nice job man, i've tried numerous time to solve that damn dance, i created a copy of it and solved the whole lower section (i've shifted pets with walls to make it easy to understand), but i've never had a chance to look properly the northern wiring.

the upper dog kept opening the door every time and i've never got a grasp on it's mechanic.

@joshwithguitar will you release the map now?

@cullman, you have to fix the registration, the forum has now 7,200 post, and it's all spam

can't wait for the site to be online.

Have you decided about the ability to rotate voltage triggers?

First design of the new house is ready...

Due to the binary clock and alternating trap door/electric floor, you cannot use tools unless from the doormat.  However, if you use a tool at the doormat, my security system will detect it and initiate lockdown!  This does kind of steal an idea from JWG's map and then I incorporate some more clever electronics into it to detect if the player has used a ladder on the first move. 

Did Jason have this in mind when he created the game?

probably not, but it's obviously a good solution against well funded robbers.

nice design, i'm inside right now, and i wonder... how do you detect the usage of the first ladder?

Thanks smile. I set up that trap a while ago after someone came in with a load of tools and made the same assumptions you just did. I'm glad to see it has finally paid off. Though the aim was to catch someone with $50k of tool and a high bounty tongue.

i remember doing that before, and i've reached the pit safely, so... maybe you did it because of me in the first place big_smile

Was it Younts that you robber? He was climbing the ranks but has vanished, I was interested to see how far it would get with it being his first proper house smile

yes, i reached the vault on my 2nd run, his wife was alive when i've left the place.

i'm so pissed off that i've wasted the money without getting any info

seems like i've almost solved the circuit, i can now safely reach the chihuahua.

now to solve it completely i have to understand how the upper part does work

#35 Re: Main Forum » Henson Robbed!!! » 2015-08-02 20:02:46

doesn't matters if there's just 2-3 players playing... this game will always keep amazing me...

kudos @Jason for designing the most intelligent and challenging game i've ever played in my life (and god knows i've played lots of games big_smile )

nice job man, very nice job. i thought that would have last forever without proper founds

great design with the clock, you've managed to keep it compact and functional. The only problem as you've pointed out is the fact that a single suicide run is needed in order to known the exact vault location, and that means a lot in this game.

now i demand Hanson design. Is JWG willing to share it, since it has been mapped out? i've got the whole front + lower circuit, and i'm curious about the rest

Really nice place mala. I always feel a little unimaginative when I see others peopkes maps, as mine are pretty simplistic and normally stolen lol.

thanks, i have the same problem when looking at the blank room.

the great thing about sharing design is that you can always thinker them into something new.
lots of my traps are reinterpretation of older schemes.

right now i'm completely out of ideas, i'd like to build the next house around a single concept, like i did for the luna park, but in the end i cannot find a right balance among: funny puzzle - hard to bruteforce - misleading design.

as JWG proved one more time, there's nothing you can do against a careful and wealthy robber. He had the equipment and the patience to break into every possible location without committing himself or taking unnecessary risks.

You know, I was thinking about following the first cat from the start.

To think of all the money I could have saved if I'd just done that...

it wasn't there in the first place, since you were all scouting north, i moved the vault south (after the last dog/pit).

since you had mapped the northern path i moved it to the cat location.

expecting you to check the cat after that, i was ready to move the vault north east, replacing the panic button in the little cat cage, i thought it was stupid enough to maybe trick you one more time, but you've been faster.

waiting for your design to be released big_smile

funny fact you all went north, i thought you'd have started from the lower section (since for the first part is copypasted from my previous house), but just 3 out of 100 robbers tried it.

I wonder what's encouraging people to go straight up without even thinking about it.

Haha.  I knew that if I did that enough times it would kill the dog and block the cat.  I honestly thought I was going to score the vault, so it looks like you won in the end!

big_smile when i saw the number i had no idea how you didn't get to the vault.

funny fact you've actually killed the dog on the 3rd attempt, i've turned visibility on, just to check that big_smile
