Default Re: The travesty has (not) ended

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.
