SETTING:
By-the-book Gorean roleplay, based on John Norman’s Gorean Saga.

All players are expected to respect the lore, tone, and spirit of Gorean roleplay, while maintaining a fair, immersive, and enjoyable experience.
◈═══════════════════════◈
1. General OOC Rules
◈═══════════════════════◈
Respect first: No harassment, insults, racism, sexism, or personal attacks.
Consent matters: Gorean RP is harsh, but OOC limits (e.g. torture, permanent harm, sexual RP) must be respected. Share your limits in profile or IMs.
Adult content: Age verification required. No avatars resembling minors.
Immersion: Keep OOC chat to IMs or OOC groups, not local IC.
AFK tags: Use “AFK” or “OOC” tags when out of character.
No metagaming/godmodding: Don’t use OOC info IC, or control others without consent.
ICA = ICC: In-Character Actions = In-Character Consequences.
Drama-free zone: OOC drama, griefing, or disruption may result in bans.
◈═══════════════════════◈
2. Combat Rules
◈═══════════════════════◈
Meter: ZcS Combat Meter required.
Weapons: Gorean-style only (spears, bows, swords, daggers, shields). No modern/sci-fi items.
Armor: Must be Gorean-appropriate. No invulnerability items or unfair HUDs.

2.a. Raiding etiquette:
◈═══════════════════════◈
At least 3 defenders must be present.
Raids must be announced in group channels.
Max duration: 2 hours.
24-hour cool-down between raids.
No logging in mid-raid to defend.
Capture & bindings: The captured individual must be named, and the binding roleplay must include at least three detailed emotes, each no fewer than ten words.

Safe zones: Arrival docks, admin areas, and landing points are non-combat.
