It is a long rectangular room, with floor-to-ceiling windows for two of the walls: a long one facing the sniper's starting position, and a shorter one on the right. The window panes are bordered by columns and muntins, allowing the sniper to block their <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22laser%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22laser%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Blaser%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Laser" title="Laser">laser</a> and make it more difficult for the spy to tell what they're looking at. The sniper can view the entire room at once (minus narrow areas obscured by window columns), so unless the sniper is focused on one extreme of the room, the spy will need to rely on distraction or <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22cover%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22cover%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bcover%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Cover" title="Cover">cover</a> to hide their <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22tells%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22tells%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Btells%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Tells" title="Tells">tells</a>.

The bookcases are at back left and back right corners of the room, which can provide good bugging opportunities with the proper occlusion, unless the sniper decides to sacrifice their all-seeing vantage point to focus on that corner. </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Contact%20Double%20Agent%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Contact%20Double%20Agent%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BContact%20Double%20Agent%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Contact_Double_Agent" title="Contact Double Agent">Contact Double Agent</a>: The sniper can watch all <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22conversation%20circles%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Conversation%20Circle%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BConversation%20Circle%7Cconversation%20circles%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Conversation_Circle" title="Conversation Circle">conversation circles</a> at once.

Snipers tend to spend most of their time on the long side of the room, making the blue bookcase a little easier to perform an indirect transfer unseen. However, the sniper is able to move to get a very clear view of either bookcase, although it tends to make the other bookcase harder to see. </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Swap%20Statue%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Swap%20Statue%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSwap%20Statue%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Swap_Statue" title="Swap Statue">Swap Statue</a>: The two statue clusters are at right angles to each other, which can make it hard for the sniper to be able to get a good view of both sets at the same time, especially with the conversation circle blocking the view of the back set.

Visiting the middle statue in a group allows the spy to complete all three inspections with a single statue visit. </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Seduce%20Target%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Seduce%20Target%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSeduce%20Target%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Seduce_Target" title="Seduce Target">Seduce Target</a>: There are many pads quite close together, including five conversation circles, making it fairly easy to get onto the same pad as the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22seduction%20target%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Seduction%20Target%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSeduction%20Target%7Cseduction%20target%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Seduction_Target" title="Seduction Target">seduction target</a> for flirting. </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Purloin%20Guest%20List%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Purloin%20Guest%20List%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BPurloin%20Guest%20List%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" href="/wiki/Purloin_Guest_List" title="Purloin Guest List">Purloin Guest List</a>: The sniper's low viewing angle makes it difficult for them to see the guest list, making it more likely that they'll miss the purloin. </li></ul> <p data-rte-fromparser="true"><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%221%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22MapNav%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7BMapNav%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-4725075785445760cb9512" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> </p> Loading editor Maps Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
