I would personally play an RPG instead - if I was looking for such excitement. From nYC I want the best submissions. :)

But, the best submissions would still exist. People would still vote for the best things. There would just be more rewards for those who submitted them.

Yes, that is indeed the current hypothesis. I am suggesting an alternate one might improve the quality of the submissions even more. And, to test this new hypothesis we must necessarily discard individual karma.
