Oh, and just because you said that, Cylence, I am going to visit EVERY dog I know of >:D
(Well, not counting the ones you can't see from the entrance, since I can't afford *that*!)

EDIT: Never mind, maybe later- completely forgot to use the gun I brought on the first dog!

EDIT2: Aaaaaand now I feel like even more of an idiot! Guess I'll stay at 1 hallway scouted for now....

Haven't seen you in there lately. You taking a break from visiting Geyer's? I can tell between you and Puma because the way each of you handle the dogs is different.



Also, GotABigTrap, walter-white, and MrTeaKettle,
I purchased "Ass Over Tea Kettle" in the hopes you would come visit. smile

So... does that mean that all the cat paths at the end are ruled out? And possibly also that other side-path before the three-way dog commit gate?

I think I may be the only person to know of the last possible vault location. wink

No, I've just been dying really, really stupidly.  This last life was me checking somewhere again, since I thought all of the cat paths were ruled out (no tools).

Re: To the visitors of Stephen Thomas Geyer [spoiler alert p3]

No i was referring to a cat path i considered a dead end. The other side path before the 3 way commit is a doggie dead end.

Ok, I thought you had checked all of the cat paths, and I had checked what I thought was the only other option.  There's still one more option, though, that I just figured out how to do tool-less, so I'll try that tomorrow.  I figured racing you with the cat paths was a failing strategy, so I'm taking a different approach.

GotABigTrap, thanks for visiting smile


Blip, yes you do smile. Iceman and puma have been at it for awhile using 2k runs (although puma had some beefier ones). I'd like to see if they can figure it out. If the house value is too tempting for ya, I can always burn money off (just let me know).


Puma, I actually gave you a hint that Iceman picked up on.


Iceman, I'm wondering what your different approach is.

Re: To the visitors of Stephen Thomas Geyer [spoiler alert p3]

I know there is something with a dog i just can't figure out which one. I am about ready to burn this house to the ground.

edit: you'll also only be seeing 1 visit from me per day isntead of the usual 2 as I took down sparrow last night. So i have a new house design going that im quite excited about.

Nope, still a pit there sad
I was just checking the top 2 possible vault locations- I was thinking the one going right instead of down was impossible without tools, but then I remembered there'd be a dead cat in that pit, so the pathing would work out.  No luck, though.

Wait- come to think of it, there *is* a third possible vault location that I haven't checked since you updated... hmmm... I don't think it's going to be there, so I'm going to try somewhere I've given up on next....

Also- hint?  What hint? XD

Also, this house is getting scarily high on money, I'm tempted to just do a redesign with the cash, just so I can burn the cash.

Re: To the visitors of Stephen Thomas Geyer [spoiler alert p3]

Within the past few days, I've seen two people with $200 bounties.

There must be some old players coming back with really old chars to die at my place.
John Terrance Marshall $200
Richard Max Kirkpatrick $200
Any of you guys on the forum?

Yeah you were the one who panic ran to the south location. I remember. big_smile


Anyway, seems like Puma after weeks of using an alt scout, decided to come in with his main with a brute force kit. I was hopin he'd be able to get to it without tools (or at least a 2k set). He did have about 95% of the map, and I'm pretty sure he's spent over $100k over the lifetime of scouting. In the last week, he brought crowbars almost everyday.

Unfortunately he also decided to take out Geyer's wife. He probably should have left her alone since, it wasn't for profit, and the karma may have hit him during a self test (I don't see Harmon around).

Re: To the visitors of Stephen Thomas Geyer [spoiler alert p3]

Here's the full map. Vault locations in yellow.

This is a much older design than Jensen's and I feel there's plenty of weaknesses. It's basically divided into 3 large sections. The last part was the centerpiece: a multiple choice cat fest with really only 2 places that you can actually reach. The lower left vault location was added much later to make it easier to self test (friend's request), and is a very elusive and non obvious location.

Re: To the visitors of Stephen Thomas Geyer [spoiler alert p3]

please help me understand the bottom left safe location how do you get that to open? with no tools, i spent a lot of time in that room grid and dogs.

Btw the cat that controls the grid i thought would be way more elaborate. defiantly one of the most well designed houses i have ever seen.
