A Question About The Contest

* When the contest ends, does it count if we are in the house at that time? As far as I know, if you are in your house, you cannot be seen on the list.

And another question about the game in general: I see the game uses nicknames. I cannot see my name in the list, or anywhere else. Is there a way to know who I am?

Yes. I would also like to know if activating turtle mode disqualifies us.

Yeah, don't camp in your house during the last hour!

I'm keeping a watch on the list of houses, and so far, no one seems to be doing that.

Oh... wait, the top house hasn't had any robbers in it since yesterday.

I'll be actively kicking people out of their houses who are doing that.

Hmmm. I dunno. Every time I look I'm missing Gurrola, Epps, Combs, Thomas. Had completely forgotten about Perez but he just popped up for the first time in a while.

That last hour is going to be truly terrifying.

[I also just thought of another user for secondary accounts....]

Re: A Question About The Contest

Whats the value of items in the vault? Is it the same as their sell value or greater if left in the vault?

I believe it's their sell value. I do a quick "Sell All" and then "Undo" to check my total house value.

Re: A Question About The Contest

You can just hover over the 'Sell All' button to get the price in a tooltip, by the way.

Police are faster now (4 minutes).

And you have to wait 5 minutes between visits to your house (it will look like someone is in there if you try to go back before that).

One more question: What if a house is being robbed right at the moment when contest ends? It will not be on the list, so... I just wondered what happens to that.

Sorry, Kiran... I just fixed that.

After dying, you can go right back into your house now without waiting 5 min.

Does that mean I only have 4 minutes to rob someone's house?
