oops wrong window nothing to see here...

NOOO just did this quest today I liked Jaxo I think she and my trooper could have been buds you know those few hrs of downtime Garza allowed us hanging out with the girls. The worst part of this quest is the after mail I just got from Keran with the item that she knows Jaxo would have wanted me to have. I wish there was a way we could have just saved her and the other prisoners this quest is horrible for the heartstrings.

That's good to know about Quinn I really like the way he is though the professional types are always stuffy at first then more fun later (at least it seems that way with Jorgan to he was such a hard case now hes requesting others go on leave so we can have alone time lol). I am really not impressed with my smugglers romance though if they put same sex stuff in I may go with Spar over Corso shes way tougher looking and acting and doesn't shove you around like a child lol. The Vette romance sounds like fun I still don't understand the Iresso thing honestly by the time I got him it was like meh another person on my consulars ship that I had no want for. Future companions will probably be just as rushed for that class to it seems to me they want you to prefer to stay alone at least that was the only option I felt choosing since Zenith is not an option. Tharan gave me the willies from the beginning I had a feeling he was all freaky for his hologram so I mostly ignored flirt options with him. And Doc maybe over sexed and had far more ex girlfriends then I liked but coming from my sage's story line it was a breath of fresh air

Returning player here and definitely have my gripes with the romances. As my signature points out why can't my consular romance Zenith? He is much more dynamic then Iresso who you get far to late in the story line to care for. I am enjoying Aric Jorgan more then I thought I would, it took a lot of work to get him even in flirt mode but it hasn't been too bad. Doc was okay for me as well specially coming off of playing a consular who has the worst romance options in the game to me Quinn is shaping up to me to be another Aric type im going to have to work harder for him think its because I am playing an alien? I dunno I like my twi'lek sith though. And Corso what the hell man? ..seriously it was like something from freaking kindergarten (put the text in spoilers just in case someone hasn't gotten that far with the goofy country boy yet). And seriously flirt options still suck heck id even take female on female flirt options at this point because the male ones are boring. Even that Alderaan noble for my smuggler *yawn* Though I will say I did enjoy making Aric jealous with that SIS agent wish I could have taken that a little further

so coming off a bad couple of days where I didn't get much gaming in I figured no way this thread would still be going considering how "pointless" some deemed it. Needless to say I am shocked, there were some really good reads, some really odd reads and some repeats of "oh she just wants attention." Id say go back and read but this darn thread is over 50 pages long now So I repeat with a chuckle because after the week ive had getting angry just seems pointless. 1. This was tongue in cheek, I think most who took this thread seriously really did not read my whole OP even quoted it but did not see that it was not serious nor read things like "I am not an expert" And "Feel free to correct me if I am wrong" and "I do not speak for all females" but hey what ever I know I have selective read before and gone off on soap box tangents so 2. This was not to incite a gender war, I don't get why declaring I am female and talking about some misconceptions means anything like that but hey people take what they want out of what they read and until we all become borg I honestly can't expect people to understand the workings of my mind. 3. Some people are really good with the insults I have to say I laughed at some of the barbs, I know my grammar is not great, I often forget commas especially when getting long winded but definitely had to chuckle at my misspellings and other flaws pointed out by the more perfect forum posters. 4. Finally and seriously this was an attention post, any time I post on the forums its to showcase what I know or what I think I know, I honestly don't give a rat's hiney what others think of that either. If I did id be too timid to post period. I can roll with the punches so those getting all haughty over me posting this because "I am just seeking attention.." Well considering I do a pod cast I love to talk about gaming and I enjoy posting on forums yeah you pretty much summed up the attention part. So what do you want now? A cookie? I bake those to To the G-spot ladies who continued to post while I was dealing with real life issues and to all who just had fun or even talked about what you gone threw thanks. I am glad some people are having fun in this thread that is what it was meant to be about. I can just laugh at the more angry folks I think if I had posted a thread saying "I like puppies" they would have found a reason to tear that down to so I am not going to get worked up over those posts.

I definitely like my scoundrel so far sneaking up and tranquilizing mobs kicking them in the nethers the whole stealth slip in get the task done and get out is so much fun. The rogue class is one of my favorite D&D classes to.

Okay so catching up again my preference probably was stated awhile back met my boyfriend gaming and it makes things easier on us he gets my gaming habits and I his I don't think it would work for me dating someone who didn't game at least a little. Thing is he is console and I am pc mmo rpg so it works out we don't over lap much into each others games and gives us enough space where were not constantly bugging each other. as to this thread being pointless I still argue that its not, I already made several new friends male and female joined a fun group learned that there are plenty of women gaming in this game from all walks of life and its nice to read the comments even the more off the wall ones. Why does this have to turn serious? Why cant people stop trying so hard to be "Enlightened" and just relax post stuff in this thread that maybe they thought was too over the top when it comes to female gamers and get a laugh? I am really finding it hard to understand all the seriousness about things. Calling attention to my gender is not a crime last I checked nor is pointing out in a fun way some of the silly things ive seen. And if some want to talk about being uncomfortable being hit on have at it but honestly ive seen more good post from people then anyone crying about being oppressed or how horrible men are.

No mirrors on my pc but definitely catch myself using the dark screen between loads sometimes lol. I worry more about my characters appearance when I am gaming I save my preening for when I need to. I hope this thread doesnt close despite what some have tried to do this discussion is still a fun tongue in cheek poke us gals who like to game. Despite the whole "you dont need to speak up for your gender" posters those who had to turn it into their own personal soap boxes there has been some really fun responses. And getting to see there are others in this game gives me hope I used to run all ladies raids in another mmo so thanks to whoever made that suggestion to. Once a month meeting up for some fun grouping was nice even had to roll up alts on other servers but it was worth it. To those who took this thread really seriously I honestly am sorry you thought this was a serious discussion now that I have said it well over ten times that its not maybe relax have some fun and add your own "facts" or not but please dont stress out im not trying to start a new feminist movement if I was youd all know about it by now And thanks for the tip Kirameki i'll have to check that brand out I had a bad incident with Mary Kay once and since then I really avoid make up.

I came I read I loled Since my smuggler is all brash and flash Id go sparkly for any bra though transparent is tempting

agreed

a woman with allergies (did I mention im a nerd?) avoids the hassle of finding make up that wont make her face look like road rash after taking it off anyway. Not really worth the hassle of putting it on when I have someone who thinks I am beautiful without it to.

currently since the only one involved in a romance is my Jedi knight I think I may make my first male character a son from that union though not sure don't feel comfy playing a male but don't think I can play another female Jk and romance doc again that just seems silly.

um the fact thing was tongue in cheek in my original post I even said I am not an authority just wanted to poke some fun at gender sterotypes. And agreed Cynomen when I don't have braids a ponytail suffices and I try to avoid wearing make up as much as possible lol.

I like adding the ette to it makes it sound cute

lol I use geekette to or just nerd for myself currently my hair is braided so that helps a lot with down time for hair styling (Plus im on a Michonne kick ala walking dead so wanted to try to get my hair looking like hers and have my first sword in hopefully the start of a budding collections of Katana's ^_^) I don't really indulge in make up unless I have a business meeting find that stuff annoying makes my skin irritated and is unneeded to me most of the time. And the only down time I have trouble balancing is that thing called sleep I need between caring for my son earning a living and gaming I sometimes manage to get some of that and make time for my significant other when hes not currently trying to unlock his next game achievement lol.

about the buffing I try to return the favor when I remember to a lot of times people will cast on me in the cantina when I am afk. If they run by and cast I am not thinking they are doing it for my benefit and don't really want to chase them down to return the favor. I play alone a lot due to random afk's with my kid or business so unless I know I have real down time for myself I don't want to put that kind of pressure on a group. It worked out well in other games I played due to guild members not minding me having to step away from time to time, but since most of my friends who got me into this game have quit I am on my own and don't expect strangers to understand my need to step away every once in awhile. I will say this the experience I have had with grouping in this game were not all bad but they did not feel necessary to be honest. Outside the latest elite my sentinel is having troubles with on Corelia I have been able to get threw most quests with no assistance and it hasn't bothered me. And I used to love grouping since I used to be heavy into raids and the like but now just enjoying the story lines have sustained me.

I like Hallowed Voice but I can't see him giving up his primary goal the guide to his own people to be our companion. I like that he is willing to fight for me and having his warriors as back up is kick arse but I just don't see him devoting himself personally not till his people have a true place to settle and get retribution for the wrong that was done to them. I do love the title I got for him though I took ember fist despite what my sweetie Zenith thinks about such things lol.

I was thinking the same thing so boring not having a love triangle specially with the potential the consular could have had between Zenith and Iresso :/ bleh.

See this is what I am talking about fun and yes I am very careful when I drink around my pc I have lost two laptops to rum accidents :/ I joined the G-spot looks like a fun place so far and it lets me upload pictures which I am a picture taking addict specially in games ^_^ As for Tanking I haven't found a game since ddo where I felt the need to make one and my paladin in ddo was fun to play. I may try a tank in this game once I am finished with my smuggler though but definitely enjoy dps over all even with my healers currently have my sage spec to do nice damage with her pebbles ^_^ and sometimes I remember I can heal to

I will have to check that out. Hmm seriously did not know how to respond to some of the more ridiculous stuff I went back and read so don't think I will. I am aggressive used to debate a lot back in school so its no wonder I will latch on when I feel pushed. This thread wasn't meant to be serious it was a fun poke after reading some comments on gender in these very boards, it was to respond to the "women watch life time and cry" and all other antiquated nonsense I thought was funny. Once again yes it was a look at me post just like any other post I decide to make on the boards. I thank everyone who has been having fun and posting fun facts male female alien or 600 lbs blood drinkers that's all I wanted to do was take a topic most take seriously and have fun with it. Meet others who think "yeah" I can relate or at least add the funny like the make me dinner guy (too bad he got deleted) I even made a new friend with a potential date option so that's even more of a bonus. As to proving who I am fine I will post a link to my picture as I said before nothing hot about me nothing special I am just a lady who likes to game who happens to enjoy fun forum topics and does not understand people who get all angsty about others speaking their mind but shrug that's life I guess can't please everyone so not going to try. oh and slight edit since I missed it: I prefer cold pizza play in my room since its the most comfy place enjoy a good beer every once in awhile or a decent mixed drink. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t116/tyn616/TynieandJames.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t116/tyn616/Img_00020.jpg

Okay i'll bite where in that quote was the words I am sorry? I thought it was more of a snarky reply to those who decided "well enough people have called this a cry for attention so I'll attack her grammar or other things instead." I do not apologize for this thread, don't need to resort to saying bite me to the super serious people who came into this thread and had to say "oh this is so pointless." Though it does make me wonder why they feel the need to give it so much attention if that is the case? I honestly wonder if it some how makes them feel better to post how "cool" they are by saying it doesnt matter when it must have slightly or they would have left this topic alone. I have avoided many on these very boards when I know its something I don't care about. But maybe my definition of cool is different some peoples defenses crack me up though. I am not sorry I made this thread definitely not sorry some people get butt hurt because another wants to poke fun at sterotypes am not a snowflake sufferer but do like to have fun conversations in a forums and to me this is still better then nerf whining, rage quit threads or asking for things that will probably never be implemented. And grfu not creepy you were sweet in your asking out didnt push so hopefully you will find someone nice I met my boyfriend gaming so it does happen

The thing is I have grouped in this game and the question of gender did not come up once yet. Seriously this thread was a poke fun at some of the things I read in the boards. Guess my grammar messed up some of the posters getting that. Yes its a look at me but any post I make on these boards whether its to romance Zenith, talk about my favorite quest or what not is a look at me, any kind of posting in a public forums is done for some sort of recognition. I don't feel the need to hide that I am female, do not need a banner either but definitely not acting like I am special I think if I did the first post would have been a bit more serious. Its called tongue in cheek folks a way to have a fun conversation. It doesn't have to deteriorate into a gender war nor do people have to say its unnecessary, its a game forums its a topic about female gamers I doubt the topic is unnecessary to those who wish to have a fun discussion about it. To the fellow who asked me out not uncomfortable but don't think my boyfriend would like me dating. So have to politely decline but if I am ever on the market again and your free i'll let ya know

Nice additions JaeOnasi its good to see others perspectives and when I played DDO I had dudes stand underneath my mages on ladders in their mind I guess they could see updraft who knows? I laughed it off most times if thats what they need to get their boats floating whatever. Not unhappy and not on the market though happily not married anymore. been there done that got a great son out of the ordeal but marriage and me are like oil and water. Seriously though a lot of the married women I was lucky to play with were happy. A couple I miss gaming with from some of the other mmo's I played even had their kids learning the game and worked well together. Whenever I joined up we laughed and had a great time and the female did not seem unhappy at all. But experiences vary Ive had plenty more good experiences gaming with both genders then bad and im glad for that.

its nice to see this thread is still going. I will say this funny still see serious folks posting about how threads like this are "unnecessary" or that I am calling attention to myself. Id refer them to earlier post that basically say no duh about the attention thing but why bother. People are allowed their opinions. Harassment haven't dealt with it in this game, dealt with it back in the day not worth reiterating this is a fun thread not really a therapy session. No I don't have any hawt pics floating around either im a pretty geeky person doubt i'll ever be anyones version of hot lol. Seriously It was to poke fun at a series of other topics I read on the boards dealing with sexism, females rights and some insulting things about having a lifetime channel for men when some women wanted more flirting options for their characters. Decided to poke some fun. Some people have joined in and added funny stuff (some got deleted for no reason either). Others got on their soap boxes and defended their right not to care which is cool. Others acted like this thread killed puppies being made which I honestly can't understand but maybe the upcoming nerfs have them on edge or something. Either way this thread was meant to be fun I said it a few times guess at this point does not really matter anymore it has been fun to read the responses. signed attention seeking forum poster who can't game at times so uses the boards for entertainment.

Aww one of the things I love about this class is the giggle. It threw me off at first when I heard my scoundrel doing it but then I realized what it meant and made me love the sound even more. so tired of developers fixing things that aren't broken seriously isn't there other more glarring things that need a look see? /signed don't take my giggles:mad:
