How many BYONDers are women?

Poll: What gender are you?

Male 90% (65)
Female 9% (7)

Login to vote.

More importantly I'm trying to decide if there are enough women on BYOND to warrant a female icon and female voice clips. If you know any, please direct them to this poll.

If you are a woman, please comment on how important it is for you to have a female icon to play as.

Piracy

There's an online scoreboard for Tap-Fu which tracks score information as well as things like the phone ID and OS version. Submitting a score is not an automated process, the player must manually choose to do so. After a week of tracking the game, here's what the scoreboard looks like. Pirated copies are red, legit copies are blue.

According to the collected data, not one single pirated copy has lead to an actual purchase. The claim pirates "try before they buy" has been completely, utterly dubunked. Not ONE pirated copy has been replaced by a legitimate version on any of the phones submitting scores.

If a $2 DRM-free game made by a small independent developer is pirated like this, nothing is sacred. Pirates don't care, they aren't fighting a corporate giant or standing up to crappy games. They're barnacles latched onto the underbelly of the gaming community, fouling up the place.
