- Do you have an attractive cousin?
- Are the beer cans you recycle shot full of bullet holes?
- Is your family tree branchless?
- Do you cringe when snooty yankees post gratuitous swipes
at largely fictitious lifestyles of the southeastern US?
Well then, sign up for the -
-= BAYOU BLAST =-
From the creator of the Arctic Blast Games!!
Yes, it's an empire setup designed for the most violent
among you! Twenty-four countries of 28 sectors each,
and (here's the kicker) separated by one to
two sectors of water! There are no small islands between
these countries, we're packed in tight here!
So carve out those birchbark canoes or build up that
pirogue and go to visitin'! Widen the gene pool! Or just
make your shallow pond the only one!
Now Y'all! Here be that particlars
64X32 is the size of our bayou!
Chainsaw (I like chainsaws!) 3.31
60 ETU
24 countries of 28 sectors each (2 are mountains)
Things go nice and slow here in the Bayou...we update every 3 days at 7:00am PST(Maybe that be a lil too fast fer ya?)
All your kin are there from the start! All islands are fully populated.
Tech Log base 1.55 (huh?)
Since we need to be shootin...y'all can bild them thar guns at tech 10.
For y'all that can't figger out how to bild them boat things you can make a bridge at tech 20.
We un's don't go fer that slow war thing, we shoot first in the bayou.
Y'all don't have time waitin' for ships and planes to get themselves bilt! Theyuns will only take an update, but trainin' usun as units still takes two.
Wanna come to the bayou? Well heres whatcha do...

Fleer Parting Shot Award goes ta Gubble who blamed his defeat on hiz

Da South Will Rise Again Award goes to Bama fer not givin up da fight against chillrun, defide RedDog until his last plane waz taken, and would still be fightin if he had enough iron fer a knife.
Yankee Windbag Award goes ta Neirolhtol fer invading Megalomania and announcing how he waz gonna run all over dis fodderous country only to have hiz forces routed on the battlefield.

Proof dat dis Bayou iz haunted goes to da landmines dat appeared from nowhere an wouldn't go away. John Yockey -- aka Johnny Rebel or The Ice Barbarian Warlord!
