Spoilers Off applies to all Awesome pages, so all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!
- When you catch Shaddy Safadi, a certain smuggler, he attempts to bribe you. Your reply, if you choose to detain him anyway? "You cannot bribe an officer of Arstotzka." You may be a border guard for a backward, communistic nation, you may reject even the most desperate of people, you may be a nameless bad guy, but dammit, you have principles and you'll stand by them.
- Going out of your way to detain a suspected criminal (Vince Lestrade) trying to cross the border. This is before you have a most wanted list so catching him requires you to find a way to reference his status as a wanted man with your discrepancy finder. If you pull it off it ends up in the paper.
- When the protagonist detains the Sex Slave trafficker Dari Ludum that woman is afraid of. Who says a member of the border control can't be a crusader for justice?
- The best part is that you have absolutely no evidence or justification for holding him, beyond the note from the woman. But you live in the glorious nation of Arztotska. And you have a badge. And when you tell the soldiers he's a bad guy and they take him away based on your word, you get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, knowing that even repressive governments sometimes get it right.
- You can get a bit more evidence than that. Not much, but it's something. Give him the note that the woman gave you, and he'll get angry and say that he'll "break her in two." The "detain" button pops up immediately afterwards.
- There's also the newspaper headline the next day: "Human trafficking ring shut down! Grestin checkpoint officer nabs mastermind". The incident is considered so significant that the newspaper prints his mugshot when it rarely prints photos at all.
- And this is not mentioning the fact that he will be punished in a communist country. Those familiar with how conditions are in those countries will agree that he deserved it. That is, if he isn't executed, which he most likely will be...

- Any time you take down a terrorist (or several) by detaining them or by shooting them with your tranquilizer gun or sniper rifle, saving the lives of the border guards.
- Jorji getting the proper paperwork to get in. Even though it's forged.
- Jorji repeatedly getting out of detention, and never giving up on his goal of getting into Arstotzka. Every single time he's denied or even detained, he gladly takes the loss, and in a few days he comes back to the border like nothing happened.
- The three good endings.
- Getting enough Obristan passports and money to get you and your entire living family out of the country. Moreso if you didn't lose a single relative to hunger or disease, and adopted your sister's daughter too.Obri inspector: Welcome to Obristan. Next!
Narration: Obristan above all - Aiding the EZIC until they breach the wall, becoming their newest agent. "Glory to the New Arstotzka."
- Not aiding the EZIC, successfully defending the wall from the EZIC assault, and getting the personal approval from The Political Officer. Keep in mind, the audit isn't for the month spent in the game, but for the last 20 years, meaning the inspector's career was essentially spotless if he didn't aid the EZIC. Oh, and getting this ending unlocks Endless Mode. "Glory to Arstotzka" indeed.Monologue: A new agreement has been reached with Kolechia. Grestin Border Checkpoint will reopen soon. Return to your post on January 1st.
- Getting enough Obristan passports and money to get you and your entire living family out of the country. Moreso if you didn't lose a single relative to hunger or disease, and adopted your sister's daughter too.
- When someone drops a bomb on your desk, Calensk walks in and calmly goes "What is this amateur shit?" before telling you how to disarm it (mocking how cheap it is the whole time) and then just tells you to hand it over so he can sell it for parts. You don't even need to shut down the checkpoint, because he says he needs to work. Calensk has balls of steel.
- Your boss, Dimitri, is generally a callous hardass who docks your pay * if you put anything besides official MoA plaques on the wall of your booth. He even has the gall to order you to break protocol and let his lover, Shae Piersovska, through. However, if you deny Ms. Piersovska without detaining her, on his last visit Dimitri yells at you for making him look like "a powerless fool" but is unable to issue formal punishment (as doing so would mean admitting that he ordered an employee to violate Arstotzkan law). Take that, you arrogant bastard.Shae: You know, Dimitri asked me to come. Said I would get through. But I guess he is not so much in control.
- Aiding the Vengeful Father in his quest to personally kill serial child killer Simon Wens, even knowing that you'll get a citation for admitting a wanted criminal (and possibly a second if you forget to confiscate Simon's passport again after the Father gives it back to you). He tells you to "read the news tomorrow." Sure enough, on the following day...News headline: Bloody Scene In Gennistora! Simon Wens Found Dead In Confusing Mess
- The short film adaptation which averts Video Game Movies Suck. In ten minutes, it completely encapsulates the sensation of playing the game, both the monotonous handling of papers given by the parade of people and the gutwretching decisions made by the Player Character. It even has Jorji Costava! With a hilarious passport ridden with typos.
