The Village Rules

===================================
OFFICIAL RULES In Effect AUGUST 7, 2011
===================================

================================================================
WELCOME TO THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ - The Original, open and sucessfull running since spring 2009!!
================================================================

THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ is a mix of D/s, BDSM, Gorean, and Capture Role play Playground. DOMINANT MEN chase and capture submissive women, then RolePlay with them.

THE VILLAGE™ Slave Hunt is located on a distant moon, in a galaxy abandoned by Priests Kings, inhabited by descendants of Goreans, and made a prison moon for enslaved women to be hunted and used by the Men from throughout the galaxy (see background story).

========================
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
========================

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

a. JOIN THE APPROPRIATE GROUP (prey for woman, Predators for Men)
b. GET AND WEAR THE OFFICIAL VILLAGE METER AND HUD
c. MEN (only) USE A BOW TO HUNT WOMEN
d. DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR THE SIM THEME
e. CHECK YOUR SCRIPT COUNT - MAX. 100 ALLOWED
f. WEAR YOUR CORRECT VILLAGE GROUP TAG (prey for woman, pred for Men)
c. WOMAN USE STONES ONLY - TO DEFEND

GROUPS: Join either THE PREY (women) or PREDATOR (men) GROUP. This allows you to pass through the barriers to the role play area (hunt grounds). Do not join both, which is a banning offense. Women must dress in silks, camisks, or panther wear ONLY and be barefooted and bare legged. This sim is strongly gender oriented with no room for genders that are not clearly defined. Sexual role-play is between human forms only.

GAMEPLAY: Dominant men chase submissive women with bows, capture them by shooting rubber tipped arrows causing meter damage of 10% each arrow hit. At 0% health a Prey is captured, a net appears around her, and a Pred can bind her wrists (by clicking on the net). Then the Pred can drag the Prey off to one of the many RolePlay areas around the sim.

STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Click on the sign "getting started" (yellow shiny letters). It teleports you to a room above. Get your free meter and wear it. For those who like to grab some freebees - you'll find free silks, free bows, free cuffs and stones and several other gifts. To join the playgrounds - click on the appropriate door - pred OR prey by wearing your appropriate tag.

HOW DO I GET TO THE PLAYGROUNDS if i'm not here for the first time?

Wear your appropriate grouptag (pred OR prey), click right away on the appropriate door (red lettering on the two towers). You'll tpd right down to the hut.



===============================================================================
SAFE ZONES, OOC ZONES, RP ONLY ZONES

SAFE ZONES: Market (for shopping), no time limit. But if we realize avatars standing up there for more than 30 Minutes a Guard or Headguard will approach you.

Predator Hut and Prey Hut, TIME LIMIT: 10 minutes. Last chance for you to get dressed appropriate to the Sim rules.

Campfire. basically, no time limit as we want you to socialize. But be aware, as long as you stand there you're stopping the ongoing RP - and that's what THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt is about. Go out and run - the Guards or Headguards might im you to become back again a part of the Sim's RP.

OOC ZONE: The area at the Northwest (near Castle) is a RENTAL/RESIDENTIAL ZONE. Please respect privacy, do not use the private houses for your rp (houses marked by blue "private" signs).

ROLEPLAY ONLY AREA (NO CHASE AND CAPTURE): is located in the little Village behind the red Walls (NE of the Sim) --> see Roleplay Only signs AROUND THE Onyx Ring Tavern. We encourage Guests to use these areas for more immerse RP experiences in a NO CAPTURE environment.

=============================================================
-->> NOTE: running in or back to EVERY of those zones while being chased is considered as autocap.
=============================================================

GUARDS AND HEADGUARDS

PERSONS WEARING OFFICIAL VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ TITLES may be actively working on their part for keeping the sim running well and ARE NOT SUBJECT TO CAPTURE. They also can set OOC while working.

================================================================================
--->> Questions? GET A TEAMLIST at the arrival point (Market). Please talk to a Head Guard or a Guard. They will be able to answer.
================================================================================


===========================================
IGNORANCE OF THESE RULES WILL NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM BEING EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THEM. GUARDS ASSIST GUESTS and ENFORCE THE RULES FOR THE PEACE OF ALL. Your ability to enter this sim is a privilege, not a right, and this privilege may be revoked at any time for any reason. BY CHOOSING TO ENTER THIS SIM YOU ARE SUBJECT TO FOLLOW ALL THE RULES AND TERMS OF THIS SIM. Please read these rules carefully. MODIFICATIONS may be made to the rules to accommodate special events (for example: Fur boots allowed for prey when the Sim is snow covered). The owner reserves all rights to remove any person who does not comply with these rules and terms. Breaking the rules could result in a permanent ban
===========================================

THIS IS A SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CAPTURE ROLEPLAY SIM. There are NO VISITOR TAGS here. In the Village, hunting grounds and WaterChase™ areas you should be IN CHARACTER, already dressed in accordance to the sim rules, wearing THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ Meter, wearing the appropriate Village Group active, and prey must all be wearing a VISIBLE collar accessible to any Predator who captures them.

=======================================
SEXUAL ACTIVITY IS HUMAN TO HUMAN ONLY
=======================================

While we make allowances for our mythical race friends to visit the sim, be part of the community, and engage in non-sexual RP, NO sexual interaction between an animal form mythical races and humans is allowed.

**AGE PLAY IS HIGHLY FORBIDDEN. Child avatars are absolutely NOT allowed, Any sort of role play with a child av IS A BANNING OFFENSE. Minimal avatar height: 5'11" ft or 1.80 m. You will be measured. Any kind of "Daddy" games is highly forbidden and is a BANNING OFFENSE as well.

NO griefing, no shouting, no flying, no push, no escorts, no recruiting, no vehicles, no gestures or sounds that spam the entire sim. Insulting, rude or verbally abusive OOC talk will not be tolerated.

NO Recruiting or hunting for Slave Auctions which involve the exchange of any sort of money. Doing so will result in a permanent ban.

==================================
ALLOWED RACES: ALLOWED BEHAVIOR
==================================

Male Avatars
------------------
HUMAN (Chase, capture, role-play, sexual role-play)
Nekos, Vampires, Demons, Elves (Chase, capture, role-play, sexual role-play)
Minotaur, Centaur, Lycan (Chase, capture, role-play, NO SEXUAL RP)
NO FURRIES – NO EXCEPTION
NO ANIMALS (dogs, cows horses, etc.)

Women Avatars
---------------------
HUMAN (Chase, role-play, sexual role-play)
Nekos (Chase, role-play, sexual role-play)
Mers (Chase, role-play, sexual role-play ONLY WHEN TRANSFORMED BACK TO HUMAN out of water)
All females MUST always be barefooted, no legwear at all.

YES! Goreans are MOSTLY welcome here but this place is NOT GOR, the Priest-Kings left the galaxy having abandoned the human population [read the background story]. WE LOVE GOR, but please remember the role-play here is different.


=======================================
FIGHT LAG, DON'T BE A SIM RESOURCES HOG
=======================================

DO NOT CAUSE LAG!!! Take off all that unnecessary stuff like HUDs, chimeras, scripted hair, scripted clothing with resizers. You MUST keep your script count light to help with lag. You should be able to get your script count below 100, anything over 150 will attract the attention of the guards who will ask you to remove excess scripts or scripted items. There are helpful SCRIPT COUNTERS in the predator and prey huts that will count your script score for you by clicking on them. (Note: most viewer side 'script count' features are inaccurate, and do not count HUDs etc.)

VAMPIRES are required to leave the Bloodlines game at the door. NO SPAMMING THE PLAYERS WITH BITES!!

DO NOT LAG THE SIM: HIGH SCRIPTED ITEMS ARE NOT ALLOWED, SPAMMING OR ANNOYING GESTURES ARE NOT ALLOWED. This includes vehicles run on the terrain, griefers, or leaving behind your own Pose Balls. Don't rezz objects! All will be returned without warning.

IF YOU FIND YOUR RUNNING LAGGING DURING A CHASE, TRY SPURT RUNNING... run a bit. Stop. Run more. Stop. Run. Let the sim catch up to you!! This is especially true when the sim is full and loading information to a lot of avatars, and when sim resource hogs unfairly take more than their share by wearing too many scripts. Roleplay while staying in one spot, and water chases are also enjoyable low lag experiences.

=============================
2. THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ Meter
=============================

This meter has been scripted for THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™. ALL PLAYERS HAVE TO WEAR the current version of this Meter, no other meters are tolerated. The Village Slave Hunt™ Meter is a prim damage system and MOST weapons will register damage.

Preys AND Predators have to wear the meter in combat mode. OOC mode for players is allowed in OOC AREAS ONLY. Head Guards or Guards may use the OOC mode while they are resolving issues.


================
3. ROLEPLAY BASICS
================


1. ACT AS AN ADULT AND SOLVE YOUR OWN DISPUTES. We don't want to get involved in your hunting activities or the after capture role-play. If you cannot settle a dispute on your own AS ADULTS then feel free to alert a Guard for intervention.

2. YOUR PERSONAL LIMITS: Personal roleplay limits will be honored, although exclusion of sexual activity in general may not be honored. LIST YOUR LIMITS in a place easy to see in your PROFILE. If you are restricted sexually then please only enter the hunt grounds leashed to a predator. Be courteous and IM the other party and let them know if you can not role play rather than just teleporting out. (see rule #7 below for an exception to this rule). Personal roleplay bans are honored here. A no play-list in your profile will solve a lot of disputes.

3. BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS

4. JUMP, FLY AND SPEED-ENHANCERS ARE FORBIDDEN. Jump as the normal ability of the SL avatar is allowed.

5. RLV: Prey can not be forced to use the RLV functions of the collar.

6. TELEPORTATION OUT OF THE SIM: preys may not be teleported out of THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ without their express consent. They are invited to inform the owner or a Head Guard of any violation of this rule. It is suggested all roleplay remain on the sim in the play areas provided, where the rules of this sim can be enforced.

7. SEXUALLY Restricted prey can come to THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ and visit and interact with the people in the Village without threat of sexual restriction being compromised if they are owned and under these circumstances:

a) They have their owner clearly listed in their profile and listed as being sexually restricted.

b) Their owner must list the prey in their own profile and list that prey is sexually restricted.

c) Title their meter "sexually restricted to (owner name), non sexual RP only, see Village rule # 7".

d) Note this rule does not exempt you from being captured, or roleplayed with in other aspects, it only excludes you from sexual role play.

8. PREGNANCY. Please leave your mama alpha pregnancy game/hud out at the door. The Hud laggs the Sim. Every slave of that Slave Moon (see rp backgroundstory) DRINKS REGULARLY SLAVEWINE. So: NO PREGNANCY at all.


==========
4. THE PREY
==========

ALLOWED CLOTHING: Southern Gorean slave clothes such as silks, camisk, panther clothes ONLY. NO northern BONDMAID outfit, NO STREET Clothes, No BDSM CLOTHES such as latex, fishnets etc, no underwear! No shoes, no leg coverings, Panther leggings, etc. BARE LEGS PLEASE. No scripted hair. This is the sim dress theme, please dress accordingly.

Doubts about your dress? Check the clothes pic at the preyhut! Still doubts about your dress? The easiest way to identify is: if your clothes are enough airy and perfect for steamy hot climates .. its a: YES! FREE Silks are AVAILABLE at the TP Zone as well as in the Prey Hut. Pick em up!

PREY MUST wear a VISIBLE COLLAR (your own collar or Open Collar). Make sure to set yourself as primary owner. Once captured, the Predator should be set as second owner on your collar. You are now temporarily owned by that Predator for max. up to 24 hours. Releasing you after rp, not claiming you for the remaining hours means: you're free.

COLLARS MUST BE VISIBLE. When your enslavement is over you are free to remove second owners. A free Open Collar vendor is provided at the market TP's for your convenience.

WEAPONS: Stones, handheld only. Preys are only allowed to throw rocks IN DEFENSE at the Predator who actually hunts her. A Prey is NOT permitted to taunt, hit, strike or verbally torment a predator to induce a hunt. Doing so is a violation of this rule and terms for ejection. So: no slingshots, poison etc.

METER RESET: If your limits don't fit with the wishes of the Predator you should alert the hunter through a polite IM and ask him if you may reset your meter. If you are downed and left, the meter can be reset after 5 minutes. If being chased, prey that has suffered meter damage can NOT re-enter into the safe zone or escape to an OOC area or run into a ROLEPLAY ONLY area for safety. If they do, they will be considered automatically captured by the hunter (predator) pursuing them and will be forced to hand their self over to the predator.

REMEMBER: after being captured, you are unconscious. So there is no way to run, ESCAPE, jump, and throw rocks on your captor. There is no escape once a captive is taken inside the role play buildings. If you have agreed to roleplay with the hunter, entering a building, or agreed upon roleplay area, bind the roleplay to just you and him. You leave when the predator releases you, logs out, leaves the sim or hunts another prey (gave up on you).

USE: Predators are expected to use and/or role play with you once they capture you. If you are having issues with Predators who capture and release, please contact a Guard (ask for one in group chat if you cant see one in the Sim).

4.1 THE PREY AS MERS

Sex is ONLY ALLOWED BETWEEN HUMANS. NO MER/HUMAN SEX. Once captured underwater the mers can be dragged up to dry land (out of the water) by a Predator to role-play with. Mers MUST change into human form at this point… a transformation with mythological ideas behind it. Mers can be up in the upper sim hunting grounds, but just in the water ... to lure preds down.

===============
5. THE PREDATORS
==============

ALLOWED CLOTHING: decent clothing please (HINT: gorean clothing always fits you perfectly) Please: .... no fig leaves on your best pal, no hunting with your cock out of your pants. PLEASE BE CLASSY ... Leave all the scripted items at the door, i.e. swords, knives, capes etc. The less you wear, the faster you’ll move, the easier you cap ...

WEAPONS: Bows and certain firearms are allowed. You must check the allowed weapons list before entering into the sim. If you are using a weapon not approved you will be asked to remove it promptly. The allowed weapons are low lag, to help better fulfill your RP experience. NO FREEBEE WEAPONS at all. Next to the TP zone you'll find a good, inexpensive 2 Linden bow and also a free bow dispenser. Other fancier bows are available in the market from our merchants.

METER RESET: Predators may reset their meter after downing a prey or when they have been taken down. Predators can NOT reset during an active chase UNTIL they are taken down. But Remember: Predators can NOT be hunted or captured by preys!

DO NOT CHASE and CAPTURE prey unless you intend to use them! This game is about sexual use and that role-play.


========================
6. CAPTURE & ENSLAVEMENT
========================

Predators may enslave up to two prey at a time. If caught, the prey will be captured until:

1) the captor leaves the sim
2) the captor logs off
3) the captor leaves you in the compound and goes out to hunt other prey
4) the captor releases the prey
5) a 10 minute wait after the Predator has disappeared (crashed, also for Sim restarts)

After 24 hours, prey may remove their current owner from their collar menu and return to Start Point.

ONCE ROLEPLAY HAS BEGUN INSIDE A RP BUILDING OR ROOM THE CAPTURED PREY MAY NOT BE STOLEN OR TRADED BY ANOTHER PRED. SHE BELONGS TO THE PRED WHO CAPTURED HER. On the open hunt grounds a Pred may steal or trade a captured prey from another Pred in one of two ways:

1. A prey may be traded or stolen by another predator by capturing the predator and taking ownership of the prey's collar, voiding the first capture of the original predator, or role playing the capture with the willing prey. Either incident will void the original capture. You may NOT repeat these steps once the prey is stolen or traded. There is no escape once a girl is taken inside roleplay buildings. Prey may leave when the captor logs out, leaves the sim, offers release, or hunts other prey.

2. Fight for ownership: The Predators may turn on their meters and fight for the ownership (duel) of a prey they both hunted. The defeated predator must gracefully acknowledge his loss and leave. Predator just resets his meter.

==================
7. ALLOWED WEAPONS
==================

HIGHLY FORBIDDEN: any kind of freebee weapons which unless they are given out by THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ itself or given out by an official free weapon giver at the Sim itself, poorly scripted guns, fast fire rate that is not adjustable (sorry, causes too much lag). You will be asked to remove these weapons from use.

NOT ALLOWED is the use of any kind of SWORDS, SPEARS, SHIELDS OF ANY KIND, SCYTHES AND GLAIVES.

APPROVED WEAPONS: for preds: every gorean weapon which is NOT a SWORD, SPEAR, SCYTHE and GLAIVE. For preys: stones offered by THE VILLAGE itself or stones sold by a gorean weapon maker.


==================
8. WATERCHASE™
==================
A completely original enhancement to the Village, never before seen in SL.... CHASE IN WATER ELEMENTS. The size of the Village chase grounds has been effectively doubled with a maze of underground water passages I have created and engineered for swimming, floating, and chasing underwater. Special hidden entrances are in key places in the sim. Men and women may use swim HUDs to enhance the WaterChase™ experience (but not strictly necessary). All of the sim water has been connected, both above ground and below, so that chase scenes may involve both above ground running and underwater swimming (or running) chases and capture.

With the enhancement of WaterChase™ for the first time Mers (women only) will be allowed in Mer form IN THE WATER ONLY. Preds may cap Mers and drag them above to dry land at which point they will transform to human form, and sexual RP may begin with them. The backstory will be amended with a new chapter "The Discovery: The Underground Waters of Heiban" where the details will be explained in context. One of the details (more to come) is the arrival of a bold adventurer, GMC Carter, who discovers the underground water passages, a hidden pod of Mers, and the almost magical waters which are imbued with special hyper-oxygenated water that allows humans trans dermal breathing while submerged. And the Preds will need it. Mers are notorious sirens, luring men below to trick them and taunt them. And something begins to happen to the human Pred… a strange thing that begins to weaken them the longer they are underwater… (more later).

======================
9. THE ROLEPLAY VILLAGE™
======================
A taste of Gor and D/s with an emphasis on ROLEPLAY. From Gorean dances, a Tavern, RP teaching and demonstrations, special areas, special dances and party events, and other ideas you might have to increase the quality of roleplay interaction in the Village. The RolePlay Village will be a self-contained area behind the walls of the Village and new toys, areas and scenes will be integrated to enhance individual and group RP scenes. Exemplary RolePlay and role-players will be stimulated, rewarded and encouraged through an evolutionary development at the Village proper. We will work together (my Angels and myself) to continue to develop the most interesting and immerse sim in SL.

In the RolePlay Village part, no capture is allowed, but we will encourage a wide assortment of role-players to make this an integral part of deepening their experience at the Village Slave Hunt. Those who seek this shall find many surprises here. Also, our family, community, and retinue of SLers who continue to make The Village Slave Hunt their home and social meeting place shall find many comfortable and pretty places to hang out, as they have in other elemental areas I have created in the sim.

THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ offers free RP classes for everyone.
