## ALL OVER GOR
03 WHEN TO FORCE
COLLAR
By Verona Lorgsval
One of the biggest
frustrations that occur in Gor is the constant and repetitive if she is uppity collar her. If
she offends you collar her. It is not that easy to collar a free woman in Gor. Even Tarl was
required to have a woman submit before he collared and branded her.
It is not against
Gorean law for free women to be bitches. In fact it is expected for them to be bitches, and
Gorean men laugh it off and not take them seriously. For a Gorean man to lose his temper at
a free woman for being herself is a weakness on his part. It is easy for men to ignore the
digs of a free woman, after all she cannot help herself.
So what are you
options? If you catch her breaking the law, report her to the magistrate. There are a lot of
different punishments that can be imposed upon a free woman besides enslavement, which is
considered drastic. By reporting her to the magistrate you will have the role-play of
arresting her. You will have the courtroom drama of the trial, and finally you will have the
role-play of her punishment. Which can include being sent to another city for community service,
whipping, marching her naked around the sim, and several other potential
punishments.
Remember Free Women
are not free because they have earned it. Free women are free because they are
related to a free man. The community of men in Gor is such that they regard each
other as brothers, and no man can stand seeing his daughter spread eagled on a paga
table being slave raped. No man can afford someone else to control a part of him. What
would said man do if he is challenged to slave rape his own daughter.
This is why slavers,
when they acquire a free woman of the city who has been ordered to be enslaved, ship the
girl out of the city to another city far away. So that she cannot be used against her
family. This is also the reason why former high caste women are so valuable. Not because
they are better slaves, but because they are related to a powerful man.
So the next time a
free woman dares to be vile and vicious, think of another way to roleplay with her. What can
you do to her that would be fun for people to be involved in? Punish her for
insulting or demeaning her, and create and generate a role-play that everyone can enjoy or
be a part of. The women who dare to be true Gorean Free women crave a different
reaction than constantly force collaring. After all you really do not want another slave.

# THE SLAVE'S CORNER
~ A Satiric View of Life on Gor
By Teal Razor ~ slave
of Captain Siri Emerald Jr ~ Port Olni
WHERE IS HE GOING?
…..continued
By Teal Razor, slave
of Captain Siri Emerald Jr, Port Olni Warrior
It amazes me to no
end when I function on supposition and not truth. I was really ignorant of the travel plans
my Master was making. Some slaves might read that last sentence and say, "Oh yeah
Teal, you are truly a bosk's bum." And I know who is saying that right
now; the person that is
reading this and was once the "keeper of the naughty list" in Port
Olni.
Well, to you and the
three other people who read my drivel, a fleer's fart on you. You see, I have to be concerned
with my Master's whereabouts. Most would say, "That is not true, you just go and do
not ask questions. A slave has no rights. You are an animal." Now think about that for
a moment. Yes, that is so correct. I could not have said it with fewer words. It takes me
several uttered sentences before I get to the point, but if you stop reading now you will
never find out the big explosive ending. Well, play with fire
if you will. For the other 2 people reading this column, I will plunge ahead. I am to serve,
please and to be pleasing to all Free Persons. I am also to serve with exquisite beauty
and absolute obedience. Now, following orders blindly is noble and honorable. It means
that you have absolute confidence that you trust the other person's judgment as if it
were backed by an iron-clad guarantee from the Priest-Kings. On Gor, it seems, Goreans make
quick friends with people and for brief periods, they treat each other amicably. Not
to do so, would mean that the stranger would have to be an enemy and worthy of your
blade. But these fast friendships are constantly broken by tiresome border squabbles
which turn friends from adjoining lands into mortal enemies. So the old adage still applies;
'be careful whom you trust'.
So, I do not think it
is pleasing or obedient and it can be damn well ugly if you do not keep yourself alert to
dangers, lest your Master dash his foot against a stone. It's at these times, should you become too
inquisitive, you can say, "I must look out for your health and good fortune my Master.
May this girl have permission to speak? I knowi full well that if what I say is displeasing to
you, I will suffer a whipping from your kind hand." This last statement will actually make
two people happy. Your Master will hear a warning from your lips that may prove to save his
life and health and if not, he will get some much needed exercise lashing your
backside. And, you will get whip marks to prove to others in the market place that you are much
cherished by your Master.
Not being told where
my Master was going, and taking me with, was almost criminal. Since, to put it in
earth terms, I am his housekeeper, butler, parlor maid, scullery maid, interior decorator,
washwoman, haberdasher, chef, comparison shopper, personal assistant,
transcriber of the notes he makes for his maps, sex toy, "whipping
boy", and the keeper of his
secrets, which would make me appear imbecilic if I were to permit him to enter into harm.
Don't tell anyone, but there are not too many Master's who depend upon their slave as much
as my Master does.
And so it was to my
amazement that I found out my Master was going to Treve. He was not going as a
representative of Port Olni dressed in his caste uniform color of scarlet cloth. Instead he was
going undercover, in the disguise of a merchant. This was to be a cloak and dagger
adventure as a spy for the Commander of the Port Olni warriors. It kinda excited me. I was to
be traveling to a mountain clime which is given to lower temperatures. Because
of the cold, I was given three different larl pelt cloaks and feathered and
bejeweled headdresses so that I would look the part of a slave to a merchant who is
extremely prosperous. I think most of us would rather be around a richly dressed individual
and not someone who is wearing the Gorean version of Birkenstocks.
Dressed in rich
arraignment, my Master was assured of being let in the front gates of Treve. I do hope they
have changed the stockade type entry in favor of some richly hewn stone gate towers. I
don't like landing at a fly infested arrival point. The last time I went to Treve, there was a
distinct odor of urine around the gates. And so we went to
Treve and had a great time playing at "merchant". My Master pretended that he was
going to sell me to the highest bidder and I gave him pretend scowls. It was all in
great fun, but, he let me sweat a few times when the bidding got up to the 15 gold tarn
range. He always dismissed these monetary inquiries with a wave of his bejeweled hand. I
smirked at his pasha like largesse and thought he might be good at ruling a city in the
Tahari.
After 4 days of
buying, selling, eating, fooling around and sightseeing, we were ready to leave. I think my
Master obtained all the skinny on troop numbers and preparedness to give a full report to
his Commander. And so it was with heavy heart and a heavier belly, from having consumed
a week's worth of cream cakes in 4 days, that I departed Treve as the property of my
Master.
I promised you an
explosive ending. And an explosive ending it was too. My intestinal upset matched the
frolic level of my previous festivities. And there you have it. A good time was had by all.
Now let me clean out this lavatory before my Master gets home.

## RARE DIALECTS OF
GOR
07 [OOC] ANMERKUNGEN
ZUM ROLLENSPIEL IN DEUTSCH-GOR
von Rarius Yuroki
Zugegeben: Als ich
2008 zum ersten Mal im Second-Life-Gor war, hatte ich den Namen "John
Norman" noch nie gehoert. Auch waren mir Online-Rollenspiele so gut wie unbekannt. Mein
Avatar hatte eine "Detektei" in Secondlife und langweilte sich. Ich
hatte nur ein paar Goreaner
in Shops gesehen, deren Avatare mit Abstand besser aussahen als die normalen, die ich
kannte, und die mit interessanten Dingen ausgestattet waren, deren Zweck sich mir nicht
erschloss. Auch reizten mich die "Hemmschwellen", ueberhaupt eine Gor-Sim zu betreten:
"Gm meter Pflicht"?! Keine Ahnung, was das war, aber ich wurde neugierig.
Heute ist es mir
peinlich, wenn ich mir die Kleidung meines damaligen Avatars ansehe: Man in black, also
total ungoreanisch, wenn man von den Assassinen absieht. Ich wundere mich noch
heute, dass man mich nicht gleich hinausgeworfen hat in Torcodino [sic] und Asperiche.
Gleichzeitig bin ich dankbar fuer die Toleranz, die man mir in Deutsch-Gor entgegenbrachte.
Ich hatte nichts, ich konnte nichts, ich wusste nichts. Dennoch durfte ich
mitspielen. Daran sollte man sich erinnern, wenn man heute Neulingen begegnet: Wir haben
alle einmal angefangen. Und niemand muss erst 31 Buecher von Norman lesen oder
gefuehlt 999 Notecards, um zu wissen, was zu tun sei oder wie man goreanisches
Rollenspiel macht.
Dennoch habe ich das
deutsche Gor Ende 2008 verlassen und bin auf eine englischsprachige Sim
gewechselt, weil mich jemand dorthin einlud, obwohl ich mir mit meinem eingerosteten
Schulenglisch das gar nicht wirklich zutraute. Zum Glueck wusste ich immer noch nicht,
was Rollenspiel sein kann oder gar "paragraph roleplay", sonst waere ich davor
zurueckgeschreckt. Ich bin ins kalte Wasser gesprungen.***
Es hat weitere zwei
Jahre gebraucht, bis ich merkte, was der Unterschied zwischen "by the books"-Gor*
und "Gor evolved"** ist und wie man eine "storyline"
konstruiert und wie man Rollenspiel
spannend, aufregend und auch anstrengend und anspruchsvoll machen kann.
Leider sehe ich zur
Zeit im deutschen Gor nur selten Rollenspiel, das diesen Namen auch verdient (ich muss
dazu sagen, dass ich meistens im englischsprachigen Gor bin und dort auch eine Sim
besitze). Zwei Drittel des Chats auf deutschen Sims besteht oft aus sinnlosen
Begruessungen. ("tallies"). Es geht zu wie bei einem Kegler-Verein,
bei dem jeder jeden kennt,
nur ohne Kegeln.
Insbesondere die
Deutschen sind offenbar oft bemueht, Kontakte mit "Auslaendern" zu vermeiden. Dazu
gehoert zum Beispiel die ziemlich daemliche Unsitte, einen Sim-Namen fuer eine neue
deutsche Sim zu waehlen, der im englischsprachigen Gor schon vergeben ist. Wie soll man da
eine realistische "internationale" Storyline aufbauen, wenn man in
Port Kar spielt und
ploetzlich auf ein zweites Port Kar trifft? Ich vermute, dass Sim-Besitzer, die so etwas tun, eben
gar nicht wissen, was eine Storyline ist - also das, was Rollenspiel erst interessant macht.
Natuerlich gibt es
gute Gruende, warum deutsch Gor in Secondlife so ist, wie es ist: Die Anzahl der Spieler
ist gering, und Sim-Besitzer muessen Kompromisse schliessen, wenn sie ueberhaupt Leute
finden wollen, die es bei ihnen interessant finden. Die Aesthetik der Spielorte spielt
offenbar gar keine Rolle. Ich habe Sims getroffen, die unglaublich schoen gestaltet waren, auf
denen aber nie jemand war, und haessliche und lieblos zusammengefrickelte
Sims, die voll waren. Das ist im englischsprachigen Gor uebrigens vergleichbar. Eine
Spielerin kommentierte das zynisch: "Die Leute suchen sich Sims, die zu ihrem eigenen
schlechten Geschmack passen."
Man kann auch
spekulieren, dass jemand, der gar kein Englisch spricht, entweder sehr alt ist oder sehr
ungebildet (manche Sim-Besitzer koennen noch nicht einmal den Namen ihrer eigenen Sim
richtig schreiben) und/oder aus dem Beitrittsgebiet stammt oder nur gelegentlich online
ist (was fuer sehr viele zutreffen wird) und nur kurzzeitig Spass haben und sich nicht gross
anstrengen will. Das kann jeder tun und lassen, wie er oder sie will.
Schlechtes Englisch
ist ohnehin kein Vorwurf: Viele US-Amerikaner sprechen/schreiben Englisch schlechter
als ich, was Englaender oft missbilligend und mit virtuellem Kopfschuetteln
anmerken. Man darf auch nicht vergessen, dass manche Rollenspiele in mancher - auch
koeperlicher Hinsicht - beeintraechtigt sind, was man eben nicht weiss. Mir hat niemand
beibebracht, was Rollenspiel sein kann; ich waere damals vermutlich auch zu faul gewesen,
um zuzuhoeren. Dennoch hier ein paar Tipps, um die Sache attraktiver
zugestalten und um Spass und Spannung zu haben.
Die meisten
Rollenspieler - nicht nur die in Secondlife-Gor - werden den Unterschied zwischen "in
Charakter" ("ic") und "out of character"
("OOC") kennen. Beispiel: Wenn ich einem Avatar begegne,
kann ich zwar seinen Namen auf dem Monitor lesen, weil das ein Feature des Clients
ist (der Software, mit der ich mich in Secondlife einlogge), "in character", also
im Rollenspiel, "weiss" ich es aber noch nicht. Ich kenne den Namen
des Mitspielers erst,
wenn er den selbst ausspricht (ihn also im Chat schreibt) - oder jemand anderes.
Das ist ein typisches
Merkmal fuer das Rollenspiel der Killer (Assassinen oder auch Attentaeter) in Gor:
Sie muessen das Opfer "in character" identifizieren, bevor sie es attackieren, also nur
so lange in Hoerweite warten, bis jemand anderes zufaellig das Opfer mit dessen
Spielnamen**** anredet. Deshalb spreche ich meinen Namen ungern aus, wenn Killer in der
Naehe sind und mag es auch nicht, wenn das andere tun - man weiss ja nie. ?
Diesen
"Beweis", dass der Killer das Opfer identifiziert hat, muss man
spaeter - falls das Rollenspiel gueltig
sein soll und das Opfer das bestreitet - einem Moderator geben. Ein "Logfile"
des Rollenspiels (der Ausschnitt des Chats muss also komplett in einer Notecard (eine Textdatei in
Secondlife) abgespeichert worden sein - sonst kann ein Moderator nicht entscheiden).
Es ist wohl kein
Zufall, dass es im deutschen Gor keine serioesen Rollenspieler gibt, die einen Killer spielen
- die Rolle kann extrem anspruchsvoll, aber auch extrem langweilig sein (weil man unter
Umstaenden stundenlang herumstehen und warten muss - zudem weiss man nicht, wenn
das "Ziel" einloggt). Einige finden es chic, den Avatar in schwarzen Klamotten herumlaufen
zu lassen (das Kennzeichen der Kaste der Meuchelmoerder), aber tun ansonsten nichts.
Das ist im englischsprachigen Gor nicht anders. Ich bzw. mein Avatar hat mehrere
Attentate ueberstanden, weil der Killer nicht in der Lage war, auf Anfrage des
Sim-Moderators gueltige "Logs" (also Chat-Protokolle) vorzulegen,
woher er sein Wissen im
Rollenspiel hatte. Die "Kills" - wenn mich jemand im Gm-Meter-Kampf*****
besiegt hatte (was
auch nicht so einfach ist) - wurden also fuer ungueltig erklaert, und die
Angelegenheit hatte
nicht stattgefunden.
Ich habe
anspruchsvolles Rollenspiel von einigen wenigen englischsprachigen
Meuchelmoerdern
gelernt, die zum Teil ueber mehrere Wochen lang mit unendlicher
Geduld gespielt und
Logfiles gesammelt haben, bis das Opfer in eine solche Lage im
Rollenspiel gebracht
worden war, dass selbst ein Ausweg versperrt war, wenn der Killer im
Kampf unterlegen
gewesen waere. Eine meiner "Lehrer" war so arrogant (und so gut),
dass er sogar OOC
(also nicht im Rollenspiel) den "Meuchelmord" dem Opfer
ankuendigte.
Man muss aber kein
Killer in Gor sein, um spannende Storylines zu basteln. Als einfacher
Kaufmann habe ich
mehr "action" als die meisten Krieger, die nur herumstehen oder mit
ihren Sklavinnen
herumturteln oder in virtuellen Tavernen sich zum 999sten Mal mit Paga
(dem goreanische
Bier) bedienen lassen.
Man muss sich eben
etwas einfallen lassen. Die suedliche Handelsallianz (Southern Trade
Alliance - STA) hat
zum Beispiel neulich ein Dekret erlassen, dass niemand mit gelbem
oder rotem Salz
handeln darf, der nicht von der STA lizensiert worden ist. "Handel"
bedeutet den Transfer
von Guetern (aus Polygonen gemacht) von Avatar zu Avatar. Das
Dekret bedeutet
jetzt, dass Soeldner und Kaufleute der Allianz "reisen" und
nachforschen,
ob jemand dennoch
"illegales" Salz verkauft. Wenn jemand das macht (und ein
Chatprotokoll/logfile
existiert), wird es fuer dessen Avatar vermutlich bald sehr
ungemuetlich. Die
Storyline der STA wurde im englischsprachigen Gor uebrigens schon
2011 begonnen, und
sie geht immer noch weiter, weil genuegend Spieler sie interessant
genug finden, ihr
sich anzuschliessen. Es gibt quasi eine Gor-interne
"Geschichtsschreibung".
Man kann natuerlich
auch Gor spielen und nur ab und zu mit anderen herumballern und
Sims ueberfallen.
Einen Grund findet man schnell, und sei es - wie in den Buechern
Normans beschrieben
-, um eine Sklavin zu rauben. Auch das kann spannend sein, wenn
die Sklavin mitspielt
und versucht zu entkommen.
Mit dem Rollenspiel
ist es wie mit Beton - es kommt drauf an, was man damit macht.
Beispiel: Logfiles,
die dazu führten, dass ich einen Killer anheuerte, der meinen eigenen
Commander aus Landa
(gueltig) umbrachte (englisch) - die Storyline dauerte von Juli bis
September 2011
* "By the
books" (BTB) meint, dass nur Dinge zugelassen sind, die auch in den
Buechern
Normans vorkommen.
Beispiele: Tarns gibt es also nicht in der Wueste, Panther NUR in
den noerdlichen
Waeldern. Schwarze Jeans darf ein Krieger nicht tragen, sondern nur
eine rote Tunika.
Freie Frauen kaempfen nicht mit Schwertern oder Boegen. Rund 150
Gor-Sims sind zur
Zeit BTB.
** "Gor
evolved" bedeutet, dass freie Frauen auch kaempfen duerfen, wenn sie keine
Panther oder Talunas
sind, dass die Kleidung nicht unbedingt goreanisch sein muss und
dass es mehr um
Gm-Meter-Kampf geht. Die meisten Gor-evolved-Sims (zur Zeit rund
100) sind
"Outlaw"-Sims. "Geaechtete" halten sich eben nicht an
Regeln. In den Buechern
Normans sind Outlaws
jedoch nur eine kleine Minderheit. Der Unterschied "BTB" und "Gor
evolved" sagt
aber nichts ueber die Qualitaet des Rollenspiels aus.
*** Heute (nach rund
sechs Jahren im englischspachigen Gor) kann ich muehelos sogar
beim englischen
"paragraph roleplay" mithalten. Das ergibt sich einfach, wenn man nur
lange genug zuhoert
bzw. liest. ?
**** Der Avatar-Name
muss nicht identisch mit dem Namen sein, den man sich im Spiel
permanent gibt.
***** Das Gm-Meter
ist eine Art Attachment des Avatars in Secondlife, das ihn
"verletztlich"
und
"sterblich" macht. Der normale Avatar ist unverwundbar. Wenn man mit
Waffen
gegeneinander
kaempft, kann man den Gegner niederschlagen (wenn man besser ist),
dass der Avatar sich
fuer einige Minuten nicht bewegen kann, oder gar umbringen. Der
"Tod"
bedeutet bei den meisten Sims, das man dort drei Tag enicht mehr auftauchen
darf
und danach nur mit
einem "neuen" Charakter.
08 NEUES VOM HUB DER
ROLLENSPIELER
von CHAI BILBO [Chri
Emor]
Wir haben News für
Euch...
1. Per Heute sind die
neuen Plakate wie angekündigt aufgestellt worden. Die Simbetreiber
haben sich bei einer
Umfrage für "Direktteleporte" ausgesprochen. Nachdem wir den
Wunsch in einer
ersten Phase mit externen Teleportern aufgefangen haben befindet sich
nun unter jedem
Plakat ein Prim mit der Möglichkeit, direkt auf die entsprechende
Rollenspiel zu
teleportieren.
2. In den nächsten 14
Tagen werden wir unser neues Werbeboard präsentieren. Inhaber
der Werbeboards
werden die Simbetreiber sein. Das Board beinhaltet Groupinviter in die
wichtigsten Gruppen,
einen Observer- und einen Translatorgiver. Und natürlich ein Plakat,
dessen Grafik immer
wieder wechselst und Euch damit immer wieder neue RP-Sims
präsentieren wird.
Allen Unkenrufen zum
Trotz... das deutschsprachige Rollenspiel muss sich nicht
verstecken. Neulingen
werden wir helfen und den alten Hasen ab und an einen leichten
Tritt in den Hintern
geben, damit sie beweglich bleiben ;-)
Euch ALLEN ein Danke!
Für die Spenden, ohne die wir Euch die Neuerungen nicht
präsentieren könnten.
Für Eure Spenden auf den verschiedenen Sims, die den Simownern
das Leben etwas
erleichtern, um Euch ein tolles Setting bieten zu können und für Eure
Unterstützung der
neuen Spieler.
Das Team vom Hub der
Rollenspielwelten wünscht Euch ein tolles Wochenende und viel
Spass im Rollenspiel.

RATES HOY BANK
The base unit of
exchange rates are the coins of the city of Tharna.
NEW The HoY bank
accepts and converts coins from the City of Victoria (1:1)
The gold tarn disk of
Ar is considered to be the standard by which other cities, such as Ko-
Ro-Ba and Port Kar.
set the value of their own coinage. It is worth, generally, 10 silver
tarsks, but
standardization is slight due to the shaving or splitting of the coin as well
as
faulty scales that
contribute to the debasing of the coinage. (pg. 155, Rogue of Gor)

before you dare to
enter the Northern Forest and travel onward to Torvaldsland. We are
located on the
southern border of the Northern Forests, and have influences of both
southern and northern
cultures.
The climate is that
of the northern lands with the economy of a southern city, its a harsh
life but plenty to go
around for someone willing to dig in their heels and make a life for
themselves. The Admin
and residents of Agrhi invite you to stop in their beautiful home
and trade/visit/set
up a new life. We have many active citizens and there are many key

## ROLEPLAY
16 ROLEPLAY PRESSURE
OR HOW TO PREVENT A BURNOUT
by Anarch Allegiere
I very often come
across or get told about people who are the central part in a storyline
who eventually get
burned out from the pivotal role they play in all their storylines.
Commander, Slaver,
Master, head of the family, etc.
How do you deal with
the idea that people are waiting for you or depend on you for
roleplay?
Do you often feel as
if there is too much pressure on you when you keep a companion or
slaves in roleplay?
Do you get bothered with the idea that you might have to roleplay them
at least a little bit
every day? Did you overcome this feeling of pressure eventually?
Is there a way to
prevent this burnout? Should people be mindful of this and try to create
their own roleplay
and take initiative themselves in finding it instead of depending on a
central person for
it? Or what else could they do?
Other thoughs?

17 PILGRIMAGE
The pilgrimage is a
thrilling idea for role playing in Second Life Gor, it is the role play
background itself and
is a way for pilgrims to explore the amazing and wild world of Gor
more or less in
safty.
Pilgrims to the
Sardar mountains have to endure endless journeys, have to travel through
dangerous regions and
visit a lot of cities, villages and camps.
The pilgrimage is not
only an idea for the pilgrims, it also enriches the entire world of SL
Gor.

## ABOUT THE NEW
VOICE OF GOR
# (OOC) FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTION
Is the NEW VOICE OF
GOR OOC or IC?
This newspaper is
available IN CHARACTER at message boards in several cities. But it
has OOC parts and IC
parts which can be identified although many people mix both. We
try to keep the two
separate. But if you start a storyline based on an IC article of the NEW
VOICE OF GOR it would
be useful for a moderator to have a log where you have read the
message ICly.
The NEW VOICE OF GOR
can be true or false, propaganda or journalism like on earth.
There is no freedom
of the press on Gor. Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?!
"Goreans were
not always fooled by posts on boards.
Those who control the
public boards, it is said, control the city.
But I was not sure of
this.
Goreans are not
stupid.
It is difficult to
fool them more than once. They tend to remember."
(Magicians of Gor)
Why is
"publicare et propagare" the motto of the NEW VOICE OF GOR?
You all know that
Goreans use message boards to spread news, announcements and
gossip. Such are
found at various points in Ar, such as the vicinity of squares and plazas,
near markets, and on
major streets and avenues.
Books are rare on Gor
and expensive. Paper is the essential trade good of the Rencers
and they sell their wares
on both the eastern and western edges of the Delta of the Vosk
river. The NEW VOICE
OF GOR is a collection of rence paper scrolls but the editor paid
some message boards
too to spread the newspaper. Gorean Public Boards sometimes
made people angry.
Those who control the public boards, it is said, control the city.
We took our motto
from the Acta Diurna [latin: Daily Acts sometimes translated as Daily
Public Records] on
earth. The Acta Diurna were daily official notices in ancient Rome, a
sort of daily
gazette. They were carved on stone or metal and presented in message
boards in public
places like the Forum of Rome.
Acta Diurna
introduced the expression "publicare et propagare", which means
"make
public and
propagate". This expression was set in the end of the texts and proclaimed
a
release to both Roman
citizens and non-citizens.

GOR is available:

group Cartographers and Explorers of Gor
