'Spying' definition and pushing for better relations through chat

You cannot stop chatting. I think it is best to let factions internally police a little more vigourously.

Or just accept a certain level of "information smuggling" and react accordingly (i.e. smuggle false information to disinform, act differently to what was planned in the public forum, use a code...)

You like to do that very much, no? You're pathetically bad at it though.

[Jamski]

We cracked your code, dammit

Or are you referring to the "Hive secret forum" scandal?

[Maniac]

I'm referring to you claiming the Hive has planet busters etc.

[Jamski]

That post was intended humerously I believe

Oh... so was yours

Correction: Kody did that, and technically he's not a Hive member any more.

[Jamski]

It was a team effort... vev was very involved too... but he's dormant now too... umm...

Ok, we suck at being secret agents

Dammit.

Bring on the PLUMBER!!

[Jamski]

I bet that's really funny, but I don't get it

If a goverment has LEAKS then they recuit agents know as PLUMBERS to FIND AND STOP the LEAKS. Make sense now?

[Jamski]

Oh yeah

I didn't think of leaks :stupid:

Lucky for our mole...

[MrWhereItsAt]

OK, well with no more disagreements with any of the above (and no more serious discussion of ANY sort taking place here ), I consider this discussion effectively done. Time for me to put together a poll and get the rules firmed up in favour of freer chatting!

Moles and Leaks are different.

Moles are people who have ligitimat access to inteligence (their members of the goverment) who are recruited by forign goverments to send them information (usaly for money or ideological reasons).

When a Mole is "Turned" he becomes a double agent and sends the forign goverment false information.

When people speak of leaks they are usualy refering to intentialy, voluntary and secret releses of information to the general public made without the active partispation of a forign power. Leaks my come from individuals who feel they will benifit if the secret becomes general knowlage or even whole organizations that desides to leak a piece of information.
