I just mentioned in my last post that we should try to create a gaming community with a relatively high SP moderator (or two, or three) who can reward its members (so as to attract new gamers and help grow the platform), so I'm on board :)
One suggestion, though:
Once a week (or whatever works best) give the community some options to vote on for a gaming competition, with a prize pool. An example that I thought of was to set up a speed run of an old school game like Mario Bros. Everyone within the community has the same amount of time to produce a video (that validates their Steemit identity within the recording or in some other way that's difficult to fake) that:
A.) finishes with the fastest time.
(or, if no one beats the game)
B.) makes it the furthest in the game without losing all lives.
A problem with something like this is that not everyone will have access to that game. So we could aim for something more generalized like "biggest game feat" or something still broad but more specific like "best side-scroller accomplishment" and leave it up to the community or mods to vote on who wins the prize(s).
Something like this would probably work best with a weekly post aimed solely at stocking up on prize Steem to award to the winner(s) of the competitions.
On that note, if we were to do competitions on steam we could have both sides stream themselves playing and the winner gets a ton of 100% upvotes lol
It would be easy as hell to set that up.
I'd be down for that.
You would need a lot of "moderators" because voting power would be difficult to manage if you did end up getting a lot of content. I can burn through my voting power FAST and I only generally support a small number of people on my follow list.
Maybe a SMT could solve this?
Community leaders (who create the SMT and go through the ICO process) can keep a relatively high percentage of the coins to themselves (preferably no more than 25% of the total between all of them, if it were to fit my definition of "possible fair distribution") so that they have plenty of voting power to share.
