I often joke that "StackExchange is my favourite RPG" - you can grind and earn points that help you level up and unlock new class abilities (privileges), as well as earning achievements (badges) you can show off on your player profile. ;) So, to be interesting to me personally, a game for this site would similarly help teach/encourage constructive use of the site. If someone could invent a game that helps new users learn to make good posts, or use search effectively, I'd be very interested. :) | |
