MP blitzing invitation
Hello.
I was invited for some blitzing this weekend and though that it would be fun and useful for balancing and stuff. My current MP is fun, but quite time consuming. So I need a quicker outlet as well.
I will try to get mIRC working tomorrow and see what pops up. You are welcome to participate or just hang around
I'm not sure how you enter the channel, but I think I'll ask QM to explain.
Great chance to begin MP blitzing if you havn't done it already
BTW it's my second blitz ever, so you are welcome to whip me, especially with all kinds of abuses.

Re: MP blitzing invitation
mIRC is some kind of chat room where you can talk and decide on who will set up a server. THen you play and chat for a few hours. Almost like hot seat

Re: MP blitzing invitation
Steps to connect to the dominions channel:
1. Get an IRC client, this one is one of the easier to use.
2. If you got the client above, install and run the program, go under servers and select a gamesurge server, then connect to it.
3.Once you are connect it will prompt you with a list of channels, click add and put in #dominions as the channel. It will then be added to the list and you can select it to join.
I should also note that, despite the name blitz, games very rarely have any kind of turn timer.

Also...
IRC://irc.gamesurge.net:6667
Gandalf had posted that in the IRC channel sticky. Firefox has a IRC plugin, and that link opens it up and connects to the Gamesurge server. All you have to do after that is type /join dominions.

Re: MP blitzing invitation
Many browsers will. Opera also can handle a direct URL to an IRC chatroom.
mIRC is actually a standalone program that does not use the browser to connect you to IRC servers.
IRC= Internet Relay Chat
Once on a chat server you can create a room, join a room, chat in a room.
This makes blitz games even blitzier.
The players can chat while the game is going on. There have also been suggestions for creating a room inside the various servers that support voice communication but so far that hasent been much agreement on which one to use.

Re: MP blitzing invitation
Yeah I use opera. But if you join THAT chat room then be prepared to pick up and run some mods for a blitz. The guy that makes the CBM mod that changes many things in the game hangs out there and they really push using it in all of the games.
But you could always just create a new room called Dom3

Re: MP blitzing invitation
The honor of a whole channel just to get away from me!
A balance mod in this case would defeat the point of showcasing balance problems, anyway.
