Shoot the first dog, step on the dead dog, club the next, go to step 2

2 pistols and 39(if i count right) clubs are enough to kill your wife

Even less than that: you can brick the cat to save a gun.

After I'm tired and bored from a long and fruitless suicide robbing chain I sometimes accidentally walk straight into pitbulls because I start moving too quick through corridors, I think that's the same case with all the other burglars that do this mistake.

Wish you could die from being crushed in a powered door... that would be funny. So many cool trap ideas.

Conspiracy theory: Jaynes (the new top player) is Price. Price conveniently died in Jaynes house (I'm guessing) because there is so much money + paintings. Also, the house entrances look remarkably similar.

Crazier conspiracy theory: the forum user Immhotep is Jaynes/Price. He claims to have killed price. HOW CONVENIENT. Registered 3 days ago... about the start of Price's run. Sig is "Death is only the beginning..." and references a character who comes back from the dead to become super powerful.

Price knew he wouldn't last much longer as Price and had to take on a new identity to survive.

Ok, actually neither of these are probably true. But I'm having fun entertaining the thought.

1 guy supposedly dying isnt a conspiracy theory. Learn what it actually means before saying it.

Conspiracy theory - Immhotep is Noxalis is joshwithguitar.  JWG created Immhotep when he saw that everyone was working against Mr. Price in the crowdsourced map.  Immhotep was supposed to draw the attention off of Price by building Jaynes house, and when the time was right, Price would transfer all of the money to Jaynes.  This would hopefully make peace with the rest of Castle Doctrine - that's why he named his alternate account Immhotep.  Imhotep means "The one who comes in peace, is with peace".

At the same time, he realized that his strategy might not work.  Thus, he created a second alt account - noxalis.  "Actio noxalis" is a part of roman law that deals with violence done by someone's property.  Thus, he is obviously a symbolic counterpoint to the "peace" of Immhotep.  When jere figured immhotep's identity, jwg used noxalis to try to throw suspicious off of Immhotep, first by undermining the conspiracy theory, then by making a second thread that claimed to have killed price.  When JWG affirmed that Immhotep's picture was a fake, everyone would assume that noxalis killed price.

So who killed Price? NO-ONE!!! JWG realized that Price was going to be robbed eventually, so he decided to have Price retire in a way that everyone would think he died.  He created 2 accounts, and then, when a promising random house (Jaynes) rose in value, started an extended editing session with Price.  When people started to think Price died, he had his alts post pictures of Price's death, knowing that in the confusion and chaos, people would latch onto one or the other, but no-one would even suspect that Price isn't dead.  Really, though, at this point he's sipping martini's at a beach on an private island he bought.

I didn't get too far, only brought one crowbar. Some of the wired wooden walls might just be wooden walls.

protox13: Well, I've already gotten $1M net worth as Mister Earl Wilson, so that one is already checked off. And there just isn't that much money in the game any more. finding ALL the paintings would be a real hassle - who knows how many are hiding in abandoned $26 houses?

My aim - the one Jere inadvertently set me - was to show that it is possible to survive at the top for a week: http://thecastledoctrine.net/forums/vie … 7619#p7619. Of course I am taking out the houses systematically but that isn't stopping some people coming into my house with $120k of tools...

Amatiel: If you want your house to be safe, just make sure you don't get in my sites or make it to the top 8 . Then it is unlikely I'll take you down. And yes, if anyone so much as peeks past my walls they probably won't have a house for long. Nothing personal, just the only way to survive with so much money.

had a good look inside XD!!! bummer I didn't bring moar ladders tho and I'm out of cash lolz

Herez my map hope it helps~~~ http://castledraft.com/editor/HSMjvk

Pretty interesting idea for a lot of people to all gather information, like a gang of thieves. I've got the chills in his house at the moment.

Earlier I counted that there were 10 steps of the house staying the same, then everything turns on for a turn, then the door opens for 1 turn (2 if the cat gets stuck in it) then the door closes and everything remains off.

One thing I learned the hard way is that you need to wall your power sources,it is pretty obvious but sometimes a burglar with just one saw and a bottle of water can ruin your cleverly designed commit trap so ...

you can kind of prevent people from having very easy/repeatable exploration of your house with something like this http://castledraft.com/editor/O3UGnP

doggy commit gates are probably one of the most effective.
