Gender Poll
« on: August 04, 2011, 12:25:51 am »

There has been a few polls like this, however statistics should at least be gathered every year, so that progress can be viewed.

You should only vote if you play the game or keep up with its' developments. (Please don't gather your friends, make new accounts, and distort the poll - you wouldn't like the FUN involved)

Which progress?

By the way, you can look at forum stats to see the male:female ratio, and some of girls use male or no gender. Also they don't usually participate in such polls, so the results are not going to be accurate ;).

P.S. You should move it to general discussion, I am sure more girls will notice it this way. We dorfs from the top forums DO have some dwarven beauties amongst us, but a lot of them are down there, in the general forums.

As I mentioned, this is more to see what the ratio is for people who do play, not for people who play for a month and then give up, never returning to the forum or DF again. :'(

Well alot of people on the forums play Dwarf Fortress, but choose to frequent other sections of the forums. I play quite a bit of DF yet im always in FG:RP.

I find the choices a bit limited.  Unless you're just asking about physical equipment, which is a little silly.

Not to mention that as it sits right now, it's just a "Count the ladies" exercise. Most of the ladies around here will get...offended if you just number them as opposed to, y'know, talking to them. People is people, man.

Plenty of people down in General still play DF sometimes. The DF boards get boring after a while, especially with this long between releases.

I also highly doubt many people will take this seriously. Expect skewed poll results, for some reason or another.

And male/female is a bit limited, considering all possibilities. I'm not sure how well "Other" would go, though.

After some of the comments, I made it a bit more light hearted, as I realize no one took this /will take this seriously anyway, (as we will be able to tell by the number of people who choose the third option.  :P

There's plenty of people on this very forum who legitimately identify into the third category, just FYI.

DF sets out a challenge to us with no explanation and no assistance, and each time we fail it becomes more merciless, but we continue in the hopes that we can show it, "See?  I'm doing good, right?  I kept the little men alive!  You're proud of me, right?"
