First off velocity, I have never lost a game when on the same corp as Sing and Loc, secondly just because what you mentioned may be our strengths doesn't mean we can't do other stuff.. when I am playing with corpies who are better than me <sing, lex, etc..> i have no problem being bot or col biotch or whatever else is needed..
I didn't mean to start a flame war here, I have respect for all the female players and I picked Maggie really high in the draft for CW2.
But as good as they are at their certain roles, they don't have the combat experience to hang in a bloodbath.

I agree with stocky. Good players are those that adapt to the situation and play whatever roles are needed. Yeah, killing is the glory - kinda like the quarterback position, where farming is the linemen - but you have to have them all working.
Most of the women in Tradewars that I've met seem to be builders/strategists more than the killers of the game. The key word is "most" because I've had my butt handed to me by a couple of them before.

Bad Girl, for one, if she were flying killer blue with asset support, would probably slaughter your corp. Then chew railroad spikes, spit out tacks, and use one for a toothpick.

This is a bit like mud wrestling. The men are doing all the talking about what they'd like the women to do.
Don't see a lot of female response here, do you?
lol

You didn't regret it either, did you? <G> It was in that game that you went from [/b]Stockton [V] to [b]Stocky [:O]
If I remember correctly, I delivered a load of figs to the planet during invasion and then had a blast watching you pod and #sd# K3 before we ran out of resources. lol

The men are talking some smack about women player's and their predatory skills while those women players silently dig the men's graves. [:P]
So if we're just builders and strategists, and not killers, you should have nothing to worry about now should you, boys? [:D]
Only thing holding this up is having more female players chime in it seems!

I can think of 5 ladies that would give any guys a way to go and probably win. Acid, Hekate, Cruncher, Medusa, Bad Girl, 5 of the best female players ever

I'd be up for what Stockton was mentioning. A red corp vs. a Blue corp. It would be pretty challenging for both corps. Maybe like 7 or 8 players on each corp? It could be a lot of fun. Anyone agree?

I'm not sure that that would work. I think it would be interesting to see, but I'm pretty sure red would quickly overwhelm the game. This coming from one who likes to be blue, but is just learning the red side of the game.

"Depends on the edit"
If you had quick cits and 1:1 ftr prod in a big universe then the blue would have a shot. Aggressive gridding and probing reds... well, again, you'd have a problem. So it all depends on the edits and the ships and the players.

Jesse, that would be very tough because when people started attacking one another everyone would flip anyways..
What I meant by bad guys vs good guys .. was the bad boys of tw < me, jester, sing, loc, lex, butch.. etc.. people who have a rep for smacktalk and rough play.. against good guys who are always polite and more geared towards a building game..

Killian I never said anything about the ability of the women players as killers or anything, Usually mind you they tend to be less aggressive but that is true in life as well although I have met quite a few women that scared me literally laff, But in this I offered up a team of guys now waiting on you to comfirm and then we can set this up and see what your made of
