I am sure I remember another post along these same lines, but can't remember the title.
I orginally got my wife hooked by playing hotseat games together and slowly introduced her to Space Empires. She enjoyed it cause we could beat up the AI together and we didn't have to fight each other, never a good idea for a happy marriage.
She normally plays a Peaceful race and I'm the agreesive one. But in her second PBW Game, she has turned the tables and started destorying a race cause the other Empire "Didn't reply to either of my requests for a treaty and I asked them 3 times".
Since then I've ensured I have replied to her every communication.
In Bad form, the player (who is staying nameless) then quit because he couldn't take the heat.
Women - No.
Girl - OK
Lady - Good
Princess - Bonus points.
