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.

Never heard of Minetest until now. Seems like a rather complete clone of Minecraft just browsing through the wiki, and handles some things better, like creating a bone block instead of killing your entire inventory (I can't remember the last time I managed to recover mine after meeting my end after a creeper), as well as mods for handling stuff like redstone and the like.
My biggest concern is its always difficult to get people to play something they're not familiar with, esp. if its an "inferior" (in the eye of the beholder) clone of the original. While I may be willing to switch to Minetest for my block building needs, I'm not sure others would.
Still always moving
