This might be the stupidest thread ever. Don't feed any of them trolls.

Blip, why don't you stream? I'd love to watch you robbing.

I think most advantages are wasted on beginners, as they die a lot, and are more beneficiary to experienced players.

The only thing I can think of is a couple of days without permadeath on self testing. I can't imagine any abuse and it would be really nice for beginners.

Let's invite more players to the dark side of multiaccounting?

I'm not sure what the question or implication is here.

With such an offer I would really consider buying a second account, if only for building purposes. And if I had a second account, well I don't think I could always resist the temptation to enjoy the advantages of that. I might be not the only one here.

For a beginner, 5 lives are nothing. For an experienced player such an offer is a big invitation to buy a second account.

Sorry guys, I finally managed to rob you and then I died in a self test. I gave you 5 saws each for repairs, I'll be back. Please try not to make your houses 2k safe too soon.

Hmm, imagine if everyone got $4000 for all the money that moved around in the game.

People who are online when this happens benefit much more from this than offline players. Except of course if you only receive the money at your next login.

It would be interesting to see somebody build a phony combo lock with the real solution being a single-button press counter.

I just had a low budget house with this combo lock: http://castledraft.com/editor/bjec2Q

You have to press the first toggle switch twice and avoid the other two. It looks cheap and noobish, but I think it's not too easy to guess the combination, especially with a pitbull right behind you that gives you just enough time to press two buttons. And you don't really need any press counter or fancy stuff like that.

Any chance any one knows how to take a video of me going through my current house? That way when my house goes down I can post it.

I use LICEcap to make an animated gif and upload that to imgur.

Stefan, I had the same question and had to read all the answers to get is just as well as you, so don't worry, you're not alone. Anyway, nice vision trick.

That cat room reminds me of this game none of you might know because you are not that old and not from Hungary ;-)

If you really pay someone $150, how do you know it's not the same triple account guy laughing his ass off?

#93 Re: Main Forum » Server that does not tolerate cheating » 2014-04-08 11:07:39

Just an idea: make chills not 24 hours but some variable time based on the numbers of active houses or something.

#94 Re: Main Forum » Fortress Theory Mod - Version 3 » 2014-04-08 11:03:33

Most of the money came from two sources: me doing suicide runs and tool dumping two weeks ago and Grimsley's dual-accounting. Now there aren't any broken houses, so tool dumping is not an option any more. I might start doing suicide runs again, but there is nothing to rob now.

#97 Re: Main Forum » Dual Accounts AND The Forum » 2014-04-06 06:35:59

I haven't read everything, but I've seen my name mentioned and I want to set things straight.

I've never said dual accounting is a good thing, I said it's not a big problem in my opinion. In fact since I said that, I experienced dual account cheating on the Fortress Theory Mod which made me quit, but it's a big difference feeding yourself with 2k every 5 minutes on a game with 5 active users compared to the large player base of TCD.

I still think all the discussion made the problem much worse, there might be a lot of players now who became aware of the possibility and all the advantages through this forum. Yes it's cheating and if it affects a lot of people, it's a problem as well.

I think Jason will react when he has an idea for a solution. The stupidest thing one can do is to quit for good, because the game is just a lot better with a large player base. As long as there are a lot of people playing fair, the cheaters will always be a minority.

#98 Re: Main Forum » So who is this thread spamming guy? » 2014-04-05 09:24:05

Jason, have you ever considered giving someone admin/mod rights for the forum? You won't be around every time this happens.

#99 Re: Main Forum » Fortress Theory Mod - Version 3 » 2014-04-04 16:12:58

Well done Grimsley. Iceman, you might wanna check your server logs. I'm done for now.

#100 Re: Main Forum » Meta-Game and Common Trap Mechanics » 2014-04-04 15:13:48

Power source/switch starting off/electric floor or power source/switch starting on/trapdoor. You don't need the dog to cross these but if you want it to follow you, it has to be right behind you.

An alternative would be using a chihuahua at your feet to change the distance between you and the pitbull as you can see here.
