You might as well just formally solve for the optimal mechanism at this point.
Come on, you know you want to :)
Someone suggested that a long time ago. Was it you?
I don't think it's possible because altruism doesn't conform to our incentive models. I also think @k00b has made a game that is well beyond my ability to analyze: there's a Keynesian Beauty Contest at the heart of it, for Christ's sake.
How do you optimally punish people for submitting low quality choices to a Keynesian Beauty Contest? That sounds like a nightmare 1st year PhD exam question.

Yeah, I was mostly joking anyway. If you could solve it, it would certainly be a paper worth publishing!

I recall someone suggesting that a PhD student in experimental or behavioral econ should study SN as part of their dissertation. That could be a worthwhile pursuit.

That might've been me. In fact, it's something i'd love to do if only i could free up more time.
