Re: spoon-discuss: winning

I agree completely! Having little experience with both nomic in general, and 
with this nomic, it does seem the the point might be missed in a way. Of 
course, it could be harder to "get the point" on the internet, but I would 
like to see a change to the sort of thing Ben is suggesting. (Oh and Ben, it 
isnt *impossible* to be manipulative with this nomic, as seen by the 
previous two wins...but that sort of thing is rare, isnt it?)
