Re: Dominions II T-Shirt Contest
 

My favourites, after long thoughtful contemplation (five would have been easier than three):

Tricon's 1: "...And I shall strike thee with furious anger..." Bob 3:17(a.m.)

Gandalf's 11: The Ascension is yours! (some assembly required)

E.Albright's 5: God is dead. Well, yours is, anyway...

These come in no particular order.

Oh, and I'd vote for a *black* t-shirt. Really. Noone who ever roleplayed and only very few computer geeks wear white t-shirts.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">They're using Cafepress as the back-end, though, and Cafepress doesn't sell black T-shirts, as it's a lot trickier to print on black cloth than on white.

Re: Dominions II T-Shirt Contest
 

Alot of these I really like but I dont want to put Shrapnel into a quandary. So after I take out any that might be copyright problems, then any that would mean nothing to someone who never played the game, then any that would just start a fight with religious people....
Well anyway the best would be ones that make people ask about the game. The rest Ive added alot of to my favorite sig lines.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hmm, coloured t-shirts in massproduction are around 0.50? more than prints on white a piece, at least around german copyshops. And if the printer uses quality material that won't rub off after the first wash, the printing process is by no means more complicated.

Too bad the printer does not offer anything other but white t-shirts. However, will anyone actually buy this? I could convince myself for a black-shirt to wear on conventions and such, but definitely not in white. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif But maybe that's just me.

Re: Dominions II T-Shirt Contest
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, but Cafepress doesn't do mass-production, but print on demand, which has different economics.

Re: Dominions II T-Shirt Contest
 

My top choice, (apart from all of mine :-)) is the "Bob 3:17(am)" quote.

I really don't like "Något gick fel", as it's not actually anything to do with the game, and is an in joke that only some forumites and people who've found that error message have seen.

Even if people did enquire, the conversation might go:

Punter "Why does your t shirt say that on it?"

Tshirt wearer "It's from a quote that isn't meant to come up at all, which comes up when the game doesn't work"

Punter "and that's well known enough to be on a T-Shirt? Um....ok. I think I'll pass on buying that then"

"Nagot gick fel", which is a really nice insider, but personally I'ld rather not wear a shirt where everybody (else)either thinks I'm gramatically challenged or asks me what it means and I have to explain it.(edited)

Following example and avoiding my own entries =), gotta "give props" to:

Caffeine sold separately. - kel
Over 1080 unique units and we still mod! - leif

Re: Dominions II T-Shirt Contest
 

"Nagot gick fel" is the best
This is the best because only people who play the game will get it...and other people will have no idea what it means, which makes it humorous....

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">"With any question there is never a best, there is only Pros and Cons". Sorry, I quote that alot.

I like Nagot Gick Fel and I would love to wear it someday to a dominions gaming convention. It would be "best" for that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
But I think the devs and pub company might prefer something that would get people to ask about the game. More shirts might follow later, or a user with a domain can always hit CafePress (I highly recommend it), but the first ones will probably be for creating interest.
