1. Approach Mastery with humility. Consider the gift Your slave gives You in granting You control of her mind and body. Abuse her gift at Your peril.
2. Know that the slave controls the ultimate limits of her submission. You may test her limits..may be even encouraged to do so..but respect her fears. Grant her a safeword, discuss limits, hers and Yours.
3. Read up on Gor. Look at the Gor web pages, find a couple of Norman's books to read. Gor is more complicated than it first appears, and many (most) Masters are less well educated in it's lore than are their slaves.
4. Consider the concept of honor. A Gorean Master is nothing without it.
5. Consider the concept of pride. A Master's pride is in Himself and His honor, His slave's pride in her Master and in her submission.
6. Examine the Rooms You frequent. Some Rooms are strict, some relaxed. Fit Your behavior to the Room You are in. Do not expect the Room to change to fit You.
7. Be polite.
8. Show respect. Do not abuse the property of other Masters. When speaking to a slave find out who her Master is, what limits He has placed on her service, and respect those limits.
9. Know your caste, color, and history...the question keeps coming up...and doh? isn't much of an answer.
10. Gorean Masters don't take a lot of crap from anyone..(see 4 & 5)..but this is VT Gor, and any battle here is a battle of wits...try to come armed.
11. Don't get into fights with Mistresses. First, it looks bad fighting with a woman, second, being a Mistress is tough in Gor. If the Mistress has been around a while she may be VERY well armed for a battle of wits......
12. The same thing applies to slaves. It's a tough life sometimes. Don't confuse submission with weakness. Or with stupidity.....
13. Gor is supposed to be enjoyable. Enjoy it. Let others enjoy it. Or go elsewhere.
