For the first half of your question (before the Re: Police), we wanted to know if you wanted to reframe this into a plot or something actionable to Lance? We weren't sure if you were curious about the answers or if you had something specific you were looking for in these types of questions, and wanted to clarify direction since we assumed the bulk of the questions had to do with helping newcomers bypass police attention. We're not sure these answers will help illuminate a new direction for that plot, and we're working on alternative solutions for more enjoyable playability (moving arrivals around town again, for example, while helping with a new incarnation of the Welcome Committee). We're concerned that incoming players will have to devour and understand a wealth of new information if all of this is executed into a plot, and want to try some different methods of engagement before we add even more information. Don't worry – this isn't something we'd expect you to think about, but we wanted to be transparent about where we were coming from.
We definitely don't want to stall you, so if it's just curiosity, or a matter of Lance realizing and accepting the state of the world, that's great! We just wanted to be sure we were on the same page. We're not fancy scientists, but we'll indulge you with the sci-fi explanations we have.

We'll get back to the rest of this on Sunday!
