prestidigitator Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! See above. The way i see it' date=' the effect of the power would have to be limited to those on whom normal flirting could be reasonably expected to work -- that is, someone who is otherwise attracted to women. Thus it wouldn't work on straight women, children, eunuchs (and other genderless beings), or men who are so commited to homosexuality that they are offended by the idea of a woman flirting with them.[/quote'] So committed to homosexuality? Offended by flirting? How about gay men (as opposed to bisexual men) who simply aren't attracted to women? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! What is this "Outside" I hear you people speak of? See that wooden object mounted in your wall? The one with the metal knob to one side and hinges on the other. Good. That's called a "door". You can open that think and walk through the space. There may be some other examples of this "door' thing, but if you open up enough of them you'll eventually come to a place with no cieling. That's "Outside". Now, when you're there for the first time, Outside is a very frightening place. but it comes with its own built-in sprink;ler system, and several other amenities. it is also where pizza passes through to get to you from where the pizza originates.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! Do'h! I knew I was forgetting something. Yes, that should be vs. males (or proper orientation) only. However, thinking about it, it could well produce the same effect in females due to distraction and snarkiness ("Oh...my...god...Look at her butt!").

KA. Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! OK changed my mind: Most of the people on this board are nice. In the interest of fairness for all parties involved, you may want to read this thread. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27220 It is rather long, and it will probably take a while for you to fully understand what people are talking about, but once you do I think you will see why you are being greeted with some amount of suspicion by some of the members here. One main point is that in the beginning a lot of members had doubts about the poster(s) in question, and were shouted down by others who wanted to believe. Which is why people are a bit more skeptical now, and a bit less likely to back down from their suspicions. Try not to take it personally. If you actually are a hot female who loves to game and is naturally flirtatious, some day you will run into someone from these boards who will meet you in person and verify your existence, at which point apologies will most likely be offered. Also understand that this board was a friendlier place before that incident, and one of the reasons we can seem a bit rude is that we don't want things to get even more chilly for people who come here to learn about Hero. If you are some idiot who is trolling, especially the same idiot mentioned above, please leave now. I really don't think you will get very far, at least not with anyone who has been here for a while.

I really don't think you will get very far, at least not with anyone who has been here for a while.[/quote'] In the interests of fairness, and to offer a counter-perspective, pretending to be someone you are not will only cause problems among those who become emotionally invested in the "truth" of your story. Trying to identify gender in others is a practice common to humans, but some of us on these boards care not a whit what gender you may be. Others, myself included, will casually accept whatever you report, but be unaffected by it. I have read The Confessions of Thorarinn Gunnarson and, while I never heard his tales, I know myself well enough to be certain that I would have enjoyed the stories he told for their own sake, and found their value reduced not at all when the facts were finally revealed.

Guyon Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! uh oh... This is exactly the attitude that keeps females out of RPGs.

prestidigitator Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! Isn't an additional persona one of the things that is so appealing about the Internet? I don't think I've ever explicitly stated my real name here, though I have alluded to it a few times as I recall. Anyway, welcome Dawn/Siren/Michael/Henry/Obfuscatusfo. I'd like to think that you're a hot gamer girl. If we start flirting or set up a cross-continental date, I'd also like to hope you're being honest about it or that you'd break down and do so at some reasonable point. Whatever, and cheers!

Guyon Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: I am hot! Lumping all people into a mold just because you had a bad experience with one is simply discrimination.
