After seeing many crowds of people on town gathering to catch a glimpse of the two Golden Lions adoring the palace situated along the King's Park, Master Jacket would like to formally announce the opening of his newest Tavern - "The Golden Lion".
It is conveniently located at the corner of Earl's Street and King's Park Street. It is a perfect location for visitors and scholars from the University along with the Nobles in the area.
The facility has all the comforts with a high luxury level and Fine service and food available for all. Please stop in a mention my name when you speak to our Managing Butler for a special bottle of our imported wine.

*ANNOUNCEMENT*
1. Master Saddam is hiring an architect to complete the design of my castle on the 6 quadrat plot of L43-L51. At the moment I have a rough draft to work from. I am looking for someone with the expertise to make the most out of my precious land! Please PM if interested.
2. Your Majesty, I would also like to purchase Jungherr Zecheriah's K7 plot for 160 m. Plans forthcoming. It seems like a great piece of real estate and I desire it.

Our royal Majesty has been calculating the value of his Kingdom, and already proclaimed that the sale of gold at any lower prices is not happening. Rather the price will be turned up:
We have completed calculations about what is the minimum price we are willing to sell gold. It happens that this price is 0.06. Therefore this + the 2 auctions that we have left until the Version 2: Ancients is playable, will all have the reserve of 0.06, and only meager amounts for sale at that price.
In the later game, gold represents the ownership of the whole game and the dividends of its success. At the current amount and price of gold, this is valued at 24,600 XMR and it therefore makes no sense to dilute the ownership further at any lower price.
If anyone remembers what I said no more than 3 weeks ago concerning land, now it's the time to say the same concerning gold.
We have been in active contact with the Version 2: Ancients developer team, and they once again confirmed the release date. The version has even more features than originally spexed; the addition that I heard of today is the "building icon editor":
As we know, the city consists of 850 quadrats currently. Each quadrat is 10x10 meters. In the online version, there will be no separate /OVERVIEW and /DETAILED views, rather the current /DETAILED will be transferred to a MCS (Main City Screen) with each quadrat represented by 20x20 pixels. The owner of the lot can now customize what he wants the visitors to see in the MCS level. (Later on, it will have layers, so that the visitor can choose the default layer with the advertisements, Building layer with floorplans, or one of many statistical layers.)
The Current /DETAILED will also lend some features to the new LS (Lot Screen). At this point, the LS is quite statistical, but in as little as 1 month, in Version 3, it will become the menu for doing very interesting things in the different buildings and rooms of the lot.
With all these coming in a few days, and only me really involved in the development so that I know they'll deliver, forgive me if I see a great disparity in the price and the value of gold, and act accordingly.
As for the price of land, that one seems quite fair. The land in the centre is still a long-term investment. It is only when the city is more tightly built that the location really starts to give the edge. Currently the only ***** hotel is in a certain place, the only department store in another, etc. But later on the difference of even one quadrat, or which side of the building the entrance is, can make a difference of millions per year.

Promotions in the army:
Lord James has been promoted Major (AOD-Maj).
Lord Karl has been promoted Major (AOD-Maj).
With Lord James, the reason for promotion is that he is commanding 2 companies, which is a formidable force. The companies are stationed in the NorthEast Tower (1-N-T) under 2 lieutenants, and Lord James is encouraged to visit them every once in a while.
Lord Karl's subordinate, a NPC, was promoted Captain, prompting the promotion up in the ranks also.
In addition, one NPC was promoted Major and Captain promotions were several. We also have 6 master sergeants in the Army, and this is a sign of hard training. You cannot buy them with money.
With Citadel works again activating with the construction of the donjon base and the gatehouse this year, and the moat soon after, we have been able to terrify the barbarians to not attacking so far. They have only 16 more years that we believe they have the realistic chance to attack. Since the chance is realistic, His Majesty will spare no comfort in strengthening the defences, so that we could avoid or mitigate the calamities that would befall us, if our defence in depth is not successful.

Subscription list
His Majesty is well aware that the land alone is worth more than the whole corporation according to this IPO. However, according to the original agreement, the Noble Palace is a place where even intrigue against His Majesty must be allowed, to have a safety valve for improper feelings. We must reaffirm our decline to participate this great project.
- G12 was recently sold for 120 mil/q, F7 for 125/q, and you can see for yourself that they are not at the center of the map as A1 is.
- Same is happening as with Grand Hotel, which is already trading 55% over IPO price, even after 10% dividends.
- We must hurry with the department of Economics, so that the royal ranting may be moved there, and away from the thread
EDIT: Baron Zechariah will up his ante to 30 mil based on the recent information (above).
EDIT2: It has also come to my attention that the Bishop is taking 90 million and Earl Riccardo is in for 70 million.
Bishop and Earl would like to be acknowledged in the final allocation, unless there are overarching reasons why they'd be left out.
His Majesty!
I would like to sell all my stone
And buy D8 with the moneritos acquired

Shame on everyone for even considering that commoners be allowed in the Noble Palace.
Shame shame!
Shame on the Nobles who did not support their own club...

Sounds good. Any screenshots?
See the links on the OP - The City Map is there along with the character database. Currently there is no web-playable version yet, but an initial version is coming at the end of the month.
In the spirit of inclusion, and in recognition of the excellent work of Master Jacket thus far and for his good citizenship, the NPC will allow this purchase only if there are none opposed among the NPC by the completion of the IPO (private response please).
His Majesty is quite amused that the Noble Palace is collecting money from the commoners 
Shame on everyone for even considering that commoners be allowed in the Noble Palace. The Royal Charter was originally that even the junior nobles would be excluded as well

I guess this is an opposition...
There is the Grand Hotel, with rooms of every size from 8 to 126 sqm, most tastefully finished, (suffering from being too big into our small town and the situation is not necessarily getting easier with the N.P.),
THIS is the place where the industrious commoners should direct their attention. Both in inviting their friends, and in buying the shares if they so wish.

The Grand Hotel is a wonderful facility and Master Jacket is very happy to be a 1/5 owner of the fine establishment! It is THE place for all of Master Jacket's friends and business associates when visiting our fine city.
I encourage all to visit and dine at the exquisite restaurant with the best chef in town!!!

If they allow anyone to become a member, I will make a better club for only the 5 largest landowners...

I can't open the char document from my phone because of google's way of doing things, so if I have enough money I would also like to buy 15 shares... if I don't then I would like Luigi to make me an offer for some stone to reach 15 mil so I can afford 15 shares!
Thanks a lot for understanding!

Lord Luigi would like to purchase 50 shares.
Now, regarding payment methods, it is clear that purchasers would be ahead to sell the stone to me at > 100 (buy price has never been below 100), if they were planning to take the stone route.
Apologies for the delay, I had to fund my account, once the transaction has gone through there should be 300 moneros in there ready to buy your shares.
I can't open the char document from my phone because of google's way of doing things, so if I have enough money I would also like to buy 15 shares... if I don't then I would like Luigi to make me an offer for some stone to reach 15 mil so I can afford 15 shares!
