lol Ham, I actually did find your house and tried to rob you after I died in Mr Conley's place. Your house is scary, in 24 hours I don't think I'll be coming back. I know your name now though
Yeah I use that nifty commit so I don't get anyone who isn't REALLY set on getting me to try and rob me. No scouting for you!
#352 Re: Main Forum » Opinion on Paintings? » 2014-03-10 22:41:50
You're Mr. Conley, Lord0fHam? The checkerboard used to be mine before one my many stupid deaths. I've got a claim on it because I had acquired it through fair and honest thievery.
Nope i'm not Mr. Conley. I just want my Momento Mori back.

PS: Are those 5 paintings between Today and Haze in the auction house that look like they are corrupted files supposed to look like corrupted files or are they genuine corrupted files?
I think they are supposed to be like that.

Aw man! How did you die?
#356 Re: Main Forum » Opinion on Paintings? » 2014-03-10 21:26:52
Thats cool ventus. I've got my eye on Mr. Conley. He's got "Momento Mori". It's my favorite painting and I actually had it but then I stupidly died and he bought it.
#357 Re: Main Forum » Opinion on Paintings? » 2014-03-10 20:57:05
I like paintings. They are a good endgame, because otherwise there is nothing to spend your money on when you have fully upgraded your house. What painting did you buy? I just recently bought my first painting for my current house. I got "A Snail In The Sun", one of the best in my opinion.

Leveller I loved your house. I would just go in there and push all the buttons for fun. What are those cats for???
#359 Re: Main Forum » I want to rob you and destroy your dreams or make you a little richer? » 2014-03-09 22:39:47
Yep thats you. you interrupted my solid stream of deaths by leaving 
#360 Re: Main Forum » Vindictive robbers » 2014-03-09 22:38:45
1. screw the wife. i hope she dies fast so i lose less money when she inevitably does.
2. the magic dance is there to stop a robber who happens to get past the clock part. Also i use a powered pit.
3. i don't even know how they work. i just use a template i found.
4. i didn't say everyone had to use a clock house. my point was simply that is is very possible to make a house immune to 2k robbers.
#361 Re: Main Forum » Vindictive robbers » 2014-03-09 22:26:23
Oops, I got so wrapped up there that I forgot to address your second point. I don't believe there is a starter house that can protect your wife and vault against someone with 2K of tools, and still have between $300 and $800 left over to lure non-griefing robbers in. Show me one on CastleDraft if you'd like to disprove this statement. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.
I'm not going to share my design cause i still use it, but lets just say it uses a clock and a magic dance. I only protect the vault though. But a 2k robber has NEVER robbed me, because of the timer. It kills them before they can use their tools.
#362 Re: Main Forum » Lester John Mahan » 2014-03-09 22:22:10
He just got robbed but didn't give up. I saw him get robbed on Twitch, and his house is still the same, but changed slightly obviously.
#363 Re: Main Forum » I want to rob you and destroy your dreams or make you a little richer? » 2014-03-09 18:32:58
Cheese are you doing an actual house right now? Because if you just came into my house and then left about 40 mins ago when you said you were scared of taking the first step, i can tell you your name if you want. that was a very long run on sentence 
#364 Re: Main Forum » I have fallen victim to my own house. Here it is ! » 2014-03-09 18:07:54
Obviously this is just my opinion, but I don't even worry about the family. I just stick them right at the front so they die as fast as possible and i lose as little money as possible from the wife death. It allows me to build much better traps.
#365 Re: Main Forum » Vindictive robbers » 2014-03-09 18:05:30
Go out and rob and get some more money before building a starting house. Or build a more secure starting house.
#366 Re: Main Forum » I want to rob you and destroy your dreams or make you a little richer? » 2014-03-09 17:42:14
If anyone wants to try out my house, and report my name, it would be awesome. I'm at about 6k and have the "A Snail In The Sun" painting.
#367 Re: Main Forum » I have fallen victim to my own house. Here it is ! » 2014-03-09 15:51:12
What I did was I built a started house that's really effective. I'm not going to share cause I don't want anyone knowing it. Then, while it's going, I planned on Castle Draft an entirely new and awesome house. Then when i got enough money, i just removed my starter house and built a whole new one, all at once.
#368 Re: Main Forum » I have fallen victim to my own house. Here it is ! » 2014-03-09 14:30:50
Just so you know leveller, your house was pretty brute force-able. It only takes 1 gun, 1 wirecutter, 4 waters, 1 explosive, 1 cutting torch(or 3 waters, 2 explosives and no cutting torches), and 2 saws to get to the vault.
#369 Re: Main Forum » A good idea than someone should add to the game. » 2014-03-09 10:45:07
I think this is a great idea and would love to see it implemented.
#370 Re: Main Forum » [Suggestion] Painting Roster » 2014-03-08 23:32:26
That -is- actually a cool idea. Paintings add a lot to the game, and can allow you to create a goal or feeling of purpose to drive yourself onward when you've been holed up in your house for a few days and it's getting old. It would be cool if there were some way to gather some kind of information about the paintings, as long as it was a little bit watered down, similar to Dustman's idea. I think isolation and anonymity are important aspects of the game's theme- they are also very delicate and easy to destroy with addition or tweaking of features like this. I would support an idea like painting info, or the "neighborhood view" idea for example, as long as they don't give too much personal information and cause people to be aggressively targeted with too much ease.
After reading this, I would agree with what you guys have said. Straight up names would not be good, but some indicator WOULD be good, so that you don't have to search every single house. This would bring more attention to the people with paintings, but not at one specific person, just because they have the "best" painting(if that's a thing).

I suggest a tab on the auction house page that shows the name of everyone who owns a painting and which painting(s) they own. It is really annoying to search for a painting if you want to steal it, especially if the house is in use and you actually CAN'T find it. I don't think this would really impact actual gameplay at all, and wouldn't be very hard to implement. What do you guys think?
#372 Re: Main Forum » Slow servers » 2014-03-08 21:49:19
I believe that most of the increase traffic may be from bots that are searching for 0/0 houses. I been tracking certain players that immediately try to rob your house after you update date it and I have noticed a pattern. I noticed this with James Henry Calvin on 3/1/2014. I used an empty house with a vault in a corner and he would scout it out as if he did not know where it was. I took a screen shot of his many attempts and steps taken. Anyone know how to post a screen shot here?
That was probably just me. Go to his house(if he still lives) and post a pic of his entrance. I'll tell you if it's me.

Blackswimmer wrote:Really, I do. My house was smashed, I had no money to repair it, so I did one last attempt to rob someone without tools... and made off with $600. Not much, but enough to fix my house and get me back in the game. Honestly, that was the most intense robbery I've ever done, and the most satisfying when it came off. Made all the time I've spent worthwhile.
Yeah, those last ditch robberies that have everything on the line are always amazing, especially if you're successful in them
I did that. A no tools robbery and i got 36K. no joke.

I enjoyed watching that - and I'm not even finished.
Just go to his past broadcasts and you have hours of video to watch of him taking down the top people.

Iceman, your signature tells the story of my last real death. I went into a house and saw a wife worth 4k that was EASILY killable with a gun. So I came back with a gun, and went up to shoot her. I was in range, but i thought "Maybe i'll just move one space closer to make SURE i'm in range…" then she shot me with her shot gun.
