QuestionText:	Question that has just arisen <strike>very mysteriously</strike> that I figured I'd double-check: With an Arthropoda's ability to detect intent/deceit, is that still effective over e.g. video or voice connection but limited in expected ways, (like being able to pick something being off in the voice but other things being dependent on what's visible and not being able to pick things that would be inherently reliant on someone's physical presence nearby), or are they back down to their own natural people-reading skills in that situation?

AnswerText:	A good question. An Arthropoda-type is limited to being able to detect intent/deceit mostly in person: being physically near their bodies is a requirement to detect intent/deceit. After all, it seems to be a trait evolved to help <i>protect</i> the Arthropoda from would-be attackers; people can't well attack over video in any meaningful way.<br><br>This isn't to say that some Arthropodas can't use their new traits to have a better edge over others at detecting variances in voice, as you describe. We agree with that wholly! But it might not be as effective over the network as being physically in the presence of their deceiver. In all, the answer is: it's mostly for in-person interactions, but can sometimes extend over the network, especially if the liar they're speaking to is particularly obvious or it shows in their voice.
