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.

If you go with a Minecraft server be sure to use the Ruins mod.

It adds a ton of structures to the world maps, everything from simple stone shrines and ship wreaks (with chests) in the oceans to multi-level Battle towers.
And its easy to add custom structures to the mod, the file is in plain text and there is an in game tool to create the file as well.
I don't play vanilla MC anymore, got too boring. Ruins made it fun again.
