Well I had an idea but I really havent had much time to do anything about it.

But well, like I said before, what I would like to do is an animated banner with perhaps 4 images.

The first 3 images show typical mud text. One line of text / image. The final image shows a version of our web banner with some catchy "come and play "-text.

Maybe I'd be more motivated if I could get some input from others about the idea.

Basically what I had in mind was:

Image 1: You are standing in a clearing, a huge green dragons stands in your way. (white text on black)
Image 2: kill dragon (animated typing, cyan text)
Image 3: Uh, no you dont have the self discipline to dare. (white text on black)
Image 4: Genesis banner, catchy text. "Do YOU dare? - Play Genesis now"

Repeat.

The above is of course just plain boring and really poor, and just serves as an example. So what I would like is some ideas on what could happen in three lines. Basically a text that describes something, a command, and then the outcome of the command. (We could do a few more lines if we have a real good idea).

I think it would be fun if it was something actually existing in Genesis, I also think it would be fun if it's funny... or maybe even mocking text games... I dont know. It has to be catchy somehow. And have some type of punchline at the end banner.

Don't forget the dragon fear. Make them paralyzed by fear and and say something like this " Fight back next time! Join Genesis!"

I think these are fun ideas, and I think you should work something up.

Castaneda: What existing banner? You mean the top part on our current webpage?

A few years ago there was an event in which players sent ideas of banners to AoE. I think that Kuti and Bonk (?) won by creating some cool banners.

Anyone is welcome to create a banner suggestion.

As for an event... you mean there was a coded event for it? Or people just sent in suggestions and got some type of reward for it?
