As everyone is probably very aware, there is a game out there called Evony (formerly known as Civony).

If you don't know about it, you were born yesterday or never browse the internet. (Edit: Or you have Ad-Blocker.) Mostly because the Adverts for the game were everywhere and so blatantly sexual many people complained.

These ads were so pervasive, they were even mocked by Popcap games when they released Zombies Vs. Plants. Apparently Evony even saw fit to host a Queen of Evony contest. Despite the fact that in the game itself there are no queens, and also no boobs.

Well, some people have dug a little deeper into the game that is Evony. Some even daring to question if Evony is *gasp* a scam.

In fact, several blogs and sites are saying that the makers of Evony are not just a gaming company but also a gold farming outfit from China. There are even suggestions that the game is putting malware on people's computers.

Well, apparently Evony has decided to start fighting back against all this negative hype. By... using an Australian court and lawyer to sue the guy who apparently they think is most responsible!

And he is putting out the call to the internet to fight these shenanigans.

Posted in Unfunny because yes, it's hilarious in many ways, but the comment racism on many of these blogs isn't very funny at all and may be rage inducing. Also the very blatant sexism from the ads is also not funny. Ok, it is funny yet not funny at the same time if that makes any sense at all.

Edit: The first Evony UFB post is over here. Featuring GUYVONY.
