Very interesting suggestion. Yes, I do agree that the game would be good and could help in fighting with the abuse. Even if we won't be able to do it, I remain optimistic though.
The abusers may be grouped in several categories:
for the plagiarism we have @alex-move who is working on the tool which will be finding it automatically and tagging @ac-cheetah to double check it. Now the project is getting extended from two groups to four. Making it the solution for the whole platform is the matter of time (and money, unfortunately). Downvoting with our downvote trail launched by @symbionts is giving sort of protection from flag war, but the current 400 000 SP is still not enough to solve all the problems.
for the account farms, @the-gorilla has written the script that helps to detect it, so it should be easier to fight with that sort of abusers now
for those who overuse bidbots by sharing spam, it can be reviewed by checking the list of 1000 users with the highest SP. Those who are not in the top1000, usually do not delegate to upvu or tipu because it's not giving them satisfying income.
Sooo... we have the tools, but the game is still a great solution. More people is actively doing something, less things will be accidentaly skipped and more abusers will be self-limiting themselves. The biggest question is what we will do with mentioned abusers while they will be detected? Thanks to the trail and delegations, I do have higher downvote power than @endingplagiarism before, and yet it's enough to fight with 2-3 big fish at the same time, or one account farm. I may know about more people who are breaking the rules, but they have to wait in the line for their turn. That's why in my opinion the accent on the trail (as the alternative to the direct intervention of Steemit Inc.) should be crucial.

Thank you for this useful and relevant comment.
