   The name is pretty ominous if you've read the Three Body Problem series. I don't want my agents planning against me in secrecy.

   Just out of curiosity, why did you pick that name? Is there anything wallfacey about this project I'm not getting?

      Lol, I understand. I was reading the book and I was at the part where the wallfacer project was announced. I did not want to think too much more :D

      From the README:

      > The name is borrowed from the Wallfacers of Liu Cixin's The Dark Forest — people entrusted with plans too sprawling for anyone else to follow.

      Which misunderstands the book. The point of Wallfacers is that they cannot share their plan with anyone because the enemy is spying on them at all times.

         maybe it is deliberate to throw off the spies.
