    LOL. I once (way back in the annals of time), played a female thief in the original AOL version of Neverwinter Nights. One particular evening, I was role playing and partied up with this other guy. I played the role for several hours. The next morning, I got 3 emails from him trying to pick me up. Even after I sent an email back explaining the error in his logic, he didn't believe me.

    Because he loved *you*, not your body.

    Gender means how one identifies oneself, while sex describes one's physical nature, doesn't it? Considering this, I don't find it *too* remarkable that a certain amount of people does not identify themselves as male, or female.

    Yeah, I also don't understand when people claim they fall in love with someone they met in an internet forum or chatroom. You're only a combination of nickname and avatar on the internet...

    Unlike real life, where you are only a combination of surface personality and physical appearance. ;-)

    I guess I can understand better why people claim they fall in love with a forum or chat user than an NPC or otherwise fictional character. At least the forum and chat people don't have scripted lines.

    I am not sure of what I am, or who I am.

    Is that Joneleth Irenicus talking? Or you? ...both?

    If you make a location poll and put Antarctica as a choice, some people will pick it because they think it's funny.

    I think at least some of the posters in the Other category picked that for the same reason.

    I know. Was just making an observation on the poll results. To be honest I find it hilarious even if most of the people who voted that way are joking or pressed the wrong button.

    RL

    I think everyone who player a lot og BG:EE have player both genders anyway.. so.. no point in asking that.

    Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who only play their own gender. And only play their own sexual preference. I kinda find that bizarre. I mean, you're already playing like, a Half-Orc or something right? I'm pretty sure you're not a Half-Orc...

    I've never played a male character unless I didn't have the option, like in Planescape Torment for example. If I'm roleplaying, I have zero interest in playing a dude (especially since the story is pretty much unchanged whether you're female or male). Just not interesting to me...... I had no idea I was one of the 'few' that felt that way.

    I never play female characters, I won't even play games where that's the only choice. I am not a.. Crossdresser, I only play human male, i have no wish to be an elf or a midget or a woman. Besides how can you role play a girl as a guy... Isn't that a bit weird

    You know, despite being a woman, I like playing male characters more than females in roleplaying games anyway... I don't quite know why this is, especially when boys scared me as a child. :/

    Because you want the pleasure of looking at a woman's ass as you walk around? At least that's the joke-reasoning my boyfriend uses. XD I dunno, I don't think it's so weird. If a woman can role play a man with relative ease, I see no reason a man can't role play a woman... In the end, it just all depends on what you want to do.

    Roleplaying is a form of writing. You make up a character and decide how that character interacts with the fictional world. If no-one had the interest in playing/writing the opposite gender, how would authors write novels with characters that aren't their own gender? I don't find it weird if a guy plays a woman or vice versa.

    Gaikokujin. Nihongo o naratteimasu. Watashi wa kihon-tekina nihongo o shitte iru

    I hope that is right! I am somewhat of a beginner (I also know a few anime phrases...)
    Looks right to me. I'll message you instead of posting here, lest we get this topic more off course.

    @Koliva - As long as you don't explain what people have to see to get a genuine result of "Other".

    *Shudder*

    Tiax is indeed a male, well, he has not crossed into a alignment/sex altering portal of late...

    Oh I am a guy too...

    Well, considering that so many people have picked "other", I've put together a gender test.

    Are you male or female? To find out the answer, look down.

    .
    LOOK down, not scroll down!

    Sorry to nitpick, but "looking down" will tell people their sex, not neccessarily their gender, even if they happen to wear no pants.

    Assuming you answered honestly, then it isn't now, is it? If you answered dishonestly... well, I suppose that's ones prerogative.

    Fair enough.
