You've got nothing. Ad hominem ad nauseum.

I've seen the add around a few times but never really paid attention to it. Finally, I had a mediafire tab open, and the ad was right there. I figured, what the heck, I'll try the game out. And here I am. It's how I found several free game sites that I like to play or will end up trying out. Well, that's about all there is to it.
Well i dont see you coming up with anything, and maybe you would care to translate that last part, du huurensohn.
So here we are then, in a ditch, totally off the rails.
Nice job Kempion (sorry Trickee), once again you have manged to derail a thread and bring it down to a name calling fight in the hope that a mod will close it.
I still don't see what you get from being such a staunch defender of the faith ?
For fun, i made some good friends here, also we are planning to do an "asado" (argentinian tipic food on lunchs) one of this weekends xD
Thank you, this added so very much.
Trickee, you are an idiot.
An ad is supposed to give you some concept of what the game is about.
If the boobs were telling you to command an army, instead of saving your lover, this wouldn't be an issue. Hell, I'd support those ads! Talking boobs, giving me an army? That'd be sweet!
But, as it stands, the boobs are just hypnotizing people into joining this game under false pretexts. The scantily clad women, they aren't the issue. It's the fact that they don't communicate any sense of the game.
So, your argument is rendered invalid, and you are proven to be a stupid troll.
On behalf of everyone here, I banish you from this thread. BEGONE!
i play because when i signed up.. i thought it was for a dating site..
then i saw the queen contest.. so i stuck around..
i was plannin on quittin after they finished the queen election..
... so thats why im STILL here
Advertisers using attractive women to sell an unrelated product?? That has never happened before! Note the sarcasm there... just making sure.
Oh what a weak-minded person you must be... forced in to playing a game by a simple advertisement. You're a marketers dream. Those Nigerian email scammers just need to put an image of a woman wearing a bra in their emails and they'll have your bank account details in no time... since you seem to get hypnotized so easily. I wonder what else you'd do just for a chance of seeing a picture of a clothed female.
Wow. You completely missed the point. You must be Kempion.
For your information, I started playing BEFORE those adds. In March actually.
Now, the point, which you missed: Wait, I need to make sure a simpleton like yourself needs to understand.
THE POINT YOU MISSED, WAS THAT THE ADS DON'T MENTION WHAT THE GAME IS ABOUT. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BOOBS. IT'S ABOUT LACK OF COMMUNICATION OF THE PRODUCT. ONCE AGAIN, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
I started playing when the ads were just some knights telling me to 'play for free'.
I didn't really pay attention to the queen calling me 'my lord',because as a chick who plays videogames and mmo's i'm used to the ... shall we say... male-oriented, scantily clad/damsel in distress women who appeal to gamers.
But seriously evony? Just showing a set of boobies in a $10 lace bra? That's what you've stooped to? I mean, you didn't even try and hide the fact that you were trying to draw in horny teenage boys who can only type with one hand because their other hand is busy j4cking off to your ad. (Sorry if that word offends anyone >.<)
Most mmo's I play on at least try and hide their intentions by giving their ad girls a sword or a fancy little flag to hold while they pose half naked, but this is a new level of one sided advertising...
Seriously, throw us gamer girls a bone and at least include a chippendales dancer next to the next boobie ad ;-)
Getting angry are you? Calm down and you'll see that I already addressed and dismissed your point, it was the first line of my post actually... hard to miss it.
The article in the Guardian hit Reddit today....
The point was, like I already said, that it is standard practice in the advertising world to use attractive women to sell unrelated products. You don't go to a Hooters restaurant to buy a woman, they sell food and drink... an unrelated product to what they use to lure in people. Just look around you... on TV, billboards, car shows, everywhere. It is still up to you whether you buy or not. You may not like it but you're not going to change how the world works either.
Honestly you know it could be so much worse. At least the evony ads show quiet boobies.
I'm tired of jumping to different sites and some dude says really loudly that I won a free wii system or w/e.
Or those stupid flash ads that take up the whole screen with explosions and a hidden "x" close box somewhere in the corner.
Or the slap Susan Boyle ad by clicking on it (which I had to click on it :().
So until I hear buttons popping from boobs sound effects or something that takes up my whole screen, it doesn't bother me. I'm so desensitized from TV commercials, billboards and freakin' theater commercials that I can afford to ignore the silent Evony ad.
You can't possibly be trying to condone other ads while harping on Evonys. Don't even try it.
Here's my answer to that (from Bill Hicks):
"By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself. Thank you, thank you. Just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they'll take root. I don't know. You try. You do what you can. Kill yourselves. Seriously though, if you are, do. No really, there's no rationalisation for what you do, and you are Satan's little helpers, OK? Kill yourselves, seriously. You're the ruiner of all things good. Seriously, no, this is not a joke. "There's gonna be a joke coming..." There's no [insert word here] joke coming, you are Satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage, you are [insert word here] and you are [insert word here] us, kill yourselves, it's the only way to save your [insert word here]. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show.
You know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar, that's a big dollar, a lot of people are feeling that indignation, we've done research, huge market. He's doing a good thing." [Insert word here], I'm not doing that, you scumbags, quit putting a [insert word here] dollar sign on every [insert word here] thing on this planet!"
Thank you. Cause if evony ads are satanspawn w/ boobs. All other ads are Satan's little helper.
Thx to advertisement, be happy you don't go to your grave with some powerful affirmation of life in your head, but the burned pictures that have bombarded you all your life: Evony boobs, Energizer bunnies and McDonald's golden arches.
lol who cares?????????....the funny part is that everyone is complaining but i guarantee all of you still play and have a great time doin it!!!!...so lighten up its just an ad play the game and quit crying over boobs!!!!!....lmao!!!!
listen im not trying to fight with anyone....i myself just dont see the big deal...i know its a rediculous ad and it doesnt say anything about the game...but does that really matter?...is it affecting your life or your game play?...i highly doubt it and if it is affecting anyones life maybe they need to consider finding something else to do!..lol
The way you post, it really sounds aggressive. You may want to look into that if you don't want a fight.
And, it affects our game play when we have people constantly asking "wer cn i fnd teh bewbs????"
Or, "iz u a wumen?"
Seriously, that tends to **** with my gameplay.
ok i totally understand your point there...but let me tell you this i play alot of online games and i mean alot!!!!...and every single one of them are over flowing with perverts!!!!...i play wizard 101 for example and there is no kind of sexual content on that game AT ALL! but all day long i see nasty perverts trying to pick up on little girls...this is everywhere you go online it will never stop no matter the game or the ads but i totally agree i see alot of that crap on here..and if you want the truth i think that online gaming that involves adults shouldnt have children on the site it just make for bad things to come your point is well taken and i belive they should remove the ads and make them tastefull and less degrading...the point im trying to make is that its gonna be everywhere you go online so maybe its just better to ignore it and have fun...
sorry about my grammer it not all that great...lol
You make a good point about the perverts being everywhere, but other games don't willfully and purposely draw them in with misleading ads.
your right i cant argue with that...and that should change its disgusting..who knows maybe all of this will help and they might change it ...anyway sorry if i got you all worked up it wasnt my intentions i understand your point fully and i support it i was just trying to get my point across as well...take care and have fun!
Reading this thread has been GREAT entertainment...had to comment before the mods get on tomorrow and close it, lol.
I'm not offended by the boob ads, but I do see where some people would be.
I also see how it could attract the wrong type of crowd to the game...how are 12-14 year old boys going to pay for any game cents? As soon as a pervert realizes its just a strategy game, they are out too....so what's the point of showing off some boobs? Money NOT well spent.
The first thing you are taught in marketing 101: Know the demographic you want to attract.
Quit spending cash on awful ads so that you have to charge in order to obtain rose medals. :)
This thread is old, the mods are well aware of it and haven't closed it. They've also made several statements that these ADs are working, they're making money with this tactic. You assume too much without knowing any of the facts. Teenagers play games like warcraft/conan/warhammer too, all of those cost money, so your point about teenagers not having money to spend online is wrong. It may not be coming out of their own pockets but money is money and this game was not created by a non-profit organization.
