I enjoy playing this game. But the map is cropped and New Zealand does not appear, so it was impossible for me to pin Wellington.
The fact that the crowd playing did not bring it down load-wise is just as impressive.
Back-end deployment story?

Awesome game.
Nice work!
Method:
- grab cites.db from repo and dump cities to file with sqlite
- use perl to convert data to json
- use dev console to import cities object
- one quick js function to get called when websockets gives us a 'new_turn' message that sends a 'answer' message with data from our lookup table
I know I cheated, but for me this was super fun. (I never make it to the top of a score board in videos games without some sort of hackery involved).
The worldmap seems to not include new zealand, because it takes the browser's zoom level (which i have set to high), and scales it badly to clip out the sides.
