Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hey all, Some manufacturers are thinking about giving a free ticket for a girls-only team at the worldwide finals of their OC event. In general, these events are still dominated by men/boys () although we see an increase in mixed teams. I like the idea of having a team slot for a all-female team. I'm not sure, however, if there's a lot of interest for that. I know of a few female extreme overclockers, but are they interested in teaming up with another female and compete in a live overclocking final? Ideas, suggestions, opinions? Fire away!

over@locker886 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Good idea, but I vote for mixed team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoro Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Great idea! i would like to see a girl team dominating the MOA/GOOC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbuass Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hahaha My wife is a good overclocker and did Participate of MOA 2009, but now, she was to take care our 4 months baby... Perhaps next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Good idea, but I vote for mixed team! Why prefer mixed team? Would you prefer mixed over all-female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted December 2, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 2, 2010 does trouffman also account as a female ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrash Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 All female team would be great.... Alternative idea would be for manufacturers to allow wife or girlfriend, of the overclockers who make it to finals, to participate with their respective husband/boyfriend.... Anyway you look at it/or execute it, getting females involved is good idea I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Why offer free ticket to females? Maybe also offer free ticket for homosexuals, or people with dark skin or a disability, or any other perceived minority. Skill should be the only pre-requisite. What if a free ticket to a female team sees them come in last place in the qualifiers, that would be great marketing, wouldn't it? Would manufacturers make sure the female team is of high-enough quality to not embarrass? The female OCers we have now... why are they not at chamionships?

Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Why divide up qualifiers based on geographical location when skill must be the only pre-requisite? I mean, if all the top overclockers live in Europe, why bother having US or Asian competitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Because companies need to promote their products in Asia, America etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Because companies need to promote their products in Asia, America etc So skill is no longer the only pre-requisite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) You took that one in the wrong direction It's still skill that gets you anywhere. I'm not awesome (LOL) because i'm from UK/Scotland. You do not have an OC reputation because you're Belgian. Who gives a crap where anyone is from? Marketing works better if it's relevant to the local culture. Local culture, is usually a reasonable mix of male and female... except in some parts of China, i'm led to believe. Assuming it's an equal mix, why are women in such a minority? Is it because... the vast majority aren't interested? If we want equality, there should be no hand-outs, free entrances etc... just earn it. There will never be equality if a group is treated differently to the others Edited December 2, 2010 by K404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 So, you're saying none of the female overclockers are capable of competing at live overclocking competitions? Well ... that sounds like a challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Are they capable? I dunno. Who do we have, hows their efficiency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Seems like some guys are greatly under-estimating the capabilities of the female extreme overclockers. Guess I touched a nerve by starting this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmke Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 gamer girl clans sometimes reach the finals in esports events, they do so on their own merits and they are respected for that. Getting a "free" pass to such an event sucks for all the male competitors; those interested in the esport, not their epenis. next we'll have OCers crossdressing to get into these events for free. Same as one of my friend disguises as a girl to get into dance clubs for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Haha, 1 out of 20 teams would be all-female and now the boys are getting mental (eg: considering crossdressing to get free ticket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
