Can you say hook line and sinker? lol

The amount of robs attempted against me has increased dramatically because of this little trick. Has anyone else tried this or been caught on the end of a fishing line baited with lvl 6 laundromat income :P?

If you have, how did it make you feel to know that you fell for it? I always figured that people click a money sign once to see what the building is, then click a second time to initiate a rob lol! Got a few "LoL-able" comments on my wall. Here is a screenshot:http://s16.postimage.org/d5i4fuwh1/IMG_0912.png

I've fallen for it once or twice. Now I make it a point to hit guys like that extra hard, and keep coming back to them. :D

If i fall for it I pound em.

If I dont I leave a complimentary message on their wall.

I know that seems backwards but its how I roll. lol

I was curious about that... I tap, look, & then rob. But, I'd rob your LM anyway, hoping you'd want revenge, thus giving me a sweet link back to those lvl2 UCs!
What sorta gives it away is the UC next to them doesn't have the icon over it & most hoods are synched.

(I think it's so funny when players hide high-payout buildings behind high-payout buildings. I see it about as much as the hidden LMs.)

I bet you check twice now lol. I would be pissed too though, especially if I was down to my last 4 or 5 stamina points and figured, "wow the gods have not forsaken me".

Just hope no one goes kratos on my hood!!

+1 Excellent point. I sometimes do that too. the backlink idea is brilliant, hehe. Glad I thought of it. ;)

I have fallen for it too many times, now I usually doublecheck though. And some times I go for the LMs to check if I get 1/2 or 1/3 xp/rp :)

I can appreciate folks who design booby traps into their hoods. What I don't appreciate is CC either telling you what you're robbing, or not telling you, depending on how long someone's name is.

I figure if enough people catch on, in the event that I do forget to collect, maybe they will think its just the laundromats and move along.

But, chances are they will rob me anyway and I will be backtrolled http://s8.postimage.org/m72wqxbw5/backtrolled.jpg

I have mixed emotions on this one... i always double check so i dont get caught,
i can appreciate the trickery behind this but making me waste my click on thus building only
fuels me to beat down on such player then rob them if i still have stam.

haha that reminded me of a time i was questing and saw a rock cafe and immediately tapped for a rob then realized it didnt have a money icon on top or lvl number.... needless to say i was ashamed.

Seems that the general consensus is to pummel the trickster here... *thinks about where his laundromats are*

if i really rationalize i can see how you may get much enjoyment out of it from your lvl
but *reluctant to say it * ...remembering your old days up here did you enjoy stumbling upon one ?
Sorry G, your still my boy.

Sorry G, your still my boy. Well this actually happened to me with a loft back in the day and I thought it was so clever. Back then everyone was pretty much even in terms of defense and stats.

Currently my defense is pretty high, so it kind of gives me an idea how many people scan my hood on a regular basis.

based on that logic alone, it makes perfect sense.

Damn I fell for it earlier trying to rob you gwiz! I should have known better since it was one of the only buildings available. But it was placed so well it really looked like the brownstone.

Interesting point in seeing how many people scan your hood. This would be a good stat if Funzio was to include it on our profile.

It would definately aid one in seeing if they need to change the building collection times. I feel that a lot of people generally know when my buildings are going to spawn cash because I collect on time, so chances are if you hit me once and come around that same time--say-- 12 or 24 hrs later, you might catch me slunking by a minute or so.

If it was me I would wreck you for days on end.... probably for so long I'd end up forgetting why I started in the first place...thus making us best friends. So if you don't do it, think of all the possible BFFs you're missing out on meeting. lol

Love it. Change the LM for something that gives lots of Exp and less R, increase the heartache ;)

I normally go for LM's and Collection Agencies anyways, so it wouldn't be a huge disappointment. Nice idea, though.

I've tried to be the trickster before, it is actually really hard to place the sneaky building in the right place for the money sign to be just right.
