Stealing shells from other people.
 

I was shoveling one day (I had bought 5 shovels) and I was making good progress, when a guy started trying to grab my shells. He said this exact sentence. " I got alot of your shells thx for them.." and when I cashed my shells in, I was surprised to find I actually lost money by 12 gralats.

Does anybody have any thoughts?

wtf

You lost 12 Gralats.

It is not about the money, it is a matter of principle.

As in he didn't make a profit... Shovels cost 50 each and he bought 5 shovels so he spent 250 gralats. Therefore, he only made 238 gralats and lost 12...

others can only pick up shells if you leave them there for 2 min

Pick them up fast enough -> win!
I don't get why people always want to have a bunch of shells <.<

dude 12 gralats?? jeez I would probably rage if I lost 4 shells :(

To sell to become adiam of course!

getting old...

It's an ok tactic. It goes against my code, but stealing after they've been sitting is perfectly fine.

So what you want is to make it last for 3min+?

I suppose you should just pick them up quicker. And if you see someone stealing your shells just quickly grab them all before he/she can get anymore. Haha one time I saw something pretty funny, this guy would stand over your shell piles and equip a shell and then show it. So it looked like he picked up your shell haha I thought it was funny..

Find a nice spot away from everyone else and dig. If you see someone coming close drop everything and pick them all up.

How did you know you lost 12 Gralats???

He did the math, lol

well that lined digging wasnt planned when developed,
it was just supposed to be everywhere digging.
if you dont want them to be stolen then pick them up goddammit

I just pick them up when it looks like they're about to become stealable.

quit crying over pixels. no one made you keep all your shells just laying there for, whats the time frame? 5 minutes?

My ****ing god I though the "DIS KID SCAMMED ME AN HAXS!!!!" threads were awful but this, this is total ****ing bull****, you lost 12 gralats, stop crying dammit, no one gives a **** anyway. Now delete this worthless spam thread.

I think the time frame should raise to 10 minutes.

You mad?

I thought the time for them to be on the ground was 3 mins before anyone can pick them up?

It is

That's strange, because I giggled.

Why is it that a shell becomes stealable after a set time, rather than the oriinal player's proximity to the shell? I suggested this a while ago, but it really doesn't matter.

It's a nice idea, but what if, for some reason, the player was warped and wanted to retrieve their shells after that had happened? They've then lost a bunch of shells after an event happened that was out of their control.

Dafuq is wrong with you?

who was it and where where you diggng...

He maybe have stolen 4 thourches.

Damn, think of everything you can get with 12 gralats.

Ikr I could get a pizza.
