Multi Indicators

[soiram]

OK, our new pastime: Multi-Hunting.

These indicators came from Raul. I find it interesting to comment on them / use them to find multis (any ideas ?) etc.


Just by reading them it is easy to see that they are only indicators, but if one gets many of them it might serve as "proof".
