I may be the only one who thinks this would be a good idea. But hear me out. Currently this game is dominated by the male population. I think there are about 6 of us women who actually play on a semi-regular basis. So here's my idea: make it more female friendly.
How do you do this?
1. More female characters. Right now the TG is a female and I think that's it (right?)
2. Make a more "handsome" male hero. Right now the only character I would be interested in taking me out on a date is the barb, and that is because I know he would be able to kick any other guy's a**.
3. Add more magic. Women tend to prefer the fantastical to the brutal.
4. Make the female chars/titans more attractive. They are..well...ugly.......
5. Be more respectful to the girls you DO play with. It has happened where some of the guys I play with have said some very mean things to me (*ahem* iDu!!). This deters women from playing. Whether or not you may like one woman, don't talk bad to her or about her. ALL the other women/girls will find out. We are NOT stupid.
6. Be chivalrous. It takes me longer to pick up on all the ins and outs of this game because before playing this I was not a gamer at all. I have spent many many many hours on this forum reading so that I can try to learn as much as possible. So please be patient with me.
7. Don't think you are going to get laid by any of the girls who come into the game. Its just not going to happen. I know I'm a tease and a flirt, but my heart belongs to someone, and my body goes with.
Maybe this thread would be better served in the guide board, but it does also include some game suggestions. I guess I kinda needed to rant a little bit as well. I'm open to suggestions! Cheers! Demeter

Well, you'll have to talk to Grantly about it. And I don't kow how Mrs. FatherTime would feel about that, unless you forgot about her.

He can change time, watch out ;D hehe yea, there's a reason why he calls himself Fathertime. ;D @ manda: you have some interesting opinions, however, the gaming society is REALLY male dominated, for some reason, and most warriors tend to be... well... men. as with the respect towards girls, u should respect everyone wether guy or girl, here i'm referring to kecia's "code of conduct" thread. ofc. there will always be a couple of assclowns! who doesn't know the meaning of the word "respect". for the chivalry part i can only say this: ask the more experienced players. for my part i always help the noobs with their questions about what to do and how to do it.

If all else fails, a picture of your boobies will usually get the job done... Oh, wait, that wasn't very 'chivalrous' of me. My bad.
I think I posted about this earlier at some point but 2.0 has 4 female heroes... not all of them attractive though.
And the SW is a beefcake.
P.S. nightshade, bonus points for the use of 'assclown' in a post. I'm going to show you a picture of my boobies for that one.

FT can form time into his favor and get anything he wants. By that he's already done it with you and your closest hottest friends....and maybe grant . Also there are 3 female heros: Cleric Ranger Temple Gaurdian (took me awhile to figure out this one was a chick when i first started)

Thanks on the FYI about the female characters. And my boobies are proudly on display on my Facebook page. But I guess you stalkers already new that.
I know, I still have nightmares about FT and his sneaking into my room at night. M Knight Shamalyan doesn't hold a candle to the nightscares FT gave me.
I did read Kecia's post awhile ago, but this is an extension on it. There is one person in particular who has been a complete a** (not assclown, because that is possibly a compliment) towards me. But due to his status, I can't say much about it.
Point is, if you guys don't want to be virgin's the rest of your lives, I'm just trying to pass along a few suggestions!! But, then again, who am I to give advice? Maybe you could ask Grantly how I do....?
Cheers! Demeter

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!
I can handle whatever you have to dish out! Doesn't mean I have to like it.
I assume many of the people on this forum are "virgins" because that is a stereotype that I've seen to be truth. Mainly because most people who play this game are like 13.

Welcome to the slim-pickins world of male-dominated RPG's. Actually it isn't just games, but movies, books, etc.. Male script writers have a huge bias to write male roles. Even Sesame Street is dominated by males, Burt and Ernie, not Burt and Erika.
It took a girl to write for 'Blue's Clue's' to make a female blue dog for kids TV. And a Dora the Explorer was created with the help of a woman.
So bottom line, if you want more feminine RPGs help make them. Guys won't do it for you. And 80% of players are guys. But 99% of RPG creators are totally guys.
While we have a few girl heros in TBR. Look at our quests. They are all manly. Kill this, capture that, bag and tag him etc...
Call FatherTime using the smoke signal, and see if he will let you peek at the quest list and either make a suggestion or create a few.
What would be girly quests? Marry this centaur? Have a baby with that Naga? Go to the bandit camp and make friends, cause the lead bandit guy to fall in love with you and betray his gang? Go into Sparta and find the most wonderful outfit to match your new pink mace?
Actually since girls are relational. We already have the perfect RPG for them. It's called channel CLAN TBR. There you can play a role while flirting with CoZZa our harmless virgin ladies man. He will talk to you real nice and tell you sweet things.
Bottom line be assertive. Make this fantasy world what you want. The boys are. Some guys dream of woman who loves to be bullied, and humiliated, and then quickly responds to any dirty sex talk. They are virgins to everyone else but us. They think we are witty and soooo impressed with our level 198 warlord. Believe you me, guys are trying to act out their dreams...
Go act out yours... Why the hell I'm writing all this... I think my girlfriend hacked this post.

([maroon]1. + 2.[/maroon]) Im not sure how the woman handle this, but the men enjoy playing a girl with weapons and short clothes. Why do you think that there is a girl similar to Jaina in every game? But you could look for a Brad Pitt-Model and make it a hero, that would surely work. 2. ([maroon]4.[/maroon]) Remember, the titans are the bad ones. How would that look if you fight a friendly and nice-looking girl? For example, Persephone fits very good as I think. (We take Gaea out for that) 3. ([maroon]5.[/maroon]) Do not take that too seriously. There are two reasons for the "very mean things" they say: 1. The players who write that are like 12 years old and have less to no behaviour. Or 2. They know they have a girl in they game. If they would be nice to you, then the other boys will say "What?! You are nice to a girl?" and lose their respect for you. Sad thing, but that's how MOST of the younger (Thanks to Beware the Irrational one here) boys think. I do personally think that if you have fun playing this game you should just ignore those brainless assclowns [ ;D ] and report them in the forums.

ok... wow im sorry but you must have completely lost it. being courteous around women, or anyone for that matter, is THE easiest way to gain respect from your peers. i think you're so wrapped up in your machoism that youve forgotten that most people, guys included, tend to distance themselves from the overbearing, brutish or flashy displays others put on. its better to be true to what you believe, rather than be worried of what others might think of you.
