The Castle Doctrine Forums

5/5 Stars! Luna Park was an amazing and fun place to go to! Lots of animals to play with, and lots of cool bits and bobs to mess with as well. The best part, though, was the carnival games; I won the grand prize of 45,000 dollars!

I sorta robbed nearly everybody in that 20-50K interval, and some of the people above that. The four left there either thwarted my robberies or just got lucky.
Also, I think that there have been more deaths lately; I've been noticing rich houses disappear and their paintings ending up at auction more than usual.

Aaaaaand I just came home to find that my key pressing macro script crashed and that I idled out of my house. This game seems to hate me; whenever I get a big score, I manage to lose it in an incredibly stupid way.

If you saw a well-tooled idiot walk into a drugged dog, that was me.

I just set up a house with a vault in sight and a clever electronics trap right upfront. The first person to rob me left a $3,700 bounty after walking directly into the trap. Sorry, guy, but you deserved it for trying to rob me tool-less.

Yeah, that was me. I like those magic dances you have there, they're really innovative. It's a shame that I never got to give your house a real, non brute-force try.

I'm just wondering, Cyclene, how you design your houses. Because it interests me how the traps you design are the polar opposite of my own. I build relatively linear houses with a few large, modular traps, each with its own set purpose, and that's how I've always built houses out of habit. You, on the other hand, build houses that are a crazy, massive set of small traps, all hooked together, with lots of different paths and dead ends. Do you design the whole thing in Castledraft beforehand and then build it, or do you just do the whole thing in build mode?

I haven't seen Jensen's name on the list in a little while, nor Parham's for that matter (which sucks, because Geyer, Parham, and Jensen were my top 3 targets).
Has a successful robbery taken place?

Don't become another David Michael Scott. I've robbed him four times and he just keeps on coming back.

Well, if Case's vault is still where it used to be, I should be able to grab his cash pretty cheaply. And I know I'll get all of it, as he has no wife; I killed her myself.

Of course, I have 2k right now, so I'll need to chain a bit to hit Case.

Edit: Case is down. Now to make a nice new house. I have some spiffy ideas to make a cool place.
Edit 2: Just locked myself in a room with no way out in my self test. Probably should have removed the door before testing my failsafe.

When will you guys realize that owning part of that set is a kiss of death? I have and will continue to pursue those paintings ruthlessly.

I don't know what it says about me that I did the same thing when I died: I chuckled as I saw my small collection of pixels dead before me. It wasn't horrifying, nor heart-wrenching, but funny. I've just been playing this game too long to really feel angry; it's just all part of the experience.

Maybe, with really good luck, I could, but I won't be trying. I've been really, really busy lately, and Mills wasn't due to a real concerted effort to take down top houses, but a lot of luck and a few hours of downtime. The only really good and unique trap in that house was the top-left one, anyways, and that only came about after two different revisions. I'll probably be back playing more seriously in about a month, if there are still other players by then. Anyways, for now, au revoir.
