- Gosh, I hope I don't regret this... *sigh*

-
- Announcing for the umpteenth time!!!
-
- ========================================================================
-
- BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY'S
-
- FODDER FRENZY!!!!
-

-
- Yes, that's right! A game JUST FOR NEWBIES! The perfect atmosphere
- to learn how addicting this damned game can be! Come get trounced 14 seconds
- after you break sanctuary! Watch in awe as the other players figure out how
- to use their shiny nukes while you wallow in 'backwards' tech and wonder
- what 'gunpowder' is...See the flourescent glow of the aftermath wasteland
- you used to call home in amazing TechnoColor(tm)!!!
-
- ========================================================================
-
- But in all seriousness...I'm running a BLITZ game for newbies only
- at Bucknell University. If you want to register, send me your country name,
- rep name, email address, and real name at the address below.
- The games are 5 or 10 minute updates, depending on how I feel, usually
- 32 etus. Some people think this is too fast and that newbies should learn to
- play in a regular speed game, but I vehemently disagree - in my game, you only
- have to wait 5 minutes to see the results of your actions, whereas it takes
- months in some other games, and in the time it takes to play one regular-speed
- game, you've played 5 or 6 of my blitzes. I'm not saying slow games are worse,
- it's just that blitzes provide you with a quicker learning environment. Then,
- once you learn to not starve your civvies (a difficult thing to do in my setup),
- you can go out into the 'real' world of empire and work on strategy, tech, etc.
-
- The games are played EVERY SUNDAY, starting at 12:00 EST. If you
- can't make it or don't want to play in a blitz, DON'T REGISTER!!!
-
- Thank you, and have a nice day.
