It sounds like fun, especially that it's open 24/7.
Years ago I was part of something like that for
Dscovery online games (which were a lot of fun and
involved detective work online, i.e., research--it wa
a great group of people, too--but discovery eventually
closed it down).

Unfortunately, the only requirement I have ia an
internet connection.

But know that I'm with you in spirit.
