Dancer Archive

So I'm in the cantina at Rebel Outpost on Rori...

I'ma Retard says: Dance, woman!
/addIgnore I'ma
/denyService I'ma

Done.

*hugs Epahi*

There's a lot of good stuff here...not much to add to.

I don't get a lot of problems with "nasties", but if someone /kisses me, I /smirk at them. The cold shoulder works. If they try for more, I RP it out--I'm not that kind of girl (in or out of character). And I've also had a few guys stand up for me if someone's getting ridiculous...you never know which musician is also a TKM or which dancer is also a Commando and can wipe the pavement with the perv.

That said, I usually dance in the same place (Coronet cantina) and I've had a few duels myself--I db'd someone to fix a substat bug, someone else to finish a duel so the loser wouldn't lose faction points, and at least 20 with the same guy (my RL husband) to help me get healing XP. So I wouldn't be surprised if word got around that I can take care of myself.

I love the look on their face when I beat the snot outta em with my iron bandfill.

(I never keep my tk title up when Im in the cantina)

But really, if someones really givin you trouble just send someone else around a tell and they'll usually take care of the problem.

Thats bloody brillant luv. Adding that to response list

You girls bring it on yourself. When 3/4th of the woman dancers flirt crazily with any guy who walks in the door what do you expect? Get off your high social horse. How do I know this? I'm almost master dancer on Chilistra and see it every second I'm dancing.

I don't think the women bring it on themselves as much as you think. I think themost flirtatious female dancers are actually being played by guys. I have no idea how accurate this is, but it appeals to my inherently cynical nature.

As for guessing whether you're a woman in real life, it's not that hard. While it's never a sure-fire thing since some people are truly excellent role-players, most are not. Personality, how you dress, how you act, the language you use, your mannerisms all provide clues that any student of human mannerisms can pick up upon.

I'm not a dancer, but this is an interesting topic. I find the most effective way for a man to play a woman is to model his female persona after his wife (if he's married) or some other woman he has known for a long time. He knows how she would react in various situations and, if he thinks about it, can be pretty convincing. Be offended when she would be offended - flirt back when she would flirt back. The hardest part for me wasdefeating my own homophobia - taking on the role is actually pretty easy. With practice, you can change the persona into someone else - the most important thing is to concentrate on it throughout the entire social encounter...if your mind wanders, you'll slip up ("gotta log - need to pick up my wife at the park-n-ride"...DOH!).

Dress and choice of Avatar are also important. My avatar does not have the largest allowed bust size, nor the smallest allowed waist. She looks athletic becauseshe's a melee fighter - she's in amazing shape. Her hair is tied back in a simple pony tail - it needs to stay out of her face even in the rain. Yeah, I went a bit overboard on the dark red lipstick...you can only stay in character so long.

The other asset that helps in pulling this off is a 70-word-per-minute typing speed. If you can type faster than most people, then you can think longer before you have to start typing and still have a conversation at a normal speed.

Think about that next time you're chatting with a "girl" who seems to type slow...

I once convinced an entire cantina I was female by answering one question correctly. Someone said, "how old is everyone here." After the usual flurry of under-25 answers, I did:

/emote is old enough.

Case closed.

I had one idiot send me /tell after /tell while I was trying to run the full entertainer group - my /replies went everywhere when he kept butting in.

I told him I was busy running the group and he slowed down a bit . I also told him I would stop listening altogether if he pushed too much.

I have seen a dancer (female) who's bio said she was married to three women. The group of them did that because they got tired of being hit on.

Saw a female character bio that said :

"Don't hit on me - I am a guy in RL - Why am I playing a female? I just got sick of looking at a male's butt running around."

LOL this thread amuses me, especially Brianna's. If I ever encounter this problem, that's what I'm going to do!

However, I seem to have the exact opposite problem. Most people on my server assume that I'm a guy IRL. I don't really know why! The only thing I can come up with is that they think I'm too girly to be a girl, LOL. I'm a human female, and a rather attractive one if you're into the whole pixellated thing. I tend to dance a lot in just a cloak and hot pants (anyone who has seen that combo knows that it's rather hot). I'm a master image designer and master dancer, and I'm married in game to my RL boyfriend who plays a male zabrak. Maybe I just play on a cynical server, or people have simply come to the conclusion that I'm too much of a girl in game to be a girl IRL.

I do get hit on a lot, and anytime someone says something like "you look hot in that" I say "thank you, my husband thinks so too!" that works very well most of the time. I haven't been rude, but they know I'm not interested or available. But I eventually got so tired of people assuming I'm a man that I even put it in my signature, as you can see below.

I like the idea of the PC bouncers. Lot of role-playing possibilities there.

I have the you must be a guy thing too. I find it very offensive to assume because I like to flirt and dress sexy i'm a guy. Is Madonna a guy? I'm an entertainer and I want to be the sex symbol of our server.

The only trouble i've had was with a guild group who caught me out of cantina at a remote shuttle port. the 11 of them encircled me and dropped to their knees with the lick lick thing and fiddling with my gear. I told them 3 time never without my permission but they still persisted. So i told them their momies must be calling them and laughed at the size of their masculinity.

I told them i'd be too much for little boys like them and eventually all but one moved on. That guy was really bad but i just pretended not to know why he took off his pants nor why i should drop to my knees. Eventually he grew tired of trying to force me and moved on too.

I am a guy in RL, but both my characters are female. I have a BH/CH on Bloodfin and a Dancer/TKA on another server. I just found the female character to be more intresting than a male character. But considering the way I talk in game, many people sorta realize I'm not really a female. And yea I've had my share of male characters acting like frat guys telling me to take it off and what not, I usually reply with "How about I take your head off and dance on your dead body?" It shuts a few of them up heh.
