Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:32 amOk, yeah. This ad is almost virulent in nature. [violet]'s attempts to block it just seem to have made it spam on nearly everything.
Out of 7 NS tabs I have, 5 carry the inappropriate CoR ad on the sidebar.
Not only that, but I can't locate the source code for the ad anywhere in the page coding.
EDIT: But, just to be helpful, and in case someone else can find it among the rest of the page coding, here's the raw HTML.

<h5>The Issue</h5>
<form method="POST" action="page=show_dilemma/dilemma=42"><p>A group of concerned parishioners and soccer moms has petitioned the government of Orussia to outlaw heavy metal music, which they fear is a bad influence on youngsters.</p>
<h5>The Debate</h5>
<ol>
<li>"Heavy metal music is a plague in our good nation and its God-fearing people!" argues local priest and easy listening advocate Stephanie Broadside. "Just the other day, I heard a song by some group called Hell's Irate Puppies with a sinful quantity of bass and drum... oh, and there were probably some lines about killing parents, too, I'd imagine! It's vital that we ban this music, and remove this terrible influence from our children's lives! Think of the children!"<br>
<input type="submit" name="choice-0" value="Accept"><br><br>
<li>"Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Renee James, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me baring my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"<br>
<input type="submit" name="choice-1" value="Accept"><br><br>
<li>"You know, this heavy metal issue has me thinking," says Elaine Peters, your brother, over your weekly game of cribbage. "If these long-haired freaks want to put out their devil-worshipping metal, why don't we let them? Of course, we'll put a little subliminal propoganda into every song... after all, don't these guys owe their freedom of expression to you?"<br>
<input type="submit" name="choice-2" value="Accept"></ol>
<h5>The Government Position</h5>
<p>The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2012 6:30 pmWow, they just keep coming. I've blocked 25 editions of this thing so far.
A short description should be fine for me to locate them from now on, e.g. "sidebar ad on forum page for Call of Roma with click-for-orgy text".

Amazing. It is either the Flood, an army of unstoppable zombies, or a massive tidal wave of extra-terrestrial hordes of invaders...
I had it at least once today again.
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 10:29 am"Call of Roma" ad sighted in the General section of the forum. Sidebar ad with text reading "Choose your queen, my lord", and another instance with the text "Play with 10,000 pals" (same location). Mein gott im himmel, can this ad even be stopped?

I'm not going out of my way to block those, just the "orgy" ones.
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:23 pmHaven't seen one since noon. I think you got them, [v]. Congrats!
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 10:39 am
Both spotted on NERVUN's page.
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 10:59 amPosted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 11:11 amGuess I wasn't paying enough attention to the thread.
Eh, that's what I thought. I still think those other ones aren't exactly "safe" for schools, but I won't argue. I also haven't seen those orgy ones in a while; hopefully [violet]'s gotten rid of 'em.

Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 10:27 amI saw one at the bottom of the gameplay chat thread that also said 'One Click for a Roman Orgy'
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 4:11 pmIndeed, there was a new batch. Blocked, thanks.
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 9:53 amIt's ba---ck. This time in the general section. "One click for a Roman orgy" was the caption.
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:49 amHere it is again, this time at the bottom of the site's page.
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:16 pmOy. One at the side in General.
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 11:56 pmThirty-one new variations blocked.
They're breeding.

Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 12:40 amOf course they are. All those orgies and no birth control...

Especially since they're Roman orgies, the orgiest of orgies.

it must be, smart advertisers can't fail!

Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:17 pmNow they've replaced the word "orgy" with "empire!" That's better.

Much better indeed. On a slightly unrelated note there is a question I need for you to address in the In Game Factbook thread.
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:35 pmOh boo hoo, stop being such a whiner, that advert is probably PG-13 at most, and there's shit on the internet that's way worse than that.

Oh boo hoo, some people have opinions different than yours.
