On day 29, after things are starting to look bad for Arstotzkans, Jorji shows up and tells the inspector about an opportunity to escape to Obristan. If detained, he says that it is not a problem since most police officers already know him and he just has to " have little talk with them again."Īs usual, detaining Jorji does not hold him back for long. He has correct papers, but his face is on the wanted list. Jorji is persistent and appears once again on day 24. This time, he offers 10 credits for a green stamp.
His weight does not match his documents, as he is trying to smuggle drugs across the border. Even if he is detained at this point, he shows up again on day 22 and tries to pull off the same trick. Jorji appears again on day 19, this time with contraband. It is impossible to unlock the token if he is denied every time on days 4, 6, 8, and 11 (denying him on day 11 would lead to a citation, since he genuinely did bring every required document). Allowing him to enter on day 11, or at any point earlier, will unlock the Obristan token and a related achievement. Jorji finally shows up with all required documents on day 11, this time clear for entry. Even if the inspector denies Jorji entry or has him detained, he maintains a positive attitude and sympathizes with the inspector's difficult job. When he shows up on day 8, he still does not have an entry permit, and, instead, presents an entry ticket, which were only valid on day 3.
On day 6, he has managed to get a valid passport, but does not carry an entry permit. First, he has a clearly faked passport on day 4. The next few days, Jorji will continue to try and enter with incorrect documents. The fake passport Jorji presents on day 4. Jorji first appears on day 3 without a passport claiming that " Arstotzka so great, passport not required" and leaves on his own when interrogated. Jorji also briefly appears in the official short film adaptation.
