How do I get involved with them? What is a blitz game? And I'm not too computer literate...what is an IRC channel? How do I go about accessing it?

An IRC channel is basicly a chat room. In the case of a dominions blitz game is used as a place to get organized and conduct diplomacy once the game starts. Getting set up for IRC is slightly involved, but it is easy to use. If you are interested, you can download software to connect to the channel here. Once you install and run it, to get to the dominions channel go under servers and select gamesurge, then connect to it. Once you are connected it will prompt you for a channel, click add and put in #dominions as the channel name. Then select it from the list of channels and your're in.

It is very easy to get involved in a game from there, if you sign on on a weekend chances are a game will be happening, and more players are always welcome.

Ok thanks a lot. I'll give it a try.

Is it possible to play MP using only the Demo (Since it has data for all races) or does it absolutely require the full Version?

It is possible, I think you can only play with other demos though, IIRC.
