I know I've brought this up before, but I'm worried that Spork is slowly dying. I'm starting a pretty time-intensive project this week and I personally won't be able to participate very much, and I'd hate to see Spork go.

Maybe not-so-slowly dying.

I like the convention, I dislike the restrictions, today.

Let's do a Projects post on Friday about both nomics. Somebody might frontpage it. I was thinking something like:

311. A player is one free-willed human [Metafilter] member voluntarily playing the game of [MeFiNo Nomic], and this insuperable definition may only be changed by modifying this rule.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move... Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed." -- Peter Suber, The Paradox of Self-Amendment.

See also its spin-off nomic, [Spork], with [multiplayer chess], [global thermonuclear war], [inter-player contracts and banking], and no mefi membership requirement. Both games are open to new players, so grab a plate of your favorite beans and join the overthinking.

That looks good to me. We can vote this down and just informally empower you to do it.
