I have a question about how slaves can great the Free.  Is it alright for a slave to say, for instance, 'greeings Regent," if s/he knows the Free's title?  I have seen contradictory information on this, so any thoughts on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

[Claude Belgar]

I think that "Greeting Master Regent" would be more appropriate. Think about it, if you say "Greeting Regent", you seem to speak to him in a somewhat equal term; there is still some respect in the fact you use the title, but not the kind of respect and submission you are expecting from a slave.

[thyri Carver]

I think when in doubt, ignore the title alltogether.  Greetings (or Tal) Master. 

If in doubt, simplify

[Jahnu]

You would never say "Greetings Master Regent". Only use the title (if you know it) or Master, not both.

[Conall DeCuir]

There is not Tal Master >insert title here<. Its only Tal Master or Tal Mistress for a slave.

[Heaven Demina]

Greeting pisses me off period!.... Free, slave, whoever... i get soooo sick of spending my entire rp 'Tal, Tal and Tal'ing!'

[BlackJack landar]

Should always be Tal or Greetings Master/Mistress. 
I kinda agree with Heaven on all of Tal's that go on, but, I don't think it can be helped.  Many use it as a way to break into rp....so...Tal ya'll 

[Garrgon Resident]

You'd only address someone by title to show respect. Who the hell cares if a slave respects you or not? Slaves should just stick with Master or Mistress unless this Regent orders them to use the title instead. If we must Tal each other to death, let's at least keep it simple.

double post!

[Heaven Demina]

ack! triple post even!!

[Heaven Demina]

I kinda agree with Heaven

woot! someone agreed with me! note down the date, quick! (yes, i know it said 'kinda' i am selectively ignoring that bit..)

[Heaven Demina]

oh i have properly fucked this up! see! thats what happens when folks agree with me! the world starts crumbling around us!

[Heaven Demina]

oh not again... just groans.. so sorry folks!

LAJA! come sort me out please!

Yep.. never never never by title unless told to do so. 

“Please, my Ubar,” said she, “let me stay.”
“I am not your Ubar,” I said. “I am your master.”
“Please, Master,” she begged, “let Telima stay.”

A Gorean slave, incidentally, always addresses free men as ‘Master,’ and all free women as ‘Mistress.’” — Captive of Gor, Page 73*

“The slave addresses all free men as ‘Master’ and all free women as ‘Mistress.’” — Prize of Gor, Page 295.*

Lets just keep it nice and simple...
