Eh, what is the "Tag Line," you ask? (see attachment #1).
So, the "tag line" is something that sits right under a table's name, and is meant to add some identifying info. Sadly or unsadly, that's all it is, and all it's meant for.
Problem-- "identifying information" sounds kinda unclear, and maybe kinda burdensome... maybe because it is?
Indeed, our site software ("XenForo," not "NicolasBeSoft") forces an author to fill that field out whenever trying to share a resource here. Which probably annoys just about everyone. Which is probably why uploaders tend to paste-in the table name / info a second time, and immediately move on.
But, Brothers and Sisters, I'm here to Show You The Light!
Alright alright, me settle down, now.
My point is-- the "tag line" can be a fun, useful field to play with... when it's encouraged to bloom. For example, the "tag line" can be anything from a personal thought about the game, to a slogan from the industry flyer, to something from the IPDB ("first game to feature a certain technology"), or just *anything* that adds to the context of a table.
Whatever you like. Anything that adds some character and/or interest is welcome.
In the second attachment, the top two tables feature some interesting tag lines, while the bottom two are unfortunately of the 'generic' variety.
Me, I'd like to see ALL tables feature a fun, character line. :)
Thank you for reading.
