Day Eight in Papers, Please brings new challenges: searching all Kolechians is out, diplomats are in, and the EZIC plotline begins. Learn how to handle these changes and booth upgrades.

Alright, let's talk about Day Eight in Papers, Please. This is where things start to get a bit more complex, so pay attention!

First off, the rule about searching every single Kolechian? That's gone. You can stop doing that now. But, new people are showing up: diplomats. These guys will have both a passport and a special diplomatic authorization. Keep an eye out for mismatches between their passport and the authorization – like the passport number, name, or even the country that issued it. Also, make sure their authorization actually says they can enter Arstotzka, and that it has a valid diplomatic seal (though that seal thing won't be a big deal for a few days).

Day Eight also kicks off a bigger story with EZIC, a group you'll be hearing a lot more about. The first EZIC contact will be Entrant Five, who'll just give you a note mentioning 'Corman Drex' before leaving. Then, Entrant Nine will actually be Corman Drex himself. You don't *have* to give him the note, but if you don't, he'll be back the next day asking for it.

Oh, and if you bought that first booth upgrade to use the Space Bar, get ready for the next one. Hitting the Tab key to bring up the Visa Stamp will become available today. Remember, each booth upgrade unlocks three days after you buy the previous one.

Quick Tip: There's a small bribe situation with someone named Shaddy. It only affects your credits by about 5, but you're better off approving his claim *after* he makes his bribe offer. Just a little something to keep in mind for a smoother day.
