Attention girl gamers - you're invited!
Building on the success of our first Girl Power Hour event, our amazon army will march forth this Sunday on the Tomb of the Primeval Kings.
If you haven't mapped ToPK, go to Dragon's Lair, the outpost is just through a doorway from the mission town. (If you haven't mapped Dragon's Lair, that's a little more complicated - you'll need to ascend first.) If you're of the chest-opening inclination, the Tombs are (sort of) in the Underworld, so bring Phantom keys (Yes, occasionally you will see ecto drops in Tombs.)
Bring whatever character you have that can get there. We won't be trying to force together Barrage/Pet teams. Balanced teams may take a bit longer to complete Tombs, but they're more fun and not as hard to assemble from a diverse group of participants.
We will meet this Sunday, March 4th, in our regular meeting place, the Temple of the Ages, International District 1, at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 6:00 PM GMT).
Female players only, please. (Females playing male characters are welcome.) Of course there's no way for us to check, but please respect the women who wish to gather for this event to play with other female gamers.
What: Girl Power Hour - Girls Pwning Tombs
Where: Temple of the Ages, International District 1
When: Sunday, March 4, 1:00 PM Eastern, 10:00 AM Pacific, 6:00 PM GMT
Who: Girl Gamers
Why: Because girls kick butt!

But I thought everyone kicked butt : ( ...
On a serious note, this does sound pretty cool. Too bad I ain't invited, and damn the people who pretend to be a girl just to go.

I would like to come but I'm a bit confused by the GMT. I live in Australia (GMT+10) and if I understand correctly the time of the meeting for me should be Sunday 10:00 am. (?) or Monday 10:00am?
Sorry but I'm still very much confused! :P

Hi there,
I would love to come and join in. I shall try to make it as I would love to meet some fellow girl gamers (I've been playing for two years in June and I still haven't met that many lol). Plus, if anyone is interested please take a look at this http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10123864 as I'm doing my dissertation on hard core girl gamers and so far I haven't been able to find any willing to share their experiences.

What is this failure you speak of? I'll do my best to make it. I have a versatile necro, ranger, ele, or warrior, and I could bring out my monk, but I'm rusty at monking.
Angelica, I believe it would be 4 am Monday morning for you.
Edit: Thanks to Fungus for confirming my half-baked time calculation.

How do we know your girls LOL , Just Curious , NO FLAMING GOING ON..
explodemyheart
Hopefully I'll be able to make this one, it sounds fun. I couldn't make the last one, my computer was having problems. 
Perynne
I couldn't make it to the last one either, had some last-minute stuff to do elsewhere. Hopefully I can make it to this one, Tombs is very much fun!
PyrAnkh
Ill try to be there, i got a (b/p) ranger, a warrior and an ele there.
Laenavesse
...that sounds fun o_o
but my sin is the only who could possibly make it >_>;; she's the only whoe out of my 7 characters (including the lone tyrian born one) to have completed prophecies xD *doesn't know how well that would be* and she's not barrage. Daggers FTW.
i shall consider though :O

I might manage to get there. I have a Necro (SS) and a healing Monk (although really, don't be shocked, he's a male monk but I really *am* a girl).

Sounds like an interesting event. But remember, your going to get a lot of guys pertending to be girls. So expect some grief.
Chuck... you fail at the Internet.

Yay, Tombs! I have my Necro there and trying to get my Ranger. Incentive to get him ascended I guess.
tasha
I'll be there. Last weekend was fun . Should be able to make it with any of the core professions (I'll double check my ele) and can run any of the needed b/p group elements.
See you sunday

I'd like to come. I enjoyed last weekend's event. However the only character I have at Dragon's Lair is a Warrior and I've been told over and over and over and over again that Warriors are not welcome in tombs. I can't even go in there with my guild. They say Rangers only.
I don't want to show up only to be turned away because I'm a warrior.
Also I have no experience with Tombs, mainly because I cannot find a group to go with.

We're out to have fun. Not everything is a competition.
Laenavesse
Yanman has this *thing* about PVP *points to the assassin campfire subforum* lol
anyway, i just don't want my sin to be a burden..u-u I guess I should cap barrage anyway..she already has part ranger and a good longbow that i really use for pulling :3 i prefer daggers though...i mean if i wanted to use a bow i'd go ranger...which i already have >_>;
i've never been inside tombs though o-o *wonders what it's like*

Sounds like a fun event. Wish you girls success, and I can only hope that you won't be bothered by too many people pretending to be a girl…
Eviance
Well I missed the last one, I was sleeping in >_>
Anyways I am going to TRY to be at this one but again not sure if I can make it or not. Hope to though ^_^

I just recently got to tombs with my R/E and I don't work on Sunday... I'm psyched! This is probably a good chance for me to try the Tombs without people yelling at me for being noob. Sure hope I can make it!

Typically, events that exclude a minority (as female gamers tend to be, or appear, on the Internet) are frowned on as "racist" or "sexist," whereas events that exclude an apparent majority are supported for "showing pride in who you are." So it would be difficult to organize an all-guy event without drawing in comments like "You sexist pig!" even from other guys.
On another note, I'll tell all the females I know about this...hopefully at least one of them will show up. Good luck with this!
And if I get anyone to agree to come, I'll edit this post saying they're coming.
Yunas Ele
my friend leads an all girl guild so I linked her to this thread... don't think she has a guru account but she will probably tell her girls about this lol...
Linksys
I'm a dude, but I'll try to be at the outpost to offer support and cheers. I'd be honored to.
Guardian of the Light
I'm just wondering how many annoying horny guys showed up to the last event.
Anyways I've noticed more female gamers at my school (esp the ones who carry the DS around) however there are still guys in my school that think girls don't play video games.

doing FoW or UW would be harder to organize unless you can guarantee the country will have favor. Plus, there may be people from different countries participating so...not only would you be being "sexist" you'd also be "nationalist" :P
lol just kidding of course but yeah..otherwise I'd jump on a UW outing (i want those ectos :O)

If all professions are welcome, I suggest you rename it to Two to Three Hour Girl Power Also, don't call yourself "Girls", it feeds the male ego, "Womyn" is the more self-respecting term
My sex change won't be done by Sunday, but I'm coming anyway I hear the pillowfighting is going to be teh awesomeness
So have an event for minority guys. Something like "Large Members Go All Night Event" would be ideal. Every guy would be there
