23936, Male vs female
Posted by incognito on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Isn't CF a bit biased towards female characters?

More female only gear than male only. Some rather nice.

An area aggro to males, not females.

A subset of players that will bend over backwards for females (even if they are being played by males).

Any chance we could balance this out a bit?

Can minotaurs be turned permanently female by eating those grapes?

Yes, yes they can. I use to run around giving them to Minotaurs for fun.
23937, 51% of CF vs. 49% of CF...not interested

Yeah...in the grand scheme it really isn't biased towards females.
23938, I'll have to take your word for it

Personally I can name a number of nice female only items of gear, but the only male only ones that I can name are rubbish.

Admittedly I don't know hell.

...if the chick in front of you is played by a dude.

- The words "buxom", "plump", "voluptuous", or "bosom" is in the description.

- She keeps reaching down to "adjust", realizes her mistake, and tries to play it off before you notice.

- She's friends with Graatch.

- She speaks with a Russian accent

- There are no grooming products in her sack, only month-old rations, ale, and a copy of "Playtroll" magazine

- She doesn't even thank you when you buy her an epic mount

- She uses hydrophobia as an excuse to not take a bath

- She has a beard and isn't a dwarf

- She's a powergamer

- She wolf whistles every time another "buxom" babe walks by

- You have no problem with her leading the group

- She's not a member of the Fortress


I think that's enough to make me burn in Hell as it is. *ducks*
23941, That is pretty damn funny.

In the grand scheme of things, those aren't that big of a deal. I've had my share of female characters, and the only one I ever used was the gown of white samite. Or...something like that.

Being able to have the run of sirine island is nice, but there are still better places to hide if that's what you're going for.

I've tried a female storm giant warrior dualing those female-only axes. They can be pretty nice. Its not the best gear, but I think it's good for the midranks when nothing else is easily available.

Also, it's a pretty decent place to spam for an invoker.
