Schendi Laws Proposed - Final Draft - July 2014

Schendi is a Free port; it is also the home port of the League of Black Slavers. It is ruled by a Merchant Council, Free men may hold office and may be permitted to sit on the Council.

1) The laws of Schendi extend no further than its walls, but members of the city are to carry themselves properly and with honor, and not bring disgrace to the name of Schendi when outside its walls.

2) Schendi is meant to be a place where Free can gather and experience the best of Gorean life and be respected, treated and served appropriately. It does not always follow the books verbatim, but follows the philosophy of Gor.

3) All Free citizens of Schendi are permitted 3 slaves total. All Slaves are to be available to any Schendi Free and no slave may be restricted in, in any way to any Schendi Free, by their owner at any time

4) Free persons and slaves within the walls of Schendi will act appropriately in relation to their position. Order is everything! While in public gathering places, they will not speak ill of or in disrespect to another citizen of Schendi or the city itself. Visitors are to be treated with the same respect unless their actions dictate otherwise. City business must not be spoken to visitors.– co

5) ooc policy – Schendi does not endorse the use of ooc (out of character) chat during Schendi rp. Ooc chat is discouraged when used too much, if it gets to a point where that is what you are talking in mostly. Take it to a PC or another room.

6) yahoo/aim/google/msn policy – 1)A Free cannot require that slaves give out any personal information, give them access to their passwords, call them personally or use any other chat forum other than imvu. 2) Schendi strongly discourages the mixing of RL and RP as it results in problems 99% of the time.

7) Rank of Citizens –Schendi has its own version of the caste system as listed below. This order may change from time to time.

8- Procedure for handling non-Goreans:
The Free/slave should copy and paste the following statement.
“Schendi is a Gorean RP room, if you do not know what Gorean is or what RP is. Then you most likely should leave and return only once you do. Here is a link to a site that can help you with Gorean. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] “
Repeat the posting process twice, and if they still do not leave, boot them or have someone boot them.

9) Any child born to a Schendi Master and a Schendi slave is born with automatic citizenship in Schendi as a slave, however, the slaves may be dealt with as per the books, including being sold, made Free, given away or other. A Master, if He wishes His slave children to be "free", must free the slave who He impregnated, making her a Free Woman, until the child is born, and then He may return the Free Woman to being a slave, or leave her as a FW.

10)No one is above the law. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right, and thus must be earned. You are expected to owe your allegiance to the city and work at supporting that city. All Free citizens and slaves of Schendi are expected to spend most of their time in Schendi.

11)Free as well as slave candidates must be in Schendi for 3 days 100% of the time they are online and pass an interview before they can begin the official 30-day probation period. Where they are then given a copy of the laws, after 10 days of this trial they are then allowed access to the forum. Slave candidates must wear a camisk during their 30-day trial period.

12) Security –In case of threat to kill or capture one of our citizens or slaves while in the room, make the person/s performing the threat aware that we are not afraid to use the elite guards. If they continue to threaten, use the elite guards to stop the threat before it takes affect. If it is not possible to use the elite guards to stop the threat, copy the chat log, post an exit, then exit the chat immediately.
13) All member of Schendi must have all members of Schendi on their friends list and will not block or remove any members from their friends list.
14) Poaching law –Personal slaves of Schendi Free are not to be taken/lured/poached away from that free by any other Free, Schendi or not, who may desire that slave. Furthermore, any personal slave released, will become a Schendi city slave until they are taken once more as a personal slave by a Schendi free , freed, or killed.

Free Candidates

1) Free Candidates are to review and study the laws of Schendi throughout their 30 day trial. After the 14th day of the trial the Candidate is then require to write 250 words on what swearing themselves to a Home Stone means to them.
2) Candidates may not use Schendi slaves for sexual uses until the 6th day of their trial. After the 6th day they may use each city slave 3 times without permission, but they must still ask the owner of a personal slave before they use the slave in sexual ways. Failure to ask permission will result with the Candidate having to pay suitable compensation for the use of the slave.
3) All slaves brought in by Free Candidates are to be put through the usual slave trial, just like any other slave. If the slave of the Free Candidate does not pass, then a discussion on what shall be done will have to be scheduled with the Council.

4) The Schendi Council will make the initial decision by vote to accept the Free as a Candidate and at the end of the 30 days, the Council will vote to determine if the Candidate is accepted.

5) Candidates may not punish any slaves during their trial period.

Laws of Schendi slaves

It is the sole mission of all Schendi slaves to please, pleasure, obey and serve the Schendi Free. Failure to do so is a capital offense. In the absence of any Schendi Free in the room, slaves will report to the Schendi FG who will be in charge of the slaves when a Schendi Free is not present. Being a slave in Schendi is an honor and a privilege and being trained in the basics of Gorean slave skills is essential for all Schendi slaves. All girls need to know the laws of Schendi and what is expected of them, they need to know how to enter and exit a room, speak properly, address the Masters and other Free properly, ask to be excused properly, serve basic drinks and food properly and maybe a dance or two. Slaves are expected to attend training classes as applicable and complete any training as required.

All slaves must learn the slave Creed -

He is Master, and I am slave.
He is owner, and I am owned.
He commands, and I obey.
He is to be pleased, and I am to please.
Why is this?
Because He is Master, and I am slave.

1) Any Free person that finds offense with another’s slave may punish that slave at will with advance approval by the slave’s owner { a Council member in case of city slaves }. Schendi slaves must wear their collars and brands at all times. –Co

2) Within 10 minutes of coming online, all slaves are required to report to the main Schendi room prepared for service. Slaves are required to spend the majority of their online time in Schendi as they are part of the family and their participation is required.+ Some of that is addressed in the next law and some of it is just not able to be done.
3) When a slave needs to step away from the keyboard temporarily, she needs to ask the free if she may be excused ooc, wait until they respond, thank them, then move to a block. If a slave is in a rush she may simply say “afk” or “brb” and move to a block, but she must explain herself as to why the sudden needing to step away once she has returned. If a slave must leave the room without any explanation, she must PM the Free who were in the room the next time she is online, apologizing and explaining as to why she left.

4) Slaves must follow any command issued by any Schendi Free, at any time {as long as it does not break any Schendi laws}. –Co

5) slaves who have been in Schendi for 90 days and are in good standing may travel solo outside of Schendi if there are no Schendi Free online but must have received approval to travel prior to traveling (from their owner or a member of Council if a city slave), and may only travel to safe zones or pre-approved rooms. slave must return if any Schendi Free comes online while slave is traveling; slave must post a full log of their travel within one hour of the visit; and finally, any slave captured while traveling, will not be sought after as they should know how to escape a room. –Co

6) slaves are not to speak of the business of Schendi to any outside visitor unless under express permission from a Free and doing so is a capital offense. Slaves are never to visit the camps of Schendi enemies (those on blocked and banned list). –Co

7) All Free are to be addressed as Master, Mistress, Jarl, or the specific name title they have/choose. Never call or refer to a Free by their name unless it is to clarify something. The First Girl is to be called either sister or mistress/First Girl. mistress only when there are no Free in the room.

Cool Slaves speak in the 3rd person at all times while in public rooms. The only exception is the use of “my” when referring to the slave’s owner. Slaves are never to use text talk while RPing, and it is frowned upon when ooc.

9) All slaves may be bred at any time and may be confined to breeding area during fertile periods if requested by any Master. Babies carried and born by slaves may be kept as slaves, sold off or made Free, based on a vote of Council.

10) slaves understand they are property and may be bought, sold, traded or loaned. Jealousy and possessiveness are punishable offenses and will not be tolerated. –Co

11) slaves may not carry weapons or touch money unless given to them by a Free, for purposes of going to market and only then to be carried in mouth, or hand or in a pouch. slaves may use knives in the preparation of food. –Co

12) All slaves will be branded within a reasonable time period as determined by the Council. - By recommendation of merchant law, there are three standard marking places for brands, on the left inner thigh, left outer thigh, and lower abdomen. The slave will be prepared for the ceremony by one to three slaves who will bathe, style the hair of, shave and otherwise prepare the slave's body for the ceremony, branding and initiation.

13) Entering/Greeting: The following is the greeting that slaves are to use when greeting Schendi Free citizens and "Candidates", whether there are guests in the room or not. The First Girl greets before any of the other slaves.

Entering the room: If a slave asks for permission to enter and the Free do not respond within 2 minutes, the slave may "slip in" to the room, making note in her post. Slaves will always ask permission to enter the room when a Free or First Girl of Schendi is present and will perform the required entry. If no Free are present, but the first girl is, the slave may perform an abbreviated entry but still must ask permission to enter the room." If a non-Schendi Free is the only Free in the room when a slave enters, they do not need to ask permission to enter.

Greeting Schendi Masters: Move to the feet of the Free you are greeting, drop to your knees and nadu and kiss their cock and then their feet. Once you have done this - you can then greet verbally. You can be creative in your words to be unique but do not remove their boots or shoes. Kissing the cock and feet of the Master is to show respect, submission and your willingness to serve, obey, pleasure and please. If the Free does not respond within 2 minutes, the slave may move on to the next Free to greet stating why in her post. slaves are required to complete their greets to all Free in the room before stopping the greeting process and offering to serve one. Free will not greet any slave entering until the slave has made an appropriate entrance and greeted that particular Free.

Greeting non-Schendi Free: When a Gorean visitor comes to visit Schendi, slaves are to wait for the Schendi Free to greet first...followed by the First Girl. If no Free are in attendance, slaves shall proceed with the First Girl leading. Move to the Master and nadu and tower for any FW.

NOTE: There is to be no cock kissing in the greeting when any visitor (Free or slave), is present and slaves are to be discrete with their nadu when a FW is present.

14) Low protocol” entrance: There are times when a slave should enter "low protocol" - when she has little time irl, but wants to come in the room either to say hi or deliver a message, etc, or a Free has asked for a low protocol entrance. In those cases, a slave may enter and says, “May this slave enter under low protocol due to real life or as per the Free's request”? In this case, the Free will say either you may or may not. If you are granted entrance, proceed to do a shortened greeting.

15) slaves may not charge for any services, private or otherwise unless directed to by a Master or in the line of duty if working in the tavern.

"'Those who brought you to Gor,' I said, 'doubtless had that fate eventually in mind for you. 'That is a lie!' she said 'It would have been easy enough to find ugly women,' I said. 'No,' she said. 'No!' 'You are too beautiful to be long left free,' I said. 'No!' she said. 'It is my conjecture,' I said, 'that you were eventually to be given to Drusus.' 'Given?' she said. 'Of course,' I said, 'as a slave.' 'No!' she cried. 'You are indeed naive,' I said. 'Do you think a woman as beautiful as you on Gor could long keep out of the collar?' She looked at me with horror. I gagged her, that she might not cry out." --Beasts of Gor, pages 201-202

Thank you FG. i will look at these tomorrow

2) Force collars are permitted but only in cases where the FW is extremely offensive or disrespectful and only if the Schendi Master sells the FW upon collaring.

What is the reasoning for the forced sale? This has not been the case before.

That has always been there as far as girl knows, she didn't see any problem with it so she kept it.

It was not in the original laws. I believe the collared female could also remain in the city as property.

It seems to me that this law should just be removed. Everything else looks good to me. Would be helpful to have Master Saat review once more.

So remove the whole law or just the part of that the woman has to be sold upon collaring?
