    I would have to agree with Moquiao, I play games because I enjoy them and they are <b>not</b> a dating service... =)

    people are very hung up about gender... like no disrespect to lanfear... but she seems to have a like mini fan club forming.. purely cos she is female.. i game cos i enjoy it and it relaxzes me i dont do it to hook up lol <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Yeah, pure equality is the best way to go about these things. Agreed Moquiao.

    --------------------------

    If people are overly flagrant online about things like this, I either begin to doubt them, or become confused. There is always the /ignore command though.

    I think Ralph Waldo Emerson had a good quote on that though; something about a guy proclaiming his honesty too much at a dinner party and the host and his wife hiding all their silverware soon after.

    Y'know, that really makes me want to make a game where women get more HP. And combat boots. Infact, new change to NStxt, as of right now, if you enter your gender as female, you start with 101 hp. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Two guys changed their names to girl names like asurka(funny) and michelle, both good players and known well on a server. Also this is in ns. Then after they changed their name and played like an hour or so people start saying your pretty good for a girl (Also note their acting like girls and they're doing this to see how many people would hit on them). And so and so...

    I have two female friends and a fiancee. All three play games (One plays starcraft, the other two are into Heroes of Might and Magic). All three of them usually use non-gendered names online because of all of the idiots who pester them when they use names that sounds like a girl's name.

    My sisters are both girls, but they only play rarely. But when they play the get annoyed because of those people coming and shouting "OMG ur t3h 1337 pwnz0r g1rl!!111!11eleven Hwo 0ld r u? H3ight? Wh3r3 d0 u l1ve?!?!?!11ß1" I see the same thing happening in NS when there's a girl on the server.... Like when a girl enters all the boys behave like being in kindergarten...

    wouldn't it would be funny if off-topic turned into an ns-centric online dating forum? people would post pics of esuna saying it was a pic of themselves and they would say on their profiles that they were into stuff like "gorg-play" hehehe

    Yes, that is him in his profile.

    search through the post your pic thread and you can find many (amusing) pics of him..

    In my experience, many women are treated as though they are 11-year-old boys until they clarify why their voice is much higher than the male players are used to hearing in a game.
