You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

Armageddon: Feckin' Dickens-whelps.

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

I was thinking about what makes the game compelling to me.  One is the harshness and desperation of the world.  One is the intrigue of how we all interact with one another.  And the last thing is the thing we don't talk much about which is the insane beauty in this game.  Like there are rooms out there that are breathtakingly beautiful in their description.  And there are clothes and jewelry designs as well.

With that in mind, here's a few ideas.  Someone else can probably do better.

Turmoil, Beauty, Intrigue

Ruin, Splendor, Power

Sitting in your comfort,
You don't believe I'm real,
But you cannot buy protection
from the way that I feel.

Armageddon:

Shoulda
Woulda
Coulda

Armageddon:

Hindsight is 20/20

If we are not happy with "murder", why not change it to survival?

Armageddon: Corruption, Betrayal, Survival
Armageddon: Survival in a world full of Corruption and Betrayal.
A foreign presence contacts your mind.

You think:
"No! Please leave me be whoever you are."

You sense a foreign presence withdraw from your mind.

My only real contribution, I'm not good at this:

ArmageddonMUD:  Survival in a Corrupt World

This is very much like mine. :) I like this.
A foreign presence contacts your mind.

You think:
"No! Please leave me be whoever you are."

You sense a foreign presence withdraw from your mind.



Come play, your desires await.
At your table, the XXXXXXXX templar says in sirihish, echoing:
     "Everyone is SAFE in His Walls."

The tagline has always advertise some of the game strengths. The game should continue to do so with making it sound like utter fantastical bullshit.

This would be my choice:

Corruption. Betrayal. Death.

But i agree this could work too:

Corruption. Betrayal. Survival.

Would add the line: Everyone dies under the harsh desert sun. Will you be remembered?

Without permadeath, and the excitment that comes from needing to watch your back even from your friend this game would not have been an exciting experience for everyone. Or that feeling of build up when you go into a mission where someone could die even due to npcs. You arent surviving or even living without death. Permadeath is what a important part of what makes this game special.

My vote would go to not having a tagline at all. I think we'd be better off without one.

This tastes like ordinary meat.
There is nothing left now.

Bone fucking swords.
We were somewhere near the Shield Wall, on the edge of the Red Desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

In the end, the desert claims us all.

In the end,
the desert takes all.

Hrm.

I'd go with one of these inspired by Goosebumps book titles

How I Got My Shrunken Head
Let's Get Invisible
Egg Monsters From Yaroch
Bard Lessons Can Be Murder
The Dwarf That Ate Everyone
Why I'm Afraid of Elves

I always thought the tagline should reflect the gameworld actively playing out. An interesting opportunity with each season.

Armageddon Season 1:

"Shifting sands and strange skies"
"Tektolnes meat preview"
"No Muk No Cry"

I do kinda like the idea of changing seasonal taglines, they could be season/chapter related!

All in on Allanak


Ozymandias Online.

"Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Unfortunately I cribbed all this when I was looking for -words- online. (A 2017 review, and Shelley.)

That beauty and truth should pass utterly

Friendship * Happiness * And Nobody Dies
The glowing Nessalin Nebula flickers eternally overhead.
This Angers The Shade of Nessalin.

lol. Makes hello kitty island adventures sit down and take notes?


Armageddon - The Highlord's Shadow
Armageddon - Loyalty, Corruption, Betrayal
Armageddon - Empire of Shadows
Armageddon - Forged in Darkness
Death is only the beginning...

Armageddon: Beauty and Betrayal Amidst the Blood-soaked Sands
Back from a long retirement

Armageddon:

Grunt. Aye. Ruff circle.

Quote from: MarshallDFX on May 28, 2024, 05:41:27 PMHow about a short sentence like:

Tell your own story in a post-apocalyptic Zalanthas, a ruined land ruled by sorcerer-kings and their powerful templarate...

(If you live)

Whatever format (within reason, guys, no ascii vulgar art) you like, we'll look at them all.

Welp, there's goes my giant middle finger idea...
