My family was already killed before this incident.
And anyways, Jason confirmed that the person cheated and walked through my walls. They might have also did something to make themselves invisible which would explain why none of my dogs moved.
Glad to know they've been banned, but $8 is such a throwaway that I'm sure they'll be back again.

Yeah, and I think I get most of that. I understand how careful you have to be. I've died dozens of times while designing this one house cause it's not just the wiring that requires attention, it's...other things. Can't really go in to detail cause it gives away the process of successfully robbing me, but let's just say I'm used to being very hesitant when testing (or prepping to test).
But can you confirm:
The house save-state gets saved when a person: 1.) Successfully reaches your safe OR 2.) Kills a member of your family
That's my main gist. My house was robbed, but nothing was changed, and by nothing I mean my pitbulls. When a player walks one block EAST, off of the doormat, there is a direct path leading SOUTH where two dogs bee-line straight for the "visitor". I placed them right up against the SOUTHERN edge of the map and when I entered my house they were still there.
Am I correct in thinking that something suspicious happened? That someone was able to walk through every wall, and make it so the dogs wouldn't follow them or leave their "starting positions"?

(Jason is going to be so annoyed that I emailed him about this already, but I just wanted an answer from the other CD players)
If I'm correct in my understanding, your house's state (placement and interactions of items on the map) are saved whenever a player:
- Reaches your vault
- OR kills a family member.
I recently had a house near the front page. It had a bunch of L-shaped steel walls near the entranceway (with dogs hidden behind those walls) and my dead family was within view. Here's a pic to show (sorry, taken on my cellphone), and I'll note it was taken before my daughter died:
I just came back and saw my money was gone. This was no big deal cause I was excited to commend the person who robbed me, but the weird thing I noticed was all my dogs were still behind the L-shaped walls, and the two dogs that I placed directly south of the entranceway were still sitting against the wall.
I did a thorough check of my house to see if any ladders were placed, dogs dead (dogs will die if you pass through my house successfully), or wires had been cut, but everything was just as it always is (or at least when I set up the house safely). During the test process I ended up dying cause a dog was now outside of a "closet" that I have them stationed in, and they flipped a switch that blocked my path forward. Now I can't watch the videotape of this mystery robber.
Does anyone think this is suspicious? Am I the only one who finds it unfair that you can't at least watch your videotapes while in your house? I mean, don't we tend to watch our TVs indoors to begin with? That last part was a joke, but seriously, it's not like my character is watching the video feed outside of their house on their cellphone.
Basically...this blows...
