Just out of curiousity, I wanted to know the percentage of males and females who play the Baldur's Gate Saga (or one of the games).

NOTE: Remember, the question refers to you not your character in BG.

NOTE: Remember, the question refers to you not your character in BG.Give me a moment while I try to grasp this brain-frying concept...

/me checks pantaloons

Yep, definitely something in there. Socks don't count, mate! :p

/me legs it to avoid flaying from kitty

*chuckles@Fel and NonSequitur*

With a totally straight answer, I am Canadi-uh, female! Yes, that's right. :grin:

Born female and never changed.

Male.

*Checks pantaloons*

Uh-oh...

Male. :thumb:

My pantaloons are draped over my shoulders at the moment...so checking them won't do any good. :hahaerr: :rolling:

Male

My pantaloons aren't the only thing I could drape over my shoulder :D

Male

My pantaloons aren't the only thing I could drape over my shoulderSo... you've got socks too, huh?

/me checks over shoulder for rampaging kitty and keeps running

Hey guys, I've got a penis! :grin:

@NS:
:confused: What are socks, and what do they have to do with gender?

what do they have to do with gender? Nothing, Fel - they're just there to... create a bigger impression, that's all.

Yup, i guess together they make for a nice pair. A warm pantaloon(s) and a nice big, wooly sock(s) :p

But seriously, anyone have a good pic of some good 17th\18th C pantaloons? I've heard of them only through BG (gold, silver, bronze) and i guess i'm wondering... would wearing one give you metallic properties, or do you just have to find a local mad scientist who likes to wear three pairs of pants :)

Male....

Male, I've checked twice so I should be correct.

Why would you need to check twice? :eek:

This is such a spammy thread! :shake:

Male, since '83. Don't know 'til when, though...

Male. And unlike an oyster, I've never changed - not even once!

Well I am male too. What a big suprise! :roll:

Anyway, this topic is grand to know the gender of dear members of BoM, I really do not know to refer to people here as 'he' or 'she', and I have huge troubles with it. :whoa: (No, in my home language, Turkish, we do not have different words for sexes like he/she/it so it is rather confusing for me! :confused: )

Dude Felinoid. Why are you checking out your leg like that? Can't you see it from outside your Pantaloons?

Clearly Fellinoid is HUGE, i mean ... WAT!!!

Nah, me, I'm a male, but it's not lik i can't be female if i wanted ... :D !!!

Male. Why do you want to know? :grin:

Sebastian II, you mean...you can...you are... :confused:

OK I am very curious now :D How can you be female when you really want? :spin:

HAHAHA! Don't worry Silver, I don't even know! And yeh ... i know that's strange! ^o)

Good. Forget I ever asked. :D You know, it is rather COOL! :shake:

Why doesn't it surprise me that there are over 25 males and less than 5 females...

Wirhe have a guess! But that's just how it is ... hold up, did you say FIVE females ... no way!

Shoot, so SP can not be a dating/friendship sort site eh? :p

BTW, we really must write female list down somewhere, considered the fact they are so very few.

Yeh, but now that they know we're onto them, will they give in to the temptation ... hehe :D !
BTW, is this what this topic is actually about???

One of the few women here.

Yet another man here. Yeah I checked this morning and yeah it's there.

Strange I know there is less women here but still only five or six? Nay it's not possible.

And surprisingly, I'm not getting hit on! :p

The only thing this poll is representative of is the part of the SP community that happens to post in the ToB forum... so it's not really a good overall indicator of the male vs. female D&D CRPG gamers ratio.

@NS:
I've never heard of that; did you invent it? :happy:

@kuemper:
What are you talking about? I've been hitting on you ever since I found out. :p

/me wonders why this didn't get put in The Playground :hmm:

Male still, not willing or capable of change

Just left out the toilet and everything is on it's place so I'm 100% male :p

I'm inclined to aggre with Tal, but a lot of CRPG's are quite the same so id have to say the ratio would be... consistant throughout most games (with little exception). But the fact that its the TOB forum is true... should probably have posted this someplace else.. oh well, we all know the answer to this deep down... ^_^

Me is a laydee. I don't have a trouser snake. Er, at least, I don't THINK I do... :)

I like ToB. There, now this topic has a ToB reference, it can stay here. Er, I hope... :)

Heeeey are there women here?

/me hits 'em all

Gimme your numbers!!!


oh and i'm male

EDIT: typos

Female.

You got that?! FEMALE!!

:bang:

*cough*

:heh:

@ Balle - you want my number? Here it is:

8 :p

hey thanx!!!! i'll be calling you in no time!


in denmark, wich is where me and 1 other poster is living, there is a leasing firm, it's number is 8x8 ---> 88888888

Female of course ;)

Male, and I didn't even have to check :p
:borg:

(Also: I don't even frequent the ToB forum, I saw it on the 10 most recent posts lists on the home. So much for that theory :p )

Female. :D Why aren't there more of us?!

Because most women have better things to do than fritter away time on games and message boards.

Because most women have better things to do than fritter away time on games and message boards. For the most part yeah your right...

They have better things to do?

Here I thought it was because intellectually skilled women secretly scare us so we hoard the games to ourselves so that we aren't easily figured out.

disclaimer:sarcasm is about as far as I manage to get with humor on most days. I think I shall purchase another proficiency dot in humor on my next level up.

Can you do something else than playing games and roaming various boards?

is this the secret to women we are about to figure out?

@Harbourboy
Trying to imply something? :(
Kidding. :D

Hey I don't know about the rest of this lot but I can cook and clean amongst other things. granted my cleaning is not spotless but I can still do it.

then you're a woman'`?

Starwalker, in most cases, as is in mine, it is not so much a lack of skill as well a lack of actually putting the skills in practice. ;)

~snickers @ Balle~ I think you talk to my sister. She says that I'm not male even having the propper physical parts.

I can cook and clean amongst other things Well cooking has always been the male province as for cleaning that's why they invented housekeepers and cleaning services :D

Piece of advice:
Never eat anything I cook. It could be deadly.
:D

@starwalker s'long she's female

Let's get back on track, shall we...

Gack! Now it's 42:9 ! :aaa:

Female. And these poll results are depressing me (not that I'm surprised).

Totally agree. The results are shocking. Especially since I go to a single-sex school. Maybe the rest of us are not active members...?

Male. At least until I get my finances in order... :lol:

Male. At least until I get my finances in order... I'm not sure I want to understand this one actually.
And out of curiosity since when cooking and cleaning is female specific? I mean even men has hygiene, well most of us at the very least.

@Ofelix
Hah! :lol: You're forgetting Aragorn from LOTR. He's labelled as 'ruggedly-manly' :lol: And if you read the Secret Diaries, you'll find Arwen says something like "Dosen't he ever wash his hair when I'm not around?" :D

Arwen says something like "Dosen't he ever wash his hair when I'm not around?" All I have to say is; Ewwwwwww

oh and yeah *I* wash my hair, and they are about as long as Aragorn's. But hey I was talking of Hygiene and *real* men, real as in I'm living in RL not in a book

Hehehe... :lol: Well I know my brother is pretty lazy about his hygiene, he often comes back from 'training' and the first thing he does is start annoying me. :aaa: Wouldn't you go take a shower first!?

Hehehe... [laughing out loud] Well I know my brother is pretty lazy about his hygiene, he often comes back from 'training' and the first thing he does is start annoying me. [aaa!] Wouldn't you go take a shower firs Oh my... Myself the first thing I do after sereval hours of training is taking a shower, I feel so unclean if not.

Ahem, to quote the red dragon:

Let's get back on track, shall we...

Seriously though, is there really that little females here? I find that hell strange!

Well, don't forget this is the ToB forum. Maybe most female BG2 players didn't bother to buy the expansion. I think we would get more realistic results if this were on the front page, as the weekly poll.

That's a good idea dog, can we get Tal or dmc to do that?

I'll post this question in our weekly poll next week, and you can compare the results then. Though I think it's already been done some time ago.

@Ofelix
Found it! :D Go to:

Read Day Twenty for Arwen's Secret Diary. :lol:

Yeah, well, my brother is sooo immature.
me: leave me alone I'm trying to study!

me: GAHHHH!
