Have to say, I loved one of the spy tactics one of the MDS wings used (don't know which one).
They targeted the "weak link" in an alliance and pounded them. Then they cut a deal. Be our spy, and we will keep you in the game.
Much better way to do it than trying to sneak someone in.

Another cool ploy they did a while back was send an MM telling everyone to fake one of the SRB's so the spy'd pass it on and you'd all sent heaps of troops there while a little band of locals prepared to pound the *smile* out of a guy about 15 squares away. Lovely work.
thats the thing that *smile* me about a spy in the ranks. for decent offence/defence you end up only using a trusted core of the alliance, and most your alliance becomes a mistrusted source of crop.
not much fun, but agree the tactic is effective.

Hehe didumms.Your the one who chose to go in with a pack of serbs rather than join an alliance with good aussie diggers. ;DTiger74 said:
what did he do?we were travelling okay before the bloody spy started wrecking everything. The piece of sh!t cost me about 3 weeks personally

When I joined we weren't even in a NAP with the serbs, and I was on the other side of the planet to you lot.
I put the spies (regardless of who uses them) in the same category as people running multiple accounts, or in MMORPG's those who buy gold, loot guild banks, or ninja loot during raids.
Just because something can be done, doesn't mean its cool.
Have to say though, you want to see angry, see a forum when 6 months worth of loot in a guild bank is stolen. Then people get a tad cranky
Hey guys, even though I'm no longer participating , I still follow this thread keenly, and am glad to see the action's heating up.
T74, you've lost me. What do you mean by this. What is a guild bank?, and what do you mean by ninja loot?

in MMORPG's like Warcraft, you basically go around beating up people and monsters for gold and loot. Similar to the alliances in Trav, they have guilds (strength in numbers and all). As a guild, you can pool resources by creating a guild bank, where everyone contributes. Its actually common for people to withdrawl everything from the bank, leave the guild, then change realm (similar to going from S2 to S1 with the same village).
Ninja looting occurs during raids for epic items. For large quests, you need a team, and generally everyone agrees to loot sharing arrangements in advance. A ninja looter goes along with the group, but when the item becomes available they pick it up, quit the group, and exit to another area.
These are different issues to Trav of course, but are examples of people using the system in a way that goes against the spirit of the gameplay.
