August 06, 01:40 PM
FUN TIMES HAPPY DANCE!!! It’s time to announce our new class of Frag Doll Cadettes! We got over 50 applications to the Fall 2010 class of our Frag Doll Cadette Academy, from which we narrowed the pool down to the best half of all applicants. We then applied the random lottery process to that remaining group. These 12 Cadettes represent the hard work of a good application, enough talent to stand-out, and a little bit of luck. Instead of introducing them myself, I’ll let them introduce themselves through their applicant videos.

Morgan Romine, better known as “Rhoulette” in the video game online community, epitomizes the complex super hero-like persona that her gamer-tag portrays: sophisticated, classy, educated and feminine while also a tech-head, “gamer geek” and no-nonsense former Pac-10 basketball player who has the ability to excel in multiple areas both professionally and personally.
Romine is currently a graduate student at the University of California, Irvine studying to get a PhD in cultural anthropology. She plans to research sociality in online communities, and is specifically interested in how achievement systems in online multiplayer videogames are designed and how they impact peoples’ lives both in and out of the game. Her background as a community manager for Ubisoft and experience as a Frag Doll provide a strong foundation for understanding online cultural phenomena.
Romine helped found and build Ubisoft’s all-girl gaming team, the Frag Dolls and as captain of the team, she serves as spokesperson, gamer, road manager, and liaison between the team and Ubisoft. In 2006 she was named one of the game industry’s Top 100 Most Influential Women by www.next-gen.biz for her work with the Frag Dolls, and again named one of The Most Influential Women in Tech by www.FastCompany.com in 2009.
Although Romine’s tenure in the video game industry began after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, she’s no ‘n00b’ to video games. She started out playing video games when she was six years old and she’s been playing ever since, with online games as her current passion. In fact, her introduction to Ubisoft was through their MMORPG title, Shadowbane, where she led a clan of more than 200 players. Currently she is playing games like World of Warcraft, Assassin’s Creed 2, Dragon Age:Origins, Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Romine is excited about the continued growth of the video game industry and how women will play an integral role as gamers and within the business itself.
