The Castle Doctrine Forums

http://thecastledoctrine.net/forums/vie … hp?id=2823 this is the trap of mine I was talking about that the 'trick' to yours remind me of.

When I die, these days, I get a very short heartsinking feeling, then a short "heh, that was dumb" thought along with a chuckle and then I've moved on.

I'm trying to build a specific house but I keep dying in selftest! I am up to the point I was before dying last time now and I just survived selftest! Woo!

No, there are many of us who feel inferior in the company we keep here.

If anyone's doing santa runs my recently restarted house could use some money for another trap.
1700 value. I'd be ever so grateful.

I was just in there. Seemed like too much of a trap and the 500 in the vault didn't seem worth bringing two meats to calm down those dogs.

You bring up some good points, tiger, I think part of my bile stems from the fact that it has taken me a few days to get a proper starting robbery this time around, so I -finally- had a house up worth its salt. I expected a few notool people dying so I could put in some concrete walls before letting my value rise high enough that people with more tools than sense would show up. It's already hard enough getting a house started, behavior like this does not help.
I am honestly more upset about this than I would be if I had lost a long-running house to selftest or my own death while robbing, because it's just senseless destruction for the sake of destruction. If I rob houses under 2k with my 2k tools, I suicide at the vault. Instead of ruining someones house, I show them weaknesses and then give them abit of money to be able to patch it up. I don't spend 2000 dollars of tools to get 199 (that was what the second robber got) out of a house.

Yes we really do need more players. The game is great as it is, but it could be so much better. That being said, a lot of what you are experiencing as a frustrated new player, was also frustrating for new players when this game had a larger player base. Stick with it, you seem like a swell dude and this is a really nice community. If you have any questions, read some of the faqs, or Cylences excellent guides that he already linked to, or even if you don't want to do that, just post about it and some of us 'veterans' are going to help you out, because that's just how people on this forum are. Stick with it, once you get over the steep learning curve, this game is so awesome.

Did you put any dogs in dangerous places? Or mostly where they already where/behind dead animals?

6k upgrade and test a la self completed! Woot!

He's trying to persuade Jason to put the game on sale despite having publically said, before release, that he would never. I'm not against a sale, but it will not happen.
He goes on to remark that he makes a lot of money himself and his wife buys lots of things on sale.
