Multiplayer Minesweeper is a social experiment

FlashMinesweeper:MP is an excellent idea : take an old and established game (I mean, who hasn't killed some work time sweeping mines ?) and add a new, social media twist to it by making it multiplayer.  It's also a very interesting experiment : Minesweeper is essentially a single player game, relying heavily on analytical and strategic skills.  In the multiplayer version, the player needs to trust his coplayers to finish the increasingly difficult levels.  They have to work together by chatting over next moves and strategies, talking about risks and dividing the playing field. 

Even though the platform that it's built on awards registration with extra functionalities, the game is more or less anonymous.  You can go ahead and spoil as many games as you want, unpunished.  However, after half an hour of playing, I noticed that most of the participants actually want the game to be good. 

I guess you could make a hyperbolic extrapolation here, that this at least minutely instills some faith in humanity.  But you can also just enjoy the game and leave it at that.
