    I have noticed that everytime some gets down the message in the chat box says: "<player name> is down at <x: y: z:> hurry revive him!" and to be honest that is slightly sexist. so I was thinking that the gender command should be added to zombies. The command would be "/gender <gender>" and of course the choices would be male or female, once the command is entered the message will appear as either:"<player name> is down at <x: y: z:> hurry revive her!" or "<player name> is down at <x: y: z:> hurry revive him!"

    It's not trying to be sexist there. It's a "majority rules" kind of bit. Yes, females do play video games, we know this; but it's under 51%, where as guys are above that 51%. It's around 45% for female gamers and 55% for male gamers. (This is including social network gaming; ie Farmville and other games similar)

    @fuzzy_bot or @psgs will know more of the detailing in coding and if they see fit on a reason to implement this change into the zombie death system, they can add it if they wish/choose so.

    still though, add this small extension to AEM zombies. Please. It isn't much I am asking for. Just add this small feature so that the female gamers of AEM zombies know that they are being recognized. I apologize if I sound like I'm begging I'm not trying to make it seem that way.

    Alternative and easier fix
    "Quick, Revive him!" -> "Quick, Revive them!"
