So, I've recently revived my gaming streak, and for as long as I've gamed, I've always enjoyed interacting with others. As such, I'm curious what games SN folks play. I've been strongly tempted to setup a Minecraft server for SoylentNews, but I don't really want to put in the effort if no one else is interested in playing. So, here's my simple question for the community; what games do you play, and would you want to play on an SN hosted server?
I'm tempted to make any gaming-related things be a subscriber perk, as an attempt to both increase subscriber benefits, and make such a target harder to grief. Not sure if it's a great idea, so I'd love to get feedback below.

I've run FTB-pack servers before - Unleashed, Monster and Lite. I would suggest, rather than analysing which one is "best", go for a big all-in-one pack - FTB Infinity seems to be the multi-purpose one right, throw Towny on the server, she'll be right. If enough folks with lower-end rigs want one, do an FTB Lite server as well.
I'd be up for doing YouTube vids and Twitch streams for whatever we end up doing, Minecraft or not.

It's mostly finding people to GM beside me. I go through phases where I play a lot of minecraft, and then don't touch it for months.
Still always moving

I'd be happy to help GM. My last spawn site design was based on the provincial gladiatorial arena Maximus solo'd before his "Are you not entertained?!" rant in Gladiator. I'm thinking something along the lines of The Glade / The Maze from the Maze Runner film next...
