I forgot about @kr's suggestion to use "last person zapped". I like that, too.
We could even make it compatible with your idea and @ek's idea.
Any action/appreciation you inspired in another stacker, earns you a share of their referrals.

From the article, it sounds like maybe SN referrals are working about as well as they can be expected to.
Expect less than 10% of your users to convert a successful referral.
Also, they recommend having a data scientist involved in the planning, although they don't say why exactly. If you figure out why you should have one, I volunteer my services.

Given how little time we've put into referrals, if we're already achieving 10%, we should be able to do a lot better.
I don't know why we'd need a data scientist yet but I volunteer to let you volunteer.
