I think we need to talk about two decisions quickly: Offensive or defensive espionage, and whether or not to spy on the League. Those two are only a few votes apart and could have a huge effect on us depending on which way they go.
No one has bothered doing any espionage against us yet. As it stands, the effects of any espionage act against us have no real meaning. The effects would be one of these (or combination thereof):

  • Loss in Favor
  • Research hindered
  • Possible champs go mia (is it possible to lose a summoner spell through espionage? even if so it falls under same category or hurting us in-game)

If you look at where we are in this arc, none of those really hurt us. We have no favor as it stands, our research has gotten nowhere all arc, and we are already sanctioned on top of being in last place, making trying to hurt our in-game performance laughable. There isn't anything the factions gain, or take from us, by committing espionage against us. I would think they would be trying to be digging up secrets on each other to get one of the other factions sanctioned during tournament so they have a better chance of winning.

I think going counter espionage would be a waste for us, we've been stuck in it all arc and no one has bothered to go after us (and probably will be assuming we will stick to counter espionage and so won't want to try any against us). I think that we need to do some espionage that would help out our research. The league is the obvious choice with that goal in mind.
I also agree with this, especially considering how slow out research is going, and we really want to boost that so that we can have something to show for this arc. One research project that we never even finished isn't going to cut it...And like Mike said, in the end we really have nothing to lose from going on the offensive against the league, heck I would say we should even send eve to do the job since we might get more out of it.
((maybe? I'm a understanding the mechanics wrong here?))

We got a lot of secrets they could dig up. that means we may have to roll 2-3 sanctions and those can hurt. And considering how the polls are we wouldnt go for the leage we would go for bombing or some other psycho option, so might as well stay home.

I reserve the right to be loudly opinionated on subjects I am completely ignorant of

This must have been what our army looked like on Krocylea

It even has Aatrox, Karthus, Hecarim, the Dragon (can we agree that's me riding it?), and one of the soldiers could pass for Mordekaiser (although not a great match, but still).

Edit: I went ahead and used photoshop to add in a little message to the Void. As I see it, when the Discord was first formed the Void was pretty much in charge and by far the stronger of the 2 armies. Krocylea was really the signal of the reversal of that; We showed the Void who's boss, and became the final boss that wiped out Freljord's and Ionia's militaries.
