I'll have to check this out, sounds interesting. I used to play, and a few days ago just started playing again, a text-based rpg Mafia game called Omerta. It's a good game to play if you want to kill time at work and you get your other co-workers to play with you. Otherwise, it's too time consuming and takes awhile before you get into the fun part of the game, where you can start killing other gangsters. We used to play "Pimp Wars" at work too, but it's no where near as deep of a game as Omerta is.
