At NamePros, we've noticed quite a bit of controversy in the industry lately. Everyone always seems to be fighting about small, green pieces of paper, or other inconsequential matters like who should be the next president. We wondered: is there a solution to the chaos? Could we be the ones to bring peace to the world?
Nah, that wouldn't be any fun. Let's encourage people to fight instead! Today, we introduced the NamePros Duel Arena: a place for domainers to fight to the death. Originally, we wanted to hold the event in-person, but some sort of virus put a damper on those plans, so we settled for virtual fights. According to Legal, holding in-person gladiator battles during a pandemic is a liability, as one of the survivors might get sick.
Has someone on NamePros been grinding your gears? Decimating your pride? Insulting your ego? Click the "Challenge!" link below one of their posts to begin your fight to the death! (TODO before publishing: add a disclaimer about no actual death being involved. Please do not encourage participants to die; loss of members is bad for ad revenue.)
We don't yet know for how long the duel arena will stick around. It might be a few days; it might be a few generations. Get your battles in while you can. Or you could just settle for a frank exchange of views on Twitter--because that always works out well for everyone involved.
There will becake prizes. We don't know how many prizes there will be. We don't know when the prizes will be given out. All we know is that NamePros staff aren't eligible--trust me, I asked. Please proceed to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center NamePros Duel Arena to smite your enemies and possibly win prizes. Maybe.
