This could be tricky to set up... but I think you have a good idea here. 
What about making a web-based multiplayer game that communicates 
entierly peer to peer? That's how most of the fat client online games 
work... the server let's meet and chat with people to set up a game 
with. Once the game starts, each player's computer talks directly to the 
other player's computers and not to the server.

Does anyone here know of this already being done in a Flash or Java 
web-based game? I think it could be done, although it would probably be 
difficult.
