I live in the metro Atlanta area (near Gigabytes). Is anyone else out there interested in having something like this?

I have no idea how old you are, but if you are looking for a gamer chick, you should probably either network with your friends, try a group site like meet-up (not a dating site) or try an online dating site. I'd suggest OKCupid.com.

Best of luck.

"So how did the blind date go?"

"It went fine till we started the game. She was like 'Ewwww, you play GKs', I don't think my Slanneshi Daemons can handle that"

*sigh "Rejected again"

I believe the main problem would be the lack of members of the female sex that play this wonderful game, and most that do probably got into it with their boyfriends.

Come on, it's okay to go gay for 40k!

I love how this thread has evolved into changing your sexuality for 40k lol

"She wasn't impressed?"

"Oh, no, she was, but I wasn't in range to do anything, and it went down next turn."

Obviously someone isn't used to premeasuring yet.

Unfortunately I think this is a bad idea also,

not because of the M:F ratio prevalent in TTG (and come on, lets face it guys, it's somewhat our own fault...), but because of the opposing priorities.

I mean, a pretty easy way to make a good impression on a date is to make the other person feel special, and if I was playing a game against a person I was trying to seduce, I would strongly consider throwing the game just to get on their good side.

But at the same time, well it's a tournament so you have got to try and win it, so you should be taking the opportunity to roflstomp every opponent you get.

Put the two together and you have a dilemma of considerable size and consequence throw a game, don't get the trophy, table him/her in turn 2, don't get a 2nd date, now imagine a roomful of geeks all facing the same thing, doesn't bear thinking about...

If she won't date you because you kicked her ass at a tournament, then she's a fething crybaby and you just dodged a bullet.
