Okay, let's see if there's an interest for this game here.
Lexicon is an On-line storyteller game of a more literary nature.
Each player assumes the role of a Sage, who considers him/herself to be the expert on a particular topic (aloofness and arrogance are common traits with Sages, as it makes the game more fun).

The game consists of weekly entries in a Lexicon (hence the name of the game), using mandatory references to prior articles. The end result is a small (or large, depending on the number of players) universe, as seen through the collective eyes of the Sages.

Full set of rules can be found here.

If enough people are interested, I'll see about setting us up a Lexicon of our own.

I wouldn't mind playing. Just so long as we don't play it here. KDW would kill us all...er, reprimand, I mean

Nonono, the Lexicon would be played on an "offshore" wiki somewhere...

Are there palm trees and rum drinks? 'cause if not, I can bring some.

If enough players participate, I'm sure we'll find room for palm trees and an ample supply of rum...

I'll bring a Frisbee and an appropriately "more-erudite-than-thou" attitude. Somebody please email if this gets kicked off, in case I lose track of the thread.

Sounds fun. I'd be game.

I'm only 19, though... can I still have some rum?

Just pretend you're Canadian.

Only 19? That's great! You can drive us around when we're all too ...ahem...tired.

Yeah, that sounds fun. I'd be game.
