The Duke of OZ & The Earl of Ghibli both take refuge in the vacant Tsurugajo Art Gallery. Surrounded by precious and beautiful artworks, they pray to their individual Gods, safe in the knowledge that they have purified themselves in mind and body as best they can from the coming plague. They have plentiful supplies of fresh fruit, vegetables, and some fish & meat for many days, and clean linen for themselves and their inner circle of family, friends and personal servants. Sir Hokusai draws his sword, the aged Duke takes stock of his life and deeds ... and sleeps ... the best medicine of all he is told.
      

Zephyrus will stay in the San Pietro cathedral, where the poor and needy may seek refuge during those difficult years.

What bothers me a bit is costs of drinks. Yesterday I bought 450 bottles of Wine which seemed cheap and paid 75M. 400 bottles should be drank ( i hope i am wrong) in a gameplay year or in real life week. My income a year/week is 5M.

I am not sure how was this planed to be balanced, since drinking was planed to be only 20% of character costs. I doubt I will pay 300 moneros that will one day be worth a fortune to stay in game for a week.

Excellent logic! Has the oracle been fooling us?? Is this a spiritual disease after all?  

I am getting 2 "free" questions today, right after the voluntary drinking deadline (after ~2 hours).

Instead of me asking stupid questions, why don't we spend some effort in thinking as good as possible questions, whose answers (even if it is "yes", "no" or "idk") reveal much important info. Then I can ask them (and it'd be so good for you to ask more bonus questions as well).

My small contribution to the riddle is the following:

- The objective is to maximize health. It is implicit that it can be maximized individually with ultra-costly drinking, but the public health would be better off with drinking spearheaded to maximum effectiveness drinks.
- It has been told that "spirits", "some drinks among spirits" and "darker rather than lighter spirits" have this effectiveness.

Naturalist Mooo moves his residence to the less populated 2-N borough, his recently acquired 2-N-N5 summer house, in the hopes that an out of the way location coupled with a newly built development will be less conducice to the plague vectors.

Mooo will take good care to burn all waste in a corner of the property, and prepares a first selection of drinks for the coming years:

10 W1600M
86 W1601B
10 W1603
106 W1603A

The hour is upon us...

Marquess noms looked around at the kingdom, one that was tainted with the smell of the black death.   He had been residing in his summer palace in 2-S, but decided that it would be smarter to move from that area-nobody wants to be close in proximity to fluffy pony horses at this time!  He had his loyal housemaids move all of the supply of wine and dark spirits into his carriage and set off for his house in 5-E. His reasoning was this: If he could keep a minimum of 40 meters away from all other people during this time of crisis, perhaps he would be able to better fend off the dark spirits--with dark spirits.



Before he arrived, he had his butler go through the painstaking task of killing each and every rat that was on the property and burn the carcasses in the empty lot next door.  He then instructed his housemaids to pack all of his clean clothes in mint-treated cloth, packed in the naturally bacterial-resistant cedar chests that he had commissioned a few years prior. At the time these seemed somewhat pointless as he had nice mahogony and teak chests of drawers and closets. He hoped that the mint that he had spread around the house would help ward off any fleas that might be able to infect him. He made a mental note to thank Zenon for the information that cedar had extra properties besides a building material, something that they had discussed in the Gilded Goose some time ago.





Sphericon company had been sitting dormant for some time, so he stationed them around his house in the empty lots nearby in order to keep all potential victims away from the Marquess. They were also given the same kinds of clothing preservation techniques that The Marquess had employed (cedar, mint, etc).  He implored them to keep fires burning, even as it changed from spring to summer, as it would help to ward off the stray  Firmicutes that may be lurking.



Armed to the teeth with fresh clothes, many spirits, wines,  beers, and silver water, as well as an army to keep him separated from other humans, The Marquess finally felt that he had done everything in his power to try to stay healthy during this trying time.  He couldn't help think about those who were living in borough 4, and how they might be at risk of contracting conditions related to living in the swamp.  A shiver went down his spine and he sent out some servants to the 4th borough to try to warn those who still residing there...

kronicblazer drink plan:

W1603A: 62 bottles
CLXII: 2 bottles
CVS: 15 bottles
RME: 15 bottles
RUM: 1 bottle
VOH: 30 bottles
SW2: 1 bottle


Total: 400 bottles

The streets are empty, nobody is walking around unless it is necessary, only the homeless poor who have no place to go indoors are still outside breathing the stale air, the smell of disease and rot is overwhelming. It is time to take measure and drink for health:

Roopatra drinks:

1 bottle of SW1
1 bottle of SW2
2 bottles of CLXII
2 bottles of CVS
2 bottles of RME
2 bottles of RUM
10 bottles of VOH
75 bottles of W1600
25 bottles of W1603A
75 bottles of W1601B
25 bottles of W1604
140 bottles of Beer
40 bottles of Mead

"-Star, lets go for a ride in the countryside!" Perhaps fresh air will clear our heads, and we can collect some herbs for Zenon, maybe he can use them to help anyone who falls ill.

Being a novice (still), I'll drink what is available. Ideally:

5 SW2
50 RUM
50 VOH
50 W1604
75 W1603A
100 W1601B
70 W1601

After a long debate, I've decided to drink whatever is at hand and follow-up with vigorous exercise to sweat the malady out:

My drinking plan:

RM1600B: 2
W1600M : 20
W1600B  : 5
W1602F  : 2
W1602    : 5
W1603    : 5
W1603A  : 15
W1604    : 99

Hopefully, after some good exercise, any remnants of plague will be be cast back to the fires of their maker.

Master Angus (may I be known as master now  ) anti-plague plan:

EDIT:
375 W1604
  20 RME
    5 CVS
---------------------
400 bottles

And 5 bottles of CVS used on his house and himself to try to keep the bad air away

The distress in which our beloved Kingdom had fallen brought back the memory of strange tales Angus had heard while traveling the distant lands to the south. He pondered the unusual tales for a long time. During his last voyage he heard an old man tell a story of when he was just a little boy. Terrible times when Death had spread throughout the land. The old man blamed the foul air that emanated from those who fell victim to the disease itself. From whence it came, nobody knew.

Angus stared at the moth-eaten old page in his lap.


It was a sketch the old man had drawn of a protection against the deadly miasma. "Was he just a crazy old man?" Angus decided he must reach at least those who would risk their lives to take care of the ill. It didn't matter if his countryman would look at him the way he looked at that odd old man while he told his grim tale.

But as soon as he went past the door toward the church he stopped and entered his home again. He still didn't have a coach, it was madness to make the journey afoot. While trying to summon the needed courage his gaze fell upon the unopened bottle of V.S. Cognac on the table. He felt an irresistible urge to take a swig of the fragrant spirit. When he opened the bottle a thought raced through his mind. "What if..."

Angus took a big gulp and started to sprinkle the walls, floors and rough-hewn furniture of his humble home. He then turned the bottle over on himself and rubbed the precious liquid deep unto his skin and hair and rushed out the door...

I wish to repost this. It is still possible to signup (PM me). The event as the first anniversary, in the Royal Palace, and right after the release of the long-awaited online version is certainly one of its kind!

Hi all,

The PMs to all accountholders have been sent, and about 50 accounts have been claimed in the first 4 hours. This does not even include all the daily active players. In my estimate, about 1-2% of the Crypto Kingdom assets remain unclaimed after a few days. The owners have until December 17th, to claim them, after which we thank you for support and spend the assets for marketing. Several attempts to reach the owner will be tried meanwhile, with "last active" being the guide. (If a BCT account has been active yet does not reply to PMs for months, he is judged to have donated the CK account to the game. If he is not even active in BCT for months, what can we do?)

The Town appointed wealth (or health) managers start their job to manage the unclaimed accounts tomorrow. Their mission statement is as follows:
- Arrange living conditions according to the level, status and means. Acquire houses, suits, carriages, later other items. Whatever is customary and also benefits wellbeing and promotions etc.
- Keep the character alive by drinking. In the advanced age this may be costly as well, but this is to mimic what people do when they have gold coin in their hand and the choice is to buy medicine or die.
- Make wise investment choices. Some events (such as maturing of existing bonds) give large cash flows, and these will be reinvested to liquid assets to produce more cash flows. Active investing is not possible due to limited time.

If you have a personally appointed wealth manager, the contract continues unchanged. It is a private deal between you and the manager and from the game point of view is not relevant. We have always had such arrangements, and in the future (especially with Countryside bringing more management challenges but no more time to the key players) will have even more.

It is worth emphasizing that every character has its own account, therefore players who also are CEOs in a corp, need to log out and in to play as the corp. If you are a wealth manager, you have the keys to multiple accounts and manually logout and in to each of them to perform actions.

The schedule is that plague health challenge will be solved Saturday afternoon. Then the year change script will be run (with as many as possible actions having happened in advance). Then Sir Zechariah, The Prince Royal is organizing a great party to celebrate his nomination to the Heir Apparent, party is overshadowed by the plague of course especially if people have died. This party doubles as the Ultima release celebration.

The migration itself has been practiced numerous times - we have imported the data at least weekly for a long time already. Now we aim to do it the final time concerning /CHAR, /ITEMS, /F_OWN and /LOT. Buildings will continue in google DB because it is currently the most handy editor to get them to the game, and the arrangement will continue for some time because of the player votes concerning what they truly feel is important.

In the very beginning, there is somewhat little to play in the game, since health challenges are done for a few years, and building is essentially unchanged from the google version. In just a few days we get the new player registration and login to work, and then the EXP, which allows scripted actions and nice bonuses for playtime. API is also not a distant thing because it has been carried in the design all the time and mainly lacks documentation. From here, the game gradually takes shape

Urgent information concerning the plague:

1. If you have claimed your account, you will not get a wealth manager, which means that there is nobody to buy you drinks in advance before the evaluation of the health challenge. We do our utmost to have enough drinks to buy during the evaluation, and I have the authority to spend your money on them. It is nevertheless very preferable if you take command of your character right here as you read this, the benefits include 1) save money 2) save health 3) learn the game 4) fun.

2. If you have not claimed your account, the wealth manager will take care of you.

3. I am extremely happy that so many of the active players have really taken the time to consider the distribution of drinks, so that they can benefit the most, in this time of impending health disaster. But the sales of the poor man's bread - BEER and MEAD - are still halted. The Church and Town need to step up and take the effort to think how they can save lives with the efficient distribution and how to organize it. I am not doing it for you. I hope this would have happened already since the deadline for voluntary drinking is in 15 hours!

4. The wealth managers will be taking command only after the voluntary drinking. The voluntary drinking is a post sent to this thread explaining what drinks from your inventory (max 400 bottles) you drink and why and what other measures you take to combat plague. Needless to say, typically it pays off to participate in these...

Marquess noms would like to announce his drink plans for public record:

400 bottles total
------------------
W1600: 200 bottles
W1601B: 35 bottles
W1603A: 100 bottles
CLXII: 7 bottles
CVS: 13 bottles
RME: 20 bottles
RUM: 1 bottle
VOH: 20 bottles
SW2: 4 bottles

The evidence is much inconclusive but it seems that this time darker spirits give better results than light ones, per bottle.

for the good of the kingdom, I'd like to spend 500 SCI and ask a question: What color beverage is likely to be the most healthy/helpful?

Plague information update

(results are based on die, and build on the previous hints)


Does the plague hit some people more based on their general characteristics: No, it is pretty much equal.

Is silver in some form the miracle cure: Probably not.

Does drinking a few bottles of a variety of spirits give better effect than a lot of one type: I don't know.

Is it possible to get more accurate information by spending SCI: Yes, very much so. Spend and ask a question like from every good oracle
