    Default I know advertisers aren't exactly... in touch... all the time

    Just saw this on mythweavers though, and I had to share.

    Wait, hold on, you join "secret chatrooms" that are advertised on banners that you can join for free?

    Well, huh.

    And that vampire looks like she got attacked with Botox straight from the source.

    This looks like a spot-on advertisement for the audience it is seeking, actually.

    Well, I meant that it wasn't very in touch with the place where it came up - on a comedy heavy Star Wars PbP on mythweavers. There is... I will admit, a certain type of audience that would love Botoxrayne.

    I watched a programme once about a bunch of people who pretended they were vampires--they'd actually drink blood, wear pointy false teeth, etc. So there's probably a market for this sort of thing, strange as it is.

    Hey. Do you want to help make a game?

    Due to real life issues, I have been gon without warning for a while. I seem to be back now until further notice.

    Thanks to Szilard for the Avatar!

    If I am ever wrong, feel free to correct me. Learning is awesomesauce.

    I like to edit my posts. A lot. As you may see, most of my posts will be edited, so if one is not, and you care about what I said, you may want to check it again a minute later.

    Yes.

    I hope you meant 'Evony's not in touch' and not 'that banner is an ad for Evony', because that would become even more hilarious than it actually already is.

    Dammit, those Evony ads are EVERYWHERE! I'm surprised they haven't shown up on here. I know this is an ad-free site, but Evony is like an epidemic, it's gonna break onto here eventually.

    I can't see the image. If there is an image.

    Also, what is Evony? I remember seeing a thread somewhere around here but I never looked at it.

    A city-builder browser game who's ads have gone from fantasy sword and knight sort of thing gradually to hot chicks until eventually it was literally just a set of breasts with Evony somewhere in the advert...

    Evony sounds like one of those "free rpg's" that always have adds depicting women in less than modest clothing either in distress of in evocative poses.

    EDIT: Haha! Spot on!

    As for Vampire City it sounds like just another forum targeting a certain part of the population that in reality wouldn't be interested in it in the first place.

    Why are vampire being so disgraced now a days? There was a time when vampires were evil fiends with their own castles and undead slaves, but now people only care about the romantic life of these undead bloodsuckers (Twilight, True Blood). I want things to go back to the way they were and vampires being evil like they are in the MM.

    Oh god. That's perfect for a horribly geriatric parody porn.
