Still not a usable answer.

It appears that it is possible to configure a system such that only cards issued by the Villages will work. The question remains: will the system be configured in that way?

Hopefully, we will soon know when the software has been updated and a gate reconfigured to use it. Then someone can test whether or not the cloned cards will work.
