"Free Online Game" Banner Ads - A new low, or an inevitable result? - Page 11

I don't... see the problem with the ad in question? It's just a little eye candy to go with your browsing exploits, is all. What's not sexy about any kind of object - especially ones that are shiny - wedged tight in the cleavage of an adventuring elf maiden?

The problem with the ad is that it says virtually nothing about the game in question. The entirety of the conveyed message is "Click here and get tits! And there's a game or something too."

I still haven't actually clicked on it to find out what the game is. As far as i'm concerned its girls with tits and gems being used in a sexual suggestive way dueling each other to obtain the other girls gems.

Ten bucks say it's one of those line-up-three-symbols things.

You're probably right, but that doesn't exclude the fact that the game ad implies nothing that even seems like that except the boob gem.

It's pretty much a Civilization game... at least, that's what that earlier article posted here said.

In other words, completely not what you'd expect by clicking a pair of tits.

The ad in the first post is unrelated to Evony.

Hey! Some of us are working here!

Yeah, maybe that is a little over the line, although it doesn't seem any worse than the naked fat guy. I'll remove it, although if you're working, the "lets one-up each other's horrifying images" thread probably isn't the best place to browse.

Civony itself is a lot like Travian (I think - never played Travian) and is fairly meh. The community is actually pretty nice (with the exception of those guys who won't stop raiding you) and they're all conscious of Civony's (sorry - Evony's) rather ridiculous ad campaign.

And that's really about all there is to say.
