just saying you guys need to be more creative and not so hinge in what seems normal for you.

[x] "How do I know you're telling the truth? You said that everybody lies."
-[x] "I need proof. What's my real name?"
--[x] "My favorite food?"
---[x] "My fantasy football team?"
----[x] "My first kill?"

Just the name is too easy. He could have easily investigated us while we were out. Plus last one is a trick question.
 
We literally asked him what does he want. That is giving up 101.

No, it's a leading question, not an answer. Giving up is simply giving him what he wants, not asking what exactly he wanted.

We aren't, we are questioning him.

That was last update, this is the current vote:
I feel like you guys give up too easily. You literally went for the option that has gotten movie spies killed. In movies you do the ridiculous and real life you commit suicide instead of giving up. I am disappointed.

Pro-tip for this quest. Take everything you know about movie spies, put it in a sandwich baggie, and sell it to your local movie critic. Then tell me what you think. Movies are ridiculous when it comes to the intelligence community. Do you know what you call an agent who kills themselves? All out of moves and desperate. A smart agent will hold out until help arrives, if there is any, or attempt to persuade their interrogator that they actually know something useful. Not many agents are so dedicated that they're willing to kill themselves before giving up information.

How many steps are on the staircase in our house? Is it blue, green, or red? Do we have a favorite number, and, if so, is it 42? What does XXX, or XIV mean to us? Have we seen the Hall in Langley?

21 going up, and 22 coming down. None. Our favorite number is 22, and absolutely nothing. No.

What? In both movies and really life, spies give up and even turn. If no spy ever gives up, what is the point of interrogation?

Well put. More so than not, interrogation isn't actually about torture, for the smart spy, as much as it is psychological hell. Torture only results in the captive telling the quickest lie to get it to stop.

And what happens to them later on? They get killed.

Not necessarily true, for the smart agent.

Not always, there are prisoner swaps and things like that. Also, under the assumption that we were captured by the enemy, and that we were deep in their base, If we didn't talk we would have been likely to die. Now, it turned out not to be the case, but we took the reasonable option as it seemed then.

Also smart. A stalwart attitude while being interrogated is indeed helpful, but it's also useful to get the captor to believe you know something useful, otherwise you're simply dead weight, and not even worth the bullet it would take to kill you.

Think about it, last update he called us a rookie and seemed disappointed, so saying nothing would at least prove we're brave and smart. This update even proved that acting like wimp and giving up so easily is bad. We need to try something he won't expect, not give in immediately.

How would he know the second two, even if he is who he says he is? And, the last is a bit iffy, especially since we likely haven't killed anyone yet, this is our first mission.

Also, the GM said this:
knowing their real name is more than enough.

2. common Password recovery or proof of owner question.
3. Internet and possible trick question.
4. Complete and utter trick question. If he catches this then that clears most of my doubts.

3. Internet and possible trick question.

We are a spy, we shouldn't have any details posted to the internet. Also, what does password recovery and proof of ownership have to do with anything?

Finally, we told him that this was our first mission, it shouldn't be hard to figure out that we haven't killed anyone yet.

It's a normal question they have as an option for password recovery and we haven't always been a spy.

I said trick question two times now. I never said people, just first thing we have killed. I want to see if he is as good as he says or if he is faking.
 
It's a normal question they have as an option for password recovery and we haven't always been a spy.

Again, what does password recovery have to do with anything? Also, why do you think he would fall for any of it, even if he is lying? Your questions are things our real handler likely wouldn't know, who expects the recruit to ask about his favorite fantasy football team, if we even have one? This guy, if he is lying, is likely experienced and wouldn't fall for it, and, might punish us for this.

It's on the internet. They same one everyone has access to, hack it. I don't know what a real handler would know, but are you implying the CIA don't look into their own men?

But why would our handler know those specific details? If they are giving him every detail of what we have done online, the file would be so think that he would never be able to read it.

Also, the CIA don't hake the whole internet, their simply isn't enough people or servers. Finally, hacking takes time.

They don't have to hack the whole thing. That's ridiculous.

Then how would they know? Background checks, even for the CIA, don't involve looking through every single detail of their online history, and, even if it did, their is no way they would give that info to our handler, simply because it would be too much to read.

Let us please at least die like a professional.

Knowing a spies name is more than enough to prove that you're either on the right side, or incredibly well connected. If there's anything more worthy of proof, it's asking somebody your real name.

Thank you for this tip, I'm a billion dollars richer now.

Wonderful, I'm always glad to help.


Of course.
 
Yeah, sounds like it.
