Default Any games going up soon?

Reading through most of the threads seems this is a MP oriented game, would like to get in on the action. If a new game is going to be started soon, please let me know.

*snicker* Yeah - the bad part is waiting to die.

Seriously, a blitz probably isn't the best introduction in MP Dominions : some of the hardcore players are usually in the games, the quick pace means there isn't much time for pondering moves, and you have to be willing to commit to 3-5 hours in one sitting, when the game finally starts.

But on the other paw : you can learn a lot (both the hard way, and by talking on channel) especially if a loose team game is going. (Great to be able to talk about everything with your teammates, while in a free for all blitz, you don't want to give away any free information to enemies )

IRC will definitely teach you a lot and VERY fast. You dont even need a ton of time for a blitz either - just ask someone to duel. Tell them you are a noob and they will give you advice along the way too.

We should start another long-term game. Trouble is, I don't have a permanent connection so I can't serve. I could theoretically start a PBEM though after Feb 5. Whatever happened to the Rome vs Barbarians game? Any other ideas? I'm definitely not "hardcore", but I do love this game. Don't feel bad about joining games, as a n00b I noticed people don't really stomp you just 'cause they think you're a n00b. They stomp you because you send assassins after their sages.
