    Hi,

    I keep getting a citation for invalid height. How in the hell do you even check the height? I read something online about a height chart, but I can't find it.

    @joshck94: There is a height chart in the background behind the person. You can see how tall they are supposed to be on their ID

    @vilhelmnielsen: I feel like an idiot, but where is this chart? Also, how does the fingerprint system work? How do I tell the person is who they said they are? It said no known aliases, but somehow the fingerprints did not match.

    You see the numbers behind the person? That's their height in meters.

    So that guy is about 1.7M

    @mijati: damn, that's sneaky! I had to look at the picture like 10 times before I saw it. But, how exactly does the fingerprint system work? I thought it said no known aliases that the person was who they said they were?

    It's the other way around. If there are known aliases then the person is known to legally use different names, so a name mismatch may be legit. If there are no known aliases, then the person has no reason to have a mismatched name. You can highlight where it says 'no known aliases' and compare it with the dodgy name to give yourself a reason for denial.

    A fingerprint mismatch is always, always a denial (as far as I know - I've only been playing the game since yesterday). If their fingerprints don't match what you have in the database, then they can't come in. The only valid reason for it would be if they've had a finger transplant or if your records are wrong, and records of glorious Arstotzka cannot possibly be wrong so DENIAL.

    BTW you can use Inspect mode to compare the fingerprints too.
