How old are you? Are any females here?

[Stavros]

OK.. I'll add to the stereotype.

32 (yesterday), programmer, turned consultant/manager, citizen of the world, born in Australia, currently living in Germany. Already lived/worked in USA, Canada, Israel (I'm non Jewish; for some reason people always think your Jewish if you've lived in Israel ), Australia.
Outrageously outgoing (non-computer) social life that will kill me someday.

This sounds like one of those adds in the lonely hearts pages....
Well while were at it, I'm currently single, hetro (as far as I know) and like back rubs

[King Thor]

Damn! I think I'm the youngest guy in here!

Don't you all go treating me like a kid now! I pack a mighty punch (I mean in the game!).

Dammit, Jon! For the last time - keep me out of your cross-dressing fantasies!!!

Sorry to disappoint you all, but i'm a guy - balls and all. For the record, i'm 33, work for a Telco, not quite single, and don't mind the occasional beer (or bourbon, tequila, rum, whatever )

[Keygen]

Thor you are not a kidd. You are a big kidd . Kidding.

So the great Lung is a boy after all.
Not Davina but David.
Should we belive him?

Oh, man, we do belive you. We just didn't want Jon to get disappointed. He trully wanted you to be a pretty, sweety, little girl

BTW you do play like a girl in the DMM series

[St Jon]

Now just because you think you can get away with conning the rest of the Forum Lung I know all about your Cybersex activities! Divine 'Diva' Davina the 'The Queen of Virtual Erotica'!

Besides, the proof is clear to see in Swissy1 where your claim to enjoy a good 'spanking' is being lived out in CtP!!!!

[Keygen]

Amazing!!!

[King Thor]

Dude.. Guys like getting a spanking too.

But not me.

[Keygen]

Common guys.

All right Slamp!
Thanks for keeping this topic alive for a little longer!

Yes, we have talk about Klair.
Maybe you should tell her to tell us all here about herself too.
Half of the topic is about her. As she is the only female around here .

[King Thor]

She does frequent Apolyton very much I guess, so chances are she hasn't even read this thread yet.

Anyhoo.. Basically there are VERY few ladies who play Civilization games, The ratio may be something like 15:1 or even 20:1 .

[Keygen]

Yeah, I think if it's not something like Civs or Abe's Odyssey or somethink like that females loses interesting. And most of them they don't even like games generally. So it's naturally games like CTP not to be attractive for them. It's a man's game !
But it would be intereting to discover the females who accually like CTP or civ-type games. And they are so few that wouldn't make a category either .

[St Jon]

If you go to ACOL and look through the member list you will see that there are many more women into SMAC than Civ or CtP. It's still male dominated but not much more than 4 to 1. Maybe it's just more women like Sci-Fi?

[Stavros]

I'd put it at least 500:1
It's that nasty combination of:
war(male dominated)
computer game (male dominated)
turn based (control freak (often male) dominated)
PBEM (I'm not sure what sort of wierdos play PBEM , and I think this avenue is better left unexplored. I hate categorising myself

[Keygen]

Maybe I should get a membership at ACOL at once!
