Edited by: Gaven Blands on 14/05/2007 13:23:47 Ok, so, let's face a simple fact. Some of us are nerds. In fact probably most of us. For those poor unfortunates who have not yet transcended to Geek levels, girls remain a mystery and a source of idolisation.
While for the Geeks, those who have tried girls and prefer computers / RC Helicopters / D&D etc thank you very much, girls have little value, the nerds disadvantage themselves by being susceptible to everything and anything a female says or does or asks for.
Now, I've been aware of a few "Girl Card" situations in my time. These are defined as:- "A person behind internet anonymity overtly claiming to be female to obtain goods, services or favours they couldn't get if they claimed to be male"
The most recent Girl Card I saw played was a harrassment petition. Now, you only need to have petitioned something once to know that GMs don't give a stuff. But, play the Girl Card, and you get a Petition To Warning time of less than five minutes.
This doesn't really give the Girl Card player much of an advantage though. What works in Eve is ISK. Now, my negotiator in corporate ransoms is actually female, and she plays the Girl Card like an expert. That comes with 28 years of practice. So far, the Girl Card has netted our enterprise over 300 million isk. While playing without the Girl Card has netted more like 20 million isk.
Now, 300 million is not going to put a hole in the male's pocket is it? We're strictly small time, this isn't an e-peen thread.
Quite the opposite, this is an e-vag thread.
So what I am interested in is, does anybody have a truely classical "Girl Card" moment? Whether or not the player of the card was really female. Sure I love to hear about GM's being suckered in, but such stories cannot place a definitive ISK value on the Girl Card.
I'd like to know, do you own a Tech Two Girl Card, and are you a billionare?
What is the ISK value of the Girl Card?

I made a Blood Elf character in WoW once, I took all my clothes off and danced for randoms in a city for money.
I made 15 gold.
Good times.

The Girl Card is extremely effective.
If you play WoW, do not play as a male, ever. Only play as a female. And remember, obviously, you are a hot 18-year-old chick IRL.
(Rule 1 of the internet: if she's hot, doesn't have a mic, and doesn't have a camera, its a guy)

Well obviously when asked, she claims she looks good.

i don't have a link, but I remember a service in the Sell forum that was something like 150k isk per 5 minutes of Teamspeak chat with a girl. Never heard how much isk it made though.

Whats a girl???????
But seriously i think we've all tried it at some point on a random MMO freetrial whereby you run around as a hawt female char and try to make cash its good for a laugh but i never pay out on them anymore ^^
I did however manage to accidentally insult a female alliance member while i was drunk on TS the other day >.< ---------

I, male, have been working a job pretending to be a girl for 2.5 years now. I still can't decide whether all the male stupidity I've encountered should make me feel sad or somewhat elitist.
As for the girl card in eve, I know this hawt chick who kind of ends up with director roles everytime about 1 month after she joins a corp... --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me!

My named girl card has made me 0 isk, but then that's probably because I've never used it.

I worked on voice changing software for a company that provides premium rate chat services. It makes me smile to think of all those sad men getting off listening to men pretending to be hawt chicks.
btw, for those that rp females, or those that want to play the Girl Card, you can buy voice changers from eBay for not much money now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Eve is the Linux of MMO games.
I'd be impressed if even 2% of the player base is actually female. Which is a bit of a shame really.

Be impressed!
Originally by: virtual-economy.org What are the user demographics like? Based on what I see in the chat channels, my impression is that the users are a bit older than in your normal fantasy MMORPG?
Magn·s: That's probably right, the average age is about 27 years old. 95% of the users are male and 5% women. Most of them have an education and some kind of a degree. Their average EVE playtime per week is 17 hours.
Source.
Some areas of the game are probably more skewed than that, though.

Edited by: Gealbhan on 14/05/2007 15:38:55 Everyone knows why some guys play female chars, sometimes it about the money or items they get and sometimes it's not.
It's about acceptance, getting the attention they wouldn't get otherwise if they were just being themselves. So you make a female character under the guise of a "Girl Card" or whatever but the real reason is you're just looking for attention, trying to find some kind of social welcoming and maybe for a short time not feel like such an outcast.
Edit: I better make it clear the above is in general and not aimed at the OP in particular or it may be construed as a flame, which it isn't.

Most men play the girlcard better than I do because they know what men want to hear and I don't. I suck at faking stupidity and innocense too I tried it once and decided it would be easier to just blow people up and loot their items, much more time efficient and a lot more fun

I attacked some guy in the same system as 30 other guys in my alliance and 1 guy backed me up.
The next day some chick got ganked in her Myrmidon there was a gang of 12 people travelling 15 jumps to probe down her attacker.
Also the "little kid" card
Somebody on help channel was like "my daddy gave me this game for my birthday but I got no money for a ship" and I gave him 1 mil. Figured meh its just a little kid and its fake pixel money anyway, let him have fun, in RL you might give a little kid a piece of candy, why not in-game.

What girl card...hasn't worked for me in all the time i've played this game!
When i play a female character in a MMO, it's for two reasons. One is roleplay aspect, when you want to play a female character to play a female character. Not really understood by non RP crew. Actually love turning down stuff because i'm a "girl". "What? You throw a couple of gold at me and think i'm yours!?"
And the other is simple:
If i have the choice of watching a pair of bouncing boobs instead of a hairy dwarves butt while i play for several hours a day, the wobbly jubblies win every time.

I saw that figure on Wikipedia but doubted it for obvious reasons
As for myself... yeah virtual skirt . I usually play female in rpgs/eve/whatnot for a couple of reasons. First "my" usual online name is typically taken, and it feels wrong to use another one. And second.. I usually can't find a male portrait/skin/model I like. By picking a female character I don't feel it's *me* so much, so I'm less fussed with the appearance.
