Dwarven Women - Where Art Thou?

[MeTekillot]

Dentatas aren't a mutation.

[Qzzrbl]

We also need more mutant ladies who's mutations go further than just weird colored eyes/hair.

He means this.

Bet'cha she'd -still- get hit on.

I think we'll see more female dwarves once the code that removes all capitalization and punctuation from dwarven speech gets fixed.

(Yes, I went there.)

If I were on staff, they would get like two warnings then a karma dock.

I seriously don't even want to interact with those dwarves at times.


The sad thing is I wonder if they 1. don't read the boards, 2. have somehow missed all the posts on the subject, 3. think it's cool, or 4. Just do it to be dicks.

My biggest pet peeves when it comes to dwarves is how they all seem to be Scottish, not just the horribly mangled version of a Scottish accent that people try to represent in text to the point of illegibility.

I don't really think the Scottish or Punctuationally-Challenged dwarves are really a problem. I guess I don't play enough...or those kind of dwarves are limited to certain areas of the game I haven't been in recently or certain clans I haven't played in recently. I don't think liberal use of accents and apostrophes equals the Scottish accent...pretty much PCs of every race do that stuff.

If it really is a problem, I think the best way to combat them is to just play a dwarf yourself and don't do those things, especially around other dwarves.

It's to represent broken speech, not being scottish. Chief.
If they start talking about pubs, and William Wallace, then it's scottish.

Scottish accents and such aside, can we stay on topic with the Dwarf women please? Thanks.

Don't they have beards?

[Scarecrow]

Only Tolkien ones. But let's not go there.

Thanks to this thread I now have a new concept for a dwarven female. However I won't be playing her any time soon.

I don't play a lot of dwarves (male or female) because I'm not so good with the objective part. But occasionally I do, and nearly every one has been female.

I've played quite a few female dwarves and half-giants, and I have to say I've had a blast doing so. Especially with half-giants. But it really takes a certain mentality to rp either one properly.

I think the biggest reason there aren't as many female dwarves is because most people are too busy playing stupid f-me's. For some reason a large number of players feel like all girls should be pretty...and dwarves just don't fit into that niche.

Getting hit on is another thing, but even my ugliest characters seem to get hit on constantly so that really isn't much of an issue. When you're female, you get hit on. Seems to be a MUD mindset, since for the most part there are more men than women playing.

That is all.

I've noticed this too. My assumption is that they must have some sort of typing problem or 2 broken shift keys and caplocks key on their keyboards.

There definitely aren't many dwarven/half-giant females around, but whenever the rare one crops out, they always seem to be phenomenally well-played.

Anyone remember Henna? She was as badass as it gets.

[Nahara]

Haven't been playing enough to get to my dwarf concepts...

[spawnloser]

She was badass, but that was because she was a twink.  She was a 2D character.

Some days I just can't tell when people are trolling/flaming or winking over their inside knowledge of who played whom.

Meh, at least she was a female dwarf. Right?

Hey, maybe I should roll up a non-twinkish, butt-ugly mutated female dwarf (with dentatas, naturally) who goes around slapping male dwarf's arses. Bonus points if she uses correct punctuation and capital letters.

I played a female dwarf Whiran once. Was great fun. She even had a flying chase with a very unfriendly supernatural entity! That's right, female dwarf aerial battle.

Assume that is true. She still has any of your characters beat by 1D.

Congratulations, you've earned a thread lock.
