However, a good game with bad graphics will usually be just fine > with boys, and boys tend to be more accepting of technical flaws. I disagree. the men/boys/male humans that i know that play games tend to be highly intolerant of flaws and bad graphics. it may be due to that the majority of men that I know are programmers or systems engineers... Myself, I don't really care about the graphics too much if I like the game, but good graphics are indeed more fun. The majority of people I have run into on the various MOO's (I have no experience with MUD's at all, just MOO's) were men. I don't like that huge gender gap to be honest. wils, geekwoman _______________________________________________ MUD-Dev maillist - MUD-Dev#kanga,nu <A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00210.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00213.html">[MUD-Dev] Its not a MUD...is it?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00172.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00049.html">[MUD-Dev] Essays on parsing text.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00211"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00211"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>RE: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00163" HREF="msg00163.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Tue 31 Aug 1999, 19:24 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00165" HREF="msg00165.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:adam#angel,com">adam#angel,com</a>, Tue 31 Aug 1999, 19:47 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00191" HREF="msg00191.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></strong>, Marian Griffith <a href="mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl">gryphon#iaehv,nl</a>, Fri 03 Sep 1999, 18:17 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00172" HREF="msg00172.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Tue 31 Aug 1999, 22:39 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00211" HREF="msg00211.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Game design and gender: An interesting article</A></strong>, Willowreed <a href="mailto:Willowreed#aol,com">Willowreed#aol,com</a>, Tue 07 Sep 1999, 18:02 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00049" HREF="msg00049.html">[MUD-Dev] Essays on parsing text.</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Mon 26 Jul 1999, 16:50 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00062" HREF="msg00062.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Essays on parsing text.</A></strong>, Christopher Allen <a href="mailto:gmfangs#asmrb,org">gmfangs#asmrb,org</a>, Tue 27 Jul 1999, 02:08 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00063" HREF="msg00063.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Essays on parsing text.</A></strong>, Travis S.
