Spies operate in several different ways. Most of these spies do operations under covert intent, others do it like totally stupid rookies. Let's go through some of the things that idiots do while being spies.

OPERATIVE 1: MAKE SURE THE SPY KNOWS THE COMMAND AND THE COMMAND KNOWS THE SPY.

In other words, make sure only the command knows who the spy is, and no one else! It's completely useless to have a spy in a group when that group knows he/she is a spy. Better yet, make sure even your comrades don't know you're a spy. Giving information away to your comrades could result in the spy in your camaraderie finding out you are a spy.


OPERATIVE 2: MAKE SURE THE INFORMATION IS CLEAR

When you're a spy, the information goes in once and never goes in again. Note that return missions to an objective will give you away like a dead pigeon from a branch. The smart ones will get the info they need, get out, and send it once and only once, back to the command.


OPERATIVE 3: CLEAR THE COAST IF IT ISN'T CLEAR BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR BIG FAT MOUTH

Interception is a key worry for spies. So clear the coast and get the info across in the shortest time possible.


OPERATIVE 4: WORK ALONE, LONER

Don't work in teams or you'll be found out very quickly. Always get the information alone, deliver it alone, and do everything related to your spywork alone. You hear me? Alone. A-lone. LOOOOOOOOOONE.


OPERATIVE 5: STOP IF THEY TELL YOU TO STOP

Being spies, you do as you're told by the command. It's second nature. But you also have to do what the other party tells you to. Persistence and constant ignorance of rules within the group you're spying on will give you away like a dead pigeon. Do not perform insubordination and always try to get to the objective later. Not everything can happen the moment you want it to.


OPERATIVE 5 AND A HALF: DON'T ASK FOR HELP

Asking for help is a sure sign that you're a spy, especially when it's to information you're not supposed to be even worried about. So shut your trap and play with the flow, not follow it.


OPERATIVE 6: JUST FOR FUN

This operative 6 is here just for fun. So laugh. Now stop laughing. Get back to work.


OPERATIVE 7: JUST FOR FUN

Being a spy is not real business - spies are known to defect at the last moment. Always know you have the right to support whoever you want, you are a neutrality and you know it. Don't stick to one side too long, or you'll have trouble defecting again.
