Hey, I was thinking today, and I was wondering If they are spies in factions? It seems like a very good tactic, I mean it would be insanely hard to catch someone pming another faction on the actions of the one they're in. Any thoughts on this?

    If a faction needs to rely on spies to win in TW, they obviously are a group of losers and will most likely fail even with spies. It has been tried, and as always it fails.b:victory

    Spies in factions are old meme, of course they exist. I think more common is just people asking members about information, or getting it through a 'friend'. A lot of people are pretty damned stupid, u no.

    Spies in faction are meh. Not much of an impact on game play.

    It's the vent/ts spies that do the most damage.

    In modern military intelligence - spies are "must be".
    So in-game spying would be playing the game more realistically.
    If factions have spies - it means faction has organized military intelligence just like lot of powerful countries nowadays do.

    Public opinion of course is and should be condemning- after all negative public reaction is important part of countermeasures against spying and recruiting more spies.

    Nevertheless tactically speaking - capable spies amongst the near-future enemy lines are smart thing to have.

    Thats what I was thinking, a good spy could totally change the outcome of a battle or the overthrow of a highly prestieged faction. I believe that it could definately be utilized in a constructive way. I also agree with Deadbone that it is kinda a loser thing to do, but it could be a huge helper.
