I'll just rig my place with traps. Always wanted an excuse to do that

Now there's a very good point.
Are lava and other traps allowed to be used in defense of an intruder during the mist?
More to the point, how do you prove they are out to get you.

So, I was thinking, wouldn't this be the simplest way to hide during the mist:

Why the complexity? Nothing beats Dirt Block Security™.

(sorry for the double post, I have no idea how to continue text after a picture)
....add a dozen to spawn, plox!

I can see it now in chat:

AnewGuy has joined the game for the first time
AnewGuy: Hello
Everyone: Hi. Welcome to MinePlot.
AnewGuy: what's with all the iron door traps?
IVIIV: What traps?
A mist has fallen....(i forget exactly what it says)
AnewGuy: The ones here at spawn (hopefully read the rules and know what spawn is)
Everyone: Show ME PLOX!
AnewGuy: OK, I am still right here at spawn. BTW what was that mist business?
Everyone: Oh, never mind that. Just stay right there we want to check out this trap.
AnewGuy: OK
AnewGuy gets killed next to the very trap that if he entered would save him.......and the rest is history.

That's why mine has failsafe buttons on either side that only work without Mist, so if locked out or in once the Mist rises you can pass through and reset it.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to make my 100% mistproof and lock-in/out proof door.
In order to operate it, use outer lever too keep door shut. Flip lever to allow door to open, enter, and flip switch. Wait for night to pass. If all goes well, simply flip the switch back and leave, returning it to a shut-from-outside position. If someone has locked you in or you /home from it or something, the buttons work (And are disabled during mist, mind you) to shut down the system and open the door. It's pretty simple, but I use a modified version on a piston door, so it's open to modification and the like. This is the simplest, easiest model.
