The problem with Blip's design is that it just isn't cost effective. While the house costs about $50,000 to build, the tools to break it only cost about $10,000. When I started playing, one of my most successful houses worked kind of like this, but cheaper. There were multiple easy to defeat systems, all with wires leading to a series of trapdoors in the corner, after which came the vault. However, this design was mostly based on psychology. It worked sort of like those Nigerian prince scams. "Oh! That moron just used wooden walls! I'll just cut through those!" and so on. After one easy to defeat with brute force system was another, then another, than another. If they managed to break out into the open, they'd discover that they had committed to multiple traps, had wasted all of their tools so they couldn't get out, and worse, they couldn't get into my vault, as it was guarded by a corridor of trap doors that could only open if someone solved my house correctly. It worked fairly well for a while, and was my first house to survive overnight. I could get a couple of traps on my base $2000, and could easily add more traps, just placing the entrance to one next to the exit of the other. The point is, you want to make the robber waste all of their tools and die, rather than actually paying quite a bit of money to get through your traps because they can just cut vertically in a straight line.

Can't you just turn off the in-game music and listen to something else?

I'm a pacifist as well, but it seems like your laws protect the criminal, not the owner of the property. This could only work if the police had more power in Sweden than they have here, e.g. not requiring a warrant to search somebody. I do think the best thing to do if you're mugged is to give the mugger anything you have and escape, but that car alarm law just sounds ridiculous, as does that law about not being able to protect your belongings. Of course, I don't mean to be insulting.

The moral of the story: Cats are evil.

In actuality, the game hasn't been this packed since before the contest had been announced. Of course, it's fun now to take peoples' alt accounts when they aren't fast enough, and improve my house. I got 2 days' worth of improvement before the contest in a few hours.

What I'd do is have the client send its md5 sum when it connected to Jason's server. If the checksum isn't the same  as the current official client or no checksum is sent, refuse the client from connecting. Just a crappy solution I thought up.

Or you could just do a macro that pushes a key every 4:30 or something. It sounds a bit cheap IMO.

I just noticed the new version of Mausoleum Jason's trailer. It seems to be mostly the same, but there's this hardcore beat in the background. It's hard to explain. Just take a listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY-8MuN1lik

It also isn't good, structurally. If you have a family, you have to devote space at the beginning of your trap to the family, which makes your walls thinner since you have to put them somewhere. If your family is killed, you have nothing to stop you from putting a chihuahua powered trapdoor at the beginning of your house that stops all of the unsuccessful people from even trying your house. Of course, my trap requires walking over the corpses of my son and wife (my daughter is still alive) because I'm just a sick person like that.
