As the former MTC web designer, I wanted to bring this to your attention:
From MTC's pages:
The Commissaries: There are always dishes to be done, and the commissary wagons are to be kept clean. Goblets, bowls, platters, plates, tankards, etc., are to be washed and checked for flaws (see the Cleanliness page for more specific instructions from Ubar on dish care), then returned to the shelves. Any broken crockery is to be taken out to the box behind the commissary and smashed so it is not useable. The floor is to be swept out and washed down, and the counters need to be scrubbed and cleaned. Also, slaves are to check the supplies in the wagons and refill them as necessary or possible from the camp stores located in the freight wagons.
From the Dreaded Tuchuks' pages:
The serving wagon: There are always dishes to be done, and the serving wagon to be kept clean. Goblets, bowls, platters, plates, tankards, etc., are to be washed and checked for flaws, then returned to the shelves. Any broken crockery is to be taken out to the box behind the serving wagon and smashed so it is not useable. The floor is to be swept out and washed down, The counters need to be scrubbed, and clean. Also, slaves are to check the supplies in the serving wagon and refill them as necessary (or possible) from the Camp stores (freight wagons).
From the MTC pages:
Hauling Water: There are barrels throughout Camp, many by various wagons, which are to be kept filled with water. They are placed at regular intervals so that fires can be extinguished easily and quickly in the event of raids. (Not to mention that it is much more fun to be tossed into a barrel of water than an empty one should the Frees become engaged in a kajira tossing contest!) Again, there are leather buckets to haul the water and yokes capable of holding 4 buckets at a time which can be found in the freight wagons.
From theirs:
Haul water from the river. There are barrels throughout Camp, many by various wagons, that are to be kept filled with water. They are placed about so that in case of raids, fires can be extinguished easily and quickly, (the importance of keeping them filled, not to mention that it is much more fun to be tossed into a barrel of water than to an empty barrel should the Free become engaged in a kajira tossing contest) Again, buckets to haul the water, and a yoke capable of holding 4 buckets at a time can be found in the freight wagon, as well as buckets in some of the supply wagons.
From MTC's:
Furs: Fireside furs should always be kept clean, brushed out, and ready for Camp free members and guests. No free person should ever have to arrive at our fires and sit upon a mess. Slaves are responsible for making sure the furs are shaken clean of dust and gently brushed every day. If a free person requests that a slave clean his/her wagon furs, the slave is to do that as well.

Furs: Fireside furs should always be kept clean, brushed out, and ready for Camp Free and for Guests. No FreePerson should ever have to arrive at our fires and sit upon a mess. Slaves are responsible for making sure the furs are beaten clean of dust, aired and brushed every day. If a FreePerson requests that a slave clean their wagon furs, then the slave is to do that as well.
I'm sure the plagiarism goes on, but that was all I needed to see. The offending page is here:
http://www.geocities.com/dreaded_tuchuk/Amu_Chores.htmlThey have a cute disclaimer, too.
"We just wanted to note that the information on these pages, come from various sources. Be it from the book or the internet. Yet any page pertaining to Nomads of Gor was doubled checked to be accurate. We like to give praise to the hard work of others. We just want to say personally to W/whoever made it possible for us to have this Gorean information. Thank Y/you so much for making such Great Gorean Information Reference."
They are not welcome!
A blanket statement does not equal the same thing as true credit given for another's hard work, especially when you know damned well whose work it was. Such a blanket statement on a term paper would get a college student expelled from a University.
If my post here is seen as inappropriate or irrelevant, please feel free to remove it. Simply, I was offended on behalf of MTC and myself and thought you guys should know.
