Where did that come from?"<br/><br/>And so, we put in a link back to where the character came from, so that it is possible for the casual reader to back-track and read what has gone before in that thread too...<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Good point, and thanks for reminding me!<br/><br/>New subject! Something that came up while I was talking over PMs with Vin and that is slave postures, commands, how they refer to themselves, etc.<br/><br/>Given that many slaves come out of the school system (which conditions both females and males) and/or pass through the BAF training regime I'm thinking many slaves will respond in a fairly common way to commands and will adopt a fairly common set of postures.<br/><br/>With slaves that have never had formal training such as the older ones who were already out of school when the law was passed, and who stayed in the family as the property of husband/father/brother/son, etc, these would not have much formalised training - they'd have gone through a variety of owners and been trained in different ways. That covers the older women.<br/><br/>I think there would be quite a bit of common approach and response to the whole subject among the younger women however. Someone mentioned a Gorean style to me but while I don't know Gor very well what I do know of it makes the slave system there seem very dry and dull, with some unimaginative positions and it almost seems Roman in some of its approach to the social condition whereas my game is aimed more at the porn end of things.<br/><br/>So should we attempt to hash out a set of basic positions and commands that is fairly universal or are players more inclined to do whatever they like?
