    Ok. I have 3 main scripts I deal with.

    GameMain (on the player object, local authority)
    GameManager (on it's own gameobject, no authority)
    GameMain_Server (on it's own object, server authority)

    I am using Master Server Kit.

    On Game Manager, I have a function:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.     [ClientRpc]
    2.     public void RpcSetupAnswer()
    3.     {
    4.         y = 230f;
    5.  
    6.         myLocalPlayer.AnswerPoints = 0;
    7.         myLocalPlayer.SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername = "Nobody";
    8.        
    9.         ChangeStatusOfSubmitAnswer(false);
    10.         AnswerContainer.SetActive(true);
    11.        
    12.         foreach (GameMain a in GameMain.players)
    13.         {
    14.             if (!a.GetComponent<NetworkIdentity>().isLocalPlayer)
    15.             {
    16.                 GameObject answer = Instantiate(answerprefab);
    17.                 answer.GetComponent<SetAnswer_GO>().SetButtonInfo(a.myAnswer, a.Username, () => { myLocalPlayer.AnswerButtonClicked(a.Username); });
    18.  
    19.                 answer.transform.SetParent(GameObject.Find("AnswersContainer").transform, false);
    20.                 answer.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(-30.5f, y, 0f);
    21.                 answerprefabs.Add(answer);
    22.                 y -= 55f;
    23.             }
    24.         }
    25.     }
    The issue is with the "
                    answer.GetComponent<SetAnswer_GO>().SetButtonInfo(a.myAnswer, a.Username, () => { myLocalPlayer.AnswerButtonClicked(a.Username); });
    " portion.

    On the CLIENT, the username gets sent. (verified with debug.log), answerbuttonclicked looks like:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.     [SyncVar (hook = "OnSelectedAnswerOwnerUsernameChanged")] public string SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername;
    2.     public void AnswerButtonClicked(string submitter)
    3.     {
    4.        
    5.         Debug.Log("We've selected: "+ submitter +"'s answer!");
    6.         this.SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername = submitter;
    7.        
    8.         CmdAnswerPoints();
    9.     }
    10.  
    11.     void OnSelectedAnswerOwnerUsernameChanged(string value)
    12.     {
    13.         Debug.Log("Selected Answer Owner Name changed to: "+ value);
    14.         this.SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername = value;
    15.     }
    On the client, I do get successful results of: "We've selected: Username's answer!".

    Now, it calls the command:
    Code (CSharp):
    1.     [Command]
    2.     public void CmdAnswerPoints()
    3.     {
    4.         Debug.Log("Adding +1 to: "+ SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername);
    5.         gm.AddPointToPlayer(this.SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername);
    6.     }
    On the SERVER, SelectedAnswersOwnerUsername is blank.

    For the life of me, I can NOT figure out why?

    Is it because i'm calling the initial function from a ClientRpc? Or is there just something i'm not seeing?

    Solution: Instead of pulling from a local variable, i just passed the variable along with the cmd.
