Title: THIS is waaaaaaay OT
Post by: Razor on March 31, 2002, 09:55:59 am
Are there any girl members on this bord or is Freespace only a game reserved for boys. I saw some girls on VBB but what's with this?

Any comments

Setekh's friend icespeed is a girl! :nod: I don't know if she ever played FS or Iwar or if she just joined because of the Steak, but yes HLP has a whopping ONE GIRL MEMBER!
and to answer the question, of course we could use girls here!

as far as I know, Icespeed doesn't play freespace, but we've got a lady in the Squadwar part of the forum - Delphinia (sorry, if I misspelled the name). So that makes two, out of 650. A good 0,3% :D

Agree!! Life wouldn't be fun without girls ;) :lol:

And Freespace is LIFE! :D

Well, hmmm yeah that may be right! :D

But what would come on the first place? Girls or Freespace? Tough one eh? ;)

ahem - that's what they talk about...

 I know a group of girls in my common room that are... errr... that way inclined.
 I'm well proud of my acheivment in the common room though- apparently a load of the girls in the common room fancy me (or used to at least). Then they got to know me, and my whole Philosophy of "I'll make a fool of myself sooner or later, so I might as well do it deliberatly".
 A lot of "Manly Dancing", running over tables, diving behind chairs then crawling under tables to avoid being filmed and acting like an animatronic dummy doing the whole thumbs up fixed grin head rotating thing ensued.
 Yes, that's right, I'm back, and I have the chickens with me, in this box marked "Chickens". Fear the chickens... when I have time, an invasion is iminent ;)

Girls were talking about BGRs eons before boys even knew BGRs existed. It's a matter of perspective. :)

They might be smart enough to use them, but unfortunately they do not possess the raw genotype-reliant muscle mass required to wield them...

If they did, they'd be men. ;)

                           Cute Gurl v2.0


                         

By donning the mask of Cute Gurl v2.0, one is given the
                            freedom to write whatever they like while avoiding
                            all traditional forms of grammar and punctuation.
                            Cute Gurl v2.0 is best not used on forums inhabited
                            by males under the age of 20, or else other forum
                            members have a high chance of changing into Mr. Aggressive
                            when responding to posts. Use of emoticons and other
                            ASCII art is highly encouraged, as is the act of referring
                            to everybody as "hunny", "sweetie",
                            and "cutie." In other words, try to be an
                            online slut who's entire diet consists of pig troughs
                            full of sugar. Whenever another Cute Gurl v2.0 comes
                            online, the sheer idiocy in the forums will increase
                            at least twelvefold. The Cute Gurls v2.0 should greet
                            each other with outrageously annoying phrases like
                            "hey baybee!!!!!!!!" and "luv u hunny!!!!!!"

       

EXAMPLES.
                Cute Gurl v2.0 will post the following messages:

         

                         
Counter-Strike
                            forum:
"hey whats this game how do i install
                            it thx allot bye!!!!! : P~~~~~~~"

                            Star Trek forum: "u ever see the one with
                            the Tribbels? they were {{{{{{{{{{SO CUTE}}}}}}}}}}}
                            can i get those anywhere like stuffed animals or something?!?
                            love ya thx, bye!!!"

                            Honda Civic forum: "do the cars come in
                            red??? thats my boyfriends color and weve been going
                            out for 2 months now hes so cute his names Jeremy
                            and he likes Slipknot!!! thx bye!!! :o)"

I made her a mission where she fights in a Perseus against 2 wings of Mara fighters and she wasted them down for about 3 minnutes. And I say again, she is 11 years old. ;) In 3 years she is gonna kick your ****s on PXO.

My 10-year old brother sucks at just about every game because he cheats all the time. Really, I have never seen him playing a game normally. :p

Anyway, on the internet, males and females are almost exactly the same (in real life too, for that matter) as far as I can tell, so it wouldn't really matter. ;)

What if all of us that are posing and males are actually females? ;7

I know how you feel, my friends use strategy guides for everything.. and they still suck! I mean, who uses guides for RPGs? What's the fun....

And I really don't think males are really female like - the girls at my school tend to think us males are insane, although I tend to be able to communicate with them normally.

And if you're all females (I'm male and I know it :p) I'm running... :D
