So here's what i have so far. [http://cwwang.com/dap/yelpturf/index.php Turf].

Turf is a game where players battle over virtual ownership of venues and neighborhoods.
The goal of Turf is to promote curiosity and exploration into other neighborhoods in urban environments.
Right now it uses Loki to get the current position, then reverse geocodes via Yelp to get the neighborhood.

Venues are claimed by players by logging into the game via wifi or on a location-aware phone.
For a player to claim a venue, he or she must be the individual who frequents that venue the most.
To claim a neighborhood, he or she must claim the most venues in the neighborhood.
Neighborhoods and groups of venues can challenge or attack other venues to win more turf. Outcomes of challenges are based on real venue and neighborhood statistics like crime date, population, venue rating, venue popularity, etc.

Location based Turf-Wars.
