Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

[Jdvn1]

I wish I had more friends, so I could play in a Stargate game. Bought the rulebook and everything, and then Sony bought MGM and turned down AEG's book deal, so they're not continuing the series. I was pissed.

- Kemrain the Disapointed.

I have some friends that wanted to play a Stargate game, but I don't roleplay Sci-Fi very much. Not generally my cup of tea.

It isn't at all as hard as people make it out to be. I don't understand the dificulty of switching your persona from male to female. Then again, I might be a mite bit biased in this department.

- Kemrain the Biased.

The only ones that have probs with it are guys who turn their female characters into nothing more than chainmail bikini-wearing whores. Which is just plain wrong, not to mention stupid!

 

[Darth K'Trava]

I know. There was a thread a while back about males not being able to play female characters. The people who said that they couldn't were just plain wrong, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, I had people out of character use my character *as an example* of a female character that was played by a female and not a male when others brought up the fact that most female characters in MMOs are being played by males.

In text, anyone can be ambiguous. (and we're not talking about Kemrain here) Unless someone said what their gender was, we'd have no clue and assume male unless corrected otherwise.

Hehehe. congratulations. You've discovered the joys of confusng people's ideas of gender. I enjoy doing that, as it's a rather trivial way to completely blow someone's mental image of you totally out of whack. It's strange how important a person's sex is to us, especially americans. It's a pity those gender threads get nasty so quickly. I love these ideas.

- Kemrain the Gendered.

I did that for about 2-3 years when I used to play a male ranger.... He got called "she" sooo many times, it became unfunny after awhile. The only one I didn't correct was the DM (for obvious reasons!). But it got to the point, with this one guy, that it might've become a brawl over the whole issue. My 5'6" half-elf ranger vs. his 6'4" human cleric....

I think it's because his player keeps having to leave the game early.

- Kemrain the Convinced the TV Show is Based Off the RPG and Not the Other Way Around.

Bad things happen when you leave the game early.....

People die....

I'm happier if I assume everyone is a hot Asian female, whether or not they insist otherwise.

I like how you think.

Leave your wet dreams outta this!

Leave your wet dreams outta this!

Or at least provide pictures!

Anyone could be ambiguous, but I was specifically trying to roleplay "female" in this case. And it apparently worked.
