Heh, or I suppose "Man in Crime" could be some kind of prequel to
"Still Stealin'" :)
Actually, I've never been enough of an MM fan to want to edit it,
because for me the exciting part of JSW is the non-linear
exploration. (It's surprising how long it can take to find 60 or so
rooms.) And I'm not planning to do another big JSW project, though
you never know.

It's not wordplay, but I thought the surrealist "exquisite corpse"
game might lend itself quite well to a map with connecting rooms like
JSW's. Each contributor would only be allowed to see the very edges
(doorways etc.) of connecting rooms, and would build something onto
that, showing the edges to the next contributors, and so on, like a
kind of patchwork quilt. Assembling the final product (and ensuring
completability) would be tiresome, but it might prove to be an
amusing game.
Eq.
