100 Tals
or A Slaves Punishment

Sometimes something can be correct but can be used incorrectly. An example of this is the Gorean greeting tal. In the books, there were a few references (I believe 4 ) to slaves using tal to greet other slaves or free men or women without being rebuked for this. IRC and Online Gor has established a convention that slaves do not use tal. Before she begged my collar, my slave argent was in the habit of using tal as a greeting to both free and slave alike. She also used it as a challenge to men to stop her from using it. I did not approve of either usage and especially as a challenge. She used it again after that point. As punishment, I decided to ensure that she would remember not to use it again. The following is that punishment. She has not used it since. I was both pleased by her efforts and amused. The following is her response to my command to finish the phrase "The slave argent will not use tal".
