2. Ooooo… I’ve been thinking about this, too. Sadly, I haven’t found a list of examples beyond Rob’s initial article and this earlier G+ post: https://plus.google.com/108131264929529993281/posts/hxoHY956qwb

   A comment by Maezar makes the great suggestion of using traits from Freebooters on the Frontier. I can see how those could be reframed as Flags.

3. My Fourth World hack contains about a dozen examples: http://divnull.com/blog/2016/seed-fourth-world-revisited/

   But then, I posted that first thread, so there isn’t a whole lot new there (better phrasing, though).

4. I was revisiting Flags for my own hack earlier this weekend; these are from Lester Ward’s playbooks. I’m sure he doesn’t mind me extracting them:

   Accommodating: counter my proposal with a less attractive one I must either accept or disrupt the harmony of the group.

   Aspiring: make me an offer that threatens my social standing.

   Bumptious: challenge my knowledge and prove that I have more to learn.

   Compassionate: offer me an easier solution that requires I exploit those weaker than me.

   Curious: convince me to try something I probably shouldn’t.

   Deceitful: believe and act on a lie I’ve told you.

   Devoted: offer me an easier solution that requires I compromise my relation with _____________.

   Graceless: include me in a beneficial social interaction I must spoil with blunt observation or crass behavior.

   Greedy: offer me financial reward to undermine a friend.

   Gullible: tell me a lie I believe.

   Heroic: let me keep you from going first into danger so I can go myself

   Honest: involve me in a deception I must ruin.

   Irresponsible: convince me to shirk my duty.

   Peculiar: refuse my aid because I’m different.

   Portentous: seek my divinations in a moment of uncertainty and trust them implicitly.

   Righteous: offer me an easier solution that requires I violate my principle of _____________.

   Selfish: suggest I sacrifice something (tangible or intangible) to improve the lot of others.

   Sycophantic: insist I publicly compare the greatness of two people from whom I seek favor.

   Trustworthy: confide in me a secret that would damage you if revealed.

   Unsophisticated: exemplify a social convention or intricate concept I must misunderstand

   Visionary: offer me an easier solution that interferes with my dream of _____________.
