1) Will it be possible to locate someone on the Thor using a guide's FlamingFerret program, like you can do with a cellphone's GPS features? Or is a person only traceable the moment they post? (or not at all o.o)
2) Would their, er, allowance at the beginning be enough to cover the purchase of clothes and still have enough to spare for a few meals?
3) Mmmm, so if someone hits the "post" key for an entry and they have a piece of paper with a drawing covering their face, will that reflect in their network user picture? >____>
4) How unusual is it for someone to completely separate their identity on the FlamingFerret/official documents and for their "irl" interactions? If it is unusual, how long will it take for someone to get caught? Does it count as something like identity document forgery, and will someone obtain a criminal record through that?
To clarify what I mean by "traceable the moment they post" ---> like how you can locate where someone's accessing the internet from through ISP.
And. Er. A few questions for something I may or may not use, tending towards "not" because I may get lazy/forget about this/derp in the very near future: What species made the encoding for the Ferret, how close are their thought processes to humans, and how easy will it be to understand their programming? More importantly: IS MATH TRULY THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE -----
/browses through the wiki, s-sob. I vaguely remember something about Trillian's old job.
1) It's possible to locate someone's actual physical position using the Guide. (Or more accurately, the actual physical position of someone else's Guide. Whether or not that someone else is with the Guide is a different question entirely.) It might take a bit of fiddling, but it's certainly not anything a genius scientist couldn't overcome. 8) (also, in response to your question in your additional comment - the encoding for the FF browser is something that any human with a bit of computer knowledge can eventually understand for themselves, if they were to take the time and trouble

1) Personal Guides are pretty much fully customizable - however much hacking your character wants to do that only affects their own guide is fine. Of course, always make sure to check with another player first if you want anything your character does to affect a different character's Guide!
5) Guides are cheap. Why do you think the Vogons hand 'em out like candy? There might be a small replacement fee as well as a mountain of paperwork involved in acquiring a new one, but on the whole it's not difficult at all.

5) What happens if someone loses their guide?

5) What if it's destroyed? And how easy (in terms of access)/costly would it be to purchase another Guide?
