People can spy on you when you are on PPT, so I think its only fair that people on PPT should be able to spy aswell.
What do others think?

For the same reason you can't attack/conquer/raid. You give up your ability to be protected by ppt if you do this.

Yes, but no one can attack/conquer/raid you while your on PPT hence you can't attack/conquer/raid anyone back (thats the whole point of PPT), but they can spy on you. So why can't people on PPT be able to do the same?

you should be happy that you can spy people who are on PPT
. If this is changed then even more people will go on PPT.

How about then, that you could spy other players but if any of your spies get caught it would end your PPT.

this would be a bad idea because in wars people could just load up on spies while on PPT and kind of rotate who is spying. and then everyone else can keep the low spy count just to prevent sabbing. all around it would kill Anit Coverting during wars and such.

I like this, if you send your spies and they don't get caught, no one would know. But maybe there should be a punishment even more strict if you get caught. Perhaps not be allowed on PPT for the rest of the week and even the next week?

Interesting idea, but why not expand it. You agree to go on PPT - thus you don't attack/Spy/Sab anyone for 48 hours, and no-one can do it to you. But if you come off PPT early in order to commit a hostile act then you are punished by the powers that control the allocation of PPT status. Maybe you are forbidden from applying for PPT for one month.

the post above has a brilliant idea, though it is only normally small users like me who leave ppt earlier if we find a big hit

I think this would be a great idea so that you could spy while on PPT but if you get caught you couldn't apply fot it for a month or so. Or you couldn't spy at all for 5 days or a whole week.

You would, though, lol. From what i have heard you would agree to anything which reduces/removes ppt.
Also i am for the idea

Yeah thats a pretty good addition NDCDN. Though I don't agree with DoubleX about the can't apply for PPT for a month or so thing. I think that just loosing your PPT would be annoying enough, and remember if your spies are cought you loose half of them (I think), which is pretty annoying aswell

well if you think about what PPT is then you would see the flaw there...
you basically have a "shield" around you so nothing can go IN or OUT. people can spy on you because they dont have to go IN in order to see your stuff, they can look through the shield
but you cant spy out because that would involve sending your spys to another galaxy
