I wonder if bootstrapping a game community can be accomplished with Amazon's mechanical turk?

You'd probably want a tiny game change to keep the turks from playing each other, and to only bring in a turk if there is not a suitable real player.

If you get into Mechanical Turk and have questions about it, shoot me an email. I worked on it at Amazon, and I'm using it in my current project.
