real female
- noun A player who is female in real life. The
corresponding term real male seems to be unused. In the UK, the
existence of real females is rare to the point of myth. Only by
actually seeing the person in question sitting down and playing
the game with a style matching what has already been observed
over time is it even contemplatable that a player is a
real female. Being a real female is not fatal; it's regarded by most
players as an interesting quirk, like having red hair or
actually being called Conan in real life, and it therefore
tends not to make any difference. Unfortunately, though, there
are some male players who will attempt to seduce anything they
feel is likely to be a real female with a probability exceeding
20%. Then again, such antics are not discouraged by the
occasional real female who advertises the fact that she's all
woman and attempts to
use it to gain friends and influence people. Yes, sadly even
MUD is not completely immune to the seepage of sexual politics
from real life... See female, male.
