Soo, been going better and better. Now i'm getting nervous.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 17:10:24

So. I am now getting cash rolling in. I'm hovering about 1-3k steady and getting more and more nervous about robbers with tools trying for a easy fix.

Thing is im not THAT creative when it comes to electricity. So i rely pretty much on red herrings and dogtraps.

I've been using some leap of faith's and some fake ones. But i still can't stop worrying.

Today have been a great day for me with much income from dead robbers, i try to reset and upgrade, (first house i actually started using money on concrete) but i still worry about going to sleep tonight.. I'm probably gonna "spend me down on the list"

Any suggestions? I would love to post my map so far but.. eerrrhhhmm... That's not the smartest idea. Kinda moment 22.

Where do i go from here?

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-21 17:12:04

You think YOU are worried about robbers coming in to an easy fix??? My STARTER house is worth 28K and I'm still planning on castle draft for the upgrades. Right now I'm a sitting duck!

Leveller · 2014-02-21 17:15:53

Nah im not going to be tricked to enter your house mate.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 17:23:12

i see Faulkner just hit jackpot... Risen from 700 to 4500$ in 2 minutes.

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-21 17:25:42

I'm not tricking you. I don't even know my name.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 17:37:04

Gooby pliis. ;D Anyhow. I'm trying to get rid of my money as i keep getting more. As i don't really want to be a target yet untill i've figured out how to improve my house..

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-21 17:38:22

does your house take up the whole space?

protox13 · 2014-02-21 17:44:07

The best thing you can do is to upgrade your house or burn cash down (via paintings or ditched tools) to just over $2k (or less if you don't need an income). Unless you have a lot of paintings it's rare for robbers to intentionally lose money robbing a house. Don't worry if you die or have your vault cracked. It's just a matter of time and a question of how much you learn until them.

joshwithguitar · 2014-02-21 17:49:04

If your house is incomplete but you don't have time to upgrade buying more dogs is always a good way to go. More paintings can often attract unwanted attention and you may as well not waste the money by throwing away tools.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 18:04:10

LordOfHam: Not yet, got about a quarter to go.

Protox, yeah im upgrading walls as we speak. Income is no problem since ive found a neat way of finding 2000$ emtpies. So i can just plow down a little time to get more. And yes i worry if i die. This house isn't one of my greatest and i am just hoping no one will be good enough for it at the moment.

Josh. I don't really have room in my narrow hallways for more dogs, im not wasting money on paintings. Really wish i had someone to show it too and not get robbed. But a game of thievery attracts a certain kind of people..

Thanks for all your answers, they are really appreciated.

Haven't you heard about honor amongst thieves? I'm willing to swap house maps if you'll agree not to attempt anything that looks like mine (I'm about to make some major revisions but will retain key elements). Learned a new trick or two from LightS after I showed him my map: http://thecastledoctrine.net/forums/vie … hp?id=1012

Honestly, it gets deadly boring keeping a low profile- more exciting to see people come in and get close to your vault.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 18:20:35

Keeping low profile is good untill i get some good inspiration for awesome mean traps. Im around 5000$ atm. Waiting for one or two 2000$ fresh toolers to come by to see how they react.

Up to 7k, wife killed behind 2 glasswalls with 2 clubs and then a gun. *mumbles*

Try putting her behind a few pits next time.

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-21 19:21:36

Leveller, if you want to email me your map, I'd be willing to not rob it. I'm at 28k and I don't even need the money. tell me if you do though, because the email here is my junk email and i don't check it.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 19:22:44

Its ok. My Panicbuttonhappy kids is still alive. And the broken glass seem to lure in quite some people. 10k Worth of money now. If i had more time i would dump some Jpg's screens of lots of comitters. Each page is 8 people. I got atleast 5 per page atm.

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-21 19:24:42

OK well if you ever want to have some help, just ask.

Leveller · 2014-02-21 19:25:43

Top 3 pages.

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-21 19:27:44

you should have seen my old house before i died. I had at least 5 pages solid of people who died.
