New Consumeable Idea - Note

Allows you to leave a note on the ground somewhere.

If you are carrying it and you reach the vault, you can write a note to the owner. (like "nice design") You could have a directory of notes, with the record of their movements. (maybe make it account-wide?)

If you use it and place it, another thief could see it and read it later. Maybe make it cost 1000s+ to remove a note as the owner.

With notes, thieves could record which combinations didn't work for a combo lock(one example), and thus could work together to take down the "combo-lock fat-cats" top players.

Re: New Consumeable Idea - Note

Love it. Communication would make playing these things even more fun. Like if you solved a few digits of a combination and wanted to help others figure out the rest.

Also, I'd like to be able to send notes to particularly clever thieves. 
Once I set up this trap: http://castlefortify.com/?id=ce0ffd1
and then collected a bunch of cash till I was the leader of the board (my first time!)

Was very proud of my minimalist trap.  Until this one guy came in and gave me a lesson in bricks.
Extra credit if you can you guess how it was defeated.

If this makes it in then they should naturally fade after a while either way (maybe introduce a rating mechanic like in Dark Souls!). And instead of the owner removing them for money, he should be able to place his own notes for a fee to mislead people (Dark Souls again).

I don't actually understand how bricks work... wouldn't a brick just cause the trap to activate? or can they be thrown to kill dogs?

Yeah you can throw a brick to activate a trap, which -combined with a water bottle - is really useful for timed chihwawa electric floors.

Course I didn't know any of that till an intruder showed me.. and it would of been really cool to send them a note, or at least leave some kind of note incase they returned..

Re: New Consumeable Idea - Note

Would placing a wall to block it prevent a brick from being thrown? I'm just curious as it seems like a brick couldn't be thrown onto that plate.

Yeah a couple walls fixed the problem - any of those 3 nearby plates (http://castlefortify.com/?id=ce0ffd1) + a water bottle and trespassers could short out the grid and get by.

THere's a dog to the far right who deactivates the first trigger after some steps, leaving a small time window for successful entry.

Re: New Consumeable Idea - Note

I think that "Dark Souls"-style notes would be a nice addition, however that's a more complex system. But just an option to leave a note inside the vault would already be a nice start.
