Stardock being a little personal with there poll now!

what's with the Male/Female thing?

June 7, 2006 10:49:48 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
This is weird asking if we are a certain gender... Stardock think that they only appeal to a certain gender or what.. I hope they don't ask if we are heterosexual or something like that..

But yes wierd is it not!

Its cool, i think they just want to know if they can have certain things in their games, or if they think they would need to add things. They probably think that there are plenty of things for guys, but knowing if they would like to add things like .....i dont know....pink lights or something. Or maybe hunky men....hmmm..... hunky women.... ahhh! Something girl like! i dont know!

Any women hear think that they would like stuff?

Its a marketing most likely. For example, knowing that they have a large percentage of women users might make them advertise in a womans magazine. Thats probably not what they would do but it gives you an idea.

Now I just need to find a girl strategy gamer in southern indiana, now that I know they exist and are not, in fact, a myth created to give us false hope

This is by far the greatest poll ever... goes in the "you had to ask?" category.

I figure this is a hint that one of the new evil races in the expansion will be a race of scantily clad amazons

Why would scantily clad amazons be evil?

Are they a threat to you?

I'm surprised that there aren't more girl Civ II gamers?! Dang I'm always in the minority. And sorry I don't live in southern indy and I think the torians are cute, espcially when I'm slaughtering their homeworld...

or answer in reverse? (or imply that others might...)

internet polls frequently suffer from self-selection and dishonesty/pranksterism.

although, i'm not seeing any motivation for the ladies to pretend to be blokes...

results are interesting, though... but i wouldn't have been surprised if all the players of the games had self-reported as 16-year-old girls from croatia or something.



there poll? Where poll?

or maybe, they're poll?

Why would scantily clad amazons be evil?


if i was a scantily clad amazon, i'd totally be evil... or at least i'd take (mostly) the evil choices early in the game, and then display my "heart of gold" by turning good when i got xeno ethics...

Oh dear...seems like GalCiv2 is a man's world after all....silly of me to get my hopes up that the game may be a little more mixed gender than some hyper-violent shoot em up...

Trust me guys, you don't want your girlfriend playing the game. You will either have to get a new computer or a new girlfriend.

Girls play this game



Actually, after going to a Simutronics convention awhile back I was in shock to see the majority of females over males there. Although for some reason in that mud there seemed to be a greater number of "male" characters over "female". And yes, unless you really got to know the person behind the madness, quite alot of the players were convincing enough role players that they could pass for either.

Kinda makes you go... purrrrr....

well, if they want to know what gender the players are, then why didn't they think of this when they made all the leaders generic males.

The poll numbers for girls may be exagerated due to pranksters. Girls, generally, aren't interested in science fiction. Girls, generally, aren't interested in video games; especially computer games; especially turn based, strategy, computer games.

I'm a male and answered so in the poll.
I just hope that they won't make some shortcuts like "we have 99% males, males like males stuff so this female oriented feature won't be into this game/update/expansion..."

on a sidenote :
anyone noticed that their polls never have a alternative beside the answer they want ?
(example : male/female/other, with other meaning: don't want to reply, don't know, I"m not really a male nor a female...)
most polls have a yes/no along with a maybe/don't know/other option ....

How do you know that the Torian ambassador isn't female?

And why weren't there entries for neuters and hermaphrodites in the poll?

And...and...nvm
