A complete list of these guidelines can be viewed here: [1]

Trivia
- The scene parallels that of the Administrator and Miss Pauling in the WAR! Update comic.
- Robin Walker can be viewed in this comic as a short-tempered blonde man, with an enormous large tower of hats, which continues off the page.
- Corey Peters, an employee mentioned briefly in blog posts, makes an appearence as the employee who delivers the news of the missing map to Robin Walker.
- A shady hacker, wearing a Fancy Fedora, is seen distributing a video of the map to Youtube.
- Some Easter Eggs can been seen in the comic:
- Corey Peters is wearing a shirt with the logo for Portal 2, an upcoming Valve game.
- Robin is shown looking at the User hat checklist template, presumably for his wiki user page.
- A copy of "Hat Wearing Man" can be seen on Robin's control panel.
- There is a coffee cup stain on a button labeled Camera Beard. This is a reference to the alarming number of Camera Beard drops that occured after the WAR! Update, suggesting that someone had left a cup atop the button to cause the drops.
- Another button depicting the Golden Wrench has been taped over, presumably to prevent any more from being awarded.
