I don't know who all remembers the SCGals, but they were a pretty popular and dominating Starcraft clan. Of course they pulled off pretending to be girls for about 6 months and no body knew lol... anyways here's the interview:

red

blue

 
< Squaredot >my first question... what are your real names/locations
you can skip the names if you want.... Cause of all the pervs

 
< SCG_Gillian >my real name is Gillian, no location sorry.

< SCG_Scary >Mine is Stacy

< Squaredot >well, what kind of decked out monsters do you play SC on? A super duper 400 pIII?

< SCG_Gillian >nah. Just a 200

< SCG_Scary >i have a pent 200

< SCG_Gillian >32 megs of ram

< SCG_Scary >Same with me

< Squaredot >any hardware you like in particular? Mice, Keyboards?

< SCG_Scary >And... that's about all I know about it. Microsoft mouse?

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >i like my keyboard, whatever it is that came with this
and i prefer logitech mice

< Squaredot >i like my Microsoft mouse, i have a cool rolly button in the middle

< SCG_Gillian > Currently i'm using logitech plus
it has the little scroll button.

< SCG_Scary >Yes, yes, the scroll

< Squaredot >hehe. Who/what got you gals into starcraft?

< SCG_Gillian >a few friends, very into it, so
i played by association. They were into it even before the game came
out actually.

< Squaredot >what about you scary?

< SCG_Scary >Yes, I had saw the ads etc. on
www.blizzard.com in the days I had played diablo And some friends had
convinced me to buy it.

< Squaredot >did you two hear a lot of hype about the game before it came out?

< SCG_Scary >sort of, from friends mostly.

< SCG_Gillian >i played war2, but not too seriously

< SCG_Scary >That's what the friends used to get my to buy it, the hype

< Squaredot >What were your first impressions of the game? likes? dislikes?

< SCG_Scary >I forget, it was too long ago

< Squaredot >heh

< SCG_Gillian >my first impression was that it was difficult to play

< Squaredot > You mean, compared to war2?

< SCG_Gillian >no just in general difficult to play, to win

< Squaredot >when i first saw it the units looked REAL small

< Squaredot >i wasn't sure if i was going to get eye strain from playing it or not

< SCG_Scary >I liked that. I used a large screen size when I played TA

< Squaredot >did you play TA a lot?

< SCG_Scary >So the small units I liked

< Squaredot >get into it that much?

< SCG_Gillian >i never played TA

< SCG_Scary >Not alot, got sick of it after awhile, not the game really
But I got sick of not being able to find a good game

< Squaredot >oh. I've only played through the single player missions

< SCG_Scary >How dull!

< Squaredot >haven't played multi-player at all

< SCG_Gillian >enough about TA

< Squaredot >did you play any other RTS's before SC? Besides TA . C&C?,AOE?

< SCG_Scary >I had played a little war2, not much though. Found it hard to play war2 online

< Squaredot >hard to find games?

< SCG_Scary >Well, found it hard to find a place to play it online, is what I mean, Yes

< Squaredot >Oh. Kali is the best place to play it online, My friend and i used to play it a lot.

< SCG_Scary >I didn't feel like paying to play it

< Squaredot >well, i think the one question everyone is wondering: How did the scgals get started?

< SCG_Scary >A couple months ago, 3-4, Gill?

< SCG_Gillian >Oh right. Scary and I knew each other from just hanging out playing etc.

< Squaredot >so you all know each other then?

< SCG_Gillian >Basically we were the first two,
then we found the others through alot of searching. It's not easy to
find gals on bnet. We don't know each other in real life.

< Squaredot >hehe

< Squaredot >Are you just becoming active again, think I read on your site that you took a little time off

< SCG_Gillian >Yes, a couple months ago just before Christmas we all went on holidays

< SCG_Scary >yeah, just recently. Maybe 1 month ago, got a new page

< Squaredot >oh, so you weren't really away that long?

< SCG_Gillian >the old one sucked badly.

< Squaredot >what are your opinions on BW?

< SCG_Gillian >it's fun, and balanced as it can be

< Squaredot >as it can be?

< SCG_Scary >although I like it now, but I dislike how it came to be

< SCG_Gillian >I'm the type of person that thinks the game is more balanced than not.

< SCG_Scary >forcing people to buy an expansion just to play the game multi-player
Because of course everyone else will have it

< SCG_Gillian >truth is… any imbalances that exist needs to be adapted to by players. If they can't it's their fault


< Squaredot >what are your favorite races to play?

< SCG_Scary >Random

< SCG_Gillian >random

< Squaredot >no favorites then?

< SCG_Gillian >it's our law

< SCG_Scary >Never had a favorite

< SCG_Gillian >sort of. My favorite thing to see in the game is goliaths/tanks marching around

< Squaredot >heh

< SCG_Scary >At one point I had disliked
terran a bit, because for some odd reason 5 out of every 7 games I got
them, but that passed

< SCG_Gillian >it's a wonderful sight, but i don't prefer any race balance wise

< Squaredot >I think that's a good thing. Good players should be
able to use all the races. Does your clan has an all random law?

< SCG_Scary >And all the maps

< SCG_Scary >it's a law

< SCG_Gillian >The only map we refuse to play is BGH

< Squaredot >i don't know what blizz was thinking when they made that one
:[

< Squaredot >any favorite maps?

< SCG_Gillian >I'm guessing a new "please the newbies" policy. I think of the majority of maps, my favorite is river war

< SCG_Scary >Favorite maps... would be any uncommon map

< Squaredot >is that the 5-player island map?

< SCG_Gillian >we rarely choose a map, So when we have the chance I pick it

< SCG_Scary >7 player island

< SCG_Gillian >7 players

< Squaredot >yikes

< SCG_Scary >192x128

< Squaredot >I guess i don't know my maps then =[. I've been
playing on Divided Factions a lot recently, that is a fun map

< SCG_Gillian >It's not that bad

< SCG_Scary >We played people who didn't know killing fields a couple day's ago

< Squaredot >how did they do? hehe

< SCG_Scary >They wouldn't play on it

< Squaredot >oh

< SCG_Scary >They chose hunters I believe :-P

< Squaredot >sheesh, did they use the excuse "everyone knows that map"?

< SCG_Gillian >hunters, the great equalizer of bnet

< Squaredot >Are you two competing in the blizzard ladder at all? What are your thoughts on that?

< SCG_Gillian >not really.

< SCG_Scary >With difficulty

< SCG_Gillian >i played a couple games

< SCG_Scary >My last three games had not counted as a win

< SCG_Gillian >whenever someone discs, double discs me

< SCG_Gillian >or i get disced, i always get angry and stop playing

< Squaredot >yeah, it counts as a loss and a dics or something

< SCG_Scary >Two because someone disced on me, and one because of simple b.net screw up

< SCG_Scary >If the disc's count as losses for them, why can't they give us wins...

< Squaredot >good question...

< Squaredot >have any comments on any of the players in the top 10?

< SCG_Scary >Anyway, only about 1/3 of my wins actually count, Which really discourages me to go looking for ladder games

< Squaredot >any predictions?

< SCG_Scary >I wouldn't know who's in the top 10 now

< SCG_Gillian >who is in the top ten?

< Squaredot >D22-soso, Kain-The-Feared, Grrr...., Gad, Love-Boat

< SCG_Scary >B.net won't seem to let me past 1275, I don't pay attention

< Squaredot >hehe

< Squaredot >its a curse!

< SCG_Gillian >the only people i know in the
top ten are x'ds grrr and kain the feared. if i had to pick one to win
i'd probably pick x'ds grrr

< Squaredot >He is in the PGL too i think

< Squaredot >Are the scgals planning on joining ISL next season?

< SCG_Scary >Those people make themselves very hard to contact

< Squaredot >yes, they do

< SCG_Gillian >yeah it looks good, maybe

< Squaredot >any teams you are looking forward to playing

< SCG_Gillian > Yes there are quite a few people there we'd want to play

< Squaredot >like who?

< SCG_Gillian >hmm

< SCG_Gillian >nafta, ph1

< SCG_Gillian >IN

< SCG_Gillian >Who else is in iSL?

< Squaredot >I think the imports.

< SCG_Gillian >and next season Rice says they'll join, so I look forward to that


< Squaredot >anything you'd like to say about the teams? Threats, etc?

< Squaredot >girls can talk as much trash as guys ... more so sometimes =p

< SCG_Gillian >hmm… I'd say we can do as well as anyone else in that league

< Squaredot >Plan on playing other games like War2 Platinum or Diablo 2 when they come out?

< SCG_Gillian >not really

< SCG_Scary >Some of us will probably play diablo2, but we don't really see the point of having a clan for it

< Squaredot >going to stick to SC? and BW

< SCG_Gillian >it sucks up enough time as it is

< SCG_Gillian >i don't think I have the time for a new game

< Squaredot >i have no choice… my comp can't run anything besides SC

< SCG_Scary >SC requires a 133 doesn't it?

< Squaredot >hehe

< Squaredot >a p90

< SCG_Scary >Yuck

< Squaredot >I Think it helps to have a 133

< SCG_Scary >I knew someone with a p90... who played

< SCG_Scary >Couldn't play maps over 96x96

< Squaredot >hehe

< Squaredot >what do you two like to say anything to all the female gamers out there?

< SCG_Gillian >anyway

back to ISL, he probably doesn't remember but i've played Tom Brokaw before

< Squaredot > did you beat him down?

< SCG_Scary >I'm here to play mostly, that one's for gill

< SCG_Gillian >I'll fill in the second question later

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >well, I think nafta is just a
little overrated, being undefeated and all. I didn't see anything
particularly special. Writes some interesting strats though. Probably
the best strats I've read, next to chaplan of course!

< SCG_Gillian >ok, first, about female gamers. i just want to say
that other female gamers shouldn't feel opressed or that they should
hide their gender- it's their right to game, and it doesn't matter if
they are good or not, it doesn't matter if scg is good, or if we suck.
people often tie their right to game to their skill, and that's just
incorrect

< Squaredot >do you think there will be more female gamers as time goes on?

< SCG_Gillian >and yes, there is alot of bull**** that women have to take in this rather male dominated community

< Squaredot >look at giggles

< SCG_Gillian >but they don't need encouraging
words from me to survive that, they will do just fine themselves. One
girl clan isn't going to make or break all of female gaming


< Squaredot >ive heard your clan has dished out a beating to a lot of clans out there.

< SCG_Gillian >yeah, I know, but even if we
start losing like mad, other girl gamers out there don't have to tie
themselves to us you know it makes no difference if we win or lose,
that says nothing about women in gaming

< Squaredot >do you think women feel intimidated by guys or games for that matter?

< SCG_Scary >I don't think so.

< SCG_Gillian >I think guys are sometimes intimidated
guys are intimidated because they feel that they can't lose to females


< Squaredot >yeah, I saw a show about something like that guys losing to girls

< Squaredot >but that was in Real life

< SCG_Scary >yes, we've taken a lot of crap from clans that can't handle losing to us


< Squaredot >really?

< SCG_Gillian >it's gotten as far as us being accused of res hacking.

< Squaredot >sheesh!

< Squaredot >i saw your idiots page too, that is funny heh

< SCG_Gillian >Two clans are now convinced we res hack

< Squaredot >i don't think there is even such thing as a res hack

< SCG_Gillian >There isn't

< SCG_Scary >there isn't

< SCG_Scary >it's just absurd

< Squaredot >thought so

< SCG_Scary >That's why it's so ridiculous

< Squaredot >well, I guess there are some guy clans out there that will say anything to make themselves feel better.

< SCG_Gillian >it's just very unfortunate, that they don't leave their egos at the door

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >in fact, I'll just give you the URL of the clan I'm talking about

< Squaredot >cool

< Squaredot >i think that's one reason there aren't too many females in gaming... men's egos

< SCG_Gillian >there: http://members.xoom.com/swkm2/RiceClan.htm

< SCG_Gillian >we defeated them 4-0 in a fair clan challenge, and then they come up with a story about res hacking

< Squaredot >Rice Clan?

< SCG_Gillian >if you go into the battles section you'll see their "evidence" that we res hack

< SCG_Gillian >yes, know them?

< Squaredot >Nope never heard of them

< SCG_Scary >Didn't think so

< Squaredot > =p

< SCG_Gillian >Basically they accused us of res
hacking, and that's just absurd since res hacks aren't possible. We
challenged them to a rematch with a ref to make sure that we aren't
hacking, someone suggested Chaplan of Starshack.

< Squaredot >did they decline?

< SCG_Gillian >Yes, they declined

< SCG_Scary >I haven't heard from them yet

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >Well, they show no intention of accepting, but I want to press them into accepting of course.

< Squaredot >they are probably changing their clan name as we speak

< SCG_Scary >Actually, Rice had completed this "merger" with another clan

< SCG_Gillian >anyway, if you want to see an
example of the crap that women have to deal with on bnet, just go read
their page

< SCG_Scary >And the clan they had "merged" with had played the majority of the games

< SCG_Scary >Yet, it's rice who are accusing us of everything

< Squaredot >have you played any well-known teams?

< SCG_Gillian >we played the feared a couple times, but they never seem to have kain on

< Squaredot >oh, how did you do against them?

< SCG_Gillian >That, and one of the feared and
his self proclaimed "webmaster god" friend. We've played a couple other
well known players, though I can't say who, it will reveal the names we
were using

< Squaredot >oh, smurfing?

< SCG_Gillian >oh yeah, infested terran from
bwdynasty. You should have heard this idiot. First he comes in and
talks so much smack

< SCG_Scary >Yes, can't allow anyone to know our smurfs

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >"i don't believe any girls can
be in the top 5%". Then he brings in his feared buddy like he'll take
care of business. We tell him "if we win, will you apologize for your
behavior on our forum?" and he says yes. But when they lose he just
ducks out

< Squaredot >haha. Wow, I guess a lot of well known people are real jerks

< SCG_Scary >what's more, he threatens that he
"could have us kicked off SCmil any time". But then the feared guy with
him said he wouldn't apologize because his partner sucked. That, is
what I found funny

< SCG_Gillian >So he got another feared for a partner, And lost. Then that first feared ducked out.

< SCG_Scary >yeah then 2 other feared, bash and

< SCG_Gillian >So we played a respectable rematch vs. 2 feared

< SCG_Scary >i forget, another, played us twice

< SCG_Gillian >Because the second feared was complaining about the first one sucking

< Squaredot >first one sucking?

< SCG_Gillian >Yes, Anyway

< Squaredot >heh

< SCG_Scary >See, the first feared to play, complained about his webmaster friend for sucking

< Squaredot >oh

< SCG_Scary >Then the feared he got to play with him complained about HIM sucking

< SCG_Gillian >i'm sure people reading this
probably don't care about no name bnet clans, It's all quite silly. But
that being said, we challenge Rice to a fair, refereed rematch. We
can't have these stupid allegations stand

< Squaredot >ill have to post somethingg about it on SCM

< SCG_Gillian >they won't accept, they are cowards

< SCG_Gillian >but hey, your readers can have a good laugh reading their page and their absurd logic

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >and we challenge any other clan reading this

< SCG_Gillian >not out of spite, just for something to do

< Squaredot >heh, your forum get real full with challenges doesn't it?

< SCG_Gillian >Yes, feel free to go to our page (http://scgals.scmillennium.com ) and post a challenge on our forum


< SCG_Scary >some days it gets hot, like 150

< SCG_Scary >something about the gal thing I suppose

< Squaredot >you play a lot of drawn out matches too don't know you? Best of 7-12?

< SCG_Gillian >The majority of the tourney's are best of 7. Basically, it allows more clan members to play

< Squaredot >thats a pretty good idea. Don't think I've heard of any other clans doing that.

< SCG_Scary >Yes, large clan's like FS we had a best of 15

< Squaredot >how did you gals fair against them?

< Squaredot >heard about them on Simple.Craft

< SCG_Gillian >well enough

< SCG_Scary >7-0, which is why it was best of 15

< SCG_Scary >Increased it to fit more games in

< Squaredot >oh

< SCG_Gillian >oh, I also want to say that we are not male hating feminists

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Gillian >people get that impression
sometimes, maybe because we are constantly fending off some jerks. But
our goal isn't to "prove" that females kick ass at SC or anything

< Squaredot >your just out there to have fun huh?

< SCG_Gillian >our goal is just to play challenging matches and have fun

< Squaredot >you shouldn't play the game if you are looking to
make a name for yourself or win lots of money

< SCG_Scary >yup

< SCG_Gillian >whether we win or lose wouldn't prove that women are all bad or all good at SC anyway

< SCG_Scary >You'll only get disappointed

< Squaredot >i'd like to win lot of money


< SCG_Gillian >oh yeah, win money, sha right

< Squaredot >hehe, you wouldn't like to win lots of money?


< SCG_Scary >Winning lots of money would be
nice, but it's not a first priority. We basically just like some good
competition, and this clan seems to be very effective at getting
competition. < SCG_Scary >At times
< Squaredot >find yourselves without game sometimes?

< SCG_Gillian >what do you mean at times?

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Scary >Sometimes the competition isn't very good

< SCG_Gillian >well, good or not, it's there

< SCG_Scary >But there seems to be having trouble finding games late night

< Squaredot >everyone is asleep! =]

< SCG_Scary >But I'm not!

< Squaredot >hehe

< SCG_Scary >Which is why it's annoying

< SCG_Gillian >yes well, that's another thing

< SCG_Scary >if anyone wants a game late at night, we are generally on then, that's the best time

< SCG_Scary >channel scgals

< SCG_Gillian >Yes

< Squaredot >so people, if you want a game late at night, go to Scgals


< SCG_Scary >yes, please, we prefer 2v2's Usually, unless we have only 3 members on

< Squaredot >then you play 3on3s?

< SCG_Scary >Of course. 4on4's are usually out of the question, if people want to come looking for those

< SCG_Gillian >no way

< Squaredot >yikes, talk about the lagg

< SCG_Scary >But if we're there you can almost always get a 2on2, and sometimes get a 3on3

< Squaredot >maybe my partner and I will stop by sometime… we are half decent , haven't played in a month though

< SCG_Scary >sure, stop by

< SCG_Gillian >if you want to be sure of getting us you should email though

< Squaredot >you gals are hard to catch

< SCG_Scary >We're there right now, well the
bot is in there. It's usually afk but if you say something i'll respond
when i see it.

< Squaredot >okie. Anything else you two would like to say?

< SCG_Scary >I'm not sure, gill?

< Squaredot >advertise your favorite drink?

< SCG_Gillian >yes

< SCG_Gillian >i have something to say to everyone reading this.
Try not to make too many assumptions about people. You'll be glad for
it. Just treat us as you would any other

< Squaredot >you know what they say about making assumptions...

< SCG_Gillian >no don't say it please

< Squaredot >hehe, I wasn't planning on it

< Squaredot >well, i guess if there isn't anything left to say...

good night then =p. Its 1:00 am here

< SCG_Gillian >Allright, Good night, nice talking to you

< Squaredot >thanks for the interview

< SCG_Scary >Thanks for doing it

< SCG_Scary >If you can't sleep we should be in our channel

< Squaredot >ok

< SCG_Scary >Grab a partner and stop by

< Squaredot >my partner went to sleep already =[
