We were in the midst of war when he commented something to the effect of complimenting me for innovative defensive tactics.

Usual chat, but I decided to reply "aw, go on you make a girl blush " and it just evolved straight from that single off-hand comment.

Again, not something I really planned nor expected to work out well. But it was totally interesting that a peace agreement was brokered nearly immediately after.

Then when I broke the agreement, the player went off on how I was just like every other woman in his life. Some personal oversharing actually, peppered with general sexism.

Actually felt bad that I deceived him after that. Think I'll stick to being an androgynous atomic phenomenon from here on out.

I did it in part because I had played vs a 'girl' quite a while back - Uglygirl was her name. I was very cognisant of my own personal altered interaction with her vs everyone else on the map. She ended up winning the game and in my own mental post-game analysis I realized that if I would have treated her the same as everyone else I likely would have got the win.

I decided to try it and am glad I did, but I doubt I'll do it again any time soon.
