I am all for fun with electronics and code locks and whatnot, but clocks are killing the game for me. I still have not gotten over the middleclass hump, but that is not what is bothering me. The last few days, I've encountered so many clocks that I think I have only had 2 successfull robberies. I know you're gonna say: "Well Cheese, old buddy, old chap, you can build a clock for around 700$ and cash in yourself as well?" but... I don't want to. I don't want to HAVE to build my house a certain way for it to be worthwhile. With a 5k starting bank roll I can build a house that I like and several different trap options are open to me, but with how people have gotten better at building houses and among that a lot of clocks, I can't even reach that 5k starting bank.

I just had the, I am guessing not completely uncommon, experience of my wife being shot and the robber who shot her dying in the same robbery. I still only got 100 dollars. How about adding the 'kill bounty' immediately? Let's say a mass murderer kills your family but succumbs to your devious deathtraps, does this not warrant the 3k bonus there would have been on the guys head had he walked out and died in another home?

I just wanted to share with you all, my neighbours and potential robbers:
Since playing from around a week before the steam launch, I now finally have a house that I think will last to the upper game. There is still room for expansion, and it is already pretty solid. I've loved this game since day one, but only today have I gotten over the 'hump' that has been hassling me. Thank you, everyone who's died to my wily traps so far.

PS: The one thing that has gotten the most kills in my house so far, is a pitbull with no commitgate before it, that people can just turn around from and leave the house, but instead decide to walk right into it. Thank you, Rollo, my favorite dog.
