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 have 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.

Revision as of 18:16, 16 December 2008

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 have 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.

List of made-up areas:

  • Salt Mines (now an in-game reference)
  • Hanging Gardens
  • Pepper Mill
  • Pepper Dunes
  • Elysian Fields
  • Candy Cane Forest

  • Greater Mummy mouse- said to drop Imperial Pass- (Catacombs)
  • Golem mouse (giant Granite mouse)- Resides in Meadow- (Catacombs)

Traps and Bases

  • Any Salt Mine related cheese or traps, e.g. Salt "Extractor"
  • Bulgarian Bread Feast Trap
  • Diamond Atomizing Portal Trap
  • Diarrhea Bottomizing Portal Trap
  • Mr. Giggles' Fantastic Shoppe of Imported Goods
    • Which May or May Not Include Cheese Traps Bases and "Hunting Mice For Dummies-- A complete collection of common mistakes and their solutions"
  • 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.
  • Armor Plated ULTIMATUM or A.P.U.- A mish-mash of many traps,blended together to make the strongest trap ever devised yet. With an Accuracy rating of 300%, and Cheese Effect off the chart positive, this trap will catch just about any mouse, be it physical or undead. While it has not been tested against the battle-trained mice to this point, it is expected to do very well. (Catacombs)
  • Not a fat guy's mouth trap
    • Another creation of Lobster Mouse's creator, the "Not a fat guy's mouth trap" is a staircase that goes through a doorway that promises "Definitely not to be a fat guy's mouth". But through this doorway leads a staircase that actually does go up to a fat guy's mouth, which will eat the betrayed and saddened mouse. The fat guy in the picture is said to be based off it's creator's uncle.

  • Ancient Book, dropped by Sensei mice, unlocks Xanadu
  • Riddle of the Catacombs- unlocks the Catacombs if you can solve the riddle
  • Secret Knock Of The Pagoda- A myth started before the pagoda was released as a real area, a samurai supposedly dropped a slip of parchment with the secret knock written on it. The secret knock comprised of exactly 26 knocks.
