Regarding gold dividends: is there/will there be a way to estimate the amount of dividends for a given amount a gold? A "dividend calculator" would come in handy.

Since these dividends are such an important feature in the game, they will be recorded in the /SCHEDULE tab and some estimation table provided. Calculator is difficult since people do not have write access.

Ann: Administrators Office Hour is open every day, from 8pm to 9pm GMT on ##crypto-kingdom IRC channel

During 8-9pm GMT Febo is available on the IRC channel to assist players that need to reach an admin quickly: He will help by buying and selling gold/stone/shares and to record deals between players, and also to do fast Building Inspections (depending on availability).

We hope the Office Hour becomes a success and makes it possible to offer faster admin services for the players.

New land opened in 2-W

The town council had another meeting today. (We meet every workday for 30 minutes, today was longer since we needed to coordinate the weekend also.)

Decisions:

1. The town does not offer the proposed relief for unprofitable quarries if they want to sell out "early". The deal is 150 million purchase option for the land, and the Town will use it in case anyone wants to quit. As for the buildings, they have a certain demolish value, and the town will either pay it in cash, or let the buildings be demolished for stone, which the closing quarry then gets to themselves before selling the cleared land to the Town.

2. One of the remaining quarry sites seemed to have a firm foundation so we decided to open it for building. It is zoned and lots are available to be purchased at the prices in 2-OVERVIEW. The prices are based on roadside = 40/q, others 10-20/q. All lots are large, 4-12 quadrats, yet cheapish, 100-280 mil.

3. A part, 15 quadrats, of the new land was "given" (sold at 10/q) to HM for the purpose of developing houses that can be sold with land for 25 million as a part of the New Player Starter Kit.

4. The Starter Kit will be available on Monday.

5. The Town m dividends will start on Sunday.

Auction of the RAQ shares is now closed, and open market trading is now open.

Thank you to all who have participated in the auction and congratulations to the winners!  /Corp page is updated with your stone allotments automatically, let us know which of you want "Autobuy" enabled?
Yet another record was set with this auction in that it surpassed even NLQI as the most broadly owned quarrying concern with 9 different shareholders with Roopatra and HM topping the list.  Good things are ahead for holding the RAQ!

The House of royal Magnificence ("HM")

(link is best viewed in "google sheets" instead of in "default"

The Royal Majesty has viewed with satisfaction the increase of the building mass of The Prince of OZ and the plans for such by The Prince of New Liberty. We do not want in any way to hinder the Princes' effort to raise their building wealth to match the King or even exceed it. Nevertheless, we have felt that the Magnificence of our Royal Majesty has for long needed more opulent premises than the old palace. Therefore,

To celebrate the centenary of laying of the cornerstone of the Town (this year) and that of the Royal Palace of Malla (2 years from now), we build and inaugurate the

House of Royal Magnificence in 2-C-A1

to spread the limits of our construction skills further than ever before. The following records are made:

- Most gold used in a single building (8,190)
- Highest price per sqm (1.1 million)
- Highest total price (1.9 billion)
- Highest inner height (25 m)
- Largest hall (area = 548 sqm; l & w max = 26 m; h max = 25 m)
- Largest columns used in construction (8 columns 3x2 in size, 21 m high each)
- Largest windows (10 windows with the size of 26 sqm each)
- Largest total window area (obviously... 422 sqm)
- Most expensive staircase (32 million, incl gilding labor, not incl gold, lux nor tax)
- Highest elevation between adjacent floors (13 m)
- Highest staircase (12 m in 4 flights)
- Largest dome constructed (201 sqm inner area, 509 sqm gilded exterior, 30 m apex height)
- Lowest number of taxable floors in such a building (2).

Now we feel confident to give the Princes a friendly exhortation that they may build whatever they like and there is no reason to fear that the Magnificence of the King is violated. Our next great project, the Château of Versailles, will be built in the next century, unless the emphasis of our magnificence prompts a more urgent schedule of course...

In just 3 years under the new management, the RAQ quarry is producing over x10 more stone every day. It is now the second most productive quarry, only to NLQI which has the same management team. RAQ is also the only quarry that has backed its finances by the Prince of NewLiberty paying from his own pocket any costs of running the quarry that are not covered by the stone sales (for a duration of 10 years). Now is your last chance to bid for these much wanted shares in the auction.

In gratitude to the Lord Baron Luigi for the great many efforts and attention to good record managements, for the extraordinary patience this requires, and as generally a pillar of the community of the Crypto Kingdom, please accept this token of appreciation and honor.

This gilded statue of a lion may adorn the Lucky Lion and perhaps even attract more commerce to that worthy location so close to our town's obelisk.

Gilded with 100 gold may it remind us and all who visit it there of the noble qualities of wisdom, strength, compassion and courage.



Lord Luigi is humbled by the Prince's most generous gift.

The Lucky Lion has never looked so good!

Minimum bid: 50 million moneritos. First bid has priority over latter same amount, etc,etc.

Update 2 .- All four slots have been taken! thanks a lot to The Most Ancient Players that show interest on this modest company! Only 16 hours to go, only higher bids will now be able to overtake previous bidders. The raise amount will be the typical 10%, so please bid in 50-55-60, etc.
As the spots are already covered, the ABC company is going to be a reality soon! We hope to deliver a steady flow of dividends and participate in the new and exciting projects that are in preparation. I would like to remind everyone that we are just in shambles yet, the arrival of the online version will see our Kingdom thrive! :-)

Update 3.- I will be live monitoring the end of the auction either here in the forum and in the IRC channel. Every last minute bid posted, if any , 15 minutes less than the final hammer, will extend the auction another 15 minutes, so noone is left behind. We will start the construction of the second hotel this very same day.

Thanks for reading!

In a letter to all players, His Majesty (out of game: sender war saddambitcoin) wrote

There is a huge backlog of promotions that can not happen unless the minimums are met.
If this is not already planned, I suggest (for the online version) that every PC has a list of promotions and medals showing the next one that can be unlocked, to incentivise players to get them. So basically, every promotions and medals would be visible except the one that requires a promotion or medal that the PC doesn't have yet. I hope I am clear.

This is a very good idea. If the player can see that he can be promoted to Level 9 but the game "lacks" of just a handful of players to keep with the "pyramid" Level system, he will be more engaged to look for new players, run promotions, etc.

saw the thread but never really bothered reading what's inside... but wow!  awesome idea.

one question tho, why use XMR?  why not go for BTC directly, or something with a bigger market like LTC or DOGE?  just wondering...

Better solution: make the XMR market bigger than those. DOGE is a bit of an outlier, but XMR clearly has more to offer than LTC, which is a dumb BTC clone with different ASICs. XMR has more to offer clearly.

Because the goal is to promote Monero, a true electronic cash with no compromise about your privacy.

Painting of Church Youth Center from East side, with hanging gardens on the roof.

Lord Saddam ponders this painting and marvels at its greatness. Having spent several hours himself designing his castle in 2D, the added dimension pleases Saddam very much.

It is indeed a marvel!  The skill of the architect is great and wondrous.
Might it benefit from doors leading to the front two gardens or are these not depicted?  The Top floor seems to have a door that leads to a drop of one storey.  Though it may simply be an artifact of the view.
We chose Signore Mortiginto as the official Church's architect for a reason.
Doors are on the right side (and are not depicted). The center "hole" is meant as a sort of well of light. The reaso why it is not at the center is explained in the introductory post: more flexibility for giant rooms

The Prince of New Liberty has spared no stone (1.7 million used) to construct a wonderfully simple, yet solid, residential house in the 2 borough.

This house has 1054 sqm and has commercial space in 12-42 sqm units and residential in 12-118 sqm units.

In addition to the edifice in the New City, The Southern Gate of our Capital is now also protected by the Barbican.






This fortified and defensible structure not only serves as barracks for the soldiers sponsored by the Prince, but also hosts a variety of weapon, armor and archery manufacture, repair and sales.

We trust the good people of the Crypto Kingdom, now having easy access to arms and weapons with both learn the use of these with alacrity, but also kindly refrain from using them other than in defense. 

Be it known that if the bells are rung from these towers, that the hale and swift be called to arms, to hold fast against Southern on comers.
