Because they have huge cannons acting as coastal defense? That seemed to be what was reported.

Wait, do we even have any spies? I'm not really familiar with the spy stuff.

Didn't we get the pilot? Can't we scan his brain?
If we did, +1, but I think they either got scrambled by the tractor beam or got blown out into space.
This is a normal discussion, folks.

The spy phase just means we can ask one question that May or may not be answered.

They keep talking about volume of fire, I just assumed that it was small-arms...

I am nervous about asking about camouflage, because it doesn't really change much... Also, if they don't have it, and they catch the spy, then they will know that we are thinking about it... I am half tempted to use spies as a misdirection force and to lead the opposing team into doing stuff that we are spying on...

Small arms probably can't "smash ships", and our rifles where explicitly described as superior. They don't really talk about volume of fire either. I would personally prefer spies to be used for their intended purposes, taking a bit of the "blind" out of the game. I don't think they know what we looked for if we actually succeed.

Came up with a quick flag, what do you think?

We could maybe ask a more general question about their uniforms. Something like "What changes have been made to the Manonerans' uniforms since 1910?" That way we might get the info we need and if we fail they don't know we're specifically thinking about camouflage. Plus, if they've done steel helmets or something, we'll find out about that too.

Asking about uniforms is better. But what if the answer to whether or not they have camouflage it true? Nothing changes. I still prefer a question in a different field.

Please agree on something to spy on. Also, if you don't post a flag before I post the battle turn, I'll count you as forfeit for the flag competition.

Fine, we are out of time and really need to post a flag. Since you +1 this already, I'll give it another +1 and post it.

I think the more we try to game it, the bigger the chance of failing. Something that broad will most likely fail, which is why I wanted a simple yes/no question.

Sticky Rice go around the front lines, from both sides, to search for anything resembling but not identical to the newly deployed Kappa suit. Save a few custom dyed red, purple, or blue hair, to his astonishment, He didn't find any.

Hm. So either there isn't any, or what they made is really, really good :P. Well I guess my guess is wrong then, they must have actually made a rifle as we had originally assumed. Hopefully, the camo will help keep our officers from dying at least, and give our sharpshooters an edge until we can get them a proper rifle.
