Yup. I know just enough about EVE to know that this is not, in the least, a joke… but for all that, it's funny as hell :)

They say EVE is a spreadsheet simulator with some spaceships thrown in it, so you're probably right.
More like, EVE is real life espionage and power politics… except what's at stake is just pixels. The important stuff is so real you need spreadsheets to keep tabs on it all, but the consequences are pixels and video game numbers going up or down.
I know there have been lots of spies but are there any documented cases of double or triple agents?
I don't see why not. It's a big userbase, and again, the consequences aren't nearly as great as those for real-life double and triple agents.
