Code of Ethics; The Submissive Contract

The Promise of Domination

As she who is worthy of your loyalty and devotion, I hereby make the following promise.

I will dedicate myself to the analysis and interpretation of your unique and sensitive psychology, including your fetishes, personal boundaries, fears and desires, your past experiences and future goals, your emotional condition, and the state of your personal development as an individual.

I will break you down and rebuild you with the scaffolding of my standards and expectations.  I will discover your threshold of tolerance and capability, and make myself a home there.  And by way of my residence, I will push your limits.

The Submissive Devotion

As property of the Dragonspryte Mafia, you are hereby sworn in by the following code of ethics.

You will put forth your greatest effort to adapt and survive the experience I subject you to, both *physically and mentally, and you will study yourself, and the self you become in light of this experience.  The two selves will be divergent, and this divergence should be regarded as spiritual.  You will hold true to yourself even and especially when doing so conflicts with the Chrome and Fleshtones Code of Ethics.  For this is a riddle to which there is no black and white answer.

You will respect yourself for who and what you are as Property of the Dragonspryte Mafia.

You will take the liberty of deviating from society, but you will never deviate from the Mafia.  This is because you have chosen to swear your submission.  And that is the only reason.

We are proud to play the villains in the story of life.

Property of the Dragonspryte Mafia are presented with *certifying dog tags.

By wearing these dog tags, the submissive signifies that he or she is in full acknowledgment of the Promise of Dominance and the Submissive Devotion, and is thereby sworn in by the Chrome and Fleshtones Code of Conduct.

The Submissive will be held to the follow standards and expectations.

*NOTE: Because the 9mm Mafia is a virtual syndicate of the Dragonspryte Mafia, physical experiences will simulated via role play.

*NOTE: In a virtual setting, the aforementioned dog tags will be simulated via a virtual dress code for Mafia avatars and official mention in profile descriptions.

Article #3b

Code of Ethics; Standards and Expectations

Observation

Life is a precious thing, and the world is beautiful.  And the Dragonspryte Mafia will not neglect this.  It is our ability to observe the world and ourselves, that makes us human.  And this awareness of our own senses, creates the experience of life.  And this should be regarded as spiritual.

We will honor our human quality of observation, with the power of articulation.

Articulation

Articulation does not mean speaking in medieval tongues or ancient Chinese proverbs.  It doesn't even mean speaking in cold hard math and science as I tend to do.  Articulation is your own unique art.  It is your ability to express an idea or communicate a feeling in high fidelity.  In other words, it is how you deliver your thoughts to the minds of others.

Property of the Dragonspryte Mafia should be well spoken, and able to express themselves eloquently, but they should be the ones who define what is “eloquent” to them.  The way an artist defines his or her own art, and a poet expresses that which he or she finds poetic, we speak our own truth, in our own dialects.

Anti-zen

The ability to synthesize a state of bliss under harsh sado-masochistic conditions; to weave a rope of pride from the threads of your tattered intrinsic senses, and to find arousal in your darkest imagination.

Anti-zen can be tested during play sessions, (which may also be referred to as “tests” or “slave training”) in which the Supremacy will assert and exploit their authority over the submissive using a variety of sado-masochistic techniques including but not limited to humiliation, degradation, pain and other forms of sensory play.  The idea is to remove the submissive from her comfort zone, rendering her vulnerable and dependant.  Then, after subjecting her to an intense experience, and observing the way she responds to it, the session concludes with a newly fledged closeness and understanding between Dominant and submissive.

Social Chess

A sort of non-physical martial art practiced by the Dragonspryte Mafia elite that capitalizes on cognitive empathy, rather than affective empathy.  Of course like in martial arts, “how to throw a punch” is no secret.  Social skills are not esoteric knowledge, but the art of *Social Chess is meant to be a distinguished style of charismatic manipulation.  When the phrase “Long live the devious” is used, it is not meant to illustrate a picture of a disorganized mafia of belligerent hooligans, but a mafia in which each member has potential power over one another.  A mafia of kinky ninjas, and social samourai.  This element of danger creates a dynamic of authority which is NOT unchecked, and respect which is NOT unbalanced.  It should also render the Dragonspryte Mafia as the social authority in an open public forum.

Social Chess can be practiced away from home, in public social settings.  For example The Supremacy might plan a sort of “field trip” for the submissive ranks.  This can be thought of as a covert mission.  A field trip might involve the Mafia attending a local fetish event and posing as if unassociated, allowing the submissive ranks to interact freely with the public, so that their Social Chess game may be observed.  The night would then be concluded with a critical review and any misrepresentations or violations of the Code would be addressed at a later time.

At home, a submissive who has proven to be particularly adept in the art of Social Chess may be given the opportunity to step in for the Supremacy when consulting with potential new intakes.
