I know syzygy is a cool name and all, but the fact that it's role in the ARG is over means we are dealing w/ something new.
how about something like
"The Search"
"Hide and Seek"
"Cube Quest"
Just something that points to what it is we are doing.

"At the end of the war of the 5 worlds, Man began to explore his universe...and it was there...beyond the edge...that the Cube was found....oh, we all played the cube from the outside. And that was easy. But how to play it from the INSIDE.....Inside...things aren't so simple....shifting walls POUND at your concentration....every wall meets...a different challenge...a different brand of doom.....but your goal....is the treasure of Mythra...for those few who make it...for those elite, there is a special place in Cubic history.....
Enter the Cube.
Survive the unthinkable."
(from Simutrek's laserdisc arcade game Cube Quest), speech given by Ken Nordine

I guess we can officially call it Perplex City, now.
From Adrian Hon's site bio:
"I left my PhD at Oxford in August 2004 to work in London on something called Perplex City (formerly named Project Syzygy)."

Well as much as they may want us to change it, it's going to have to incorporate Syzygy into whatever title we give it as we have the chatroom #syzygy and there's no point moving.
Project Syzygy: The Perplex City gets my vote as everyone can be happy.

I like it!
And for a little O.T., according to the episode of sliders that was on the SciFi channel today, it's Sis(like sis-ter)-uh(like, "uh, I don't get it")-gee(like "Gee goly, Mrs. Robinson!"). Though I don't know how accurate they were. I'm still gonna say it Sigh-zig-eeeee!, 'cause I really like that pronounciation.

What's the harm in creating a chat room called #perplexcity ? We create new chat rooms at the drop of a dime around here.
