J'ai une solution grande

[Colytic]

I have solved the Humble Bundle problem.

All come and play Multiwinia with me (I'm on holiday for a coupe of weeks at the moment, but you'll have enough time to practice among yourselves before the reckoning comes).

I used the Humble Bundle stream myself to find a Multiwinia game.

Let me moan first. In contrast to Defcon you can't spectate games and you can't browse the server list while waiting in a lobby.
To me it feels like a terrible itching at a unreachable spot or like the try to stop smoking. HORRIBLE

I am noobish and can barley beat the AI, but I wanna play a few games.

You CAN beat the AI? OMG
I can't well ... in a game with me and Coly, we got thrashed by futurewinians.

Ha, I can't beat it.
But I MUSTED use the word "barely". And I can't barley find a sense in using it with a negation.

With crates dropping every ~30 seconds the fall under the weight of the Futurewinians and Evilinians was inevitable.

Hope you'll play then Senator!

Agreed. I tried it out for the first time a couple of days ago and the lobby setup completely put me off. Maybe it's a legacy of years of smashing defcon noobs, but I want to be able to spec a game and get a feel for the strategies before I jump in and get slaughtered and/or waste someone's time. The best training a noob can get here is watching a high-level game while someone walks them through what they're seeing. Also the whole "spectator sport" aspect to defcon is a big reason for its persistent and (generally) enjoyable community. It's too bad.

Multiwinias randomness factor is so big. I doubt anyone can master it like defcon cuz when you just get 2 nuke strikes and a meteor shower in a row like i did in 1 game then there is absolutely nothing that other person can do.

There is a large skill element in Multiwinia but as Deadcows said it is offset a lot by the random crate drops. Don't worry about not being able to spectate - the crates will give you a good chance at holding your own in a free-for-all. No one will feel you're being a burden and you can always play standard short games (fifteen minutes or so) or team up against the AI.
