... That ship has sailed!
Broken world wouldn’t work, I think, since the thread wasn’t designed with cell-structures or behind-the-scenes plays in mind (as far as I could tell). A lot of it was player driven, and I don't think a spy's employers should be left out of the loop or have no interests of their own in the plot.
I guess what I'm saying is that you can't simply spring a spy network on a thread and expect the GM to roll with it, since the information network is a big plot point for a spy. Without knowledge of the world outside of the plot (or the plot outside of the story), I don't think a roleplayer would have sufficient detail to control such a faction.
For such a thread, we would need a static setting. Spies, I feel, are effective because they have identities in the community, and can therefore deflect suspicion.

Personality:
In this thread, simply staing “you’re a good listener” won’t do. I don’t want fence sitters, I want CHARACTERS. To this end, I would like to base our characters on the “five temperament” model, which was once common in historical psychology and still pops up in media today.
Temperaments aren’t concrete – they are simply personality guidelines.

Temperaments aren’t concrete – they are simply personality guidelines.
Supine
means “lying down”. Those under this temperament often seek to help others for no other reward than their own self-gratification. Whether they are a saint or a martyr is anyone’s guess. A supine fears the rejection of others, and often suffers low self-esteem as a result.
Sanguine
means “blood”, the life source of the body. Those under this temperament are bouncy and excitable, and feel most at home around the gossip mill. While a Sanguine seeks the attentions of others, they also fear the rejection or scorn of others.
Melancholy
is a feeling, a really depressing one. Those under this temperament are often down to earth, modest, conscientious of others and pay a fine attention to detail. A melancholic is strong in the face of a known threat, but fears the unknown. This fear makes it hard for them to open up to others.
Choleric
means “bile”, the gunk that comes from your liver. Choleric people are driven by strong passions and ideals, and most often like to bulldoze over complications in a most straightforward manner. Choleric temperaments often fear a lack of control over their lives, and their fiery tempers can often lead to unforeseen complications later down the line.
Phlegm
is the stuff that comes out of your nose. As their name would imply, those who are classified as Phlegmatic are great at following the flow. They are rational thinkers at heart, though they often fear distinguishing themselves or standing out in any way.
