We need a gender on our profiles!

Post by winneratlife »

I'm not sure why, but it seems that recently (esp. in the Assassinator games, general chat, etc.) we've had a hard time using pronouns because we never know the gender of the person we're referring to...
AlphaTauri wrote:As I am of the female gender, I would prefer to be referred to as "she" instead of "he" (not a huge deal though).
amerikestrel wrote:
Assassinator wrote:I found her up a tree. Not that she was confused, for she was that too when she saw me there, but she was also literally "up a tree."
I came crashing through the forest quite loudly. "Oh, hey," she whispered down to me. "Did you come to help me? You should be quieter. I didn't know you were into..." her voiced trailed off as the realization of why I was here dawned on her. She leaped from her tree, tried to run, but quickly triped and fell. "Please!" was her only plea.
All the bird watchers weren't allowed into their usual places in that park on account of amerikestrel's murder.
Not that I really care that I'm dead...
I'm not a girl.
etc.

I agree 100%. it was embarrasing calling AlphaTauri male. :oops: :oops:

that was locked too....it's been discussed and apparently rejected + I really doubt assassinator games are a good enough reason to add that ;)

Well if the assassinator had a profile, it would say if they were a boy or girl and that makes it pretty easy.
THIS IS BARTA!!!

Ask and ye shall receive (the gender of an user, that is)!

No really, just ask and then remember it. It's not that hard. You remember the events people do with great accuracy; why not genders?

Its not just in Geneal Chat, but also everywhere else. I always want to call amerikestrel and fmtiger "she", and there's a few other examples. It would be a lot better if we had a gender option... but the assassin could always not put thier gender, or promise to keep it at the same gender so we don't know.
But yeah, without gender option, and without seeing each other face to face, its hard to keep track! >.<
