I do admit, multiwinia is probably not the best game, nor will be in the future, but it's ideas are based off a different game, with modifications.Like I said, I'm just getting bored with the current maps, they're either to hard for about a minute, or too easy and can win, even without trying.So for me, I'm mod darwinia until the map editor comes out =|

Take advantage of this weekend's Steam sale (which includes Multiwinia) according to the firefox plugin there are 21 games running right now as opposed to the 1 or 2 previously :shock:

I've been playing Multiwinia today and yesterday much more than I ever did. Freaky thing is, I only found out about the Indie pack AFTER I started, and I think that it maybe even only got released after I started.

I am still unsure why people insist on making their own servers all the time when there are plenty of empty ones.

I'm unsure why there are so many empty servers when people prefer not to use them.

Hopefully Multiwinia has gained a few players who really like the game, maybe we will see some new faces around here.

Don't remind me of that ladder... It's not my fault that I only win non-Dedwinia games and lose Dedwinia games all the time!!!


To revive Multiwinia (or I guess now would be more appropiate to say to keep it as alive as it is) we need to get NeoThermic to CLOSE DOWN HIS SERVERS. Someone who's worth more around these forums than me, please PM him?

While I agree that 6 demo servers is about 3 too many, why should I close them *all* down? On the demo servers alone over 5000 games have been played, and on all my servers alone there's been over 7800 games since I moved them to the IV servers. There was about 2000 before that. It's clearly wanted, so again why should I shut them down?

I'm not talking about the demo servers, but you have like 2 servers for each gamemode - isn't that a bit too much? Your servers take up slightly less than half the server list, and that's in a good case! Usually they're about 90%.

Well one thing's for sure - the contents will not be good if they're coming from me.

You know, most kindergartners don't have trouble counting to "one."
