Looking female isn't enough, guys :p. Most guys are aware there are tons of males playing as females. You need to act like a believable female too. Trust me, I'm a pro.

As for acting like a believable female yeah that much is true I can pretty much flick a switch mentally and start acting really like the character I am portraying be it male, female, old, young, good, evil and when I'm in the mode for being that character I generally have an instantaneous response in character it makes me more convincing as the character it also scares some people especially those who encountered me playing the character Lasuria-Bladebreak, it was a fantasy game where she was a dark elf and she hated all the other races, worst thing you could be was male and human because she'd not even bother to find out if you wanted to fight or to come in peace she'd just kill you out right and to hell with the consequences.
I also later played a female character named Guinevere who yes was inspired after watching Arthur over christmas one year. Guinevere was a young, naieve human who was originally made with the idea of just running around being a bit of a side line character in the world. However she ended up having to rally the players on her side of the war and so we all saw how this innocent little girl became a fiercly loyal and determined warrior princess who whilst never the strongest proved to be the lynch pin in her army. I found it difficult to adapt to her but with some help from other characters in the game, one of whom became a revenant, something ressurected improperly and thus his RP became that of something neither dead nor truly alive and at the same point not undead either. He was caught in the middle of the 3, getting close to him would prove physically painful and so he provided a great aid in making Guinevere tougher physically and mentally because she made it her place to investigate what had happened to this character. Again I managed to play the character convincingly and people often assumed I must have been female irl prior to my relevation I was me. I even had players I knew fooled for a while. Players who had played alongside me as Lasuria for years.
I make it obvious that I'm a female without even trying. Blessing and a curse
Man, you must really like roleplaying.Unfortunately not any more, I lost the files of the conversations 3 laptops ago.

I wouldn't say I am one of those really geeky roleplayers who goes around doing live action stuff no. I write so I try and envision what my character is and how they would act so I can better convey their actions and thoughts, roleplay is a side part of this. Of the characters I have roleplayed the hardest to do was actually a male one. I played a ghoul an undead being note this is not a zombie, yes like a zombie the ghoul is a rotting cadaver ressurected and stalking the world however Ghouls move very quickly and are for the most part very strong they just lack a lot of intellect. Think 28 days later zombiesWell the ghoul I played, Arrath he had been a soldier killed in battle by a vampire and then ressurected by a lich from afar. That in itself was not difficult to play out however to make it more difficult being a simple farmer turned soldier he was illiterate and his death had been particulary violent in fact the vampire whilst she hadn't fed from him she'd ripped his throat clean out leaving him even in his afterlife unable to speak. Therefore unable to speak, or to write it was left to me to communicate via actions alone.
That's insane, I don't know how you manage. I would have been all, "smurf this, I speak using ghoul magic."
hahaha I kept it up for well in excess of 2 years almost everyone wanted to get me to break it but I refused, it lead to some awesome confrontations when one of the enemies of our people confronted him and demanded to know why he'd done the killings he had done all I did was a shrug and walked away. The guy pursued me for around a third of the day before I led him calmly and silently in to a trap where I killed him too. I also had other special rules such as Arrath had to eat x quantity of meat a day otherwise he'd rot and that meant if there was a shortage of meat he'd either have to pack some with him from another area or kill someone including allies for meat. He done this a few times before all his allies learnt he'd kill them for meat if they didn't carry meat around.
Haha, that's awesome. Your allies carried around meat for you. Lol.
