13 now.  It's been fluctuating like this the past week.

Your best bet is to send a message to Jason Rohrer and I'm sure he will sort it for you.

All I've robbed lately is a couple of 4k houses.  I think Wildman could be Eppfel's second.  The start is very similar (but a little different) to Smith's.  I'm making progress with Manning (as long as he doesn't change his start).  Manning has/had an alt too - the later part of Manning's house is very similar to another house, but I can't remember the name and can't see them now.  Riley looks crackable to me...  I'll have another go at his house now

Edit: Just cracked Riley tool-less.  I'm in two minds about taking the safe or not (stood right in front of it now).  The house was too easy and I think the last trap isn't working right.
Unless that was intentional...  I'm going to leave it for now.  If the owner doesn't change it, I'll take it next time.

Eppfel is Smith.  Who were you, Thoth? I saw one house (McBride) that had been robbed.  I donated tools and my $100 bounty to help out.

I just delivered a gun and cutting torch to every house.  My second drop today.

@Passive, I agree there.  However, it's not impossible to start from 2k.  It's just not as easy as it used to be.

I found my old map and after a scout yesterday to get started, I can now reach about as far as I did before (well, not quite as far, but close to it).

I know what I have to do to go further, but it could take a while to find the right moves...

It's odd, with all those pits I died in a pitless room!  All 4 corridors can be solved without tools.  It cost me just $2 each time to change the solution.  I won't post how here, as I think I might use them all again! (bottom left, that is).

If you look at your map, the magic dance should be slightly different (the bottom switch).

I will resurrect this house now and keep going with it.  I'll have to think of a few more puzzles to add and I have a few ideas.  No one has solved 'The Gate' without tools yet - the dog filled room.

So this is the map I had for Rodriguez:

My favourite part was the upper right section (not the corner, but in a little, where I've put a yellow D on the map).  I won't reveal the trick to cross the powered pit (next to the ladder) but it was damn satisfying to work it out!  The thing I liked most about this house was that at every step you took, you had to think!

It feels painful - I was logged on as you were headed to the safe.  I knew it had to be an experienced robber as you realised the final 'trick' and weren't put off by my decoy.  A nice video to watch that I'll have to think hard about to counter.  I'll also have to incorporate the dead dogs into the design!

By the way, your new name is Herbert John Kinzer.  It took you 710 steps.

Pps, do you like the little midway break I added?  So robbers who have successfully completed the entrance can congratulate themselves with an escape route.

It's great to finally se the house in full!  I'll post what I had of your house when I get home.  My map has some old parts that I never updated and is an amalgamation over time.  You'll see what I mean from the entrance I have!
