female mappers?

i was talking to someone last night about how many women are joining the gaming community, and it struck me that i didnt know of ONE mapper that was of the succubi kind. anyone know a female mapper? because i've yet to see one

There could very well be a few. I personally wouldn't know.

I know one. Lil...

/me hears the pit shake in horror

I belive it was mentioned that someone the pit had a mapper wife.

Yes that would be MoneyShot's wife.

lol Azelito

Voltigore mapped, kage. Though obviously she isn't around any more. :sad:

who (was) she?

MaryB made the following official FLF maps: flf_snow, flf_fox, flf_job, flf_chion, flf_icehammer, flf_pano, flf_risu, flf_sogem, flf_qcity, flf_ebonysword, flf_rmego

While Pano and Rmego are extreme pieces of crap, and she's only co-author of risu, I think that's still a hefty resume.

Oh, I remember Voltigore. She was a fairly decent mapper as well. Maybe KFS should force / persuade Maggie to map... :smile:

EDIT: Oh, I remember MaryB too.

I think we had a female member a while back... I don't really remember though. it makes sense that there aren't very many. FPS is I think the ultimate guy genere in a larger community dominated by xy chromosoms. Mappers make up a small subset of FPS players, therefore the number of women among our ranks would be expected to be vanishingly small.

You've got a point there. Would be great though to have some female mappers.

I only knew one.

grabs mapping bible (Just printed out tutorials)

Lets go convert some ladies lol.

I'll see if I can get my girlfriend into it, she's pretty busy though, med-school and all (yeah, it's scary isn't it? she's so ambitious :smile: )

who (was) she?

She worked on DarkTruths, back when it was alive, as an assistant project leader (what did she do? Everything Tal-N was supposed to do, funnily enough). Then she got annoyed with Tal-N (of course), and then just decided to leave the community. Can't clearly remember why though. :razz:

k, back to the ut2004 demo...

dosent look anything close to UT IMO. lol

lol :razz:

That doesnt mean it cant call my name at 1am :biggrin:

What about Stevie Case??? Romero is a lucky git...

mmm plugage!

oh stevie ...

ps - there is a link at the bottom of the page that some of you may enjoy...

lol, "may contain nudity"

DocRock's wife maps too, can't think of any more. I wonder what the chances were of Doc and KitKat meeting on a DM server were.

CJ, I'll see what I can do about Maggie :razz:

I met someone online who was trying to learn, but never got too far. If her picture was in fact real, she was also what would qualify as "hot." Given that it looked like a normal amateur scanned/digital photo and not some professional bit from the pages of the SI swimsuit issue, I would lean towards saying it was.

Maybe she can take some of my assignments! :biggrin:

lol, no babykitkat doesn't map. She's tried, and I've tried teaching her a few things, but she can't get down the need to be able to see the map in 3D while ya build it.

She is my harshest critic, tho... :biggrin:

If she was a mapper, she would make some beautiful maps tho...she loves to decorate the house on the Holidays and she definitely has an eye for flair.

i have known a few female mappers, their priorities were somewhat different that the average male counterpart made maps..

it wasn't anything i could put my finger on really, but (maybe it was cause i knew who made it) but i could always tell who made what map just by looking around it.

granted i have not seen all female made maps, and 2 females actually opted to post as men to get more respect, or in their words "taken seriously" but all the maps i have seen made by females have been strictly functional maps, nothing creative about them.. rooms, halls, rooms,halls,ect,ect

i wonder really, what is the ratio of males and female mappers, and just how many women pass themselves off as men

*ignore fact that collar has lace on it*

doesn't count dave, you haven't released a map yet :biggrin:

At one of the other sites I frequent, I know of a female in hiding... She's been visiting the site nearly three years now, and as far as I know, the guy that runs the site hasn't figured it out yet.

Really...

takes the hint & acts smoothly towards CCS :biggrin:

whoops there goes a fingernail into your drink, well that's leprousy for you!

That's not a fingernail, that's rohypnol...

Heheh, nice try Lep, but I've only been here for two years.

whatever happened to Lil?....she was a bit goofy from what i remember....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

I think she was asked to take off and leave when posting became lesbian storytime for her.

Interesting, I never really saw a goodbye type thing, she just wasn't around anymore.

Lucky isn't quite the first word I'd use to describe Romero. The guy went from making some of the most influential video games in history to working on cell phone games and advertising spyware on his web site. I think he's with some 18-year-old Romanian girl now.

I never really knew Lil, nor did I see her goodbye; she never seemed that bad to me, nor too terrible of a writer either, but clearly some of us seem to think otherwise.

yeah, i must have missed that episode....i thought she was kinda funny, in a semi-cool, raucus, lesbian rug munching kinda way...

Doc Brass.. :dodgy:

she was just a female rugal

i got endless PM's telling me just what she thought too :rolleyes:

good riddance

She tended to turn posts off topic in a non-typical-snarkpit kinda way, which got a bit annoying, but she seemed harmless enough. I had nothing against her personally.

Hrmph. There were some more serious problems regarding Lil, but they need not be exhumed.

I was gonna mention that incident too Mike, but thought better of it.

(big mouth + small brain = lose)

looks at topic titla and thinks of the best way to derail it

How about a discussion on why female mappers are so rare? A few obvious possible reasons:

• Women don't see the point of gaming.
• Women don't get thrills out of violence.
• Women don't get off on their hardware (big computer = big dick).
• In social interaction, women are much better at reading body language and facial expression. Online communities feel less "real" to women than men because the lack of these signals is more noticeable to women.

All generalisations of course, and perhaps false as well.

Because female geeks channel their energies into 'real' work, unlike us males? :razz:

• Women don't see the point of gaming.
• Women don't get thrills out of violence.

Wrong. I got this one girl on my class that played GTA3. Found out this in class bar-night before xmas. Then she borrowed my GTA:VC :biggrin: .. and got totally addicted for few months :biggrin:

oh yeah.. she loves violence.. she told she was laughing at movie theater when she first time saw Kill Bill - Volume 1 :biggrin:

grows suspicious

A girl mapper... heh... if there was one in the SnarkPIt, I bet we'ed all make passes at her

You're wrong about girls don't like violence :razz: My mom was a hardcore DOOM player and QUAKE player at one point. Then she lost interest in Quake, sadly :sad:

Ack! Zee thread! She eez alive!

The first time my sister popped somebody with the crossbow she giggled with mad glee, but her enjoyment of the spurting blood seems to have disturbed her because she won't play HLDM anymore.

Just because you came back from the dead, that doesn't mean you have to resurrect a bunch of threads too Hullu. :biggrin:
