Dwarf fortress killed my wife
« on: December 11, 2012, 10:02:12 pm »

Okay it did not kill my wife but was cited as one of the reasons in the divorce papers sure there were other issues  but  it was said that that was the nail in the coffin   . And it has me wandering  what how many D.F. players are female ?

Is this joyous news?  And there are certainly female fans of the game, I'd wager its almost the same ratio of women who enjoy math and physics and architecture IRL. . . give or take.

According to the forum stats the male:female ratio is 1.7:1. That number is tilted a fair bit towards female due to the fact that the majority of spambots choose female for some odd reason, but there is still a substantial amount. I think back in an older GD thread we managed to work out that the ratio was around 1:4.5ish IIRC.

Well joyous for the fact  that  the  bad part of it is over and for the 11 years  of memories  that I have.

Strange enough on gaming events male:female ratio is often 10000000000:1

You're confused.  It's an easy mistake to make. True dorfs have beards, females included.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Contrary to popular opinion, ExKirby is actually not a girl.
