Girls' Point of View

Ok, I'm gonna take a stab at this. KTDARPG, from the female perspective.

Since the beginning, this game-world has been surprisingly democratic. Girls leading tribes, girls solving problems, girls fighting & winning, girls elected as city officials, girls hunting as well as preparing the meals, girls as heads of businesses ... yep, surprisingly democratic.

But I have a theory. The reason we've had all these opportunities is that the guys in general are hanging back. They kinda like being taken care of, protected, directed, not having to be Out There on a daily basis. Not too bad to get up in the morning & smell the coffee, breakfast waiting on them, smile at the girl going out the door to stock up on supplies at the market. Not bad at all to sit back & let the girl run the business, take care of the problems & worry about tomorrow.

Ok, maybe it's not EXACTLY like that, but c'mon guys -- you gotta admit that so far KTDARPG has been pretty much a female's domain. Name me 1 male tribe leader. Currently the only "businesses" in town are run by females (not counting the NPC-guys running the booths for the once-a-week market). Tom-F's empire went with the hurricane. Drake's Bar was trashed by Dread and his men. That pretty much leave's Val's bar as the only enterprise going. (Don't know if Madam actually has a PLACE for her girls ... we haven't seen that one yet.)

Yeah, we've seen glimpses of a new kid in town, name of Blasko, but not enough quite yet to know where he's taking us. And Ace is apparently in charge of his group of people, but they mostly seem to be working for Val.

What's the what, guys? Any of you out there wanna have a go at giving us the Masculine Point of View? Open invitation ...
