Twilight Forums

For a long time I've felt that Twilight really needs a pithy tagline or slogan which could be put on the home page to kind of get across the point of the game. For a long time I've failed to come up with that tagline. So now I'm open to suggestions, if any of you have any.

Ideally the tagline would indicate ...
a) that it's a game
b) that you get to be a hero
c) that there's some humor involved

I'd prefer to avoid having to pay royalties to KoL for licensing the phrase "A superhero is you!" or paying both KoL and Bashy for the phrase "A superhero am you!". Nor do I desire to pay Tolkien's estate for the phrase "Superheroeses are youses, precious ..."

So if anyone has any ideas, post 'em here!

I'll list some other of my rejected ideas shortly.

Rejected ideas

- Forget the cheerleader, save the world.

- Fighting crime -- old skool! Word!

- Shave the cheerleader, shave the world.

- When there's nothing else, superheroes float.

- My night job is fighting crime.

- A hero is as a hero does.

- Mmmm .... superheroes.

- The fun web-based superhero game.

- Robbin' Hood: Superheroes in Tights

- Tights, a cape, and a city full of crime

- Fighting for truth, justice, and a bottomless cup of coffee

- Only you can prevent forest fires, car fires, and arson.

- Keeping the criminals clean and the streets behind bars.

- Putting the "free" in "crime-free town"

- It's like KoL but smaller and less complete

- Putting insomnia to good use

- Putting security guards out of business

- A man, a plan, a canal: Twilight!

- The city needs you, but all you need is love.

- Who needs to sleep anyway?

My brother has just suggested the following, all of which might have potential:

Twilight Heroes
When the Sun Goes Down, Evil Gets Its Comeuppance


Twilight Heroes
Justice Delivered Nightly


Twilight Heroes
Saving the Night
(a play on heroes "saving the day")

I told my brother to blend the first two, and this is what he gave me.

Twilight Heroes
When the Justice, Delivered Comeuppance

And also suggested:

Twilight Heroes
Crime Picked the Wrong Night to Fight

(could also replace "crime" above with "evil.")


Twilight Heroes
A Long Night's Journey Into Day


Twilight Heroes
A Nightly Slice off Vice

I liked 'Justice Delivered Nightly'.

Gives me the vision of a new broadcast...

(Not *just* that though but the other stuff which I think is slightly harder to explain. Anyway, I happen to like that.)

Here's some dumb ideas (some dumber than others):

With great power come great experience points.

Show me a hero, and I'll write you a web-based game.

City of ... people with superpowers

You're entering another dimension, a dimension of superheroes. There's a signpost up ahead. Your next stop: Twilight.

Yeah I agree with Icy on this one. My number two choice would be Crime Picked the Wrong Night to Fight. Of course a Superhero is you is third. No I am just kidding.


EDIT: Oops I meant frost_maze my bad

Prestige, those are some excellent parody phrases.

I would have also gladly accepted: With great power comes great super.

Which leads to: With great soup comes great salad.

Which leads to utter silliness, so I'll stop now.

Given that I haven't actually posted up to now, I'm rather confused.



My personal preferences. I'm really not the sort of person who's able to come up with new stuff, and I don't think I'll be able to. What I do think is that a slogan ought to be short and easy to understand. If people want to delve for another, deeper meaning, or just figure out what it's based off, that's fine, but it has to make sense taken at face value.

Did that make any sense at all?

Crime never sleeps, but then crime doesn't have a job.

It's one o'clock in the morning. Would you like some coffee?

It's 3 o'clock in the morning. Do you know where your Bray Energy Drink is?

Grab your pyjamas and your mask: it's time to hand out some street justice.

Amusing, and certainly worth being an unofficial one.

I kinda liked this one.

I like the simplicity of "Justice Delivered Nightly"

My suggestion that just comes to mind now would be "Punch the clock, then punch some thugs", but it seems a bit odd now that I see it written

Twilight Heroes
"It leaves you in the dark when you play it."

I cast my vote for "Justice delivered Nightly"

...and also present some (probably crappy) ideas:

"From dusk 'till down" (I like the feeling of this expression )

"Fight Evil. With Style."

"Mighty evil, smity heroes."

...and...

"Carpe Noxis!"

("carpe diem" = "seize the day" in latin, Carpe Noxis, seize the night)

I do like Justice Delivered Nightly. I can almost see it as the slogan on a stack of empty Twilight Pizza boxes with about six dry coffee cups pushed into the corner of the room and never really cleaned up.

Twilight Heroes
Justice Delivered Nightly.

Yeah, it works.

Yeah, Justice Delivered Nightly stuck out to me as my favorite earlier in this thread.

Very cool. Justice Served Nightly. I think we've got ourselves a slogan.

Now I guess I ought to get cracking on making a design out of it.

Who here (besides Ryme) has uber photoshop skillz?

Me, I only have mediocre to bad photoshop skillz

Edit: Oh, missed "I" better get cracking on it

Really depends on what kind of photoshop you're wanting. I'm alright with some things in GIMP.
Other things, not so much

EDIT: Just had to fix my spelling

Justice Served Nightly is complete win. Like, omgwutawzomez.

a superhero is you

If you haven't noticed, the slogan was already decided on. Anyway, c'mon, we don't need to copy KoL for a slogan.

A knock-off is we!

Okay, okay, in seriousness, I can't come up with any good slogans, but I was thinking that instead of having one slogan, we could have a list of the best ones, and have have the php scripts randomly pull one out for each pageview.

Hahahaha. Best suggestion yet

No way. Justice Delivered Nightly is the perfect tag.

This thread should probably be locked; Twilight Heroes already has a slogan.

<<Done.-Therum>>
