So, in my house it's pretty easy to get trapped in a room with a pitbull that you can outrun forever. This leads to some pretty hilarious move counts on some security tapes that result in bounties:

LOOOOL!!!

This is awesome. I got the idea while working on my senseless value destruction robbery vid that it would be funny to put some robbery situations to Yakety Sax, using the "Yakety Sax makes everything funny" logic. I decided on some different artistic themes in the end, but you (Absynthe) proved my theory in practice.

AWESOME gif.

Bloody commitment gates, how do they work?

It's ridiculous the number of 2k suicide robbers who have no clue how a doggy death commitment gate works and drug the dog immediately, screwing themselves royally. I'd honestly say only about half of the robbers make it past that first trapdoor.

I think that was me. . I remember all the cats and I often buy 3-4 saws. . .

Ha ha, next time just keep walking right, the dog will turn the trapdoor on as you step onto it and then fry itself. This allows you to get past, but you need a ladder to come back. It makes for a much more effective commitment gate than a powered door or several electric floors

I actually died to the first one of those I found with a chihuahua at my heels because I expected it to operate on some kind of glitchy counter-intuitive mechanic.

Oh.. I wish I kept one. Some guy solved my entire house and then drugged a dog off of my safe (my last possible defense). He walked adjacent to the safe and then instead of tapping the direction of it, he tapped the direction of the dog- kill himself and giving me $600.

Unnnnlucky.

Obviously an experienced robber.
Came back after three scout runs with about 4000$ in tools.
Tried to get through my doggone family protection sphere.
After the video stops (for reasons of privacy), he explores for a bit to reach my actual vault, wastes his remaining tools, finally shoots the dog next to the shotgun only to still find his way blocked.
My House value was about 6000$.

His is now at about 4000$.

(Yeah, I am VERY protective of my family. My vault is reachable with tools and luck and experience, but I will gladly burn all excess cash I have to put more dogs and walls and pits between any robber and my wife'n'kids)

edit:spelling

edit 2: aaaaand the next guy came and wasted lots of tools in multiple runs, now sits at 2400$.
What makes my house so darn attractive?

The fact that you have a large open space at the beginning is very appealing; it gives robbers a sense of security. Many more people are, for example, willing to walk down a two-wide corridor than a one-wide one, and this is just another example of that effect. The robber feels that they have options on how they move in that area, and thus they feel more secure to go further in robbing a house with a large open area.

Yes, I'd agree with that. Especially if the open area looks jagged or randomly placed and the walls are wooden. They assume you are n00bish. I usually build houses which are extremely claustrophobic, just long 1-wide tunnels everywhere. I know this is a turn-off, so I have to make my foyers look n00bish by putting up wood wall facades & rigging up electronic contraptions that are deliberately wired the wrong way. This helps the people not feel threatened, so they wander inward, but as they do so the tunneliness of the place is supposed to be wearing down their nerves. So I hear, these types of communications do tend to hit home.

Yeah, I get that, that's why I designed my house like that in the first place. The thing is, both these guys had multiple scouting tours and saw my wall-of-dog(tm)* death trap that hinges on exploiting that open room. I have tons of tapes of people who go up, see scary wiring, then go check out the dead end to the right and suddenly find themselves with no way to the exit.
I thought both these guys should have figured out that I am not a total newbie and know about things like field-of-view exploitation and such and accordingly should have thought that spending huge amounts of tools trying to rob my 6000$ house isn't worth it, especially since my wife might still be alive.

Well, their loss. Also the first guy called attention to some security risks so I'm not even mad, rather grateful.

*actually more or less copied from the 0$ house that I scouted out of pure curiosity, killing me fatally and ruining my perfect super-thought-out awesome deadly house**. At least my wife had enough dogs to protect her and/or to eat once her personal savings are used up

**maaan, that house had the MOST AMAZING tapes***. such a shame that I lost them all.

***I play this game mostly for the security tapes

+1

I like to put a few layers of 'fun' near the welcome mat, starting solvable and then adding higher and higher improbability of (toolless) required guesses as one goes deeper.

Wait... What...?

Why he did this anyone can explain?

Thanks man. Sadly, my family will once again have to enjoy the rich taste of dog-meat until they starve (or my widow gets a job (I died))

I think I need a break from this game.

Vegeta9001 · 2014-03-01 19:57:36

I got another one than made me laugh I was like oh wow 600 bounty and a decent set of tools to steal my low money house this guy must not be a noob and then...

What with all these suicidal people? Why he didn't uses his dog food?

TyrannosaurusHax · 2014-03-01 20:03:41

People get careless. I've seen this sort of thing kill a lot of people: http://castledraft.com/editor/6ljDHT

I never had a painting and I'm fairly sure I wasn't worth more than 7000$, certainly not even close to the top. Hm.

Anyway, I couldn't resist starting a new house (having a short break before semester starts again), so I built a new house.
I got my funds from someone who had 7000$ in cash, but didn't invest in more than one power source or more than paper-thin wooden walls.
Already got some good ones.

I didn't want to post this because my house was still live. But I killed myself in a self test T.T....

However, this definitely gets award for most pointless use of saws:

You can always find surprise in the walls and they're not always good ones.
