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.

My former clan's Enemy Territory server just went away from lack of use. 8-(
It is a great game, but you need a large membership to play it. You also need to balance the maps or swap the teams, because most maps are Axis defense. Defense gets old when you are stuck playing Axis all the time. There are also the jerks that always jump on the offensive team, even after they are swapped to the defensive team. The winning offense team tends to map vote for more offense maps. A lot of times, the teams are so unbalanced, that you burn through maps in 5 minutes. The team on defense starts to lose players because there is no fun.
I love the game. However, even if you have active management on an Enemy Territory server(higher levels that can swap/balance/kick/ban), it is a rough job trying to keep everyone happy. This comes from my experience having the highest admin level on my clan's server.
