Ah right I remember his viscous persona.  And he was probably not

Agora _has_ invaded other nomics though.  I vaguely think the first time 
we did so (Rishonnomic) may also have been about the time we first made 
mechanisms to prevent it happening to us.  (I don't actually remember, 
though.)

Yes. When such an attempt is underway, it's not uncommon for the nomic on
the receiving end to try to quickly pass a rule barring players of the
other from joining. Sometimes that even works.

Agora has never been invaded that I'm aware of, but is still a little
paranoid about it and has more robust mechanisms for trying to stop such
things in a hurry. Gerontocracy is the current preference; restricting
voting on many proposals to a subset of players designated as Senators is
another one that was around for an extended period, and I'm sure people who
actually play this specific game a bunch can tell you others that have been
used.

Absolutely! Nothing wrong with it, any more than there's something wrong
with playing two games of chess at once.

Less, even, since outside of showing off it's considered polite to give the
one chess game you're in all your attention until it ends.

You might get some mileage comparing and/or contrasting our use of
'or' (which sometimes is used as logical OR, but more often in the 
ruleset XOR).  The fact that it is context driven implies a 
legalistic/ common sense use.

Yes, there from the beginning.  May have been an inspiration from
Hofstadter's writings, Steve is the best early champion of Spivak to
describe how it got there.
