How To Hold An Online Staring Contest

Or, The Great Subsim Staredown

Ok, so I got this idea about a month ago and still haven't figured out how to feasibly hold a staring contest on the internet. The idea is that no pictures or videos can be used, only text. I am absolutely stumped, and now I must ask the community:

How can a staring contest be held online, using only text?

Perhaps it should be transmitted into another game, like the haw many clicks can you get in 60 seconds. you can have bracket-style tourneys over that.
