Ugh, seriously? So you have an issue with media blitz, a defensive blitz in American football, and dozens of other ways the word is used? Probably something worth letting go.

If I remember correctly PStars said it would be released in the first quarter of 2012.

And haha at people taking offence to the word "Bltz" because of Nazi war strategy in World War 2 a whole 70 years ago. Some people will just take offence to anything just so they can complain about **** all.

Shall we now refer to Hitler as he who must not be named like Voldemort in Harry Potter?

Blitz sounds too much like nits.

The picture in the GX folder actually says "Welcome to ZOOM"
Sounds hilarious.

Zoom is worse than Blitz, a lot worse.

Maybe I expressed myself wrongly. The games didn't dry up in number of players, far from it, but as soon as the huds kicked in the games where infested with nits in no time. The quality of the games went from good to bad pretty quickly.

Also rush poker not being poker without a hud is just complete nonsense. I specifically stated there should be a good way to make notes on players. The proper development and use of notes actually makes the game a lot more interesting then the use of stats only.

I think it will keep a lot of the nits out if they can use huds on the regular tables and not in the rush/ blitz games. This will probably improve the quality of the games.

I have no problem doing so when I am.
I am german and I was not familiar with any of the expressions you just mentioned. So I can only decide from the feeling I get, hearing the word blitz in an english contact. When I hear it in german, I do not have a problem with it at all. In an english context it just has a bad taste for me.
It's a personal impression.

But I don't think that the "Blitz" folder in the Pokerstars folder has anything to do with the real name for the fast moving poker version coming up. In the French version of Pokerstars there is a Flash-series with a lightning strike as an icon. I am speculating here, but who of us doesn't?

Personally I think fast moving ring games product has a nice ring to it.

Thing is, if FTP had asked for a game name, I doubt many would have come up with 'Rush', which is pretty lame imo. But after the launch, no one thought about it because Rush was, well, Rush. Whatever Stars call theirs will become what it is in the same way, and its name will almost immediately cease to be relevant. The only reason we're discussing it now is because there's no actual game to talk about.

Mind you, ZOOM is pretty ropey.

'Origami poker'?

Should be "M1 Poker" ... It rolls off the tongue, relates to a bunch of fast roads and it's also the Messier name of the Crab Nebula -- the remnants of a star that went Supernova.

ZOOM would be stupid
