Non Combat campaigns

Hi I've recently been invited to Google wave and have been thinking of running a game on it. Because of its PBM nature I'd prefer to run a campaign with little or no combat in it to start with.

I've done a few non combat games before. One was the Victorian Mystic Detective Agency. Where a vicar and the Artful Dodger investigate paranormal activities. Such as a vampire ghost, a zombie Mrs Rochester from Jane Eyre and uniting the future Lord Mayor of London with a legendary cat in order to battle King Rat.

Another was a great race campaign where players had to race around a fantasy kingdom for fortune and glory.

So has anyone else tried to run a no/ lite combat game? What were they? And do you have any tips on running one?
