Default Hello Everyone

I've been lurking around the forum for a few days and thought I'd finally join. I suppose I'll tell you guys a little about myself.

I'm a 24 year old woman and I begrudgingly reside in the city of Burlington in Vermont until I purchase or usurp some remote acerage to build my homestead on. I was one of those weird, dirty, fort building, sharp stick weilding kids and now that I've grown up I'm a pleasantly surly barber who has always been intrested in the apocalyptic genre, firearms, hunting, & survival.

I hope that I can add some female perspective to the topics discussed on the forum. Also, can we bring the General Chauvanism thread back into the foreground? I'm allllllll about it...Even willing to take one for the team and make some 'personal' contributions if necessary

Oh. My. God. A female forumite! Of course there is no way to be sure (others on the forum may be women pretending to be men) but it is very likely you are our first female member. Awesome!

Are you are Twilight 2000 player/GM? If so how did you become exposed to it originally? Any RL military experience?

Oh yeah, and welcome to the boards!

Haha! Funny that there may be more women hiding in our midst. In my experience, this is often the case. Might be safer in T2K to gender bend. Less rape?....

Currently I'm not playing Twilight 2000, although I'd like to start! I heard about it from a friend who had played way back in the day. I have no military experience. I'm more interested in the game from a civilian perspective. I'd gaurd my veggies with an AK and use tresspassers for fertilizer.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Default welcome FFC !

Welcome to the boards.
Best place to talk T2K shop on the net .

If you are into rpgs -T2K in particular ,firearms,survival,post apocalyptic themes this is definently the place .

We discuss everything from the game rules,gamesetings,mods to these ,topics like the emotional stress of participating and taking sides in the conflict between MilGov and CivGov ,gardening ,homemade submachineguns and possible ways to organize a post apocalyptic society.

So in broad terms ( and by broad I dont mean girl) - excellent place to learn or teach about stuff.

Welcome aboard. I am pleasantly surprised to have our first confirmed female member. I am also pleased that you chose to jump in and start posting. I and the other forum members always welcome different perspectives. If you are going to start a game I hope you can find our little corner of the web helpful.

Ok gentleman, from now on pants are required and I expect a little less burping.

Here is the aforementioned thread.
general chauvinism

It is not a "bad" as I had remembered.

Yeah well I'm looking forward to our new member's take on the "Weapons Choice for Women" thread. For my money, that's the one that's going to be a little embarrassing.

Oh, and welcome aboard Frankie... excellent choice of post apocalyptic avatars, by the way.

I wouldn't be surprised. I imagine it's probably common, in fact, for women to pretend they are men in certain places online just to avoid harassment (I include getting hit on or being treated in a condescending manner in this).

From current and old polls, about half the people here *weren't* in the military.

Oh great, we got to start wearing pants. Where's the fun in that????? And watching our language and the toilette seat thing ( which I've never understood- don't women look before they plop thier naked butt someplace?).

Welcome to the group, Frankie. Now please excuse me while I find my pants
