(READ FROM BOTTOM TO TOP)


elaan~{GS} 8:18:00 am CST
*she uses the rep cloth she used to clean the dishes and wipes across all the counters, turning to make sure she cleaned them all, her naked form glistening in the fires light, she gathers up all of the soiled rep clothes and slips back down the hall toward the slave kennels to make herself presentable*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------elaan~{GS} 8:15:13 am CST
*satisfied with the fires calmness, she moves back to the tub of dishes, she lifts a rep cloth and procedes to wash each one with care, completing the washing of them, she dumps the dirty dish water out behind the tavern, then, rinsing the dishes in cool water to make sure no soap residue clings to their surface, she dries them and replaces them to the shelves*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
elaan~{GS} 8:11:07 am CST
*moving back to the fire pit, she hurridly pulls logs from the pile and places them into the fire pit, making a cradle in the middle of the pile of wood to nestle the coals to, she places some very small twigs and dried grass into the center of the cradle, she then uses the small iron shovel, scooping the coals onto it, she drops them into the cozy center, setting the shovel back to its place, she crouches and blows gently on the coals, their surface burning to life a hot red color, the bedding beneath them starting to smoke, she blows harder, then, little orange flames start to dance around them in the dried grass, then igniting the small twigs the flames grow larger as they start to dance across the bark on the logs, she scoots back and watches the flames engulf the defenseless pieces of wood, she then slides several more pieces of wood from the pile and into the pit, sighing as the warmth tickles over her flesh, her saphire orbs glittering brightly*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
elaan~{GS} 8:03:13 am CST
*having so much dirty water upon the fire pits floor, she tip toes to the kitchen, bringing a stack of rep cloths back with her, she hurridly soaks up all of the dirty water, she then procedes to scrub the pits entire surface again to make sure it is sparkling clean, again, she uses the rep clothes to soak up the water puddled at her feet, her entire naked body having little kisses of black splashed over it, her flesh shiny from the dew that forms upon it, her hair tied back with a thong of leather, loose tendrils sweeping down her cheeks to stick there, finishing drying the fire pit with the rep clothes, she smiles softly as she is relieved she is finished, lifting the empty scrubbing bucket, she replaces the brush within and puts it back to where she found it*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
elaan~{GS} 7:54:27 am CST
*lifting the small iron shovel, she digs the smoldering coals from the ash, placing them into an iron vessel near the pit, she then continues to scoop the mounds of ash into large buckets, finally finding the bottom of the pit, her arms and legs smudged with blackness from the burnt corpses of wood, she places the small iron shovel back to its place, her hands grabbing firmly the handles of the buckets and she makes her way out to the back of the tavern, discarding the ashes, she then returns to the firepit within the tavern, placing the ash buckets to their places, she slides the bucket of soapy warm water to the back, padding softly across the dirty pit to the back, she lifts the brush and starts to scrub feverishly, washing it until there is no ash or blackness upon its surfaces*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
elaan~{GS} 7:42:41 am CST
*meandering through the furs, she collects dishes and vessels as she makes her way to the kitchen, placing them into the tub, she finds the small white flakes of soap, reaching into the container, she places a small handful into the tub, then, she scours the kitchen looking for the bucket used to scrub the floors, finally finding it, she again places a handful of soap into it, removing the scrubbing brush from it first, she then moves to the fire pit pouring some hot water out of the kettle into the bucket, filling it full, she then sets it to the floor beside the pit, taking the kettle to the tub of dishes, she fills it nearly full to, then, refilling the kettle with water from the cask at the rear of the kitchen, she pads back to the fire pit and replaces it over the smoldering embers*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
elaan~{GS} 7:30:00 am CST
*making her way sleepily to the tavern from the slave kennels, she slips into the tavern, her eyes scanning the dim room, she stretches and yawns, her eyes settling on the fire pit, sighing as it has burned down to hot coals*

Whirled to great speed above the head it is released high or low depending on it's intent rapidly injuring or entangling it's prey.

 5   General Board / Gor to Earth date comparisons  on: Yesterday at 7:23pm
Started by Xertog | Post by Xertog
I made the below post at the 'John Norman Chronicles of Gor' forum. Here is a link to the web site.

http://gorchronicles.com/modules/wfchannel/

You need to be registered to read the message board/ forum.

Here is the post:

I don't recall reading or seeing the calendars of Earth and Gor compared or a chart that gives the corresponding dates in the novels. It's been some time since I have read most of the books so perhaps it is a case of me not remembering. I have seen charts online in several places. Only the one posted on the World of Gor web site (the link is below) has lead me to consider that it is from one of the novels and not something made up online. Could somebody please tell me if it is from the books or was it made up on the net?

http://www.worldofgor.com/reference.aspx?rpID=60


I got one useful response from a guy named Breoghan. He posted this:

That's the first time I've seen that comparative calendar. I'm about 99.9% sure it wasn't there when WoG collapsed as a forum. Most of what I have seen on the subject has been individuals without any conclusive evidence, speculating. Nicole was a lot closer to JN however, having been in direct contact with him I believe. I also believe she was quite big on the keeping Gor honest thing. There may have been a single directly attributable date available - and with one confirmed date anyone the least bit competent with a spreadsheet could kick a similar calendar out in no time.

So what I am looking for is a quote from the books that has a date or may be even a month that corresponds the Earth and Gorean calenders. I know there are charts on a number of web sites that list both calenders. What I am looking for is a reference from one of the 27 novels that would validate these charts.

To those far flung folks, she send best wishes.

Started by Xertog | Post by Xertog
Here is a list of things we have scheduled at some of our past festivals. I am looking for feed back on them and suggestions for others things that might be scheduled.


DANCE CONTEST

Categories:

best first dance

best yellow silk

best red silk dance

best open dance (Open dance is a free form dance to be judged on humor, imagination and entertainment).


Poem and song contest

Name that slave
4 or 5 slaves are chosen to enter the Tavern using the names Slave A, Slave B, Slave C, Slave D, Slave E. They each serve a drink to someone. When they are done the Free try and guess who each slave was.

Slave Meat Toss Contest
The bosk will be soaked in paga and kalana.
The most creative players, with at least three posts each.

It will be played out as done in the below quotes from the books by John Norman:

"Lana, Ute and I knelt in a line, facing the players. Our hands were bound behind our backs with binding fiber.
The men, wagering, tossed us pieces of meat.
We caught them, in the firelight. A catch was two points. A piece which was dropped was fair game for any. We fought for the dropped pieces. The retrieval of such a piece was one point. Ute dropped a piece and Lana and I fought, each holding to a part of the fallen prize, rolling and tearing. I struggled back to my knees, tearing my head to one side. "Mine!" I cried, swallowing the meat, almost choking, laughing.
"Mine!" cried Lana, gorging the other half of the meat.
"Point for each," adjudicated one of the guards.
We were excited, and wanted to play further."
(CAPTIVE OF GOR-, Page 112)

"I saw a line of five slave girls, kneeling, abreast, their hands tied behind their back. Bits of meat were thrown to them, one after the other. A catch scored two points for the master. A missed piece might be sought by any of the girls, scrambling about, on their bellies. She who managed to obtain it received one point for her master. The girls were encouraged from the sidelines, not only by their masters but by the crowd as well, some of whom placed bets on the outcome."
(MAGICIANS OF GOR-, Page 37)



Gorean Trivia -
Prepared questions will be asked from the 26 Gorean books by John Norman. The first right answer posted wins a point.

Improvised group slave dance
A girl is chosen to start and writes about 4 or 5 lines of a dance. Then another girl is chosen and picks up where the last girl left off and so on.



Oar Dancing contest

It is addressed as any athletic activity for men, similar to a judged spar. In the training yard a mock set of twelve oars running from a false ship side, complete with rail, running to the ground below at a proper angle. Also a mud pit added at the bottom.

The men will have five posts to do their best to jump from oar to oar (which even if not moving would be difficult due to their narrowness) in an entertaining manner. The men, from the start must leap from the rail to the oar and not touch ground or rail till they are finished.



"Then the Forkbeard himself drained the remains of the tankard,
threw it to the foot of the mast, and then, to my astonishment,
leapt from the ship, onto the moving oars. Then men sang. The
Forkbeard then, to the delight of those on the bank, who cheered
him, as the serpent edged into the dock, addressed himself
delightedly to the oar-dance of the rover of Torvaldsland. It is not
actually a dance, of course, but it is an athletic feat of no little
stature requiring a superb eye, fantastic balance and incredible
coordination. Ivar Forkbeard, crying out, leaped from moving oar to
moving oar, proceeding from the oars nearest the stem on the port
side to the stern, then leaping back onto the deck at the stern
quarter and leaping again on the oars this time on the starboard
side, and proceeding from the oar nearest the stern to that nearest
the stem, and then, lifting his arms, he leaped again into the ship,
almost thrown into it as the oar lifted. He then stood on the prow,
near me, sweating and grinning. I saw cups of ale, on the bank,
being lifted to him. Men cheered. I heard the cries of bond-maids."
(Marauders of Gor, pages 82-83)


Scavenger Hunt

Follow the link below to see how this was done

http://goreanshores.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1185205785

Well actually it was never done it was just scheduled. It was one of those things that got positive feed back at a forum but nobody actual participated in. The idea behind it was to use it to help promote the festival.


Sparring Tournament
