@Leif_-: Roughly agreed. I would just draw the line before the fourth best according to your rating...at least for deciding for myself whether I would show myself in the public with such a shirt

Some good suggestions there, but shouldnt a t-shirt hold something non-players should understand?
Totally from a Publisher's point of view: The best slogan is one that will make someone reading the t-shirt ask the wearer "What is this about?" or at least want to make the reader visit the website.

Agreed. Besides the fact that its the companys who will decide what goes on the shirts... I think I would still prefer to wear a shirt that had something to make people interested in the game. Some of these are funny and would be great to wear at a "Dominions" convention, but not for the public. That doesnt mean they are wasted. They will make great sig files for Posts here or on Usenet newsGroups.

I also think that I would automatically NOT want to wear anything with bible or quran quotes. It just brings conversations to mind that I dont want to be part of. An interested person based on those, who asked what Dominions was, might not like the description. Just not the discussion I would want to have in a grocery store.

Im trying to come up with more that challenge people who think they can handle a GOOD strategy game.

I'm busy and feeling all-around uncreative, but my only request is that the saying picked have some distinctive Dominions II flavor to it. It shouldn't be a quote that could be applied to just about any other GodGame out there -- it needs to have flavor that is both immediately recognizable to Dominions II players and intriguing/unique enough for non-players to ask "Hey, what's THAT all about?"

So, yeah, cool quotes that come from movies, literature, and commercials or other stuff that could be found in variety of non-Dominions contexts shouldn't be up for the running. I'll list a few of my Favorites here in a sec.

If the T shirt is going to look like the game/bookcover, I hope its going to be a short message inside the globe. Not something to long

I would like to see a blue T-shirt with the following (and the Last part to be in the globe- instead of the words "The Ascension Wars")

1)
Dominions II
We all start as pretenders!

2) Dominions II
still researching after all these turns

3)Dominions II
where communion is for slaves

4)Dominions II
where every thing has a counter

5)Dominions II
where driveby priestings happends

6) Dominions II
if anything can compare with MoM

number 6 was the reason that actual look on this awesome game, though I forgot where and who and how exsactly that was worded. BUT certainly a t-shirt I would love to where on a gamers con. But you offcause have to know what MoM does refeers to here! Or at least put in something like "Strategy game of the decade" or something simillar
