Perplex City - hey, that's my game! Or at least it was, until we indefinitely postponed it...

Learned all sorts of things doing community management for it, though - a really interesting project because the community was itself an essential part of the game, rather than an extraneous add-on. It had its pros and cons, for sure. I really must get around to condensing my thoughts on it in something more substantial than a blog comment sometime!
