Silly BP. Everyone knows you just like to set fire to stuff mate haha.
To be fair, there are some very helpful items to take note of when setting fire to buildings and bodies....not all from personal experience, but some of it is.
1. No setting fire to a terrace house! This is a dumb idea because you'll set fire to the whole lot of houses! Not great planning, because there may be some nice bounty in the other houses.
2. Check the houses out before you clear them out. Thing to check are cupboards, in the attic/loft, cellars, but also strange places, like the cistern above the toilet (if it's full, it's clean drinking water!!!)
3. Take a bag with empty containers when investigating a house to burn. You never know what you'll find. See above.
4. ALWAYS carry a skateboard with you. Easy transport, easy to use even when injured, easy to transport around (put it through the loops on the bag you're carrying), VERY helpful for being lazy going down hills, helpful when in a fight, and last but not least....helpful when moving bodies.
5. When in the house, check for lines of sight along the paths to the house. You don't want people seeing you dragging bodies to the house.
6. Carry some burning equipment with you at the start of each journey. Better to have that stuff there and in place before you realise the house is full of bodies and you needed more fuel upstairs.
7. When filling the house, start at the hardest to access room (usually upstairs). There are 2 reasons for this. 1, because it gets the hard work out the way, and 2, if it takes you a while to fill the house, you won't be walking through the bad small to fill everywhere else up.
8. Load up the house from upstairs to downstairs.
9. Pile bodies up. No point having a load of bodies on the floor and burning 100 houses, when you can do the same with 1 piled up house.
10. Choose a house a distance away from you! No point making a signal fire to let people know you're around.
11. If you can stomach it, chop the bodies up. Makes them easier to transport.
12. When burning the house, add the odd pine log here, there, and everywhere. Pine resin burns hot and the logs burn for long enough to catch a body.
13. When the house is loaded up, remember to have all doors open inside. This is VITAL when used in conjunction with the next point.
14. After a hard days body chopping and house loading, relax and enjoy a little mindless vandalism. Smash all the windows in the house. This will allow enough oxygen to enter la mason au burning-bodies. Without oxygen, you don't have a fire!
15. When you start the house burning, start from multiple areas! Makes it burn faster and hotter, thus burning the bodies better.
16. When selecting a house, go for a timber framed job, not a stone build thing. Timber frames simply mean, less timber you need to get into the house.
17. Modern houses are often given heatproofing fire resistant wall materials. Not ideal. You really want something built in the 50's to 70's.
18. Remember the marshmallows!
