Are we war gamers? I can see that people who like war games would like dominions, but still.

I just wanted to say that my father was quite upset when I told him I was collecting virgins for sacrifices.

I have to nod to folket.

I don't like wargames. they bore me to tears. When I read that dominions 3 was, in fact, a wargame, the thought struck me as something plainly plausible, but which had never occured to me. Dom3 is a _war_game? I had to consider it carefully. I guess it kind of fits the bill, but not really. For one it isn't full of stuffy stuffiness stuff. Rule one of wargames is that they must be stuffy. Look at all the ads for all the other wargames on this site (I've pointed this out before) they all tout their "stuffinexity" and "attention to obtusivity". Dom3 has "ambiancivity" and an "attention to funability" with a slight taste of "interestingly game-enhancing buggivity"; but clearly no stuffiness. I don't think wargames in general appeal to Dom3 players, and I think Dom3 may appeal to wargamers, but they would probably prefer something a little, you know, stuffier.

I always kind of pictured the Dom3 players as a little hipper than your average wargamer. Not so concerned with complexity or detail, as much as the ambiance and fun of a game. Now given the reaction over some silly ads, maybe not.

BTW, why are their no black woman, or latina women, or indian women? How bout a persian woman? Rawwwr. Put a tiger in my tank. Persians are easily the hottest women alive. Indian women are a close second. Why do you think they produced Kama Sutra while the Europeans produced the inquisition. I demand a Dom3 ad with a non-white female.

I'm/you're so unhip it's a wonder mine/your bums don't fall off.

I demand a Dom3 ad with a tentacle monster* and a Japanese schoolgirl.
*-maybe a "Dark Vines"?

Re: The travesty has (not) ended
 

I play Dom3 on a Macbook while listening to an Ipod and drinking a latte while eating a scone in a downtown coffee shop and talking condescendingly about... everyone else. Therefore I am _hipply_ playing Dom3.

Kinky.

Dark Vines stun their victims, wouldn't be that exciting. The Bog beast is still available, though.

Rune smasher would work well as only the truly hip would understand the implications.

Omni, can I borrow a copy of your dictionary? My vocabulary is significantly lacking esotericity. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yes, we are wargamers. We are extremely twisted wargamers, but wargamers all the same. You can't deny it... look at all the geeky posts. We may not be running up Napoleonic cannon to support, but it is basically the same. I don't play classic war games anymore though. Dominions is about all I play on that front.
