Hum.... i don't really get it. Buyer steals what he can't buy as a game mechanism. Is there any planned possible retaliation?
I mean once is suspicious, more than that i'd at the very least patrol around the barn with a club to catch him in the act and at the very worse i'd train the next girl to tear the man's throat open -possible deniability and all that...
I agree, on the patrol part not the tear his throat out part, more on that later. I tested this myself (on web idk if that’s outdated or not) but if he’s only paying 5 gold and things in the market cost WAY more than that he probably wouldn’t care enough to steal whatever girl you have.
But looking at what we have and what’s in the process I assume: it’s because we only have one bucket so it’s more of a way to avoid a bug with the bucket; maybe we will be allowed to buy buckets in the future allowing us to expand the barn; they are called “common” which implies there are “rare” ones but for the time being common is as rare as it gets so this is a situation where you just need to be patient; perhaps this is why or because personal pets will be a thing as they can act as guards or sentries (assuming they are trained well enough)
So the reason I disagree with the tearing the throat out is due to the “big man”… or guy… whatever he’s called in the game. If a buyer was reported dead on your property. And the wounds looked like they came from a cat, wolf, or fox girl. Odds are the big man will get involved, he will find you are holding a cat/wolf/fox girl illegally. You get arrested. You lose.
