Hi all,
I am a DJ and have been booked for a Gorean wedding.
I am wondering if somebody could fill me in on a few pointers regarding how to address people.
would i for instance say 'good afternoon ladies & gentlemen' or 'good afternoon gentlemen & ladies'
would i include slaves in the address ?
As you can probably tell, i have no experience in the Gorean lifestyle, and the last thing i would want to do is offend anybody.
any pointers would be very much appreciated.
jimbo
I had visions of this being a serious & informative thread.
Guess i should of known better.

hey!
talk to the person who has hired you for the party? he should know. slavery = in my opinion no rights, in this case you may ignore slaves. just my 2 cents _____________________

Ahh ... this thread will be fun! *fetches the popcorn*
My take: Just say "Tal" instead of "Hello" and never, ever greet the slaves. "Ladies and Gentlemen" should be fine, but "visitors" will keep you 100% safe.  Good luck!  PS: I'm not a die-hard Gorean but I've read some of the novels. I'm sure an expert will chime in later today. |

Or, if you've seen "Outlaw of Gor" you can open your set like that movie opened.
Say "Cabot!' about 300 times. _____________________

Greet 'all' Free first, and then the owned as you wish if at all. We do like a 'hello girl', or 'little one', but it is not required.

To be honest, just go for welcome Gentleman and gentleman.
For the most part you'll be almost spot on regardless of what sex their avatar happens to be at that moment in time. Oh and for goodness sake don't make eye contact or act as if you recognise any of the "girls". Yes you may well have met her in your favourite pickup joint and taken her home for some pretty average poseball activity, but as far as "Master" is concerned, when he's not logged in, she's at home pining after him and practicing her catering skills. |

Indeed, "I am Spartacus!" or "Great Gorean Auction!" might ruffle a few feathers.

"Great Gorean Auction!" might ruffle a few feathers. Maybe followed by; "And what am I bid for this relatively poor specimen of a man to my left?" |

I am a DJ and have been booked for a Gorean wedding. Maybe we could offer some ideas for tracks to play. Pep (I'll start the suggestions off with Bryan Ferry's "Slave To Love" _____________________

I've just started looking into Gor but i know a little about greetings.
When you greet men it's generally good to greet them with *Tal Sir's* and woman *Tal Ladies* slaves you can if you wish but greet them *Tal Kajira and Kajiru for male slaves* Never ever use a name until they tell you it, that's how the roleplay works in Gor Hope that helps and might be a good idea if you have time to look around a couple of sims and watch how they talk and interact so you get the basic gist of things.

If someone has booked you for a Gorean "wedding" and actually used the term "wedding" then they don't know what they're talking about (as about 90% of Goreans on SL don't *sighs*).
On Gor, the closest thing to a wedding is called a Free Companionship which is actually a contractual agreement that must be renewed yearly. (I'd personally like to see that instituted...might cut down on divorces. ) Very little is actually discussed in the books about specifics other than that the most important part is drinking the wine of love.This is from Luther's excellent website: http://www.geocities.com/delphius2002/id26.htm About 3/4 down the page is a discussion of Free Companionships, a bit quoted here: The books do not contain a complete Free Companionship ceremony, only small bits of information about its contents. In addition, it is clear that the ceremonies vary city to city. The only common denominator is that the ceremony include the drinking of special wine, the wine of love. In some ceremonies, the couple will interlock their arms as they drink the wine. The wine must often be drunk to conclude the ceremony. In some ceremonies, the woman will wear eight veils, several which will be removed during certain phases of the ceremony. Some cities then have the final veils removed in private by the man while in other cities the final veils are removed in public during the ceremony. Good luck _____________________
