Default Re: Anyone up for blitz today?

I like blitzes, I do, but I thought the idea was to be fast about it. There really should be a quickhost that involves a minute-based time limit.

Yeh, I've requested that before - something that would cause hosting in say, 10 minutes. At the 9 minute mark, players get notified that times about to run out, so they can hurry more. At the 10 minute mark, their current orders are uploaded, regardless of whether or not they were done.

That way, people both know time's running out, and they don't keep staling because they're slow.

As is - I'd been in some blitzes where my turns were ... 2-4 minutes, then I'd wait half an hour or more for the people with bigger empires to finish their turns.
