I can honestly say that the current ad campaign made me hesitate before referring someone to this site for information. That has never happened here before.

Re: What is the story with those dominion ads??
Wow 
Not me. Those ads make me laugh, and pleased some more folks also. They are fun because they are "out of topic".
Come on, boys, showing a woman in an ad is NOT evil.  |

Agreed. I fully admit to not only liking to look at attractive women, scantily clad or not, but that the whole thing here is amusing and interesting and certainly not offensive.

Or men, and I'm not talking about fat'n'hairy porn stars put in as a gag. I want boys so pretty that they'd make straight men go gay.  |

Re: What is the story with those dominion ads??
So Jurri, what do you do if some "concerned segment" gets offended by blood sacrifice of virgins in the game? Take 'em out?

Re: What is the story with those dominion ads??
All right folks, just to prove that we do listen we'll be launching a new ad campaign soon. It will still feature beautiful women hawking Dominions 3 but they will be clad in burkas so as not to offend anyone. How about that as a compromise?
Finally I'd just like to point out that we're running ATF ads in the same vein and yet I don't think we've had one person worry about those. I guess that's just a different crowd.
And with that I don't think there's anything more I can add to this discussion. Everyone play nice now...

Re: What is the story with those dominion ads??
That's great Krol! Let me know when you get those out.
Before you go I'd just like to say thanks for not understanding and for being disrespectful. You did a bang-up job of representing Shrapnel!

I demand a new Dominions add with a Bog Monster, and a sword, and blood. And the lady from the first ad. Or I will never pay for a sixth copy of Dominions III. Unless
I make another geeky friend.
