I tried (begged) my wife to play, but she told me NO. She's too honest and nice to play this game. She told me I am too much of a self-righteous stabby bastard. :\
Cant blame you for trying

Just tell her not to play with you then. Before either of us enter into a game we make sure the other isn't playing since we both prefer anon gunboat.

But, really I understand. I don't really play press games much cause of time and cause I'm much to trusting of my allies. I'm still learning so it's been a hard curve.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

She doesn't like the lying and stabbing part. She would be what I would call a "care bear" Diplomacy player, and she isn't that good at gunboats, partly because she just doesn't care for the game. That's ok. She plays RPG games with me so I am more than happy with that.
I'm pretty sure she has lied many times before...if you don't want to stab or lie dont then, but you cannot prevent other players from doing so

And there's a lot to be said about not telling the full truth. But yay for the rpg player. Need more female players of those too.
I tell ya sometimes females RUIN games instead...no offends and not talking to at you :)

By dragging players away from actually playing? Or however do you mean?
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

I don't know what you are talking about KoP. I wish there were more female players in chess, Diplomacy, and RPG. Diplomacy would be a very very different game if there were more females players, especially if they are in the same game.
We are waiting for Diablo 3 to come out so we can play together. :)
Celticfox (100 D(B))
14 Mar 12 UTC
Omg yes. My husband built himself a hackntosh just so he could play DIablo 3 on a decently priced puter. I wish I could talk him into SWTOR but he's just not into Star Wars.
I used to play an iPod game (not going to give nam e) that was fun and aentertaining multiplayer game. However, recently a bunch of females began playin and its more of a dating service now than a video game. Literally. Half the messages: "wanna sex?" "What's ur number?" "Ok text you later", etc. Even I have received numerous offers.

Anyways, its no fun once females joined the game :/ now more chatting then fighting

As much as I hate to say it..yes they are...
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

KoP, I don't think you know what you are talking about.
@Celticfox, do you play RPG games? Are you and your husband interested in playing D3 with us if the damn game ever comes out?

How the hell do you know? That's like saying a player on WoW who messages you like that is for sure a woman.
They got videos of them playing the game...anyways this is offfopic mind getting back on Krellin?

I've played for several years and have met plenty of female dip players. Some are open about it, some don't want to get harassed by overly flirty nerds.

Crazyter and djbent are some of the best players I've come up against (especially Crazy... she stomps my ass routinely). I'm not "using their gender as my weakness" nor are they "using their gender to their advantage." Their gender isn't something that ever came up, there was no flirting, just straight up diplomacy. If someone saw the history of the messaging, they'd not know the other player was female. They just are really good players (as their GR has shown).

@Zultar And yes I play RPG I've played WoW until I got bored and currently play SWTOR with the stereotypical healer character for a woman. And I'd have to check with him about playing D3 but I don't see why not.

-Celticfox, a woman, posts in this thread. THIS thread.

Agreed with FK. It was a great pleasure to play against both Crazy and DJ. Pandora, not so much : ) Never got a chance to play against Akroma. And, that's all the female Dip players on this site I can recall.

There are a number of girls the PC gaming community I'm a part of. I really don't notice them being treated any differently than anyone else.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
14 Mar 12 UTC
Not anymore. When I was in high school (bout 10 years ago) I was one of only a handful that I knew of. Shock and awe were common reaction. As well as some girls taking advantage of guys wanting to help a poor girl out. Made me sick when women did it then (cause really I can do anything a guy can do in game) and makes me very happy that people are more aware of people like that now.

What is natural?
There have been some arguments and discussions in the forum about what is and what is not natural, particularly in the case of filial cannibalism instincts in human beings and animals. Can we find a consensus on what 'natural' constitutes or can we not escape the fact that 'natural' is in part a socially-constructed concept?

Is, for example, homosexuality any less natural than masturbation?

Freedom of speech on a private server
I realise this has probably been discussed before, probably a dozen times, but as it has been an issue brought up in a number of threads recently, I thought I'd create one where people could discuss and put their thoughts on the issue into a centered discussion. Are there limitations to freedom of speech on a private server? I certainly enjoy the extent to which we have freedom of speech on this private server. What does everyone else think?

So I'm thinking about getting more fuel efficient in life...
I only have a 5 mile drive to work and plenty of sub 45 MPH backroads. So I've been thinking about a "scooter" type vehicle like a Vespa or a Honda PCX or Silverwing... Any suggestions on what I should look at? Oh, and up to 10K or 11K is permissible so low end cruiser motorcycles work if they have some storage for a laptop bag.

How can only one player in a game get banned for being a multi. Surely to make it effective your multi accounts have to play in the same game. The aptly named 'Notacheater' was banned as a multi after taking place in one game but no-one else in that game was banned, how does that work?
