Landlord farming.
« on: May 09, 2009, 02:24:43 am »
I've discovered something. When asked to donate under the level of "Ready to fight for the liberal cause" they donate TONS of money. Not only that, but the landlord of the same building respawns as someone else! Who can also be farmed!

So I decided to just screw massive speeches and started to do private conversations with landlords. Works quite well.

Nice "feature".  Fellow revolutionaries, exploit this "feature" until the corrupt Capitalist Dogs deny us our just loophole, so as to prove that only Capitalist Dogs can use loopholes!

Just kidding, Jonathan.  I don't really consider money a big deal in LCS, so whatever is fine.

Maybe there should be a permanent landlord for each apartment. They'll only offer a donation once, but getting them as a sleeper will let you negotiate a sweet rent price when you talk to them.

Oooh, that would be nice!

Definitely would add more character to an aspect which I always felt needed something "more".  That would definitely qualify.

You could probably set them up to fund your operation by sending a cut of their rent profits to you.

that is a good idea, maybe thay can give us the keys to the rest of ther rooms as well when set to seal stuff.
keys make no one care if you open the door to the room.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

people would still care, but it should make all locks 0 difficulty to pick.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

And 0 difficulty locks would ruin one of the best ways to "grind" security.

Thus, let's not get the keys.  We've already got the "Ultimate Key", AKA the Crowbar.

I agree with this completely.

It would make landlords less of a daily (and hefty!) money source, but make them more meaningful overall.

And if you actually get a landlord to join the LCS...

Why, you all stay in the landlord's personal rent-free apartment, of course!
