Plain English
What is a stable?
A King and the subs he has collared, ranked, under his rules.
What it is
A stable is a King and the men he owns. Each of them signed his contract, all of them live under the same rules, and every one of them knows where he stands.
It has an order. The King ranks his men from first to last, and where a man stands in it is the King's call and nobody else's.
It is also public. A King's stable sits on his profile for anyone to look at, and it says more about him than anything he posts.
Where it comes from
The word comes from the racecourse. A stable was the horses one man owned, and then, by extension, the fighters or performers one man managed. Here it is the men one King owns.
Online, a stable is how a King shows he is real — a roster of men who put his name in their bios and will vouch for him in public.
In their words
Head slave
The man at the top of a King's stable. The one the others measure themselves against, and the first to hear about it when they fall short.
“How many has he got?” “Four. I'm his head slave.”
How people do it
None of this is a rule anyone enforces. It is how Kings who keep more than one man tend to run things.
One set of rules
The rules belong to the stable, not to each man. When a King changes one, it changes for everybody under him.
A place for everybody
A clear order settles more than it starts. A man who knows he is fourth has something to climb.
Only as many as he can run
A stable is only as good as the attention it gets. A King who collars more men than he can answer ends up owning names.
How it works on fStable
A King's stable is every man who has signed his contract and not left. There is no limit on how many he can keep, but each man belongs to one King at a time.
The King writes the stable's rules, under four house rules that come first and cannot be removed, and ranks his men from first to last. Each man is told when his place changes. The King can also give each man a label of his own choosing, set how far each collar goes, and keep a note on each that the man himself never sees.
The stable is public on his profile, with each man's place in the line, his label and the date he joined. On the man's own profile, what he has given his King in worship shows as a ladder from New to Devoted, and the leaderboard ranks Kings by how many men they own.
Is it safe?
Joining a stable changes who can give you orders, not what you have agreed to. The other men in it never see your limits, and strangers never see your obedience score.
The label he gives you is public on his profile, so agree on one before he sets it. And leaving works exactly as the contract says. Ask whenever you like, and after forty-eight hours you can close it yourself. If your King has not been seen for a month, the site tells you so and shows you the door.
