Do you love TMW and other open source games?

Post by Khalid »

Hello people,
I just stumbled upon a survey about open source games and I thought it would be nice to let you know about it...
The owner of survey promised to select one of the participants in the survey as a winner and donate $100 to his favorite open source game.

So I think it is a good chance to donate some money to our beloved game :mrgreen:

Here is the link:

We're getting our hosting needs filled free.

I like the initiative of the survey, though.

I don't like to be asked for personal information like my full name in an "anonymous" survey. Thus I did not continue with it after getting asked for my last name.

In the age of identity theft and data mining I consider it very offensive to ask for any personal information which is not really required for your purpose. When they want to do a lottery as an additional motivation to take part in the survey and thus need personal information it should be clearly labled as opt-in.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

I am paying for everything except the domain name.
And donations are donations when given for free, without further demands, and taking part in a contest is a demand.
