And Evony's got a new ad! Two girls this time, but they're so pale they look like mannequins or something.

They also have one with a dude in armor.

I'm so confused! Does he have Great Cleavage?

The Feat! The Feat!

I swear, those ads are everywhere I spend a lot of time on. I've seen 'em on some of my favorite webcomics, they're on TVtropes and on ENWorld. I'm doomed, I guess...

Yeah, that I think is the first ad they had when they changed the name. I mentioned it above, I forgot that it was an open-faced helm. It's a guy, so naturally I paid it far less heed than the Civony ads.

And the Queen is STILL in my sidebar.

I had been more or less ignoring the Evony ads ...

... but this morning I woke up to find out that I create 4e utility packs.

Somehow my ad-counterpart just really twists my brain around.

Maybe you do indeed make 4E utility packs. Maybe we have a Tyler Durden thing going. What are you up to tonight? Maybe we can go steal fat to make into soap.

I thought you were making them too. I thought it was cool that another ENWorld member had made a break into the gaming industry. Turns out I was thinking of the wrong member.

Alright, some slightly different evony ads I'm seeing now. First thought: hurray for the lower camera focus! For a while they had shifted to just head and neck, like they felt ashamed for pushing animated T&A. I also found some of the flashing promotional text to be amusing. Observe:

Oddly enough, in the past day or so, I've only been getting the knight ad. I don't know if it's luck of the draw or what.

I'm getting the lady with her eyes closed. This time, however, she has a blouse on.
