I wonder: is deadlocke the only girl here?

humbaba

<div class="IPBDescription">Is it just my imagination or . . .</div>Hey, this is kind of odd to think about. I think deadlocke may be the only female member of the NS community. Think about it . . when do you recall another post by a female. Prove em wrong if you will. Than again, perhaps a better question might be: I wonder how many mods have a lower boy/girl ratio. Odds are, quite a few. Just my idle thoughts . <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Hmm, I thought about this as well.. and I thought that.. IT DOESN'T MATTER ^_^ Really, I mean, does it matter if someone is a male or female on the net? It shouldn't really change the way you interact with them, and you won't really make any contact with them besides text, unless of course you're clanmates or such and use VC.
And as to how many there are... For all you KNOW deadlocke is the only one, maybe there are others who hide their gender because of inquisitive posts like this <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Bozman is right.  The thing I cant stand is girls coming on the net and saying they are girls just out of nowhere.  I was playing tribes, got in an APC and the pilot was going to nowhere land.  I said "Pilot where the hell are you going?"  She said "I am a girl."  I said "Wow, I'll have to file that under things I dont care about -- I set you a waypoint, follow it!"

I had a sister that played online games and when she joined her first clan no one knew she was a girl untill about 3 weeks later when someone asked.  I strongly dislike girls that just show up and talk about their 'ex-boyfriend' or other crap no one cares about becuase they are girls.  Like that makes a difference?

Anyways -- Jessica should be the #ns offial idler.  Only I have the power to wake her up with the power of a poke.  Jessica was the first girl in the ns community, that we know of.

Poor mart gets pwned again.

And I must agree with steve.  I was actually a member of the clan that steve was referring to.  His sister (alias ShadowCat and later, XTS_Kitty) was really cool, and it made no difference whether she was a girl or not, she still kicked ### in Rogue Spear, and when you're online that's all that matters.  If they want to let it be know, then let them tell us <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

humbaba

Oh of course it doesnt matter. What am I gonna do, catch E-Cooties. It just makes a difference in the way some thigns can be interpreted. Plus, Its no good making uncouth and dirty jokes around women.

Mart

And here i was about to make the EXACT SOME JOKE at Fam's expense... but more subtly and edged towards him trying on skirts at the weekend... and i'd probably have gotten here first were it not for, you know, having a life...

BAD FAM... I'm afraid that because of that i'm not going to be able to fix your oven until next week.

JasonBostwick

In regards to SentrySteve's post.. I have some sad news.

I think this will tell the tale better than I ever could.

[19:46:54] *** Jessica has left #naturalselection
<span style='color:black'>Steve will never get to fix her oven</span>
There it is boys. The final departure of our official idler, Jessica. May she rest in peace.

SentrySteve

Boz - I already have..

Dont you guys worry, I will get her back!  I promise you! I will!

DONE!!!!

I convinced her that she gives the best hugs!  She then came back!

Slycaster

Heh, i tak to jess alot though in other channels, she is in my CS clan and such, but yeah, aside from jessica in the community, i doubt there has ever been another girl, and i can understand why someone wouldn't want there gender to be revealed, this is a male dominant society in general, it's not right to single someone out, and just gawk over someone, i bet deadlocke wants to be treated like every other kid here (equally, unless you really want it too stand out that your a girl, thats fine too, either way some will still treat you like your any other person, hopefully thats ok??), so we should leave it at that <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> I know this post wasn't ment to be harmful or anything, but you shouldnt really put someone on the spot like that, its rude <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

Although, really, nobody idles in #naturalselection.  I, for example, just go into Overwatch.  Whenever something interesting happens in the channel (i.e. someone mentions my name or several key words) I get beeped, ensuring that I don't miss anything I might deem important.  Yeah, see that joke again.  It was pretty good, wasn't it?

Mart

*** Joins: Jessica
<SentrySteve> AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!! SHE IS BACK!!
<BoZmAn20> YeS
<Mart> WB JESSICA!
<SentrySteve> yayayayayYAYAYAYAYAYyaYAYAYAYAYA

<Mart> *Zzziipppp*
<BoZmAn20> YES!
<PowderBurnt> yayayayay
<F4WN> Hah hah... Wow, you guys.
<Chalupamonk> welcome back
<PowderBurnt> she smells good


...need i say more?

JasonBostwick

I'm not too sure about the others, but I know that Steve and I were celebrating, not because she is female and in our channel, but because she is the legendary idler! Now that the infamous Aut|borta is gone, we need someone to fill the gap.

Slycaster

yes, that there is an example of 15 year old hormone driven boys... and well, a bit of marts sarcastic humor, which is all good, but seroisly, whats with that? all i said was shes back, and everyone goes spaztastic, its like... man, if gamer girls only knew that we would do whatever we want for them ever, they could rule us or sumthing? eep, said to much!

/me hides

SentrySteve

If we could get jess back, we can get aut.  He isn't on now, but when he is -- its come back to #ns time so ebby can bake you cakes and other goods.

Slycaster

For this one, im all for it, we need aut back, he's like THE idler legend, in all his time of being here, i think hes spoken no more then 10 lines.

JasonBostwick

I know he has spoken more than that.. he always greeted me..

<aut|borta> Hi BoZmAn20 <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
<BoZmAn20> OMG YOU SPOKE!
<aut|borta> I'm going to idle now!
<BoZmAn20> Goodbye, I hope you have many fun adventures.

Deadlocke666

is it so hard to imagine that a Girl would like to play Video games?? Video games are Fuggin cool, they make you all pale and pretty, and you forget what time it is, and sunlight burns your skin and lets not forget the need to drink blood and fly arou.....



wait, we were talking about Girls and Games right?

heh........heh...........ummm........yeah


Video games are chock full of Fun happy good Gooey chewy things

Slycaster

damnright deadlocke!

Hida_Tsuzua

I do know that my younger sister is a gamer.  She's more of a RPGer though.  Not very good at FPSes yet, she jumps too easily.  However she does know the Training Mode of Half-Life by heart.

Moleculor

ROTFL!

Vampires are cool. So are girls who play games, like my cousin.

Speaking of burned skin, I was out in the sun yesterday and got sunburned. 2nd degree burns on my arms and neck (blisters and everything). I'm a vampire. Gotta be.

Sgt_X

i can never convince my sister to play anything other than sims, rpgs, and webbased stuff like neo-pets.
My mom has tried fps but she realy can only play sp no matter what she says. her cooridanation is just bad in game, she leaves her clips over half empty and does a million other things wrong. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->  it's painful to watch.

Zero7

o.o; wow, I find that I play with more girl gamers than guy gamers at least once a week <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> well, maybe it's because the girl is the dominant gender of gamers here, but eh, maybe that's just me. I ain't complainin' though <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Oh, stats are that Girl Gamers are moving into StarCraft & BroodWar. You can't get through 3 games without running into a girl now =/

SentrySteve

Deadlocke666 -- we were talking about girls in NS community then it switched to idlers. Now we are talking about getting idlers back. <span style='color:black'>Does deadlocke even read the thread or does he (OMG! Yes I said he!) just post random things about him trying to be a girl.  My god.</span>
Anyway -- if you are an Fourm goer and you have never tried out mIRC shame on you! <span style='color:black'>Expect dead, please DONT come to irc</span>

Banan

Uuuuuuhm,
Isn't Shoven a girl?

pielemuis

erm no banan, at least i don't think so (pretty sure he isn't d:) )

Kassinger

'Uh, I always thought you were a girl Banan, har har. Ehhr...'

Seriously though, I only know girls playing the sims and such around here where I live...

My English dictionary is convinced that my name is only a girls name, though I disagree. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

I know I am going a little off topic from the off topic of this off topic post. I just wan't to say that I did not mean to put deadlocke on the spot. sorry  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->.

Banan

I'm pretty sure Shoven is a girl!
She posted a picture of herself (kissing her dog) and a drawing that she made herself...
hmmm, Shoven, clear things up!

shoven

LOL, I'm not a girl...
<a href="http://pants.netfirms.com/me1.jpg" target="_blank">Does this honestly look like a girl to you?</a>
I feel bad because I PMed Jess asking her to come back, and, dunno, I just feel bad.
