavern with outsiders. The pledge has no authority over tavern
slaves. The Pledge step is the first step to becoming a Captain and will
be under scrutiny by the Captains to evaluate whether their pledge is
indeed serious or not.
Advisor:
A Pledge who receives unanimous vote from the
Council can become an Advisor to the Council. They may attend open
Council sessions and may speak and advise, but may not vote. They may
not speak on behalf of the tavern with outsiders. The Advisor has
limited authority over tavern slaves. The Advisor stage is the final
step before becoming a Captain, and will be under strict scrutiny by the
Captains to evaluate if they demonstrate the factors required to be
Captain.
Captain:
Has full vote and authority over the tavern and its slaves. May speak on behalf of the tavern with outsiders.
Emeritus Captains:
Are past Captains of the Council of Gorean
Shores that for whatever reasons are no longer active members of the
Council. They retain the right to be called Captain and to still have
their table and chair on the dais. They no longer vote or attend
Council meetings.
Commitment to the tavern and knowledge of Gor:
All Advisors
and Captains must be members of Poolside Chat. Further, prospective
Advisors or Captains should be familiar with the tavern, its history,
the history and books of Gor. While there is no test, per se, which must
be taken, prospective should expect to receive informal examination by
the Captains to ensure that their commitment and knowledge is serious.
Time and duration spent in the tavern is a critical factor in making
such a determination
The Council of Captains of Gorean Shores:
The Council of Captains is to be opened to new Captains, with no fixed
number of Captains. New Captains will receive equal voice and vote in
the administration of the tavern, and will have all privileges and
rights accorded to current Captains.
Attainment of the status of Captains requires a thorough knowledge of Gor and the tavern, a demonstrated commitment to GS in time and energy, and loyalty to the Council and GS above all other obligations or allegiances. Further, the process of attaining the rank of Captain will be slow and deliberate, and requires unanimous approval of all current Captains.
There is a three step process to becoming Captain, and each prospective member should obtain a current Captain as a Sponsor and Mentor. First, a prospective member must have officially pledged his sword to GS and declared it to be his home. Any individual may do this. Second, upon unanimous vote by the Council, the prospective member will become an Advisor to the Council, and may attend open Council sessions(usual sessions are open meetings for Advisors and Captains), and offer counsel and advice, but will have no vote. Upon unanimous vote, an Advisor will become a full Captain.
