I think you will obtain better results on IRC. Probably you discourage some potentially serious helpers by using Skype, which is not universally accessible, and furthermore, is not Free Software. Of course, in a 1:N situation, mischief could scale just as well as help (and be more difficult to detect, deflect or reject), so maybe that's not such a good idea. OTOH, the N_helpful might be able to autonomously counter or filter the N_mischievous, or at the minimum provide entertaining banter to take the edge off the competition-induced stress. Like they say, you put N experts in a room, you get N!
