5000 appointments

The Office of the Population Registry (the division of the Ministry of Interior responsible for identity cards, passports and the like) has announced that it has uncovered a system by which a bot would snap up all available appointments and then sell them to people in desperate need of an appointment to apply for a passport or whatever.

This has created an untenable situation, or made it much worse. There has been a terrible backlog of appointments and it is very difficult fir the average citizen to get an appointment to apply for a passport or identity card, for example. There are simply no appointments available for months in advance. Even though they release new appointments every now and then, they were getting snapped up and sold by this bot.

The Office of the Population Registry announced that they have successfully identified the bot and disabled its ability to function further in their system to snap up appointments. And more so, it has identified many of the appointments that were sold by this bot system and deleted the accounts registered for those appointments, thus freeing up 5000 appointments, with more on the way. 

These 5000 appointments should soon become available to the public again. I checked moments ago to try to make an appointment for something we need and could not find an open one, so either they will all snapped up again, either by the bot or by other people trying to make appointments), or they have not yet been released to the public..

first come first serve... good luck..
