Myths
There are many harmless jokes posted on the Discussion Boards by bored and mischevious players. However, if the Creators do make these rumors into reality, this post will be altered. Here are a list of current, common Myths:
Flawed Strategies:
- Purchasing a large amount of cheese to keep gold 'safe'
Having zero gold does not 'block' a hunter from a mouse stealing their gold. The mouse will instead steal a quantity of their cheese equal to the value of gold that the mouse would of taken. The quantity of cheese is also rounded up meaning if a mouse was to steal 201 gold and a hunter had brie baited the mouse would instead steal 2 pieces of brie which is the equivalent of 400 gold. It becomes obvious that this hurts the hunter more than it helps them. --Dave Vanderburg 15:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

- Hot Tub (Base)
- Creates a sense of ambiance that draws the mouse in for a calming swim which soon turns into a boiling pool of burning doom
- Diving Board (trap)
- created for use with the Hot Tub base the diving board trap uses pressure plates on the surface of the diving board to activate what the creators of this trap called the hydraulic hinge, folding the board from front to back upon itself crushing the mouse.
- Fall Base
- Fall describes two things on this trap, its design and camouflage, designed to have the appearance of a forest floor scattered with leaves the fall base blends perfectly with its surroundings. Stepping on this false ground will cause you to plunge into a pool of liquid nitrogen instantly freezing the mouse.
