Karma provides an incentive structure for the production of LessWrong content; changing that structure without understanding the possible consequences, good and ill, might be unadvisable.
On the other hand, creating a new "play" currency, redeemable in donations and tied to various games that exercise the skills valued by this community - such as good calibration and discrimination - that could be a useful and fun project.
