[LadyGamers]:  There's quite a few female gamers who play games like CounterStrike and Enemy Territory without a care in the world that there isn't a female player model to play.  What do you think about these type of games not having a player that fits who you are? It obviously doesn't matter most of the time since us girls love to play the games.  What is your view on all of this? Do you feel Enemy Territory should bring out at least two classes with a female player model?

[Missy]:  In a game like ET, a female model would be out of place for
that time period (if they are trying to be historically accurate); But I  wouldn't mind having a female model, I'd probably use it. But in CS there is no reason not to include a female terrorist and counter-terrorist! But it doesn't bother me to the point where I wouldn't play the game because of that. (They are just models!)

[LadyGamers]:  Tell me about your clan, Girlz of Destruction. Who started it and what game was the clan focused on when it began? Has your clan participated in a lot of competitions?

[Missy]:  Around September/October of 2001 Alana (Ms.X), Annie (anniemal), myself (missy!), and a few other ra3`ers got together and  decided we should band together and form an all-female clan. We actually had a hard time thinking of a name, but eventually the name 'girlz 0f destruction' was put into the mix and it stuck. In the beginning, we had an ra3-only mindset, not thinking about any other games and competed on every ladder possible! (and their subdivisions east/central/west, it was crazy!). Eventually we got to only 1 ladder, but that ladder has since gone offline. We now play a variety of multiplayer games and are not currently on any major ladders. (soon though!)

[LadyGamers]:  In your experience, how common are good female Quake III Arena players? Do you feel you have a good chance to come up on top with the Miss Quakecon tournament? Have you competed in any LANs or tournaments in the past?

[Missy]:  Its hard to find decent female Quakers, but they're out there.
I feel I have as good a chance as the rest of the gals! However, I've never been to a LAN before, but I don't think that will hinder my playing (0 ping can only make ya do better right?).

[LadyGamers]: If you could be a superhero, who would you desire to be?

[Missy]: I wish I could shoot web out of my palms like spiderman! But I'd be spiderwoman instead.
