Much abliged, Leveller. Do try and crack it if you can though, I want to see if there are any weaknesses I am not thinking of against a 2k start.

Thank you!

On review that would obviously not work. Would this? http://castledraft.com/editor/0bIixe

Aw okay. Could you at least check out my name for me then? Entrance and value stated in edit above!

http://castledraft.com/editor/gNF5op does this work? Am I doing anything that doesn't need to be done or am I missing something?

Yeah I've gone away from this design for all the reasons you guys state here, but I knew my house was subpar, I was basically just testing out the viability of a clock in a starter house, and why this might not have been the best use of a clock in a starter house, the clock itself is cheap enough that you can use it for something worthwhile.
But my point of this post was not to have design criticism (though some of it I had not thought of, specifically the thicker walls thing, I thought deadlier traps were more important, but you make a good point JoT, so thanks for that) but rather I am getting sick of people spending their 2k starting money on tools and then wrecking my 300-700 worth house!

Okay thanks both of you. Here's the map. Like I said, I am aware of the weaknesses, it's supposed to lure in someone -without- tools, the whole reason behind my complaining that someone brings their 2k to it.

How do I take a picture of the whole map like people do? And it's not a very effective house, I am aware of that, but it was made for people with no tools, as I have time to sit at the computer and update it as I earn money so it was going to BECOME tool safe.

I am having HUGE trouble getting a starter house up at the moment and as such I am not going to share any designs, as it's already tough enough without people knowing the intricates of my buildings. I thought I had a good house up last night that played on the psychology of people approaching traps more than anything, but after getting a few good bounties overnight, someone simply bruteforced it.

On the sleep-thing: Your sleep cycle is almost entirely dependent on habit. If you teach your body that it's gonna get 5 hours because that's when your alarm rings, it'll be rough for a week or two, maybe more depending on how 'addicted' you are to your current sleep cycle, but then your body will learn to go into REM faster, which is the part of sleep you really need. If you are past your growing years, you don't need an actual 8 hours of sleep, you just need your body to learn that it can go directly to REM when you do go to sleep.

If you do a powered pit with a combo lock for your vault you don't really have money left over to protect the family very well. But yeah, the game has gotten harder. It has made me more stubborn. Not that that seems to be helping me out XD
