TRADE! a good reason against the use of Gorean Meters on your sim. now and then a Sister is captured in a city that is near to impossible to raid without considerable forces and ensuing drama and calling it all invalid or there is simply not much time...in these cases it is a good idea to dress as a FreeWoman of Gor, the symbol of diplomacy. However, according to their role they always have to rely on the honourable behaviour of the gorean world towards her. And I do. I do not wear my bow and feel really helpless, left without option but hoping for the best in negotiations. The last time I did this, I was asked for rp- server goods in brackets...((we only trade for rp server goods!))...which makes me wonder if that can be proper rp...generally rp works without brackets so the question should not come up at all...but it more and more does and it spreads like a disease over gorean- metered gor...over time these items concentrate on the large tribes and groups of course since its them who rarely need them but often get them...trades on the other hand are more frequently needed by the smaller groups since their means to raid are limited...so the meter promotes larger groups on Gor who gain double means to keep their members safe. Groups of this size dominate Gor. However the battles between them are marked by severe lag and not much rp since the battle rages on and on because there are still captives of one or the other side until both sides declare it invalid for whatever reason and everyone walks home. It is this type of Gor the meter privileges. It may be a good reason for using a different Meter as we all want to promote the diversity of Gor that we all like and that is so unique for Gor in SL.
