I want to play again, but then I remember that the game has no player base. sad

Yup, died to that 4 step death a lot without knowing how to get past it.  tongue

#3 Re: Main Forum » How is this even possible? » 2014-04-22 00:27:34

I checked.  The wife doesn't move your first step into the house.

EDIT: I was thinking of building it. But the cost versus security is insane.

That is impossible to self-test.  the chiwauwau breaks the paradox circuit and turns on the grates with no way to turn them back off... unless I'm missing something

Hey, I almost robbed you once, but I screwed up the LoF in the top right with the cat.  I see you added a lot since then.

I also died in your house when it was on it's first or second day... I had a nice house and I HAD to hit the toggle button at the front that releases that dog.

haha, that isn't how it is set up.  depending on how much money I had I added dogs, then cat/chiwauwau pits.

More money then I could ever dream of... mine.  I secured my place, added some neat new traps... and died to a simple trap I've had for a long time.  my heart just dropped.  I think I need a break...

Here is my house that no one robbed:  http://castledraft.com/editor/U81Zh7

I used concrete for contrast.  I can easily build most of this for 4k and have just enough to lure people in.

My next visit I was going to bring 2 bricks and a ladder to get past the dance on the right.  for some reason it seemed 'obvious' to me the vault was over there.  Not sure why, and I could have easily been wrong.  I did think the vault was right behind that powered door though.  I hate dog dances and never would have made it any further.  Better protected then my house and I'm currently halfway up page 1 so well done.

#11 Re: Main Forum » Connell: House of Doom » 2014-04-19 23:54:42

I clicked the drugged meat and missed the dog a couple days ago... thought he was sleeping... he was NOT!

#12 Re: Main Forum » SELF TEST SADNESS. Take a look inside my home » 2014-04-18 20:49:50

I made it far into this house, but have never completed a single doggy dance properly.  If only 2k could buy me a crowbar I might have cracked it, but I am unable to complete dog dances properly.  tongue  Good luck on your next life!

In case you were curious, I made it this far: http://castledraft.com/editor/rUzAip

#14 Re: Main Forum » Funniest Home Surveillance Tapes » 2014-04-17 00:39:07

Cylence, I made it past your entrance just to find out the rest of your house is just as complicated.  love it!

#15 Re: Main Forum » Sorry to whomever was using 2 alt accounts to Suicide Scout Stowers. » 2014-04-15 18:41:55

I suicide scouted twice in that house.  Got to the cat on the right wall, which I let go south without thinking.  It was fairly obvious your vault was that way with what I had scouted.  Would never have made it past the next doggy dance though.

Edit: I see it has changed a bit.  Would have caught me up my next dive

#16 Re: Main Forum » Feedback Please » 2014-04-15 18:33:29

This house killed me more times then I can count.  Was amazing at that.  I think I made it to your combo one time and raged. when #2 and #3 didn't work.  I love the misdirection at the end with the dog LoF traps.

The wife seems vulnerable once you get enough money.  16 clubs, 1 brick, 2 drugged meat and a gun would kill her and get you back out safely.  Granted, the safer you keep her, the more space it takes up so I think you have it as good as you can with as little space.

Side note:  I could never figure out that button... now I see how it works and I love it's simplicity.

Random afterthough:  The wired wall next to the electric grid on the misdirection pits look suspicious enough to possibly test before you bring the dog, which would give them away as being traps.

#18 Re: Main Forum » Old house » 2014-04-15 02:44:14

I had something similar happen to me with one of my first houses.  I ended up building a wall of dogs that split my house in half.  Easy way to burn cash without losing it if you need to change something later. tongue

#19 Re: Main Forum » Old house » 2014-04-15 01:23:45

now that is a lot of dogs!

#20 Re: Main Forum » This game is unplayable because of cheater! » 2014-04-15 01:13:56

Care to share the video of him robbing you or will you continue to use that house?

#21 Re: Main Forum » This game is unplayable because of cheater! » 2014-04-15 00:53:02

Not to be that guy, but sounds like that guy was just trying to scout your house and got extremely lucky.  You already admitted he messed some things up and took many tries breaking your house.  That makes me think it wasn't a map hack.  Could have been a repeat offender, but you mentioned no one has made even half as far as he did into your house.  I know I got lucky earlier and SAW someones vault... was 1 leap of faith away from getting rich, but the stress got to me and I missed the opportunity.

#22 Re: Main Forum » The Bounty Issue » 2014-04-14 18:19:14

I agree Cylence.  If someones house bounty grows by less then 2k a day (with any formula), it doesn't matter if they alt farm.

#23 Re: Main Forum » The Bounty Issue » 2014-04-14 17:20:51

The problem I see with these equations is someone could farm their own PB by robbing themselves on an alt and dropping that bounty back into their main house.  Would only be able to do it once per day, but still would greatly increase funds depending on how many people died overnight.

#24 Re: Main Forum » I quit, for serious this time! » 2014-04-13 20:50:38

$4,500.  3 dead.  red indicator lights against the wall above & below the entrance are dead give-away.

In anyone willing to share some of there starter house because I can never come up with any myself.

I change things up a lot so instead of sharing a design I'll just give you ideas.  Instant-death traps are perfect for starter homes.  You could have a house with 4 doors that all obviously kill you... except the correct ones.  you will get a few $100 suiciders this way, and if you are lucky they brought tools.  Wife/Dog pincer traps.  I've never used them, but if built correctly can catch a scout off guard.  Commit gate - Combo.  Clunky but if built right could be quite effective.  And then the magic dances.  cheap, effective, and good at scaring people away.  All my starter homes have some sort of multiple choice/commit that requires more then a water or a saw to get out of.

Also, keep over $200 in your house, and keep an eye on it.  I find it takes around 4k to make your house 2k Proof.

Got bored... This is silly and dumb but could work?
