Anyway, the IRC is a great option if you don't believe you are fit to become one of the vaunted Dominion ascetics, and Blitzing is allegedly rather fun, to boot.

Blitz to PBEM is more like competitive chess with a timer to freeform amateur chess where the amateurs try to emulate the masters of pro-chess.

, did I go too far? I have never Blitzed on the IRC and I'm conscious that most innovation occurs in the PBEM arena.
Not really Blitzing is to normal MP games what speed chess is to normal chess. you do not have as much time to think about your decisions but ultimately your options are exactly the same. Oh sure game settings are slightly different informal rules tend to exist such no use of Mercs and easy research which rarely apply in standard MP games but ultimately it is still the same game.
