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.
