    to be honest I first clicked on a "Civony" ad because the girl was pretty hot and I wanted to know what that was all about.

    I really laffed when I found out it was a medieval based browser game ripped off from like 4 different other games

    Nothing sexy about this game so it's sad it's being advertised that way. My building timer only gave me wood once so that doesn't count. Come play Evony.. we've got knights and nipples!!

    Very funny and interesting thread, it's always the same, sex sells ! I just wonder why a good browser game need to use this kind of methods to bring more player. I also hope that those who are responsible of theses ads aren't the same who are responsible of this game.

    Dude, American society is the new Babylon. Everywhere you go your senses are attacked by sex ads. I really, really hate advertising in general.

    As the late comedian Bill Gates says:

    "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 **** and you are **** us, kill yourselves, it's the only way to save your **** soul. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show."

    It's like its the advertising policy. If you don't show skin, your marketting fails. It sucks because everything copies everything these days. If you aren't copying the leading corporation's moves as a small business you're sunk. So Evony just jumps on that bandwagon. I don't mind save the queen, but man do it so she doesn't look like she's having an orgasm in every single pic.

    I bet you're right. I haven't been for a long time (since my france-spain trip in HS), but yea sex is a lot more open there.

    In Europe it'll be: Save the queen and king! To target the "on the fence" audience. And it'll have actual nudity like that soap commercial I watched in Paris.

    I do not actively participate in Evony combat and the like because the game is retarded and redundant but I do log on alot to talk to people ingame, I have made alot of friends.

    As for you Kempion I am glad you finally came in here to toot your little game designer horn and act all high and mighty like you just might know something other than the outside of mother's basement.

    I am well aware how this is all just about money, evony was created purely to put money in someone's pocket. It is not about the masses of idiots that play this game it is about the people living in mom's basement who can be suckered into buying that ritual of pact or that master guideline or 50 wheel of food spins or whatever.

    I think the ads are funny as it shows you just how far people will go to sell a product, instead of showing what the game is really about or giving you half a clue what evony might be they just show you some boobs and hope you go for it. Also using women like that doesnt propagate any kind of powerbase for women it just shows how easy you sheeple drool over boobies and the real men in this world will always keep you sheeple underfoot by luring you in with whatever it takes. You can go sit down now kid.

    I guess that explains why kemp is such a fanboy. He IS the target audience.

    The US is too Puritan to be open about sex. I mean, gosh, people still believe there is an old man living in the clouds who watches their every move and hears their every thought. It's cartoonish, but people actually believe in that kind of God.

    Europe is older. I wouldn't say more mature because they are prone to screwing up more than we are in the States. They've pretty much given up on ideals. Ideals which make America what it is ar largely ignored overseas not just in Europe. A society has to have a common core of beliefs in order to survive. This is why the New European Bloc will fail. Common currency is not an ideal - it's extreme vanity.

    I would venture to guess the openess of sexuality in Europe has more to do with finding a new thrill when the old one becomes lame. Does taht make sense? There's a better way to put it but that escapes me at the moment. It's not a state of progressiveness as it is a slippery slope into oblivion. When you are no longer swayed by bewbz, show some vag. When that no longer moves your audience, live sex shows sponsored by Pizza Hut. After those get stale... live executions sponsored by Proctor&Gamble?

    You, like your words, serve no purpose here.

    This will only lead to this thread being locked. The mods have been instructed to shuitdown sniping. I don't mind the sniping; however, it's not good for business to have newcomers coming on here just to be taken aback by some sharp shooting.

    I've offered to debate anyone about any topic PRIVATELY many times in the past. As of yet, nobody has even bothered to try. I guess it all comes down to public stroking of ones epeen.

    EDIT:
    BTW, you all now have 32 minutes remaining.

    Then you should have quoted him, it felt like you were speaking to me as well.

    I live in Holland which is obviously in Europe and the sex ads are not worse then in America.
