What about a game that will rate the player as you go along solving it? Something along the lines of : the player has had so & so alloted chances to solve a quest, puzzle, maze, whatever etc., and some clues from Dink as the game proceeds. However the player has missed vital clues, info, items, etc.
Dink could then rate the player. He could be humorous, sarcastic, pitying, sorrowful, helpful, threatening, etc.
The save bots could be at the end of each plot segment. That way the player knows when he's messed up and can load back to the beginning of that segment. We, the players could be our own heroes or our own flubbers. And the character completeing the actions at our direction doesn't necessarily have to be dink. The authors can use whoever they want or at the start of the game can give the player a choice of who we want to be. The game could have specific guidelines such as so many quests, so many puzzle segments, so many.. well you get the idea.
Then each game that is entered into the contest could be rated for entertainment value in turn by us, the players.

Just an idea.
