what are the best ONLINe multiplayer games?

I discovered sketch online beta last night, it's pretty cool:
Basically you join a "room" which has up to 10 people, there's a little IM chat thing at the bottom, and people take turns sketching a picture of a given word e.g. mountain, or lamp. Then people guess what it is via the chat window, if you get the right word your phone vibrates and you get points. It's good fun.

The other one if have is project imf which is a birds-eye view deathmatch game. My one complaint is that when you move your own character, it doesnt animate, it just pops to where you want him to go, but other player's characters walk normally. But you get over that, and it's quite good then.

Cestos doesn't seem to work fully on the Droid. :( Just got done trying it out, and the poor souls I played had to wait for the timer bar to expire. Tap the scroll or whatever, doesn't function on the Droid.

Shaggy, this was something I discovered on my own. The equivalent of the "scroll ball" on the Droid is the center button(gold) of the navigation keys on the keyboard. So i know it sucks, but until they update it, you can do that to end your turn.

Cestos is an excellent game, to me almost perfect.
The only improvment I could think of would be to allow for users to customise unit performance as well as avatar looks but that might come in time - who knows.
The latest version of parallel kingdom comes out at midnight tonight (I don't know what timezone though.) so that ought to be good.
I have noticed WIFI Army looks like a good game, I have to update my ROM before I go downloading all the apps I really want.

If I find any more awesome ones (free only of course) I'll be sure to post.

I got an error with Parallel Kingdom where if I reboot the phone it renames itself to Berries and then I can't play because it force closes on me. Anyone else with similar issues?

I am one of the devs with Parallel Kingdom and I just happened to come across your post. We have two other reports of this but they are both on the HTC Hero. Which device are you using?

Feel free to message me if you don't want to turn this into a tech support thread :)

Other than these couple of reports though I can say that the launch of Parallel Kingdom - Age of Emergence has gone pretty smoothly for most Android users. And most of our player feedback has been extremely positive :D
