I have downloaded the newest Dominion Client, so if I understand your rules correctly, we only have to wait until friday to create an army in order to start. Let me know if there is more that I need to do, as I am unfamiliar with some of the actions from the summary above.
Lastly, as I dont hang here very much... is there a TS server that we can meet on or are we supposed to meet on mirc?

You are free to setup your account name and setup your army right now. You are just not allowed to play any games with this account.
All other items not explained in the Getting Started page of the server webpage will be explained in the server Friday.
All communications that do not occur here will occur on the server.

After careful consideration... I will be adjusting the end turn limit by +6 for all games and another +6 for really difficult terrain (wooded, heavy urban, jungle, and wetlands).
Remember though, that this leave each side only 3 minutes in which to move all of their forces and even less time on difficult maps (2.5 minutes). So be careful what you choose.
I will also allow time extensions on a case by case bases.
