want-to-know basis

Opposite to the need-to-know basis. Bypassing the security of this tight security method, in which information is only given to those who can present a good case for knowing about a project; this basis allows those who "want-to-know" to fight those who say they do not need-to-know.

Need to know basis

Good because I need to know everything immediately and anyone telling you to withhold information from me need to be brought to me for execution, immediately.
Hym "You know I'm going to murder anyone telling you that I am on a 'need to know basis' right? That is one of the 2 things I said I would murder over 1. Pretend to be me in an overt capacity and 2. Withholding information FROM me. Bring anyone telling you that to me immediately. For murder."
