Which raises the question of what games in 2009 would have qualified (and to be clear, they mean games playable over a network). In the comments section The Battle for Wesnoth was suggested, while others that occur to me are XEvil or WarMUX. Urban Terror and AssaultCube I am assuming do not have lava due to their more realistic settings, and still would run on more modest hardware of the era (for those uninitiated, Stef is so bad at Quake he will always immediately fall into a lava pit and die).
Oddly enough, Illiad picked Bejeweled as the answer, even though as far as I am aware that was never officially released for Linux. Apparently there was a web version that would work (Flash then, HTML5 now), as well as clones such as Monsterz and KDiamond and soon after also Gweled and freegemas, but still a rather baffling choice.

This leads to the additional requirement of "lots of munitions".
