Neighbor Pranking Suggestions

Postby LackofCertainty » Thu Dec 06, 2012 3:10 am

So, I have a couple relatively close neighbors where I've settled, and every day I poke around their claims to see how things are coming. Today, I noticed one of my neighbors is finally making himself a clay trough. (Good for him!)


However, after a couple more minutes, I noticed three things:
1. He doesn't have a sawbuck so it'll be a while before he can finish it.
2. The clay trough he's building is 1 tile off of his claim.
3. He put a nail into it already, but hasn't built said nail into the structure. (in other words, I can pull the nail out)

I'm generally a friendly guy, and I don't want to start a feud, so I don't plan on stealing it, but at the same time, I can't let such a silly mistake pass. (after all, not everyone is as pure hearted and innocent as I am. ¦] )

My first thought is to take the nail and build a kiln for the guy in it's place, (just to screw with his head) and then build a clay trough with the nail on my own property. (I'd let him stew a day and then carry the built trough over to his land) However, I'm a little worried that he'd end up jumping the gun and farming for a 2nd nail, and that'd be no fun.

My second thought was to build the trough for him, but then surround it with a layer or two of fencing. (simple enough)

My third and final idea was just to do something simple and move it to the far side of his claim, and just leave him guessing.


So, which sounds best?

Rich enough? Drop a claim on it. He'll get it back when the upkeep runs out.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

Destroy absolutely everything on the claim except for the clay trough that hasn't been built yet.

Ok this takes the cake so far.

Best troll idea I've seen for a long time. Do this.
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.
