Since the days I joined this forum, I ask myself: How many girls would play MorrowinD? To check it out, I would like to know the results of the members of this forum. I fear there are not many, but then we all know for sure.
And as secondary question, what would MorrowinD be with more girl-players?
Or girls, what would you change to MorrowinD?
-no stereotipic answers please-

I've come to realize that not many females play games... Its more of a man thing,... in all of the online games I play... or in any Game related forums, a very small percent are female players...

Male. And/or Other.
BTW, you spelled "hermafrodite" wrong, it's "hermaphrodite," after Hermaphroditos, the child [can't say son or daughter] of Hermes and Aphrodite who had both breasts and male genitalia. From Greek mythology.

I am a male... and I am pretty sure you will find more males than females in
these fora... I don't know why though... maybe because girls prefer to live life
rather than roleplay it... which proves, Theta, that you are actually a male,
so the question is settled

HERMAPHRODITISM:
Condition of having both male and female reproductive organs (see reproductive system).
It is normal in most flowering plants and in some invertebrate animals. True human hermaphrodites are extremely rare. Tissue of the ovary and testes may occur separately or be combined, external genitals may show traits of both sexes, and XY and XX sex chromosome pairs are present. If the condition is detected at birth, the child's sex can be chosen, usually on the basis of which sex organs dominate; those of the other sex are removed surgically. Individuals raised as members of one sex who develop characteristics of the other at puberty may be treated with surgery, and sex hormones may help them continue to live according to the sexual identity to which they are accustomed.

I never really thought about this, when I did I always assumed the percentage were male players. That was an interesting poll.

Hermaphroditos is a "he", although he has male and female particularities. If he was a "she", his name would never be "Hermaphroditos" (greek spelling), but "Hermaphrodite" instead.
Just like the latin version of his name "Hermaphroditus", who would be "Hermaphrodita" in feminin version.

What i feared is true.. only 4 females on 31 players, that is 11.5 %. There's a lack at female players. All search for new ones ...

Meeeeeh (that's me bleating.)
You are trying to MAKE them? They let you do some funny things at school in Norway. Do you use test tubes?
The forums are becoming more revelatory by the day!
I don't think it will encourage women to join!

Al I meant is that I like to play male becouse I am a male and not female becouse Im not female

Yes, Silvuru, I guessed that was what you meant but the thread is about the number of women on the forums, not whether we create male or female characters in the game. (I suppose that could be a new thread if it hasn't already been asked.) So I thought I'd reply with a humorous response rather than be the heavy-handed moderator.

What were you celebrating?
Not the huge amount of women in the MWSource fora by the way, were you?

Playing pc games as a female is a very good way to get into conversation with the opposite gender. Boys/men/anything in between get really excited when hearing that I'm a gamer, too.
As for me, I've loved those games, especially role playing, ever since I got my first computer. Can't tell why most other women do not like it - you will probably have to ask those who are not around here...
In fact mostly if I make the 'mistake' of telling another woman that I'm a gamer, her face freezes in that certain understandingless expression, looking me up and down as if she was searching for any signs of a certain illness. Huuhh... that can really make you shiver!!
