DiuxDium	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:33:00 - [31] Originally by: CCP Eris Discordia 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 Have you tried putting sexy pictures in your bio? ------------- The above user should never be taken seriously.
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:34:00 - [32] Originally by: Sheriff Jones 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. Off topic--but your sig--Star Control II ftw! --23 Member-- Listen to EVE-Trance Radio!
Alexi Borizkova Caldari New Age Solutions New Age Solutions Amalgamated	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:39:00 - [33] Long ago after I first figured out how the whole MMO thing worked, I just decided it would be a lot easier and less time consuming for me to just treat everyone the same, regardless of gender, and not give a damn. It's worked great over the years for the most part. Unfortunately you run into a lot of the "females" that don't appreciate it, and want special attention and rewards for their supposed gender, but you also sometimes get the ones that are just thankful for a group that isn't going to talk down to them or coddle them for their gender. Also, my personal rule is to only refer to people by their ingame gender and character name. I don't care if you sound like gravelly voiced bubba on teamspeak, if your name is barbie ingame that's what I'll call you, and I'll use the female pronoun in reference to you.

Janu Hull Caldari Order of Z Industries	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:04:00 - [35] Guess I'm an anomaly in terms of meeting women through gaming... 1 resulted in a face to face meeting with plenty of sex. 2 resulted in webcam shows for my eyes only. I couldn't tell you the number of airtime minutes I've spent listening to things that would make a sailor blush whispered in my ear. Guess I'm lucky like that. This is my sig, there are many others just like it. With me, my sig is worthless. Without (or with even) my sig, I am worthless...

SC3 is widely considered one of the worst sequels of all time. The creators of the Star Control series even consider it non-canon, its so bad. --23 Member-- Listen to EVE-Trance Radio!
Sheriff Jones Amarr Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United Cult of War	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:08:00 - [45] Thanks Dark Shikari and...i know it does Read my bio ingame sometime. Starcontrol 2 hasn't left my computer since it came out. Always in some folder, stashed away. When the 3do came out, was flabercasted. Even made a mix for the starbase commander, but, it wasn't that good. No matter how often(every now and then) you go through it, it's still the same game, same goodness all around. Bring out Starcontrol Online! So far i just fit my ships and name 'em accordingly...EVE is a great semi-SC aid.
Bistot Kid The First Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:18:00 - [46] This is the first time I've admitted it, but I'm a lady who plays Eve. I have decided to use a male avatar and name specifically because every time I play as a real woman with a female in game persona I always get bothered by men in the game. So gif me ISK now !1111!! you sexy sexy men. I am a bird honest! More seriously ... Men with a male avatar = 80% Men with a female avatar = 19.999% Women with a female avatar = 0.00001% Women with a male avatar = none whatsoever? ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------
Lazuri	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:32:00 - [47] The only person who gets e-monies is my girlfriend. Otherwise, everybody else is a guy, because I have a very good chance of being right.

Graphics, story, races and ships. Just like X-COM Apoc >>> X-COM TFTD.

Only because I'm bored, and I could use a good argument.

The Lesson Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.05.14 19:54:00 - [55] Edited by: The Lesson on 14/05/2007 19:52:27 Originally by: Derovius Vaden Yes, yes you do. Only because I'm bored, and I could use a good argument. In short: Toys for Bob chose not to do an SC3 because Accolade got greedy. They expected number 3 to be done with the same money as was required to finish number 2 - the same amount of money that had left the developer unpaid for 6 months. So Accolade got Legend to do it. Result? "Less humour, overly grey atmosphere bad characterisation and design, poorly crafted plot and many others." Also, the addition of instantaneous warp travel left travelling to other systems a bit... sterile. [EDIT] It appears posting with this character earlier borked my settings a little. --------------------------- School is in session

Elder Scrolls offers the same option. Virtua Fighter lets you choose female fighters. Tomb Raider forces you to play as a woman. Even 3D Ant Attack gave you a choice: Boy or Girl? What do you have to say about the people who choose to play the woman in those games. --------------------------- School is in session

I never played those other games you mentioned, found them cheap marketing tools made to lure easy prey.

I never played those other games you mentioned, found them cheap marketing tools made to lure easy prey. If I'd only mentioned TR I'd agree with you. But 3D Ant Attack's selling point was the isometric viewpoint that developer Sandy White pioneered - ZX game, y'see. As for VF I don't see how the inclusion of female characters by that point was a mere marketing tool. Unless you find metallic cyborgs using the body of a ninja's mother kinky. I myself have come from Guild Wars, and I have always played male characters in that game. Still do. Excluding the one point where I decided to make an 'accountant' character for my guild. I made a Female Mesmer. Bizarrely, I didn't have to do anything different - not even try to act like a girl - to fool someone, which was purely unintentional. Of course when I was forced to point out that I was a guy... the reaction was... "that's sad." And I have no idea why I made this Alt a Jin-Mei woman either. --------------------------- School is in session
