but they are used by every well organized alliance
I don't disagree with the general thrust of what you wrote, but I would disagree with that bit; I've been in several extremely well-organised alliances that haven't used them, and wouldn't on principle. In all honesty, you can generally get just as good intel in friendly discussions with enemy players anyway without being dishonest about it. Of course that doesn't allow you to do this sort of thing, but there's no BP in this sort of thing either.
I was a spy once, back in Chi, I think; I thought it would be great fun, but I absolutely hated it and it put me off them for life.
