4-7 Player Random Map Game (Blitz)

quantum_mechani · #1 March 23rd, 2009, 09:23 PM

Map: Random, 10 provs per player.
Research: Easy
Mods: CB 1.41
Other settings: Default
Era: EA

The game will be of the one sitting (aka blitz) format. Start time is tentatively 18:00 GMT this Sunday, to go for about 4 hours. Accessing the dominons IRC channel will be important for diplomacy, etc., so just post here if you're not sure how to connect.

A blitz? I haven't done a blitz in ages. I usually go hiking during that time period though. Maybe I'll get lazy this weekend.

I'd definitely be up for this. I'm coming back to Dominions after a long absence and a blitz sounds just the thing to get back into the swing of MP. The time is just about perfect for me also

Hmm my IRC client won't let me into #dominions for some reason. Says "#Dominions unable to join channel (address is banned)"

Edit does this mean the mods have banned me or something? If so I assume it was a mistake as I've done nothing to warrant being banned (as I far as I know) and did not receive any sort of warning or anything.

'address is banned' seems to imply some problem on your end, I don't think anyone is banned from the channel.

I think 'address is banned' means my IP address is banned from the channel.
The problem appears to be specifically with the #Dominions channel. I can connect to all other channels as far as I can tell.

Could my large number of disconnect/reconnects (due to my wireless connection) have triggered some sort of automatic ban?

Oh well, if the blitz is going ahead I am still available to play if you post the game details here.

I think the blitz didn't get enough players to start anyway. The reason you can't connect it looks like, is the _away on your nick.
