nahh. Not like its an official server or anything.
(not like any promises are done to do it forever also)

Altho maybe i should move it to the multiplayer forum. I probably will if I keep it going.

One Turn a Day, does not seems like a Blitz to me. Sure 50 provinces will make a fast game, but I prefer to keep the blitz term to games played during one sitting.

They are there available for that. They all have the quick setting on so if people meet in IRC or Skype and choose one for a true blitz game then they will work. It will process the hosting whenever all the turns are in. But to blitz that way requires that the players set it up. They have to agree on a time frame (we arent all on the same "daytime" so just saying Saturday from 7am to 7pm wont work)

The 24-hour is just an upper limit to keep the game from hanging. Would you rather that was set for 12 hours? 6 hours? 10 minutes? I played a 10 minute per turn game. It was like speed chess. Very different. Im also considering a large game of "musical chairs". Like an 8 player game where it processes every time 7 people have turned in a turn. So the slowest always loses out.

Ive also seen it work well to start a thread that says "game will blitz on Saturday" in the MP forum.

Should this topic not be moved to the multiplayer subforum?

I think more people would join the server there. There are loads of people looking for games.

Default Dom3Minions.com public server

OK the server has been patched to 3.04
And since none of the games seemed to be running yet Im afraid that I went ahead and killed them all. Check out the new blitz games
(small map, quick turnaround, up to 4 players)
http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/blitz_chk.cgi
I suppose that everyone will rush to get the new nation Lanka?

and the new demo players only game
http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/demo_chk.cgi
Sorry, no Lanka.
