Smooth Investment Fund update

I'd like to remind everyone that Smooth Investment Fund is available to invest your idle cash balances. We are making a market at a 3% spread and the market is still at a bit of a discount to NAV.

The fund has an investment return so far of 8.63% (those who participated in the secondary offering at a discount, such as the most astute Marquess of Soul, have done even better).

The fund has no management fee charged to investors. Profit sharing of 20% of net profits is paid by the fund to the manager at repricing events (such as a secondary offering or liquidation).

I still cannot find out the games link can you paste it here? Whatever link i open the forum's page open's up.
I am totally confused is it a playing graphic game or just about buying and selling things mining,investing something..

Yeah sure thanks Smiley I just want the link couldn't find out here to play the game first.

Currently it not a graphical web-based game yet, but a buying, selling, and resource management game that will be eventually migrated to the web-based graphical game.  All current game transactions are tracked and recorded in the Google Sheets DB linking in the OP.

Getting started now would allow you to setup a player, learn the underlying game formulas and mechanics, earn moneritos, and participate in role playing over IRC channel.  Once you become familiar with the structure and game mechanics, you may be interested in learning a trade to earn additional moneritos by providing services to other players such as building design or other developing game trades.  A recent new player auditioned with some musical talent (IRL recording)  and was hired by the Noble Palace and earns a yearly (currently daily) salary in the game from the Noble Palace.

See below for information on creating a character and joining.  Many of the real-time questions can be answered via IRC channel.

We accept new players!

It is easy to enter the game as a new player! Just ask any of the admins (we are about 10 atm) to add your information in the /CHAR tab:
- BCT nick in column "B" in the new id's starting from 78
- Name in the game in column "C"
- Age of the character at start in column "O"
- Sex in column "R" (coded as Male(1), Female (0))
- Write the current year in the game in column "AD"
- Write "Visitor" in column "S".

A deposit is not required for starting. To get the game going, you can either/or/both ask donations and favors from the nobles who hang around in Freenode ##crypto-kingdom (or this thread), or make the deposit (contact "saddambitcoin" for payment id) and buy stuff.

The cheapest houses in the game are in 2-W chapelry, it is a peaceful area of 13 small houses in their own lots, no land tax. They take you up to Level 4. The already discounted price is 25 million (25 XMR), but as a special giveaway:

- the King is making 10 million off for new players
- the Bank is giving a 10 million loan against the lot (optional, nobody is forced to go in debt).

We purposefully leave raising the 5 million for your imagination Smiley

Important update


List of updates for the 1600 A.D. version with schedule coming

It is one month to go until 1600, which will greatly change the game dynamics, because the time is passing only one month per real-day (and may be moved to pass continuously instead of stepwise).

The Town Council is discussing about which features we need/want to keep up with the story. We are in a position to launch some in advance, to make their balancing easier and keep the design workflow constant.

We are moving to the new player acquisition phase gradually. At present we want both investors who see the opportunity to capture a several % stake of the game with a few $1,000 investment (so even less is a big money!), and entry level players willing to play for free and see what they can achieve (Currently the highest "free" player is in L10 - Countess, the 13th most senior PC in the game).

The current DB easily supports 5 times the number of PC we have now (assuming most of them start small, and a percentage gets hooked over the first weeks as is already observed). If we actually do get this number, the DB can be protected so that its life is extended. It has served us reasonably well in its first incarnation, and the current "entry row form + SUMIF/VLOOKUP" structure. There is a further possibility to move to macros and "actual" forms to add/edit data in the DB (with no direct access to change the data by anyone, improving security), but we don't expect that this will be needed any more due to the change to the custom DB that has been under development for 3 months and is in the finishing stage.

We want to spare no effort to make the game accessible to new players. While saying this, it remains a fact that the large masses can only start to be interested when the v. 4 Online is playable. It is free to register now, just contact any of the admins who take your minimum character info, and start to immediately earn money. ##crypto-kingdom @ freenode IRC is the way to get more info.

Culture

HH The Duke of New Liberty is awarding culture points daily to players who interact in the chat, in this thread, or anywhere. Being Cultured is a main way to gain a higher level and (for example) higher payouts as well.

Science

The Science production in the realm has increased greatly, and in just a few years we have enough science to unlock the "crown glass windows making" technology. This will be monopolized by the RWWC company, to grant monopoly profits to its shareholders for the foreseeable future. It is also possible to buy shares of this company in its IPO now, and probably never again. Browse back the thread for details.

New boroughs opened

The /OV1 tab shows the location of the new boroughs in a rudimentary map.

Borough 4 is the first one where the Town fulfills its promise of giving land strictly free, with no payment to the town, and no tax. It is a little interesting, though Wink See the special rules in /OV4.

Borough 5 does not have special rules, and has some quarry sites where the companies who see their reserves depleting, can relocate their production. Land here is sold per chapelry, at a decreasing ask price (Dutch auction), until it settles to 1,000 mil per chapelry (6.67 mil/q). In addition, the Town will possibly soon list the roadside for sale at about 20-40/q and backyard at 10-20/q.

Surprise move by the peasants regarding stone

The peasants have decided that both they and we have enough stone that they can deliver the whole of the remaining stone staking by gold ownership in one go. This added more than 20 million stone to the reserves, but it's unlikely that it will much affect the price, since the stone was not anyway going to be consumed in the next 30 years.

So gold is no more generating any stone, and there is no asymmetric staking. It generates moneretos as it has already done for weeks, and now is technically easy to be listed in the trading systems of Polonia if we and they so wish. (Our currency, moneretos, is commonly used in that land, and staking in this way is none of a problem, rather an encouragement for them to try and buy CKG as well).

Stone is now localized by borough, transport costs

Until now, it has been easy to use stone that is located nearest to the site of building, and just transfer the ownership on parchment. This was the invention of the Earl of Rome in 1434. In the 1400s, the stone was stored in a great heap in the Central Square, but due to Grand Hotel complaints, it was moved to area in and around Citadel. Now it may be that the construction site is so far from even the nearest stone that it needs to be transported. Even if the road is good (and double so if not), this is a costly procedure since our buildings consume enormous amounts of stone. The University alone, was 50 million kg of stone. Luckily that was right next to the Citadel and the heaps. But hauling the stone to the 4th borough (where quarrying is not possible locally) understandably has a cost. Details can be found in the new tabs T_STONE and STONE (the old tabs are discontinued):

Promotions

The Prince of New Liberty is created Duke. "Our goal has been to have 100,000 players, of whom about 0.05% would eventually attain the title of Duke and the corresponding level L13, the highest regular title in the game (there is L14 existing, but its use has not been codified yet due to it not being needed). Everyone knows that His Highness The Duke (only Dukes are entitled to the honorific HH, and the address Your Highness) is a pillar of our town, kingdom and world. His plans of building a 52 quadrat project in the Old Town dwarfs the (so far the largest building complex) The University Main Building by a factor of 2. His economic empire is perhaps the largest in the game. It may sound to others that becoming a Duke after such an example shows that it is impossible, but the target remains for 50 Dukes to be created in connection of getting the first 100,000 players  Cheesy His Highness' most outstanding virtues are still not his ability to build big and make money, but the helping of the poorest and smallest, with a kind heart, and remarkable steadfastness in the IRC."

The Marquess of North Face is promoted Prince. "His Excellency The Prince is among the largest owners and operators of everything, including being top-rated in both Culture and Science, CEO of the Most Ancient Grand Hotel, as well as other businesses. His ascent to highest echelons of the game has been methodological and effective, and he has demonstrated magnanimousness in his endeavours as well as perhaps the keenest business sense of all."

Lord Paulson is created Earl. "Sir Pablo has served decades as Councillor and tried his skill in many aspects of the game. Although we find his benevolence lacking in monetary terms, he is making it up with a neverending stream of proposals how to administrate and develop the game. Also he is one of the most cultured people around, due to the bold and groundbreaking decision to open the first $$$$$$ restaurant, El Bulli, in the town."

Lord HH is created Earl. "Sir Heimo has reached the statutory 60 days of ownership of 10,000 gold. During this time, the price of gold has risen 145%, notwithstanding the about 13% dividends plus stone staking."

drfred is ennobled (L9=Baron). "We withheld this gold-based promotion a long time due to the previous rule of also needing clothes to become a Baron. This rule is no longer applied so 4,000 gold is making Lord drfred a Baron, and we will deal with the clothes issue later when the Trollboxes require the oldtimers to use fitting clothes to distinguish them from the visitors."

I would like to take you up on the offer of the NE tower that has been occupied by my troops. What price did you have in mind?

Checked that in the area, land is about 90/q, and the tower was 62 million, so giving the building at half the price, how does 210 million sound?


That sounds great, I should have the Crypto Kingdom Gold in my account to pay that, I think the exchange rate is pretty decent at the moment as well.

The exchange rate between gold and land is indeed pretty decent for holders of the former  Cheesy

I will order special hearts and minds training for my troops to assist them in tax collecting, I fear their military training would have hardened their minds to the plight of the common man.

You nobles are being trained here to go out and help the peasants with their troubles. There are so many things they cannot do themselves. Better organization of the countryside means better security for them, and the taxes they pay gladly because it is all for their good. That the taxcollectors bear arms is just an old custom, it does not mean anything in our modern age. If any of the peasants do not agree with these basics, perhaps there is something wrong with his understanding, and a clinic is probably needed. After all, without government, there is no health or happiness - anything that looks like it is suspicious.
