*waves* I are female. Never play one ever, but I am one. Only one in my group currently since it's just me, Dad, and a couple friends of mine.
And yes. Gamer children are terrifying. I've been playing battletech since I was 6 years old and I whooped everyone's ass at a bloodname tournament (for KERENSKY) when I was 7. My father was my first kill. A requested headshot was my last. In between rounds I was playing with beanie babies and the Thomas The Tank Engine display they had at our local hobby store.
