Zenon: SW3 (1616)

Zenon has not spent the last 10 years twiddling thumbs. After the mixed success of silver-infused vodka Silver Water I & II (1606), he has come up with a new formula. As previously, it is based on VOH, the only pure solvent existing in the whole Kingdom, and this time it is infused with all the goodness in the world: DOM, W1603A, W1600M, W1600, SW1, SW2, CLXII, LAG, RME and trace amounts of others are there. AYA and MUS have been infused for years to transit their properties. Different potencies of CAN extract have been tried to find the optimum base. Even the multi-decade ordeal of grinding a nearly 200 year old CR gold coin to dust has been included in this batch.

Zenon estimates that this enhanced and energetically balanced recipe of the spirits of historical heritage, ormus silver and gold, (energetic token amount only of the) best of wines including DOM with 20/20 rating, first and only of its kind, and wisdom extracts, will be significantly better overall health elixir than SW2. Since it has not been tried, there are as usual no guarantees.

The experiment as previously, became quite costly (the price of 10,000*CAN alone was 120 mil), and King has helped with most of the materials + all of the facilities. He will get 50% of the product, and the other 50% will be sold in the same fashion as Town was recently selling (periodical setting up asks lower than the previous).

(will be added to market soon)

3rd party development commission: Duty Paid IC shop

We need to get the IC->items conversion working. All the commands and methods are there already, but Wizard Dev PJ is fully resourced to core development including safeguarding the DB, doing "secret projects" such as Health (which includes information that only me, or not even me are allowed to see), and fixing bugs in the main gameplay interface, cryptokingdom.me.

So in the devthread, I will outline the Duty Paid module, the ingame shop for generating imported items. We (Town) are looking for dev for the project in a commercial deal. Check it out if interested.

Year Change to 1616 (update 3)

- NPC dividends paid (2 years, incl IC)

- Building dividends partly paid (about 4.6bil money for 2 years, but CUL+IC+SCI is not yet credited to owners)

- NPC salaries paid and land owners taxed

- New stuff in devthread: commands SPOIL and PROMOTE specified.

* It is likely that the spoilage of VEG+CAV and depopulation of NPC and horses will be able to start already in this year change. NPC and horses will also be able to be promoted. The exact promotion formulas are secret but they are based on real world. In US Military, 17% of the starting commissioned officers actually become colonels, but this does not mean that 17% of all officers are colonels because the promotion is reached only at the end of career, so the percentage of COL/(officers total) is more like 3%, as in here.

* NPC implementation does not include "age" so they die randomly without warning. Higher level NPC have more to spend on their health challenges (N9 = 7 mil per year(!)) so they have better chance to extend their age despite being older than entry-level NPC.

* It is likely that NPC will soon start to buy and consume products from the market, which will mean a much increased scripted activity to buy all kinds of products daily from the "ask", encouraging PC to keep the ask updated and compete ferociously

Health Challenge started off as Brutal

Brutal

consume 50 meat
consume 50 can
consume 50 W1609
consume 50 W1601B

Severe(forgot if this changed before or after W1601B)

consume 50 meat
consume 100 cig
consume 42 W1603A >>>> "The eating/drinking felt Wonderful. I feel the remaining health challenge to be None. I could still eat 100, drink 58 and use 50 units of wisdom this year."


W1603A had a pretty huge effect.  Think it would be better to consume this or another batch of better quality item you intend to consume first, instead of consuming cheap stuff first like I did.  I should have been able to consume mostly cheap stuff after the W1603A if I used it first saving me some money/supplies. 

I just sold all my gold today. Did I get a dividend?
Cheers, Q

Year Change to 1616 (update 2)

- Equipoise/Avitohol CKG dividend issue fixed

- CON dividends paid (2 years)

I was eating-drinking hearty and mixing it quite hardly with units of wisdom before the health challenge took me by surprise and made me fight for my life in severe conditions.

I got bewildered and started to desperately consume all different items that I have in small to average quantities with no visible effect. Accidentally I had swallowed few pure silver cryptonic Monero prepared for black Friday and after that I have suddenly started to feel really better.

Few more CXO, CVS, CAN, MUS, MEAT, BEER, VEG, CIG, W1600M, W1601B, W1613W, CLXII, VOD, FOIE, GIN, RME, LAG and one brilliant COH brought my health back to stable.

I may still eat 27 units, drink 84 units and use 43 units of wisdom this year.

That's for the 63 gold I already had. I bought 25 more before this 126000 payment.

The gold dividends are distributed as GIVE commands from the town and not dividends.   You received 126000 today from the Town which is probably your CKG dividend.

This year I bought 25 gold on market. I got no dividends for this gold.

Year Change to 1616 (update 1)

We are sorry, again it is double-year. From now on it should not happen any more, and the change to 1616 in starting now already, so that it will certainly be ready by Sunday, which is also when the Health Challenge will end.

- Gold dividends paid (2,000/CKG)

- DOM raffled (DOM exists: 35)

I (Coinshop) added bids for all gold coins 0.94-1.00 range. Easiest if you just dump to these. Saw your post only now

If anyone is looking for gold coins, I am selling these (generally 1m/CKG):
HM1500J
HM1600J

CR1602E
CR1601E
CR1522E
CR1518E
CR1468E
CR1454E
CR1450E
CT1600C
CR1601A

Also these medals:
GOO-48
RM1600B

I'm also selling a nice, centrally-located house for 500m.

My challenge was "Severe". I managed to tone it down to "None" with the following. (I consumed all this in small chunks over two days).

Drinks:
BEER  100
W1604 20
GIN     9
In small quantities (between 1 and 5): RME, LAG, CLXII, W1600M, W1600, W1603A, W1613W

Food:
FOIE    30
MEAT 80
VEG    50

Wisdom pleasures:
MUS    5
CIG    70
CAN    55

I started consuming the cheapest things in the list (BEER, CAN, VEG for instance) once I've seen my challenge reduced from "Severe" to "Significant". Before that I was too worried...
Now "You may still eat 54 units, drink 55 units and use 69 units of wisdom this year." so I think I could probably have done it with larger quantities of cheaper stuff. In the end it was quite expensive, but I prefered to play it safe.

25 VEG + 70 MEAT + 13 W1609 + 31 BEER + 26 MEAD + 52 CAN. All in small portions since the health challenge started.

Farewell my friend. It was nice knowing you.

PS: I would get a son before the year ends, if I were in your shoes.


My challenge for 1615:

consume MEAT 50
The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 150, drink 200 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume VEG 150
The eating/drinking felt Powerful. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 200 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume BEER 100
The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 100 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume MEAD 100
The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 0 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume CAN 25
The eating/drinking felt Satisfying. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 0 and use 175 units of wisdom this year.

I did it all in one go.

I drank V.S. Cognac, Louis XII Old Cognac, French Wine -1600 and 1604, Beer and Mead
Ate mostly VEG and about 50 MEAT, and consumed 200 CAN

Now:

HEALTH
You may still eat 0 units, drink 0 units and use 0 units of wisdom this year. Your remaining health challenge is Severe. Your overall health is Weak

Hey Ho.

Roopatra´s health challenge was tackled from brutal to none, but not without cost. I was testing the helpfulness of many different foods and drinks so it was not nearly cost effective. Luckily I now feel I can help my health management clients better.

Hokusai´s health challenge went from severe ---> none, in one go, drinking a largish quantity of W1603A. Either a lucky escape with an easy challenge or that wine is something powerful indeed.

HSH Duke of OZ was tougher, but luckily he is equipped with very good wine cellar and assorted spirits, foods and wisdom. Something as common as vegetables needed to be bought from market, but sometimes the simple things are important in varied diet. Challenge reduced from brutal to none.

The church would like to announce that they have the coveted W1603A wine for sale, quantity 1400 for 100k lower than the previous asks: https://cryptokingdom.me/marketplace/item/W1603A

Not being able to determine exactly whether or not the bittersweet envelopment of an heirless death would be welcome over spending that which would be considered seven years worth of wages for this lowly commoner, goin2mars quickly placed all his remaining stores of food and drink back on the market in an effort to return the harrowingly resplendent goods to the ostensible demon from which they came.

"Next year I'd be better off growing such barbarous niceties from land I've sowed myself rather than paying a quarter of my lifes wages just to carry on for another glorious year in the Kingdom." He remarked.

"For at least then I could rest satisfied knowing that I succumbed to my own shortcomings, limited knowledge and slightly advanced age, than ever considering some adventitious act of fate. Fate, it would seem to have pushed me into restoring all but five of the beautiful mushrooms I found on the market not more than a year ago, that I may recover from the ghastly loss."

goin2mars shuddered as the thoughts of having to eat again next year ran circles through his mind. He found himself increasingly drawn to the idea of being able to seek respite in a house with a large plot of fertile land someday, rather than the cold barren nights wandering the kingdom aimlessly, without an animal (small game) in sight .

-health challenge was a lot of fun all, I'm looking forward to the next one, even if my character might be a little on the edge . Thanks for all the nice work being done on ultima!
