A civilisation like game could work. Thinking about something like this in the past I like the idea of something that may run for some days and then have a winner. At which point it can be modified to remove any game breaking strategies that may crop up, probably changed enough to that copying the previous winner won't help. Then give everyone say another week to rescript their AI.
Possibly something like 30 seconds to 1 minute turns with allowing the server your querying maybe 5 seconds to return moves. Then you would just need some way to assess progress. I like the idea to the people can get beaten relatively fast, just the idea that everyone starts out on a massive map and bigger civilisations soon start to form by wiping others out.
