nahh. Not like its an official server or anything.
(not like any promises are done to do it forever also)

Altho maybe i should move it to the multiplayer forum. I probably will if I keep it going.

bl_affective is over now as well. Although you should leave it up till sometime tomorrow in case my opponent wants to check out his final turn.

Thanks. Looks like he got it.
I will start another Era 1 slot

One Turn a Day, does not seems like a Blitz to me. Sure 50 provinces will make a fast game, but I prefer to keep the blitz term to games played during one sitting.

Re: come join server games
 

They are there available for that. They all have the quick setting on so if people meet in IRC or Skype and choose one for a true blitz game then they will work. It will process the hosting whenever all the turns are in. But to blitz that way requires that the players set it up. They have to agree on a time frame (we arent all on the same "daytime" so just saying Saturday from 7am to 7pm wont work)

The 24-hour is just an upper limit to keep the game from hanging. Would you rather that was set for 12 hours? 6 hours? 10 minutes? I played a 10 minute per turn game. It was like speed chess. Very different. Im also considering a large game of "musical chairs". Like an 8 player game where it processes every time 7 people have turned in a turn. So the slowest always loses out.

Ive also seen it work well to start a thread that says "game will blitz on Saturday" in the MP forum.

Sounds intresting, I have joined one early era game as Sauromantia.

Re: come join server games
 

Should this topic not be moved to the multiplayer subforum?

I think more people would join the server there. There are loads of people looking for games.

Re: come join server games

OK the server has been patched to 3.04
And since none of the games seemed to be running yet Im afraid that I went ahead and killed them all. Check out the new blitz games
