So ineffective that Agora never noticed? :P (Although an _effective_ invasion which Agora never noticed would also be something.) Greetings, Ørjan.

nommit has gone into a convention. Seems like a good time to join. http://www.reddit.com/r/nommit/comments/1k8d78/new_game_convention/
Re: DIS: [Ambassador-at-Large] Note on nommit
so we are allowed to be part of more than one nomic at once? On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 2:09 PM, Charles Walker charles.w.wal...@gmail.comwrote: nommit has gone into a convention. Seems like a good time to join. http://www.reddit.com/r/nommit/comments/1k8d78/new_game_convention/
Re: DIS: [Ambassador-at-Large] Note on nommit
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.

Re: DIS: [Ambassador-at-Large] Note on nommit
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.

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.) Greetings, Ørjan.
