MITW2-8 — A turn from Mappers in the Wild 2

Mappers in the Wild (a.k.a. MITW) is a series of unorganized map games played on threads. The thread's name is usually "Hey", with a few exceptions. The map games don't have any well defined rules, but it is still expected that one takes turns and doesn't let the map get too big. Mappers in the Wild is one of the longest running map game series, and has created its own genre, Creation.

Notable Game Descriptions[]

Mappers in the Wild[]

Main Article: Mappers in the Wild (Map Game)

The original Mappers in the Wild map game. It started on May 27, 2014, but it died and was revived multiple times until it became popular in late February 2015. In early March 2015, the map started to become very large, resulting in the game dying on March 7, 2015. The game was officially declared over on March 31, 2015, due to the creation of Mappers in the Wild 2.

Mappers in the Wild VII[]

Main Article: Mappers in the Wild VII (Map Game)

The third longest running game in the Mappers in The Wild map game series. It started on July 26, 2015, but its pace was slower compared to its predecessor games. It is the first one to future space maps, and space colonization in general (although there were games with more than one map, they didn't fit together), as well as a heavier emphasis on doing ingame lore regarding technological advancements. The game died on August 29, 2015, after its players lost interest in the game.

Mappers in the Wild XXIX[]

Main Article: Mappers in the Wild XXIX (Map Game)

The longest running one in the Mappers in the Wild map game series. It started on September 22, 2016 and ended on December 31, 2016. It has featured several planets, more than three player civilizations, as well as the most extensive lore made out of any MITW games. It is also one of the first MITW game to feature an external semi-NPC alien civilization as an enemy.
