[QUOTE=catbarf;31699275]TBH the OP reads like 'I just played a bunch of stealth videogames, here's what they taught me'. For starters, that squatting pose does absolutely nothing to change the amount of noise you make, but does slow you down due to the unnatural posture, which hinders balance and can create additional noise if you slip up. Nobody actually trained in stealth moves like that.
Also, you didn't list Thief in example games. For shame.[/QUOTE]
What position do you suggest,
I'm going to go steal some Oreos out of the cookie jar. brb.
Took the stairs thing and found it worked really well. My joints just kept popping and I heard my clothes shift on themselves. I got downstairs opened the cookie jar but it was stuck so it made a huge clanging noise when it came off.
so then I was like "screw this" and walked up the stairs with my oreos.
worth it.
sure is totse.com around here

You gotta stretch so your joints don't make noises.
black trenchcoat and sunglasses.
i scare people all the time in drama b/c we're working in a dark stage, and i just sneek up, honestly half the time i dont even try to do it, you need to mention that distractions like cell phones and texting helps
Wear two pairs of socks over your shoes to reduce footstep noise.
I'd stealth all day but I'm like the size of the Empire State building so I'd have to camoflauge as a building for shit to work
This reminds me a little of my friend. There was this like month long timeframe when he would hang out with a couple friends. He got into the habit of just disappearing when they weren't looking, and then scaring the shit out of them when they went to go find him.
This one time we were playing tag and I totally stealthed up on this fucker and tagged him.

[QUOTE=LieutenantLeo;31699527]What position do you suggest,[/QUOTE]
Feet close together to keep your center of balance over your legs at all times, but not so close that you need to balance to stay upright- approximately shoulder width. Keep your back bent over, and your legs only slightly bent. Take short steps with the heel first, leaning on your back foot to minimize sound, then transferring your weight to the front foot as you complete the motion, using your arms for counterbalance. Your rear foot should leave the ground at the same rate that your front foot flattens on the ground.
One of the many government-taught skills my father passed on to me.
A tip for jumping and dropping down from places: Right before you hit the ground, pull your legs up, and land on your toes. When you pull your legs up, it makes it so that your feet hit the ground slower, so it'll make less impact noise.
Also, where the hell is hide and seek for the games section??
ITT: Neckbeard wannabe Sam Fishers.
The sneaking in Morrowind is the best stealth.
I would suggest adding that if you think someone may be looking in your direction hide your face if it is not already concealed. Humans will easily recognize faces in objects, much easier than seeing a whole hidden body.
To open a door silently I often push the handle very hard towards the door and slowly open it.
Moving quicker tends to be better. If you open a squeaky door slowly, it'll make more noise than if you quickly jerk it open.
Gonna go snatch a calculator from my upstairs bathroom with squeaky floors.
If your looking to move across an outdoor areas while minimizing noise, always walk on either dirt or fresh grass thats still alive. Dead grass crunches when its stepped on, resulting in loud noise and can alert people around you.
i can finally avoid social situations without punching people in the face and screaming "i have aspergers"
I have this horrible habit of matching my footsteps to the person in front of me, I'm not conscious of it and I have no idea where I picked it up but it works. Most of the time it's all the stealth you need since most people don't check behind them constantly and crouch walking everywhere is bound to get you arrested.
Also there have been studies that have shown that staring at someone increases the odds of them looking at you. Could be coincidence, but in case it isn't probably a good idea to keep your eyes focused on the scenery etc.
Remember to keep an open mind, and if you need to hide quickly, think outside the box (or inside the box, if you insist) and find a place they'd never suspect you to be. Once, my family was playing hide n seek in the dark, so I wore dark pants and a white shirt, and layed halfway on a white carpet. Lasted 6 rounds like that.

A slight groan is better than a sudden alarming creak.
I would think it would be better to start opening the door slowly to asses it's potential to creak, and then choose whether to open quickly or slowly.
Where can I find the book that permanently raises my sneak by 3, or by 4 if improved?
Wouldn't you be better off throwing an object away from you in the dark to make a distracting sound rather than whistling and risking getting away from the area you're hiding in?
Stalking is good practice for stealth.
Be sure to always check your light meter
