What is the story with those dominion ads??

It wasn't totally pointless as we now got a frisky hunk to look at. That is what we wanted, right? Right?!

I liked the old ad better.

I agree with argitoth though, even if I have a slightly different point of view. I find the discussion and endless trolling about things that don't even register as trivial matters for most people rather funny.

Sorry, fully clothed women were too heteroerotic for you; the old ads are gone forever!

Ehehe, these ads sure are causing a lot of conflict. Thank god we finally have gender neutrality in the ad-world!

I suggest we all simply stop posting about this. It's become a sour topic. I remain disappointed by Shrapnel's responses, but think it really isn't important enough to let it damage our enjoyment of the game or the forum. After all, Shrapnel aren't really that important to the game as far as we're concerned - they ship the game to us and give us the forum, and that's it. KO and JK are the important people, and they remain legends in their own time.

I agree with Llama. I have expressed myself on this topic and it isn't worth me arguing about it further.

Well, it looks like Shrapnel has pulled all of the new ads but the "Kill Bill" one now. Thank you for that. This year's April was a really long one, huh?

I didn't get the time to voice my criticism on the ads appropriately, but you know my position on this. My biggest problem was that it was just a lame way of advertising. Like many others already said, the ads didn't have anything to do with the product and they just looked plain unprofessional. The girls were certainly hot, but that "I want my Dom 3" line looked as if some teenager just created his first banner for his Myspace page. It certainly was not in line with the usual quality of your other ads.

Now all that remains is the samurai one, and that's fine by me - at least she is holding a sword! Honestly, chain mail bikini's are cool in my book. As long as an ad for a fantasy themed strategy game like Dom3 looks anything like it, okay.

Edit: Oh no, wait. Smiling surfer dude is still with us.

Now, now. Now you're jumping to conclusions. Just from the looks of that one guy you're assuming he's a surfer.

It would be just as valid for me to conclude from their looks that the chicks in the previous adds were obviously passionate wargamers. As clearly, from all the women I know that I have seen scantily dressed and look that hot, not a single one was not a wargamer. With which I obviously proved the relevance of the first set of adds.

That sounds like subtleties in definition. Are we talking about the empty set here?
