As for MP, I would love to play some MP, but I am really put off by what seems to be a very complicated process (find a game in the forum, get on IRC, play during certian times I am guessing, etc.). My wife is learning the game, and if I can get a buddy of mine to learn it, I can play MP with them. I guess I'll head into the forum and try to find a good game anyway, just kinda hate coming in and getting stomped, LOL.

Playing MP is really pretty simple. You don't need IRC, you can play any time you want and there are newbie games starting fairly regularly. IRC is good for playing blitz games, that start up and play straight through. Most MP games on the forum start with a 24 hour timer, so you can do your turn any time during the day. This does lead to games lasting for months.
