 		META: Player Spies
This was sparked from a discussion in #ruaware earlier:

Quote:
Bill: so the issue, if I understand it correctly, is that if someone decides to take on the roll of spy for Alecia, they should declare themselves
bagsbee: IMO, yes
bagsbee: and whatever info they share with us as a player, should not be used against them by ingame characters
bagsbee: ok suppose I am a spy, so I report back to Alicia "X did this, Y did that, etc"
bagsbee: and then I post in the forums, "I told Alecia 'X did this, Y did that'"
bagsbee: Alecia shouldn't turn around and say, "You told them you were spying!", because she is not supposed to know that I told other players about it, since UF doesn't exist to her
bagsbee: when I'm reporting to her, I'm ingame, when I'm posting to UF, I'm out of game
bagsbee: and ingame characters have no knowledge of what happens out of game
bagsbee: did that make any sense?
bagsbee: now, if ingame characters *do* know about UF...then it turns into a Charlie Kaufman movie Smile

 		And just to clarify, voting Yes on B votes for them NOT being punished. Smile

EDIT: Also, by "forums," that includes player resources such as #ruaware and The Guide as well. I'd edit the poll itself if I could.

 		Can I vote "none of the above?" More specifically, can I vote "I'm confused, I don't care, just give me a puzzle?"

 		A clarification please. If one of us were to spy for Alica (or anyone else Restorers etc) would this be limited to:

1) Spying only on in-game characters as controlled by the PMs
2) '1 above' + spying on player's in-game personas, for example reporting back what a player says in an in-game chat room
3) '1 and 2 above' + what players post here on UF, Wiki guide or any other site deemed to be out of game

 		IMHO 1 and 2 would be OK; 3 would be unacceptable.

 		I think that the other meta post that I've made should be a good guideline for that, in my humble opinion.
