Code d' Ode includes a simulated slave economy. Legality is a first principle, so slavetrading is entirely simulated and no money changes hands between active players at any juncture. But a simulated trade operates as follows:
*Before purchase cockslaves are graded and priced. They are very expensive items! They are the most expensive of all slaves.
*A slave should demand that she be purchased, not taken freely like a slut. She is proud to be purchased.
*But her owner can "opt" to "commute" the slaveprice to alms. This means he makes a donation to charity instead. The purchase is only token (and indirect).
*Only some charities are acceptable for alms. These are: campaigns against child labour, forced prostitution and female genital mutilation, and all forms of non-consensual slavery. (You can't make a donation to your golf club and call it alms. It has to be directed to an appropriate cause.)
*The slavewoman has the right to nominate the organisation to which she wants her new owner to "commute the slaveprice to alms."
*The slaveowner has the right to decide the sum he will pay in alms to the charity his slave has nominated. Symbolically speaking he has paid the full price and the slave can wear her price with pride.
*A slaveowner is not required to reveal to his slave the actual sum of alms he has paid, nor is he required to give proof of payment to the slave or to anyone else. It is enough that he says to his new slave that he has "commuted the slave price to alms" with the charity of her choice.
*This constitutes full payment.
*It is improper for either slave or Keeper to ever mention either the fact or the sum of payment in any context again. It is a taboo topic in Code d' Ode play.
*It is a voluntary code. Men of good conscience will acknowledge that owning a cockslave is a rare privilege in life and will happily make a generous donation to a worthy cause in lieu of the slaveprice. This legitimizes the bond over his slave.
*Honesty is a cardinal virtue in a Slavekeeper. So when a man says "I have paid the slaveprice" (by way of a token donation to an appropriate charity) then we expect he is reporting the truth. It would be poisonous to begin a Keeper/slave relationship with a lie.
*It is the intent of Code d' Ode to foster and protect odalisques at all times. The whole Code works against illegal slavetrading, forced prostitution and exploitation.
*Odalisques are urged to demand that their owners pay the slave price. She should ask, "Am I to be taken for free like a slut?" An odalisque should SHAME her owner into paying a price for her.
*A key quality in a Slavetrader is the urge to protect and nurture odalisques. Such a man will abhor the ruthless maltreatment of beautiful, erotic women at the hands of underworld rackets and will happily give to charities that are devoted to helping such women. There are thousands of them in forced prostitution in the United States!
*There are no obstacles to players holding (consensual) slave auctions or auctions-for-service so long as ALL proceeds go to an appropriate charity.
*Code d' Ode seeks to create a high-class, luxury, consensual cockslave culture where play incidentally assists charity work that is devoted to eradicating forms of non-consensual sex slavery.

Light punishment
In standard BDSM slave play slaves may be subject to corporal punishment: whipping, paddling, smacking and flogging are common ways in which to punish a slave. Indeed, for those who enjoy pain and inflicting pain, these types of punishment may be central to slave play – punishment becomes the whole point of play.
This is not the case in Code d’ Odalisque. Forms of punishment are passive and non-violent – such as consigning a slave to kneel in the corner for a specified time – and punishment and pain are not central features of slave play. They may be included in play but they are not the point of play. Rather, Code d’ Ode is hedonistic. It is about pleasure. The central activity of slave play involves the slave being a willing vehicle for her Master’s pleasures. Punishment is a secondary and incidental part of play.
An odalisque must submit to discipline. She must be trained in the odalisque’s arts. It is necessary for Keepers and Trainers to develop suitable methods of punishment for those times when a slave transgresses or disobeys. An odalisque is a pampered slave, but she is still subject to a slave’s discipline. She must be trained to be obedient and compliant. It is necessary to have tools of punishment to wield as required.
These methods of punishment must be non-violent. An odalisque is not a pain slave. Odalisque slavery is non S & M. But there is bondage, and there is discipline.
Sending a slave to the corner for a time is an old tried-and-true mode of punishment. But there are other methods. Isolation. Deprivation. Restriction. Slavekeepers and Slavetrainers should experiment and develop favored methods of punishment according to their experience. All punishments should be non-violent, non-aggressive – light but effective punishment is the ideal.
