No one called it cheating when I busted up in Ceridian city with a level 100 Mew. (Actually, one person did call this cheating... but no tears were shed for Misty on that day)

No one called it cheating when I whipped out all five pieces of Exodia.

No one calls it cheating when I shoot the moon.

No one called it cheating when I solved the shrine of the silver monkey.

(Kudos if you get all the references)

I think people with two accounts have advantages over people with one.  However, I could easily pony up and get another copy of the game.  Or, I could just ask my friend to club my wife for me, or to let me scout.  We bought the game together.  We watch each others security tapes, and robberies.  Technically, I'm as guilty as anyone else on that list because I see a map without my account actually being at risk.

(At least I think... I don't know if this instance counts as using the account..... or just having an account.... although I don't actually have it or use it because it's my friends, so I think I found the loophole in this argument)

If you're talking about the dog at the top, then no.  It'll hit the sticky toggle switch, which cuts power to the electrical floor.  The dog can then travel all the way to the bottom to cut off a robber trying to escape.

One possible advantage to the panic button: Depending on the construction of your house, if you use the panic button and your house is robbed then your house would become a one step death trap if your into that kind of thing.

The only issue with the panic button is that it holds the dog back.  If the robber wanted to escape, the panic button would keep the dog back so the robber could get one square away and club the dog.  $200 to escape that trap.

I tried.  I looked today and there were no paintings.... I certainly understand why you wouldn't be looking to rob people though.  That's a lot of paintings...

If it's ever robbed, I want to post for feedback.  Everytime I've reached this stage of the game, I've died to a self test

I use modules when starting new houses and I build the modules as I get the money to do so..  My current house has 3 modules to pass.  I got the 1 module maxed out, then added the second, then added the third.  As it happens, no one has ever got through the first module.  The first module took awhile to upgrade with concrete and other improvements.  But since it was built so well, I could wait and build my other two modules the way I wanted to without having to save more money.  Unfortunately, my house is above 10k, so people don't really rob me anymore.

Like a boss 42dustman!

Oh, sorry.  I guess I misunderstood the issue.  I thought you were talking about the fairness of being able to solve a trap or the frustration of getting caught in an impossible trap (unless you know the secret).  In that case, how much would the cost-to-escape have to be for the trap to be considered fair game in your opinion?

Even better might be an EMP or electronic flare?  The EMP could disable (for better or worse) all wiring within one step (North south east west) of the robber.  I like the idea of an electronic flare that, when used, will show all wiring on the screen for approximately 1-2 seconds.  Make it more expensive than wire cutters, maybe $500-600?
