Yes I'm still playing it. I only have time to play on weekends

I was at the message board today. It's freaky seeing an actual post by a woman. A real life woman! It's been a long time since I've seen one of those.

Snowflake?

I have my doubts whether the women here are actually women .

What woman in their right mind would play a Civ style game?

buy the Half-Life 2 silver package thru Steam... you get Counter-Strike: Source which is built on HL2 engine... and it's out already.

Ahem. Not only is it the 21st century, how is not having a PC relevant to being "with the times?"

something about reading email, typing letters on a typewriter, that sort of thing ....

Ribannah used to post pretty actively on Civ2, and I think on Civ3 for a while. Alinestra Covella is one of the more active folks in the SMAC community here. I have no reason to think theyre not female.

One of POTM's nerdier friends, seeing I had Civ2 open, once set up a hotseat game of the Fantasy game for us - i hadnt set up a hotseat game before.

I thought most posters had some form of intelligence. How would I be able to post on 'Poly if I didn't have a computer?

There's also Snowflake, formerly known as Honghu, from the SMACDG and OG circle (at least those are the ones I know of). And l'Event of course.

:sigh: girls ......well just my one that is!

She used to post on the elderscrolls forum about the same time i was using it. She doesn't really like Civ type games, although i've tried really hard to get her to see the merrits of CTP2 - if only to get her perspective on those type of games(so i could get her to help in the source code remake).

I think its good for games that more girls take an interest, maybe we can move away from just killing stuff all the time?

The only TBS game ive managed to get her to play and like is Xcom.

But know she has succumed to the Game Cube and tends to like games like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing and Zelda(which i like too - still it will be awhile before i get a good go at them!, but its cool as i'm pretty much playing LMA manager on xbox all the time).

somebody asked how is not having a computer relevant to being in the 20th(21st?) century. So you do have a computer. What was the point of your saying you previously didnt have one? Do you post from someone elses computer? In that case im sure you could have realized i meant to read email, etc from YOUR OWN computer. Or did you mean to say you post from a Mac? Forgive an old timer like myself, who still sometimes uses "PC" to mean a personal computer, as opposed to a mainframe or mid tier, not necessarily to mean a clone of the IBM PC. I realize thats the more common usage, and one I use myself.

I have an eMac.
