I'd never do ANYTHING obscene. Honest. Open the image in a separate window or something. then you'll see a proper scaled up version.

When I was in highschool I did a research project on AGS with a survey and then studied the statistics, it's hideously out of date [mid 2001] but I can send you the report if you want to cite previous articles.

I'm a female AGSer, so if you'd like to ask me some questions I'd be glad to answer.
Man, it's so cool that you get the opportunity to write an essay about the AGS community

Yeah I noticed that they're cats, but it took a little while.

Hey guys! Thanks alot for all your responces, it's really ace that you're all willing to help. it will take me a while to get my questions sorted, so sit tight until then.

The reason I stressed wanting female agsters so much is because I'd got the impression that they were few and far between. It seems I'm mistaken, from the responces anyway. so now I could actually do with more males... I want to speak to as broad a range of people as possible, different ages, levels of experiance, etc.

If people want to be involved, could you PLEASE send me a quick email to gokristofski@hotmail.co.uk rather than just replying here, as I'll write the questionaire as a word document so people can just type in their answears. This makes things alot simpler and more efficiant for me when I start compiling answears.

Laters!
Chris

If you want to know the title of this essay it's "The Women of AGS: Meet Them, Get to Know Them, Then Break Through Their Front Window and Chase Them Around With a Spatula."

I'll be part of it just because I like your email address...

Go Kristofski go-o!

No, I'm serious.

Mine is the word "captain," followed by my real first name, in which the "L" is a "1" because someone surprisingly already had "Captaincal." I'm so unimaginative...

Um, no.

As I said, the reason I stressed wanting to talk to female ags members is cos I thought there wern't that many, which I have found to not be the case. We have to use two methedologies to examine our chosen case study, and I'm using feminist and sociological methodologies. I chose feminism as one because it's something I have an interest in and I have already read around, and I think the issue of women in the gaming industry is an interesting one.
So there.
