News

Without chat-logs just a summary of other news:

- Kenshi and Franziskus sailed to the mainland in search of a bosk-cow. The closest haven is Port of Schendi, the gate to the jungle of Gor. They met Misha, an old friend and now first boy of Schendi, who showed them his Master's bosk-cow and to look at the bosk's branding in order to find out the merchant, which is Sa'ng Fori. So Kenshi went on the long journey to Sa'ng Fori to buy one. For some extra coins they delivered the bosk in the next days. Now they will have to see, if the boys are able to milk that cow. Misha said, if they can milk their Master, they will also be able to milk the bosk. Wolf being  told this, he answered he would prefer to milk his Master. And Franziskus is not sure, if the boy deserves a punishment for this answer or not...

- Wolf was brought by his Master to the healer to have his old branding removed. But the healer refused more or less, saying it would have never been heard of removing a slave-branding. Well, if your cattle wears the branding of another owner, wouldn't you want it to wear your own? But as they were just guests in Schendi, Franzi didn't want to bother the green any further. Shots were not necessary, the physician said after a quick exam of the boy's blood. The lil devil was examed after that and his Master is very happy, that the boy is strong and healthy.

- Well, at least he was healthy that day. But it rained a lot on the Isle of Tidra these days and the island is submerged. A lot of animals died in the floods and deseases are spreading from the cadavers all over. Kenshi and Wolf are already ill, and Franzi sent the other boys to the mainland for their own safety,  while he stays on the island to care for his beloved ones.

One wrong click...

... and the work of weeks was gone! It took me weeks of terraforming, working on sqm after sqm to get the landscape of the Isle of Tidra as nice as it was at the end. And today... just a moment of being inattentive and I accidently flattened the whole SIM instead of just a few squaremeters. I'm devastated! There was still so much to do anyways and my mind was full of all those things still left to do, and now THIS!

However, although I'm almost at the end of energy, I'll roll up my sleeves and start all over again...

Too bad that exactly 5 minutes after the disaster happened, some of my most favorite thieves arrived on the island.

So, RP stopped for a while... some days, weeks, months, YEARS!? I don't know... And it was so much fun. Grrr.....

The transformation

What happened after making friendship with more tribesmen was very, very ungorean. The hardcore-Goreans will call it perversion of Gor. - But, oh well... let them their boring and stiff RP, while we have FUN. And yes, we had fun, trying to play the first transformation:

Franzi showed his boy Wolf his secret: As origin from earth he showed him his secret powers... the ability to transform like the tribe does. Suddenly he understands their language, the language of the anchestors. And explaining to his boy that it is in his blood also, Wolf transformed the first time into his exotic neko-form. A very scaring and exiting experience for the boy....

Meeting Juz and Chaz

Another (successful!) try to make friends with the savage boys. - After the head-slaver of Red Rocks had left, Mick and his Master went on search for the savage boy Xaxat... and found him. And they also found his brothers Juz and Chaz.

Juz surprisingly looked exotic... And here it became slowly un-Gorean, but much fun.

Poor Juz has been captured and abused by pirates, but he could escape. At the end they all became friends in the language the tribe seems to understand without words....

Visit of the Head-Slaver

These days we had a visit of the Head-Slaver of the rebuilt Oasis of Red Rock, on the hunt for new boys. We hope he won't come and try to capture some boys of the wild tribe. We were friendly, but of course cautious. Though he's a friend, it seemed he fought the urge, to take the boy Wolf together with his Master right with him.

boy meets boy

One day after his Masters and his brother had captured some savages from the tribe, Teso, known as Fox, was left alone on the island. He was exhausted from the hard days work, caring for the plantattion, picking beans for the black wine, roasting them and grind them to powder, cleaning the cave, keeping the fire burning...

As he finally finished all his chores, he was tired, but couldn't sleep. Worrying about the fate of his Master and his brother Wolf. So he decided to go to the beach in the north-east corner of the isle and collect some shells to make a silk out of it like his brother had made one with bones.

But he met one of the savage boys. Carefully they came closer and though they didn't understand each other, they became kind of friends. That's how Fox met Xaxat....

*************

Second capture

After their first contact with the savages, Franzi and Wolf took a nap.  Franzi woke up after a  while, his boy still sleeping. As he left the safety of the Kennel, he had to recognize, that their captive Xaxat could escape.

But soon he saw another savage boy and captured him with his companion Kenshi. After binding him to a post and interrogating him about the tribe, and after a short... uhm... demonstration of their power... they relieved him to go back to his tribe, telling them, that the Goreans who occupied their cave, don't mean any harm and want to be friend to the tribe and live together in peace. Also to protect them from Gorean slavers visiting the island from time to time - as they got to know that now - and help them to learn how to protect themselves.

Kenshi and Franzi watching the boy running away into the jungle, not sure, if the shy tribe will accept their offer. Finally they return into the safety of the kennel to get ready for the night...

***************

First Contact

Tal!

I'm Franziskus, former Magistrate of Silver Tree, Free Companion to Kenshiro Pevensey, Master to Mick called "Wolf", Tesa and Brian, and to my companions boy Teso, called "Fox". After leaving the Silver Tree of Tabor we found shelter on a lost island. At least we thought it was lost, but we soon discovered signs of human beings.... a cave, a plantation... Soon we also saw them hiding behind bushes and rocks: Strange savages... a tribe... But they avoided any contact and disappeared, when we stepped closer.

Finally me and my boy Wolf managed to capture one, though the communication was a bit difficult. We hope, others of this tribe speak our language.As far as we found out, his name is Xaxat. He only new two words of our language and these were "Fuck you". He was like a wild animal, scratching, spitting and biting, and smooth and gentle at the same time. We had to tame him a bit and hoped after a night in a cage he would be more cooperative and we could befriend the tribe, but his tribesbrothers must have freed him, while we were sleeping in the safety of the kennel we had built witin the cave.

He also must have stolen Wolf's rock-pouch over night as I stood up to travel to the maninland  and left the door open...

*************

How it all began

Greetings!

My name is Testimo, but my Master calls me "Fox". I'm the chain-brother to Mick - called "Wolf" -, Tesa and Brian. My Master is Kenshiro Pevensey, former Head-Slaver of Silver Tree; Free Companion to my twin Franziskus, who followed me from Earth to Gor to protect me and get me back to Earth, but he fell in love with my Master and so he stayed here on this planet.


It was me who discovered the island a while ago, in a sleepless night, when silly me (yes, guess why my Master calls me after an animal known for it's cleverness...) took a boat and rowed to the open Thassa-sea, to become tired. As usual I lost my orientation and after hours I shored at that beautiful island. I didn't tell anybody about my adventure, but my Master followed me that night...

Some weeks ago my Masters got in an arguement with the Lord of Silver Tree. I don't know what happened, I just know, that they took all their possessions and woke me up in the middle of the night to leave Silver Tree. In the search of a new home I told them about the island and so we found a new home.

First we thought, the island is empty. My Masters claimed it as theirs and called it Isle of Tidra. The jungle here is as beautiful as dangerous. But I miss the comfort of the civilized word, and without a homestone and caste my Masters seem to be outlaws now.

Well, and that's how our adventure began...

The rules (version 2.0)

Welcome to the Isle of Tidra!

=====================

The ISLE OF TIDRA is placed in the middle of the Thassa ocean, near the equator, with rainforest vegetation and clima. It is so small and unimportant, that the Priest Kings forgot about it and don't influence the evolution. Some mystical things will happen here which are impossible in other Gorean territories..

Though there don't exist city-laws, here are some rules:

1.0 READ THE RULES!!!!

This island is a gay Gorean roleplay (RP) sim. If you do not agree to RP one of those matters, please leave. By entering the island you acknoledge, that you read and agree to the rules on this sim. Ignorance is not an excuse. If you break the rules you are liable to punishment including ejection or banning: Smaller violations lead to 1 day ban. Bigger or repeated violations to one week or permanent ban.

2.0 GOR

2.1 The Isle of Tidra is a Gorean SIM. Therefore the neweset version of the GM is required. You find it on the docks.

2.2 Observer:

* When you are not Gorean or just for an OOC visit, wear the Observer-tag.

* Do not involve in running RP.

* You're not allowed to pick doors. If you do so, you will be seen as griefer and therefore ejected and banned.

3.0 ADULT SIM

This is an adult sim, and as such, you may encounter nudity, sexual acts, violence, rape, death or language such as is not suitable for minors. You must be over age 18 to RP in this sim.

* HOMOPHOBIA IS NOT TOLERATED

* GRIEFING IS NOT TOLERATED

* NO CHILD- or UNDERAGE-AVs

Violation of these 3 rules will lead to immediate and permanent ban and report to Linden

4.0 NON-HUMAN AVs ARE ALLOWED (!!!)

The inhabitants of the Isle of Tidra are a wild, savage tribe. Their true nature is not surpressed by the influence of the PKs. So they could survive as nekos, furries, satyrs, centaurs and other forms as well as humans or some as animals. If you have a problem with that, you better not involve in RP with us. However you are free to visit us OOC or as observer. Fully animal-AVs have to behave as such (don't talk!).

* Transformation into and from non-human forms requires 5 minutes and 5 lines of RP (no transformation in combat)

5.0 SAFE ZONE (SZ)

There are no Safe Zones on the island. Only 10 minutes on the docks for rezzing and reading the rules. The non-existance of SZ doesn't mean that you have to fight all the time. Though a savage tribe we prefer a good RP more then senseless combat

6.0 BEHAVIOUR & APPEARANCE

6.1 The Language is English

If you don't speak Engish fluently, use a translator.

Griefing behaviour justified with non-understanding the rules is not tolerated.

6.2 Tag-reading & RP-limits

Tags and profiles are OOC-information and not to be used in RP. However, RP-limits are to be respected as far as they are reasonable. In doubt, the moderators will decide.

6.3 Chat and IMs

Any and all open chat or IMs affecting the RP may be recorded, copied, notecarded or transmitted to anyone.

6.4 Appearance

Your appearance and clothes should fit the Gorean theme, even if you only come to visit. So, no modern clothes, no particle-effects, no blinking attachments etc.

You don't have to be "Gorean", if you just want to look around and enjoy the beauty of the island, but please show respect to the spirit of the theme.

6.5 Misc

* Flying is not allowed (exception: Flying animals)

* Swimmer is required (SLwim)

* No use of "magical powers"

7.0 WEAPONS

7.1 We're not gonna bore you with a list of weapons which are allowed. Weapons must be enabled for GM and for "Gorean Style". That means: No modern weapons, no scripted shields etc.

If you are new to Gor, you will find some simple but effective weapons in some places on the island. Have fun searching for them.

7.2 For slaves

As we are a savage tribe, slavery is unknown to the tribe. Therefore slaves are allowed to wear whatever Gorean weapon they want and can find as long as their Masters agree with it.

8.0 COMBAT-RULES

* No Huds and AO's that expand your normal capacities of running, jumping etc.

* Aiding: 3 lines

* Binding: 3 lines

* self-unbinding: 5 lines + 10 minutes RP

* special arrows such as fire, grapple, rope etc.: 3 lines

* kill: only when agreed to in IM. 30 minutes of RP. Report sent to moderators

* no transformation while in a combat

* no fighting while swimming

* TP in and out the island from the docks ONLY

* no fighting while dragging a captive

* Tarns are allowed as long as they are metered

* 60 minutes waiting for rescue or trade

* Doves for help etc. must be RPed and reasonable. Remember that the isle is on no map and hard to find. We don't accept a sudden, not justified invasion of 1000s of helpers.

* Make sure, your rescuers agree with the rules (especially the non-human part)

* 30 minutes of no RP and you can escape. The escape has to be RPed and send as notecard to a moderator.

* Be aware that if you capture one of the savage tribe, that it's not sure, if the "exotic creature" transforms into human, when you drag it from the island... Most of them will, when they get into the influence of the Priest King's powers and technology, but maybe not all of them...

* No trade for Lindens.

9.0 [GM] SERVER

The server is not easy to be found. Stealing from it must be RPed as well as the PICKING OF DOORS. A notecard with the RP should be send to one of the moderators. No Picking, no stealing with OOC tag or outside of RP. This will be seen as griefing and leads to eject and ban.

The most important rule:

10. NO DRAMA!!!

We're all here to have fun and good RP.

Try to keep OOC-comments to a minimum. Those are supposed to be in double brackets ((...)) or IMs

In doubt of the validity of a RP, don't discuss for hours; ask a moderator.

All decisions of the RP moderators and administrators of this sim are final.

**** And we definitely don't discuss, how "Gorean" this island is or not.***

Call it "Disney-Gor" or whatever you want, but Disney is fun and we are here to have fun. If you don't like fun and prefer stiff RP, permanent battles and no storyline, quoting "the books" like a bible all the time, then just leave us alone. Thank you. [and John Normans volume 32 "Nekos of Gor" will come!]

All the others:

WELCOME AND HAVE FUN!
