So ineffective that Agora never noticed? :P

(Although an _effective_ invasion which Agora never noticed would also be 
something.)

Though I think the difference here is between live games and

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.
