Topic: Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City) - page 160. (Read 632699 times)

The Great Quarry Era started in connection with the Trust in Economy in 1520, the year with the lowest CKG price in history, 10 realdays after the deadline of the V.2 Ancients had been blown the first time. The time was also changed to pass slower than before. The quarrying was enabled in the new Borough, "New City", which was only then opened.

The quarries had a "secret code" related to the geology of the site, and its deciphering was not provided. Many of the quarries had a challenging geology, or the owners had challenges to make them operate profitably. Huge losses mounted to many of the operators and investors. When the code was cracked, this resulted in huge overproduction. The stone market, Rome, was buying too high, yet the operators dumped and suffered. The Town still has ample reserves of stone as a result of the Great Quarry Era.

We are withholding the Royal supporting vote yet, to see what others are proposed.

The wizard will have to thank you personally for such a profound gift (recorded)!

My humble recognition for you is:
- Promotion to L4: Novice
- A silver and copper coin from the year 1455, selected because of the rarity of the copper of that year (only 8 exist - and only 6 newer coppers than this exist in total)

As recognition of the benevolence of HH of North Face, we give the following choice items:

CR1442E a very rare (20) coin from the early most ancient era. We only had 2, which means that we are seeking to replace the coin from some source. (The CryptoMuseum, which the Duke is sponsoring, did not have one yet!)

CR1527E similarly a very rare (20) coin, not yet in the CryptoMuseum collection.

CR1543E a rare coin not yet in the CryptoMuseum collection.

CR1560E a very rare coin, with a float of 5 only currently (and not in CM).

AS1600E collectors' coin.

NI1600E collectors' coin with mintage of 50 only.

CA1600J a very rare collectors' coin with mintage/float of 25/12.

As a result of the addition of these 7 items to the CryptoMuseum collection, HH The Duke's collection matches the one by HE The Prince Ramsey (100 unique gold coins each).

I would like to propose the Great Quarry Era of the game as Legendary. 

It was a time when the active leaders of the town had to take the generation of stone for building our city into our own hands.  It proved a challenging and sometimes humbling experience, but is truly a Legendary Event of our town's history.

Please allow the wizard to have 100 of my CKG, as well as the undoubtedly coveted CR1400E coin, in recognition of the wizards ability to herald a second coming, a reconstruction, a likely new foundation of the kingdom.

From each, according to his ability. The gift has been noticed and recorded, effecting:

- Immediate promotion of Crichton to L4 Novice
- A small collection of Gold coins, including 2 CR-coins and 2 HM1600-coins, p.o. as a gift from the King

As a small (but heartfelt) token of my appreciation of the recent game development, please gift 40 million moneritos to Wizard Developer P.J.

Thank you--it is wonderful to see how this game is taking shape

The Duke of North Face would like to present the Wizard Developer P.J. with the following gifts as a welcoming gift to the Kingdom:

500 CKG
10 Shares of the Grand Hotel Corporation
200M Moneritos

North Face Issue Gold Coins
  1 NF1500E   
  1 NF1500J   
  1 NF1500Y
  1 NF1600Y

All items and transferred have been completed.  in addition, the Duke will pledge to assist to the best of his abilities the Great Wizard with any tasks needing completion to create the great works planned for the Kingdom.  Welcome!

I can say only "WOW"

I am really touched and so proud to be one of you guys..
Looking forward to give it to back to you in other form of wealth. I hope you will proud too, very very soon..   

A long procession of uniformed servants is paying homage to the Wizard Developer and bringing gifts to the Wizard Castle (after making a tour around the Central Square for a little bit of healthy self-promotion and publicity):


HE The Prince of Soul gives 500 CKG and 500 CKS, wondering the magnanimity of HE The Prince of OZ (who gave 2000 of both). Let us see what the other Princes think! In addition, the Prince gives the lot 3-NW-E5 (2q) directly opposite the Portal entrance over the Prince of Soul Park in the south-facing townhouse area. "So that the Wizard would have more choice on where to build!"
Also 1*ETS6 Silver Signet Ring from the TIE era, which the Prince gifts to all the people he has met personally. This happened already the third day after the Wizard had arrived to the Royal Palace of Malla.

and, due to the magnanimousness of the above, also:

The Most Ancient and Worshipful Corporation of the Town Hall is giving 1*TS145 silver coin, from the lot of 14 such coins that were received from the initial foreign visitors to the newly-built Town Hall in 1454.
Also 1*TH1500E and 1*TH1600E collector coins p.o.

The Jungherr Paul throws in 15 mil in cash.

The Marquess of Tavastia is aiming hard to please the King after the past issues, and raise to the Princely rank as Ramsey also did recently. Sadly, all Marquesses are very tough players so for a sockpuppet it is difficult to advance. Finally he finds something unique enough...
The gift of: "ART-G" A level 7 Ancient Work of Art depicting a company of ladies under a tree. Purchased or commissioned by the late Marquess of Arda in 1572, is now gifted to its third owner, the Wizard.

Sir Heimo, the Earl of Sarajas, gives a CR1508E, which is the rarest of the CR coins in existence with only 12 known. Those seeking to collect a full set of 100+ gold CR coins, (none are known to exist), this is an invaluable specimen.

Dr. SS gives cold, hard cash (10 mil)

Dr. HS-S gives cold, hard cash (20 mil)

nikke1 gives 2*NI1600E collector's coin. "You can divest the other one once they have gained value. Only 50 are made."

Zenon the Sorcerer, the Very Ancient Magus gives knowledge worth more than anything, and access to his library of papyri, older than any other items in existence in the game.

All gifts received as part of this 1600 Bicentennial Wizard Developer Gifting Round are treated as follows:
- 50% of the value of the gifts is a net bonus to the Developer, a token of gratitude, a thanks of good work
- 50% goes to the Wizard, but is counted towards the Town liability to pay the Wizard, reducing the liability.
So, by gifting, you give both to the Wizard directly, and also help the Town and the game!!

"Minting silver coins is forbidden except with Royal permission that was not granted to anyone during the whole of Ancient era, for the reason that:

Initially, there was the push towards gold as the storage of wealth and moneretos as means of payment, and silver needed to be suppressed.

I think it is just too similar to the last peak. They always play out similarly. We are now in the small notch that marks the difficulty of surpassing the previous ATH in mBTC terms.

Sunday release in Ultima is the Land management.

Ultima is on track to achieve the "V.1 specified functionality" in 3 weeks from the start of the project (about 6.5 days from the start now).

Ooops, we did it again....

HE The Prince of OZ has been awarded King's Hero Medal.

Already 3 KH have been awarded, so we need to be wary that the honor does not suffer inflation... 


Speaking about that - Only the People have the right to bestow the attribute Legendary. Now we are nearing the time when it is possible to start calling some things with such an attribute.

There is no other qualification than winning the popular vote. There will be 3 winners who receive the attribute. Every character may propose something to be named Legendary and every character has one proposing vote (counted as 1 point) and 2 supporting votes (counted as 1 point each).

- Ideas and game concepts are qualified
- Corporations are qualified
- Businesses are qualified
- Buildings are qualified
- Land and its features are qualified
- Events are qualified
- Items are qualified

- Living people are disqualified
- Anything less than 50 years old is disqualified.

Voting lasts for 5 days. We propose King's Park, because it is definite and for sure that everyone has fond memories of things happening in the oldest park in town, founded 1434!

These gifts have now been delivered to the Wizard.

4,000 mil is divided in gold dividends. The dividend per CKG was 4,000 m, which is about 0.50% per week on the gold's price.

All overhang overdraft balances have been cleared except ABC corporation.

ABC is about 635 million in debt, and its possessions include The Village Hotel in 1-SE-V13 (4 q, 431 floor-sqm), a nice and expandable property overlooking the Village Square to the south, only a few steps away from the Culture Square and Boulevard. Also Stone Hotel in 2-C-V1 (4 q, 856 floor-sqm), this is in the same building whose other end is called the Halls of Justice, which is facing the Trust in Economy Square, and from where this letter is being recorded.

The shareholders of the company are identified to be:

Sir Pablo (CEO),  27 shares
Tefer,  8 shares
HH The Duke of NL,  5 shares
HE The Prince of OZ,  5 shares
Lord Hokusai,  5 shares

The company's debt situation is unclear, the /DEBTS shows to debts which have had their due date but have not been cleared from the list. These include 1,000 CKG which, if valid, might force the liquidation of the company.

Unless the AGM of the company convenes in 48 hours to clear up the overdraft in some other way, the following will happen:
Both properties and their associated businesses, workforce, etc. will be put in a public auction. This is believed to yield more than the 635 million given the excellent locations of the lots and the quality of the workforce, and HM The King will make starting bids which equal the overdraft amount incl interest. If anything else is gained from the auction, it will be left to the company to manage as you wish, with no further overdraft possible.

Building Project will be enabled "soon". Still pending some stuff.

The King has made more silver available to the Queen's Pawnshop, without changing the formula. So silver will not be cheaper than the markets insist, but there will be more available after the price has hit the previous ceiling. For curiosity, silver in Crypto Kingdom, per gram, is currently fetching about the same as scrap silver is doing IRL with the most unscrupulous buyers ($0.15 per gram). If you want the early-1500s coins, there are now some

I didn't have a chance to thank you @sphericon and @Karl Hungus for such a generous gift.. I am deeply touched.

I can't wait to make for all of you even better interface and place where you can start enjoying this game properly..

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart

With awe and amazement We see the display of such magnanimity. Well understanding that the equal gift in splendor is not in the realm of possibility for the King who must spare himself to various directions, we will recognize the gift by offering something of unique value:

The only collection that includes the oldest singular gold, silver and copper coins existing in the realm. Of these, silver is possible to be had for money, since 53 exist. Gold is rather difficult to get. And the Copper from 1360 is unique, only one of a kind, making this gift also unique! We vowed to never sell it at any price ever, which makes it a good object for giving away The collection includes a dozen other coins as well. (I will make the entries)

Btw. Please the givers - arrange from the admins that your gifts are recorded in the DB!

The fruits of HM's long and auspicious reign have allowed our fair City to prosper like no other, and I have been blessed by his generosity and wisdom many times over the years. I look forward to celebrating HM's Bicentenary with much excitement!!

To the Wizard Developer I offer as gifts in honor of the King:
- 2,000 CKG
- 2,000 CKS
- Lots U1:U6 in the Old Town (6q, near the University)

I hope the land near the University gives him an opportunity to forge many stimulating friendships with our academics and intellectuals.
