I do not beleive this is a term anyone has used before, and certainly one I've never seen written down. But I ponder stuff and I write things. So it became apparent to me that Gor has a unique OOC community in many Gorean role-play communities. The cause of which is unclear but likely stems from the blending of Gorean lifestylers and Gorean role-players.
Gorean OOC is a way of speaking out of character while maintaining a Gorean Aesthetic. Examples of this may include:
- A certain polite formality between players that has a heightened sense of courtesy, where terms like Sir, Ma'am, Lady, Girl, Master, Jarl and Mistress are used. In most communities, especially ours, this is not a requirement but rather a style of ooc interaction that lightly maintains immersion even when not in character.
- The use of Gorean words such as pasang for distance and ahn for an hour. Or even using the gorean words for animals, foods and drinks, even when discussing completely anachronistic topics such as going to the grocery store.
I will add more examples as I remember them, but for now it is simply of value to note this is -a thing- so that you are not confused by "are we rping or not". The answer may very well be ... -kinda-.
