A call for players
 

The number of blitz players has dropped to the point where it is rare to get four together for a game, even on the weekend. So this thread is an attempt to draw some new players (for those that haven't played blitz games see this thread), and reorganize the games so everyone can be around at the same time. Here are the specifics of the game:

Time: 18:00 GMT, this Saturday(I know several european players were interested in blitzes but sunday was not working out for them)
Mods: Zen's spells, scales and pretenders
Settings: Default except for 6 independents and 15 HoF
Map: To be decided based on number of players

Post here to claim nations or if you have a problem with any of the specifics (mods, time, ect.).

Erh, wait, I had forgotten we were talking about TCP/IP here, which I cannot reliably do (not sure why).

Re: A call for players
 

I can't do this Saturday, as it's Easter (visiting familiy), but in general I'd love to join a blitz game on or around that sort of time.

But, is there going to be any likelihood of playing one without Zen's mods (I don't mind the Pretenders, but I don't really like the others)?

Re: A call for players
 

Yes, we have blitzes with only pretenders (or no mods).

Re: A call for players
 

I should be around this weekend

Looking for blitz players again tomorrow (sunday)...

Re: A call for players
 

No can do. My mom is in town visiting so there goes my weekend....

Re: A call for players
 

I'd be interested in a Blitz eventually. I have something that will keep me busy for the next 4 Sundays, but after that... I'd love to join you.

Often there are games saturdays as well.

Ah... good.

What is the time period? I am in Maine. I will have stuff to do at night.

Re: A call for players
 

Ideally, 18:00 GMT. However, it often ends up happening later in the day.

How long to you play in one session?

Re: A call for players
 

Excuse me, does anyone know if there will be a new blitz game starting anytime soon?

Re: A call for players
 

There is a good chance for one on the weekend. We aim for 18:00 GMT on saturday and sunday, but it usually ends up later if it happens.

As for how long we play- until someone has to go. Minimum is probably two hours, average is four hours. I think we had a record game last year that went for 8 hours where new players showed up and took over as the first players got tired.

*bump*

We had 6 blitz games last weekend, lets hope we can keep the trend going. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Ok, I've decided to back to a more rigid blitz scheduling, so that we can get bigger games together.

We are going to be trying for about 17:00 GMT, so that, in theory, we can accomadate both north american and european players.
