If you MUST go into a Random Room....

Ca-Chunk [aka really funky noise that is made when someone enters the gaming lobby]

Part 1: Mistaken Identity.

Option A: Chick says Hello
Outcome: Shut up you little punk.  Get off Live until your balls drop.  Why don't you go f*ck your [insert any female relative]?  I hate kids.

Options B: Say nothing....
Outcome: Eventually you get to Part 2

Part 2: Realization

Option A: Correct them, "Ahem, I'm a chick.  XBL makes my voice sound like a little boy."
Outcome: Major discussion on whether or not you really are a chick, followed by "Show me your boobs" to prove you are a chick

Option B: Say nothing...Someone else notices the girlfied gamertag, makes the announcement that a female is in the lobby...exclamations of surprise and incredulity abound!
Outcome: Major discussion on whether or not you really are a chick, followed by "Show me your boobs" to prove you are a chick

Part 3: The Crossroads

This is it ladies.  This where is can go really wrong.  This is where it may still go wrong even if you follow my advice.  This is the exact point they will think of when the match is over [win or lose] and you say Good Game.

Option A: Scream, Cry, basically act like a completely insane person telling them how stupid and immature they are....
Outcome: Makes you look even more immature....the game starts and you aren't focused and they are laughing.

Option B: Give a slight chuckle, almost under your breath. Be polite.  Use two word sentences like "Sure", "Whatever" "Un-huh"
Outcome: They will crank up the insult quality of the dialogue because of your lack of response.  This is where the lesbian/fat/whore/suck comments come in. 

Part 4: The Game

Option A: Leave the room and give everyone bad feedback.
Outcome: Nothing.  They won't get banned.  They don't care.  It won't stop it from happening again. Look over Friends List and pray for an invite....even from Drunk151. 

Option B: Play.  Play the best you can.  When someone makes a good shot....say so, "Nice snipe".  When you have an Airstrike and need a UAV, ask for one. Win or Lose, just play the best you can.
Outcome: You'll gain the respect of those on your team because you are sticking it out.....at the same time even if you only get 1 kill....that guy will feel so stupid if he trashed you.

Part 5: Good Game

At this point there is only one Option: Say Good Game and decide whether or not to leave the room.  No parting shots....if they are still squawkin....just leave.  You might get a FR or two, you might get a message telling you that you are cool/hot or an idiot.  But always say Good Game.

This happened to me the other night.  One particular gamer was an absolute ass to me.  At the end, I said good game.  And plainly told him that he didn't have to be such an ass.  That I was a decent player and he was out of line.  I didn't scream.  I said it calmly.  Within two mins he had sent three apology messages.  I've played with him since....and we encountered random girls, and he was nice.  He said he wouldn't ever bash on a chick ever again simply because she was female. 

Now this is a best case scenario.  Usually the light doesn't come on.....they send nasty messages...in that case MUTE-BLOCK-REPORT.  That's all you can do.  But hopefully we can turn a few around....one idiotic male at a time.

Much love to all the Gentlemen here at 2old2play that don't have to be taught......and watch your ass if you do.
