You are an outlaw.
How long can you survive on the run?
Tips
⦿You will never get caught on the 1st day
⦿Food is subtracted at the start of every day
⦿Laying low will remove 1-3 points of heat
⦿Going out to find food will garner 1-3 points of heat
⦿Bribing will remove 2-4 points of heat, but does not guarantee you not getting caught again the next day
⦿At 0 point of heat, you have 9% chance of being caught
⦿At 10 points of heat, you have 100% chance of being caught

Clever! The highest I got was 13 days--I really thought I had a good strategy, waiting until I was out of food to go out, but the game outsmarted me XD
Yeah, I changed the mechanism after my initial test showed turtling was the best strategy, and it was quite boring. Going out a bit more often will give you chance to get surplus so you can afford bribing.
Made it to Magician of the Silver Sky and I'm pretty proud of that, took me quite a few tries to figure this one out! Very entertaining game.
Thank you!
2nd try :)
Whoa, that’s a good one.
I got 16 days on first try... I'm pretty proud of that!
You should! That’s a pretty good run.
;-; can never reach wizardry level of fortune.... this was fun!
Don’t worry, so far only two people reported reaching that level :o It takes some serious luck to get there!
So far the most I've made it is 7 days... but I want to keep trying! This is really addictive!
I'll be honest with you, I never got past 18 in testing, at least without cheating. A friend of mine consistently got to 20-ish though.
26 days! Yes it is I, Wizard of the Century
Congrats on your haul!
