LEARN THESE RULES WELL
If something is not covered by a rule...think with your inahan belly and try to figure out what's most pleasing or ask a choonweh or one of the trainers. It is all right to say you don't know what to do in certain situations. If ever in doubt ask a more experienced inahan or a Free person for guidance. Remember, always, that we are a Red Savage camp, and as such we do not have the many amenities a city or even a Wagon camp has, so when in doubt, keep it simple. Punishments for r or R that break rules is swift and exacting; wt*, wt, yt have a bit more leeway on these rules - but NOT to misbehave...only more tolerance for lack of knowledge.

If a Free doesn't know what they want, offer and explain two or three choices and if they still dont know what they want offer a few more choices with explanation again.

Silk Colors & Restrictions
See the following link for the YK silk colors and their restrictions.
Raids
If told take cover or if raided go to the servery immediately and close and lock the door after last slave or Kashna enters. This is your only post allowed nothing else.
No posts to the Frees fighting.
Keep all posts in private messages.
Senior inahans or a Free will assign med treatment.
Do not exit until Chief or ranking Free allows.
Healing
See the following link for the Medicine of Yellow Knives
Chores
DO THEM ! It doesn't matter whether you are a personal or YK slave it helps to make the Homestone look wonderful for all Tribe Members and Visitors. Be very elaborate and sexy doing them and show off YK life.
If an inahan has time to come into camp...then she has time to do chores if she is not serving. If you come in the room and leave without serves or chores you may end up caged the next time in if a Free sees it. The REd Savages are not lazy people... during the day there is much to be done. At night things may be more restful..
If you cannot think of any chores on your own then check this page CHORES and remember if no one is there to see you do them to post them on the inahan board.
Know the Yellow Knives HomeStone(sacred fire)
Know how things are kept cold see the description of chillery further down this page.
Know where you sleep - the slave dorms. Inahans have furs to sleep on if they have been gifted otherwise they sleep on piles of sweet grasses..and a small box to store things in the slave pens.
Know what you wear - see YK apparel.
Know what the servery is like as you spend a lot of time there - see servery description.
Know what a Yellow knives tent lodge looks like. It is large, about 15 feet around and tall enough to stand in. It has braziers to warm it and thalarian lamps to light it. Master/Mistresses can have couches if They want to sleep on with inahan rings on them and furs at the bottoms for the inahan to sleep on or may have piled up furs...whatever pleases Them. The couches are not like Earth couches but rather simple bedding. The Council tent is huge at least 35 feet tall and round with different sections in it for holding council and gatherings and receiving guests. An inahan can enter a tent only if allowed for cleaning or ordered to.
Things to massage or bathe a Master/Mistress are kept in the servery for use at the bathing sands of the smaller Kaiila river branch.
There is a steam lodge set in a small grove of trees near the bathing sands too (trees are not common in the Barrens except by rivers and streams). Hot water is poured over the rocks in one corner of the lodge to produce the steam.
Visiting
Only ~r~ & ~R~ may visit on their own with PRIOR permission from Either their Owner(if privately owned) or the Chief. This permission shall not be given as blanket permission but must be sought before the visit. As for wt* & wt they don't travel and yt* only with a Tribe Member escort...not just permission but escort..They leave you leave.
If you are caged or shackled you don't visit.
Under no circumstances can you visit a banned camp. Check the honored member status, usually we have treaties with these camps and you will be safe visiting there.
When visiting READ their rules and follow them unless they are against YKs rules - if so.. you cannot visit there.
If you are able to serve there ..offer quick and DON'T be lazy, remember you represent the YK camp.
Furring
Kashnas must ask discretely in whisper and no open reference is made by a inhan about or to a Kashna and furring.
If an Itancanka wants more than one girl - do so YK inahans are pleasing.
Reasons for refusing furring no vt reason... r/t only...needing to leave soon or a child or spouse may see screen.
Boys/male inahans
Girls are allowed to whisper and play with boys but nothing with sexual overtones...chaste kisses hugs..no wrestling or tickling..NO sexual references..if doing chores together post to a Free or all..not each other.
Furring is not allowed unless Owner has given permission.
Dances
An inahan needs to have a dance done before being eligible for red silks.
Use a dance based on the Gorean dances for the first dance.
A first dance will be checked first by a trainer.
A dance is not just masturbation set to music, be expressive, use emotions make it beautiful.
Try your dance rt, this will make sure your dance is not impossible to do.
Do not make your dance too long or each post too long, approx 6 lines per post works well. You want to keep everyone interested.
ALWAYS write your own dances, copying some one else's dance just cheats you and your Owner.
Punishment
Gor is not fair and what goes on between a Owner and an inahan when an inahan displeases is Entirely in the Control of the Freeperson. Inahans have NO say in what is done to them or to other inahans EVER .. so react as a kajira of Gor would react, knowing its more expensive to buy a prize tarsk than replace you. (if you want to say this is online and different, recall there are an average of 4 women per man in Gor and you can STILL be easily replaced at the drop of a hat).
While disciplined be silent unless asked to speak.
Do not move or greet until released.
If told to stand at whipping post do so beautifully with a full and sensual post...ie show off your beauty and the fear for your life.
When punished the ONLY response is yes Itanka, nothing else. NOT ONE SINGLE WORD MORE.
If the Free wants an explanation...They will ask for one..make sure its NOT arguing, offer only the simplest of facts, no one wants your opinion.
Best to just admit ignorance if you do not know or apologize for a mistake and vow to do better.
If no explanation is asked for, then apologies and statements that you will try to do better may or may not be added...Use your head if you still have it to judge whether the Free displeased... is in the mood to hear anything at all from you if they have already found you displeasing.
Silence and heartfelt acceptance are often the best approach to living. Yes its harsh...so is Gor... this is Gor...not Earth and no..not always fair or just...doesn't have to be.
If another slave is being punished do NOT by one single word, sigh, posture, weeping, posting scared, Dare to make any comment at all on the actions of a Free with a slave.
If corrected by a trainer accept this gracefully they are teaching the wishes of the Chief and Tribe Members of Yellow Knives.
Caged Inahans
ALWAYS KNOW YELLOW KNIVES RULES AND FOLLOW THEM not what some other camp taught.
They may NOT "chat" or post anything except to offer simple greetings and an explanation if asked why they are caged and answer questions of the Free but do NOT chat idly, offer to serve, pout, post an unpleasant appearance in any way, shape, or form. If you need to post to stay in room..post it to yourself in private. Also if doing chores in their cage ie.. mending etc. you may post that.
Fellow inahans should check to see if they need food or water or supplies for their chores.
No conversations with the caged in public they are to be using the time to reflect and learn - Think Time Out.
If a trainer is punished, she looses trainer tag for at Least 3 days there is little excuse for poor behavior in a trainer or moods of any sort.
if a full red silk ~R~ is punished she looses R and is r for at least 3 days - these silks denote the highest level of training and the expectation is of perfection offered in serving with total devotion.
If a trainer is there and has time...they will try to explain what might have been done better when you are punished..and what to do in the future..if a trainer is not there we will try to explain it next time we see you - Save the Log.
Respect
Never..not by look..not by thoughts and certainly not by anything ever posted, comment negatively on a Freepersons actions.
Free are touched, hugged, kissed only when a slave is told to not at a slave's wishes.
If dismissed after a serve or lap...GO!
Getting Along
It is not your business how another inahan does a serve or their chores or speaks you are an inahan and the Frees will rule inahans and They do not need your help so keep any opinions or looks or other such posts to yourself...inahans whining about other inahans is not in ANY way shape or form pleasing!
If some inahans behavior is really really beyond horrible have a transcript before complaining to a Kashna of Training.
Common Rules
Do not handle coins but pick them up in your mouth.
You own nothing not even your name or shirtdress.
Anything given to you is your Owners and you must ask permission to wear gifts or eat candy given. The exception being food or drink or candy treats given during a food or drink serve which may be eaten without asking permission.
You may not eat or drink without permission except at given meal times and then you eat left over food prepared that day, slave gruel is not nourishing enough for the hard work a inahan of the Yellow Knives does.
Some Final Thoughts
If expecting some sort of love affair...go now...Gor is harsh..Gor is not fair and Gorean Frees use inahans and more than one as they please ...you as slave/inahan have NO rights to any kind of attention.
If expecting fair treatment...then just go to what was just posted above...if pleasing there is attention..if not...expect little attention...(but know too if honestly willing to learn...training in being more pleasing is always available..there are FEW inahans that cannot improve.
If only having time to come in once in a blue moon don't expect attention when you are here..the word for stranger is enemy....the word for that kind of inahan is UNPLEASING.
If you want to be in more than one room or more than one collar or think to play any kind of dual role expect death.
If thinking or wishing to try and rule a Free with desire or complain and whine about emotions then feel free to leave now...be gone and don't waste our time.
If wishing to come in and rule over other inahans and complain about the attention they get or how they behave..be gone..a YK inahan is about being sisters and brothers and family here and enjoying each others company. if wishing to come in..do a hot serve then maybe fur and chat and no need for anything else or to show up only if room is occupied...be gone...slaves/inahans show up and do chores and interact with sisters and brothers ...to serve their slave/inahan belly and make Yellow Knive's Homestone wonderful for all.
If wishing to be here only for one Free then go now...inahans of the YK are pleasing and live to please all Members and show this slave/inahan belly by their actions with other Members and guests both Free and slave/inahan.
If wishing to come if for sympathy about homelife or talk about job or family...be gone...this is Gor.
If wishing to play any other role OTHER than that of a Gorean inahan..pleasing in all she does...then by allll means go and do so...but go
If wanting a family on Gor.. then you have found it
If something is not covered by a rule...think with your inahan belly and try to figure out what's most pleasing or ask a choonweh or one of the trainers. It is all right to say you don't know what to do in certain situations. If ever in doubt ask a more experienced inahan or a Free person for guidance. Remember, always, that we are a Red Savage camp, and as such we do not have the many amenities a city or even a Wagon camp has, so when in doubt, keep it simple.

If you make a mistake..ie forget sugar and cream with blackwine or brought paga when they asked for kalana...try to correct it at the next post or if pointed out apologize profusely and offer to quickly fix it.
You may serve outside the homestone once allowed to travel but make sure to follow YK's rules first but also know that homestones rules..if they conflict with YK's rules then you cannot serve there.

Healing
See the following link for the Medicine of Yellow Knives
Chores
DO THEM ! It doesn't matter whether you are a personal or YK slave it helps to make the Homestone look wonderful for all Tribe Members and Visitors. Be very elaborate and sexy doing them and show off YK life.
If an inahan has time to come into camp...then she has time to do chores if she is not serving. If you come in the room and leave without serves or chores you may end up caged the next time in if a Free sees it. The REd Savages are not lazy people... during the day there is much to be done. At night things may be more restful..
If you cannot think of any chores on your own then check this page CHORES and remember if no one is there to see you do them to post them on the inahan board.
Know the Yellow Knives HomeStone(sacred fire)
Know how things are kept cold see the description of chillery further down this page.
Know where you sleep - the slave dorms. Inahans have furs to sleep on if they have been gifted otherwise they sleep on piles of sweet grasses..and a small box to store things in the slave pens.
Know what you wear - see YK apparel.
Know what the servery is like as you spend a lot of time there - see servery description.
Know what a Yellow knives tent lodge looks like. It is large, about 15 feet around and tall enough to stand in. It has braziers to warm it and thalarian lamps to light it. Master/Mistresses can have couches if They want to sleep on with inahan rings on them and furs at the bottoms for the inahan to sleep on or may have piled up furs...whatever pleases Them. The couches are not like Earth couches but rather simple bedding. The Council tent is huge at least 35 feet tall and round with different sections in it for holding council and gatherings and receiving guests. An inahan can enter a tent only if allowed for cleaning or ordered to.
Things to massage or bathe a Master/Mistress are kept in the servery for use at the bathing sands of the smaller Kaiila river branch.
There is a steam lodge set in a small grove of trees near the bathing sands too (trees are not common in the Barrens except by rivers and streams). Hot water is poured over the rocks in one corner of the lodge to produce the steam.
Visiting
Only ~r~ & ~R~ may visit on their own with PRIOR permission from Either their Owner(if privately owned) or the Chief. This permission shall not be given as blanket permission but must be sought before the visit. As for wt* & wt they don't travel and yt* only with a Tribe Member escort...not just permission but escort..They leave you leave.
If you are caged or shackled you don't visit.
Under no circumstances can you visit a banned camp. Check the honored member status, usually we have treaties with these camps and you will be safe visiting there.
When visiting READ their rules and follow them unless they are against YKs rules - if so.. you cannot visit there.
If you are able to serve there ..offer quick and DON'T be lazy, remember you represent the YK camp.
Furring
Kashnas must ask discretely in whisper and no open reference is made by a inhan about or to a Kashna and furring.
If an Itancanka wants more than one girl - do so YK inahans are pleasing.
Reasons for refusing furring no vt reason... r/t only...needing to leave soon or a child or spouse may see screen.
Boys/male inahans
Girls are allowed to whisper and play with boys but nothing with sexual overtones...chaste kisses hugs..no wrestling or tickling..NO sexual references..if doing chores together post to a Free or all..not each other.
Furring is not allowed unless Owner has given permission.
Dances
An inahan needs to have a dance done before being eligible for red silks.
Use a dance based on the Gorean dances for the first dance.
A first dance will be checked first by a trainer.
A dance is not just masturbation set to music, be expressive, use emotions make it beautiful.
Try your dance rt, this will make sure your dance is not impossible to do.
Do not make your dance too long or each post too long, approx 6 lines per post works well. You want to keep everyone interested.
ALWAYS write your own dances, copying some one else's dance just cheats you and your Owner.
Punishment
Gor is not fair and what goes on between a Owner and an inahan when an inahan displeases is Entirely in the Control of the Freeperson. Inahans have NO say in what is done to them or to other inahans EVER .. so react as a kajira of Gor would react, knowing its more expensive to buy a prize tarsk than replace you. (if you want to say this is online and different, recall there are an average of 4 women per man in Gor and you can STILL be easily replaced at the drop of a hat).
While disciplined be silent unless asked to speak.
Do not move or greet until released.
If told to stand at whipping post do so beautifully with a full and sensual post...ie show off your beauty and the fear for your life.
When punished the ONLY response is yes Itanka, nothing else. NOT ONE SINGLE WORD MORE.
If the Free wants an explanation...They will ask for one..make sure its NOT arguing, offer only the simplest of facts, no one wants your opinion.
Best to just admit ignorance if you do not know or apologize for a mistake and vow to do better.
If no explanation is asked for, then apologies and statements that you will try to do better may or may not be added...Use your head if you still have it to judge whether the Free displeased... is in the mood to hear anything at all from you if they have already found you displeasing.
Silence and heartfelt acceptance are often the best approach to living. Yes its harsh...so is Gor... this is Gor...not Earth and no..not always fair or just...doesn't have to be.
If another slave is being punished do NOT by one single word, sigh, posture, weeping, posting scared, Dare to make any comment at all on the actions of a Free with a slave.
If corrected by a trainer accept this gracefully they are teaching the wishes of the Chief and Tribe Members of Yellow Knives.
Caged Inahans
ALWAYS KNOW YELLOW KNIVES RULES AND FOLLOW THEM not what some other camp taught.
They may NOT "chat" or post anything except to offer simple greetings and an explanation if asked why they are caged and answer questions of the Free but do NOT chat idly, offer to serve, pout, post an unpleasant appearance in any way, shape, or form. If you need to post to stay in room..post it to yourself in private. Also if doing chores in their cage ie.. mending etc. you may post that.
Fellow inahans should check to see if they need food or water or supplies for their chores.
No conversations with the caged in public they are to be using the time to reflect and learn - Think Time Out.
If a trainer is punished, she looses trainer tag for at Least 3 days there is little excuse for poor behavior in a trainer or moods of any sort.
if a full red silk ~R~ is punished she looses R and is r for at least 3 days - these silks denote the highest level of training and the expectation is of perfection offered in serving with total devotion.
If a trainer is there and has time...they will try to explain what might have been done better when you are punished..and what to do in the future..if a trainer is not there we will try to explain it next time we see you - Save the Log.
Respect
Never..not by look..not by thoughts and certainly not by anything ever posted, comment negatively on a Freepersons actions.
Free are touched, hugged, kissed only when a slave is told to not at a slave's wishes.
If dismissed after a serve or lap...GO!
Getting Along
It is not your business how another inahan does a serve or their chores or speaks you are an inahan and the Frees will rule inahans and They do not need your help so keep any opinions or looks or other such posts to yourself...inahans whining about other inahans is not in ANY way shape or form pleasing!
If some inahans behavior is really really beyond horrible have a transcript before complaining to a Kashna of Training.
Common Rules
Do not handle coins but pick them up in your mouth.
You own nothing not even your name or shirtdress.
Anything given to you is your Owners and you must ask permission to wear gifts or eat candy given. The exception being food or drink or candy treats given during a food or drink serve which may be eaten without asking permission.
You may not eat or drink without permission except at given meal times and then you eat left over food prepared that day, slave gruel is not nourishing enough for the hard work a inahan of the Yellow Knives does.
Some Final Thoughts
If expecting some sort of love affair...go now...Gor is harsh..Gor is not fair and Gorean Frees use inahans and more than one as they please ...you as slave/inahan have NO rights to any kind of attention.
If expecting fair treatment...then just go to what was just posted above...if pleasing there is attention..if not...expect little attention...(but know too if honestly willing to learn...training in being more pleasing is always available..there are FEW inahans that cannot improve.
If only having time to come in once in a blue moon don't expect attention when you are here..the word for stranger is enemy....the word for that kind of inahan is UNPLEASING.
If you want to be in more than one room or more than one collar or think to play any kind of dual role expect death.
If thinking or wishing to try and rule a Free with desire or complain and whine about emotions then feel free to leave now...be gone and don't waste our time.
If wishing to come in and rule over other inahans and complain about the attention they get or how they behave..be gone..a YK inahan is about being sisters and brothers and family here and enjoying each others company. if wishing to come in..do a hot serve then maybe fur and chat and no need for anything else or to show up only if room is occupied...be gone...slaves/inahans show up and do chores and interact with sisters and brothers ...to serve their slave/inahan belly and make Yellow Knive's Homestone wonderful for all.
If wishing to be here only for one Free then go now...inahans of the YK are pleasing and live to please all Members and show this slave/inahan belly by their actions with other Members and guests both Free and slave/inahan.
If wishing to come if for sympathy about homelife or talk about job or family...be gone...this is Gor.
If wishing to play any other role OTHER than that of a Gorean inahan..pleasing in all she does...then by allll means go and do so...but go
If wanting a family on Gor.. then you have found it
