William Brian Lowery...

... has developed a hard-on for my wife.

I can't see his house in the list though.  How can this be so? It's been way over the initial five minutes for his place to appear if he's new, and from the amount he's spunked on tools trying to break my house I can tell he must have more than the $2k starting allowance.

Re: William Brian Lowery...

If somebody's in his house, either himself or somebody robbing him, then it won't appear in the neighborhood.

Re: William Brian Lowery...

I've refreshed the list (with filter on his name) numerous times since he showed up.  It's as if he's only ever out of his house when he's in mine, if that's the case...

Re: William Brian Lowery...

Can it be that either of you are on some kind of chills?

Yeah, that could be it also.  If robbed his previous life, he might have died and chain-robbed enough money to start a new house.  Now, he's trying to get revenge, even as you can't see him.... a bloodthirsty ghost, bent on exacting justice...

Re: William Brian Lowery...

I haven't hit any big heists, so no enemies on that front - however, this morning I put up a $2k new build.  First guy through the door checks out my entrance, comes back 30 seconds later with a piece of meat, makes some dumb choices and drops a bounty of over $6000. I guessed it might have been someone trying to transfer money to an alt account, and so I stayed in build mode for over an hour (not even daring to watch the tape!) to stop the alt coming back, and to use most of that bounty money to massively improve the house.  So if there's anyone in the world with a vendetta, it's the alt account (if there is one) of that $6k bounty dump.  He wants his money back!

Strangely, Lowery is still showing up time and time again even as I type, yet his house is just not in the list.  At all. Not with chills, not without... odd...

Re: William Brian Lowery...

It's probably reverse chills, a.k.a. force-ignore. If you successfully rob somebody, then they die, you can't see their house at all until 24 hours after the successful robbery took place. It's designed to prevent farming an alt by just robbing your own 2k houses over and over again, but can cause some strange behavior like what you're seeing here.

Re: William Brian Lowery...

Ah, that must be it then.  Well I've only done a few easy ones, though I did splat somebody's wife earlier today, too.  Mind telling me what he's worth, just so I have some idea of whether to expect him to turn up with 50 guns while I'm asleep tonight?!
