Evony Ad

Now I'm not one to knee-jerk about sex being used to sell products, but...

I like to think they were intentionally going for Over-The-Top, but if it just happened naturally...

I mean, it's not even titillating. It's more "Hahaha! Oh wow!"

That ad is just bad.

The other ad, at least, showed more cleavage

Assuming you're not talking about the not even close to arousing cleavage...

Yeah, the first time I saw it, and the placement of the "sword" (yeah, it's a real sword, but I felt the need to quote), it made me think the sword was a stand-in for something else.

But it's at least pointed towards her throat/chest, as if prepared to kill her, as opposed to the absolutely "not really a sword" symbolism if it were at say...mouth level. I just found it funny, and wonderd if that was on purpose, or unintentionally hilarious.

You forgot to mention that princess's facial expression. Instead of being scared or worried, it comes off as a vacant pouty "I'm forced to do porn to pay off my student loans, so I'll halfass it since I feel ashamed of myself." Then again, it would have been totally wrong if she had a satisfied or a surpised "your 'sword' is huge!" look on her face.

The cleavage in the first ad above looks like the artist's great grandmother was posing for him...

Ewww... just ... ewwww.

Jaerdaph, that was wrong... so very wrong.

slightly less disturbing than the heavy cleavage flyff ads.

Now my sword is pointing down.

My wrist is tired! What?

If that was supposed to clear up any misunderstandings, you failed.

Some people just have dirty minds...

Wait a second, I just noticed. Your ad pic is for Civony, the OP's is for Evony. Are they the same game?

Dannyalcatraz · 6th June 2009, 09:47 AM

I don't know, but I was in Meta just a while ago, and a different EVONY ad showed up, with a slightly different pose for the woman in the blue dress (presumably the queen)- its a tad bit more full frontal.

The sword, though, is still droopy.

Relique du Madde · 6th June 2009, 01:56 PM

They are the same. Appearantly, Civony changed it's name to Evony when it entered beta. I'm willing to bet it was done forlegal reasons.

megamania · 6th June 2009, 06:57 PM

There is so much T&A in advertisements these days that I didn't really notice.

or am I just getting too old....?

Relique du Madde · 7th June 2009, 03:09 AM

You're probably only gettting that distorted ad that looks like it was created using clip art, or that one with the goth girl which is for some dating site.

ssampier · 7th June 2009, 06:26 AM

As stated Civony changed its name; the old name forwards to the new one automatically.

As for frankthedm, the first one is quasi-pr0n, the second, bobbleheads?
