He took down most of the top houses. I finished Ronald John Smith with something around $46k. After that all of the houses left (other than 3 of us) had less than $30k.

Re: someone saw the cat

The plan right now is to rob Mitchell, then use that money to rob Vasquez and Scott. So watch out...

Edit: Plan's changed. Hopefully I won't have to worry about Scott ever again.

Edit 2: To explain that tape to a probably very confused Vasquez, I completely forgot I had brought more than one ladder, or any explosives, because I had initially planned on bringing no explosives and just 1 ladder. So that's why I went around wrecking things for no reason: I though I was trapped and wanted to get rid of tools so you wouldn't get them. When I looked and saw that I had a ladder, I was very, very glad.
By the way, guessing your dance/combo thing was pure, crazy luck, but I also knew that it was only a 3 bit lock, then assumed you didn't go for the 1,3 combo, and assumed that the dance was hooked up to the lock in the way it actually turned out to be. By that logic, my odds weren't actually too low, and anyways, I had enough explosives to bypass it anyways (even though I forgot I had them at the time tongue).

I hoped it was you, because otherwise I would be really confused how the robber knew where to go smile You had enough tools to break it! (how is that possible? big_smile ) Congrats!

Well, you didn't change anything, to my knowledge, other than adding a sticky switch at the end of the cat path. And those tools were courtesy of Mr. Vasquez.

My internet is so slow, that I can barely watch Twitch streams at low quality, let along stream my own. I am considering starting a TCD-oriented YouTube channel though, but I'm not sure if I have enough content for it.

I didn't think you would try that path again as first time you robbed me, you said that you thought I changed my vault location and that's why you went the other way. I didn't think you would go up third time in a row (and I was almost sure you will not go for the exact same spot again). I was wrong.

Well, that first time I assumed that, as you had been legitimately robbed, you would move your vault location. Last time I robbed you, you claimed that I had just found an error in your trap (which I did do). I knew that all you would do would fix the error, assuming that your trap, now fixed, could hold me off. You didn't count on an incredibly lucrative string of chain robberies to give me 23 crowbars. wink

Lmao I was Vasquez.  I worried it would be THAT easy, but I suppose you did come fairly well tooled.  I cannot believe you guessed the lock/dance! bravo bravo Fejardo.

Actually, after my robberies, I did something very dumb. I wanted to go get a snack, but on the way, I decided to pet one of my cats for a bit. When I had finally gotten my snack and returned, I had idled out of my house. Shoenfeld took at least $70k from my empty house. tongue

Re: someone saw the cat

mala, did you break the previous correct path? Because I just died from trying the same solution...

Also, I just died like a dumb idiot in Cutler's place. Walking directly onto an activated electric floor was not a wise (nor intentional) choice, and Cutler now has about $20k more in tools. tongue It seems like my hijinks have become the TCD wildcard, giving random people gifts of lots of money, tools, or paintings.

here's a post from another thread

mala wrote:

i've adopted a funny way to deal with chain robbers and every other robbers as far as i can tell.

My house project is made so that in some areas i can swap the power flow direction, thus house solution, by just moving a couple of wires/walls.
Each day i trow a couple of dice to randomly decide the "state" of those areas (north/south, east/west, on/off, etc.) so that you cannot trust the solution you've found so far.

big_smile big_smile big_smile big_smile

and by the way... i've just made it a little bit more interesting
as you can see C.W. Shoenfeld is gone, and now i'm topping the list with over 100K big_smile

edit. lol while i was writing this post, i've had 7 attempt on my house and 4 death, everything in less than 5mn big_smile

That's why there was that kind of money inside... 

actually i've spent too much money to rob him, i could have done it with a lot less, had i took a crawbar on the second run i would have made it, but i had to return thus wasting almost 10k more.
It was an 8 step clock with TONS of electric floor, once powered up, all i needed was water.

Yeah... I "liberated" his paintings and "donated" his tools to Cutler. May I request that somebody take Cutler down ASAP?

Re: someone saw the cat

I have the strangest worry right now, as my current plan is to rob mala and use the 100k or so to build my new house...
Because I'll probably actually solve his house (I feel like I'm sooooo close), it won't be hard for him to get more money from bounties in his still-funtional house and return with a vengeance.

as far as i can tell you've mapped the top half of my house, unless you're disconnect scouting me you didn't get past the cat, so you've still got some work to do.
Beside i'm gonna keep messing with the wiring in order to mess with you big_smile
