Aaaarrghh!! Since my game is lagging badly and making it impossible for me to play, the next best thing would be to sit here and cry about it. Boohoo!
While one player of the server I regularly played in discovered my identity, it didn't take too long for everyone else in the server to figure it out. The initial reaction was that of shock followed by awe and respect. Earlier on, the guys talked about girls in game with... let's just say that they were chauvinist pigs. But once they found out a girl was playing- especially a regular- they would simply be pally as if I happened to be their best friend in the world. (Funny how a game includes hypocrisy).
Most of the guys were okay though. The familiar ones also began to add me on facebook. This included Ash as well as Stingy. Soon conversations moved beyond gaming- especially when it came to me (I should have seen that one coming).
The funniest thing was that when a new player entered the Guns of Doom server, and found out that there was a "she" in the server, he would ask me what I looked like and how old was I (as if I was going to meet him for coffee that evening). At times it felt like you're getting ready for a blind date and your date wants to prepare himself for what he will be up against :P
My reply would mostly be- I'm 16 and I look okay. This went on for about 2-4 days when I started getting sick and tired of it. Turning on my pathetic sense of creativity and sarcasm, I started telling the newbie that I was 80 years old and big, fat and ugly as well as holding the world record for the thickest moustache in the world :P
Today, 4 years later, players ask me the same question. "Scarface, whats your age?"
My reply, "80"
And then comes a cheeky, "Are you hot."
I mentally think of throwing a kettle of hot tea at the player's face and then reply, "Nope. Fat and ugly. Move on."
It is usually followed by a laughter from the regular guys who know me. In fact, after a point of time, I hardly had to reply to this question at all! Stingy or Dj or someone else who I knew would do it for me!
And, not surprisingly, Stingy, who remains to be a very good friend of mine to this day, still answers on my behalf. People usually want friends who are honest and up front. Well, this is a message to Stingy- You can continue lying about my age! :P
More coming soon!

Oh no ! this is Freaking me out, i never thought a girl would play cs ,besides as an admin to server.
ReplyDeleteAlthough i like felt "he is" a girl few times while chatting in CS but , i rather thought he was a small boy..... i was really stunned reading this article, Scarface u gave a paradigm shift that not only boys are the one who play CS but even girls...
