As one who done a bit gamified the downvote game on Steem with MMORPG elements, it is true that the ability to apply the same more broadly to our social media can make for quite a compelling experience.

(If you explore some of my former projects, you will find I used sprites from a RPG called Shining Force to represent users' progress in flagging abuse for instance)

I think HIVE is prime real estate for text based games particularly and that is something that can be explored further. I'll see what I can do.
