POSEURS OF

Yes, it's...POSEURS OF GOR!

You too can be a GOR POSEUR! Show off your True Gorean nature! Bluster others into submission! Impress the gullible!

Just follow some simple rules...

• [1] Make sure everyone knows you're a Real Gorean(tm); if someone isn't aware of this, work it into your conversation. Do so repeatedly if they don't get the hint the first time.
• [2] When confronted with someone holding a different opinion than yours be sure to accuse them of being a Mere Roleplayer, or even a Gamer, unlike you who are a True Gorean. Don't let them accuse you first!
• [3] Bolster your credibility while following the above rules by making frequent references to honor and sister/brotherhood. These buzzwords will show that you are a Real Gorean.
• [4] Avoid as much as possible any acknowledgement of differences between IRC Gor and the novels' setting. Fail to see any irony in simulating a low tech barbaric culture on a planetwide computer network.
• [5] Always misspell the word 'Earth'. For bonus points, misspell 'collar', too.
• [6] There is no Rule Six.
• [7] Choose a favorite book; Nomads of Gor (#4) or Assassin of Gor (#5) are the best options. Don't forget to bemoan how the series went downhill in the later books. (Note: you don't have to actually read them, just gripe about them. In fact, there's no need to read any of the books, so why bother? You can just visit a website.)

These few guidelines will let you too be a Gor Poseur! Now get onto IRC and show off your newfound ability to show your True Gorean Nature and intimidate newcomers!
