I'm sure everyone has been spied on by other alliances, but what are some tricks to finding spies?
the issue is a) suspecting you have a spy and then b) finding them.
Usually, I find it is best to operate as if I have one and thus make sure that real targets, and key targets are restricted to a core 'crack' team of trusted members.
Most of the time spies end up revealing themselves through mistakes, or the info they pass on is not helpful in the end to another alliance. They are also usually dead weight, which means if you remove dead weight you thus remove the spy.
If you believe in the honor system it is simple; Don't use spies and no one will spy on you.

Spies, in my opinion, are perhaps the most problematic in this game. Granted, throughout history we hear about espionage and sabotage, but honest...in a game? It's actually difficult to find a spy, Ichi. Everyone has their own tactics for rooting them out.
Spies, refugees, traitors...those are my biggest pet peeves in this game. I tend to run such players in the ground if I can and when I find them.
I have no issue with true refugees, especially when someone leaves an alliance because they cannot condone some of the acts of alliance leadership. Traitors and Spies on the other hand...should be shot. That's what they do in the real world anyhow and I fully approve of that.
